Mr. Low is a Republican, or because RepubH-

TEE CorERyuENr AND THE UNIONS.


TIE GOVERNNENT AND THE UNIONS.
No honest and fair minded labor unionst will
ind fault with President Roosevelt's attitude
concerning the relation OF organized labor 10
The public service No matter how enthusiastic
NAV be his devotion 10 unonism, no matter
how firmly he may believe it benefits wage
earners and indirectly the whole country, he
must recognize it, after all, as a private ana
voluntary institution with which the govern
lneni has no partnership. In the eye of the law
The union man and the non-Umion man are alike.
The government cannot discriminate between
them Ii it did. the scales Of justice would no
longer be equally balanced and when the gov
ernnlenI ceases 10 treat all men as equal before
The law. then may be sure that it will be the
wage esrners and the poor general who will
suffer from the discrimination. Therefore, it viii
be a sorry day for labor when the doctrine OF
equality is oyerthrown and the government is
made 10 favor any set Of men, either because
they are labor uHionists or AIethodists or Re
rubIicans or Free Masons or anything else
The President, in calling renewed attention TO
the rule CT equal rights, merely applies 10 all
departments Of the government service the
principle which when first promulgated with
reference 10 the Government Printing Office,
was generally acknowledged. even by the book
binders who were threatening a strike, to be
Just and in accordance with the clear require
Tnents OF law. If the immediate effect OF the
ruling is seemingly prejudicial TO labor unions,
the unionists have only 10 thank themselves,
especially those unioniSts directly responsible
for abusing the privileges allowed them ia the
Government Printing Office and. secondarily.
unionists in general who have tolerated and even
stood sponsor for those abuses fostered in the
iianle Of labor. Organized labor 10y the yOlun
iary action of the employees prevailed in the
printing Office and no question would have
been raised about it II unionism there had not
Been used as an instrument Of organized rob
herv CT tie government. The work there was
made TO cost far more than higher grade Of
production cost in the most expensive union
shoDs Of the most expensive cities. New-York
and Chicago; and the faithful official who
sought to secure for the government a 1air
union DAYS work for a fair union day pay
was attacked as an enemy of organized Iabor'
md labor unions were invited to make the
cause Of these "grafters' their own.
Honest labor unionists had no patience win
such methods and the Washington bookblnders
soon discovered that they could make no head
way and get no sympathy from organized labor
IN general in their attempt TO cloak plain rob
berry in the guise Of a campaign for unionism-
Likewise. organized labor in general will, we
think. realize the proper limit Of unionism and
the utter inlpossibility OF the governments
sharing its authority in the conduct Of its own
business with any private association whatever.

c4NAD4's TRADE AND OURS.

We justly eXult in our commerce. 1t has at
tanned enormous proportions, and is still grow
ing. We stand to-day in the foremost rank of
commercial nations. But we must remember
that we are very large nation. We are the
most pOpuIous of ali the highly civilized nations
of the world and therefore ought to have the
largest commerce. Our exultation should, how
ever, be moderated by the reflection that in
proportion to our size our commerce is not the
largest, nor anywhere near it. and that it is not
growing nearly so fast as that of some other
nations. In both of these particulars we are far
outstripped by our northern neighbor. The fact
may hurt our pride, but it is nevertheless a fact
that Canadas foreign commerce is proportion
ateIy much larger than ours and is growing
much faster.
Canada's foreign trade has more than doubled
In the seven years 1S96-1903, while it has taken
ours twenty-four years. from 1879 to 1908, 10 do
So Hers increased in those seven years by
more than 103 per cent. while in the same time
ours increased by less than IS per cent So much
for rate of growth. in which Canada is evident
ly beating us by more than two 10 one. Now
for relative magnitude at the present time.
Canada trade in the last fiscal year was $467,-
637 O49 which, reckoning her population at
!5.T50.000. was ISL Il head. Ours was $2.445,-
$685., which, reckoning our population at So
100000 was less than So a head. That is
humiiiating showing for us. Nor is it much i'm
proved when we consider merely the export
trade. For Canada's exports were S37 a head
and ours less than SIS II head. So Canadas
commerce. in proportion 10 her size is between
two and three times as large rs ours, and is
growing more than twice fast.
Reasons for this may be plenty black
berries We have no doubt many viii be forth
coming. But reasons cannot change the facts
Remedies would be more TO the point. Perhaps
it may be wen. however, at the risk of dam
nabc iteration" to observe once more that
Canadas trade is increasing as the trade of the
port OF New-Yorb is decreasing, at the same
time and with some suggestive similarity of ex-
tent, II may also be recalled that these proc
csses date chiefly from the development of the
Canadian canal system and the neglect of tho
canal system which connects New-York with
