WAGE REDUCTION UNIVERSAL.
The Trusts Continue to Flourish, But
Workers and Consumers
Do Not Thrive.

There are two reasons given for the
protective tariff by the republicans, one
that it protects the manufacturers from
foreign competition and the other that
it raises the price for labor. AS about all
the manufacturers have been organized
into trusts or combines and every in
dustry has long ago thrown off it's swad-
ding clothes and none of them a any
longer be called infant industries, the
first reason for a protective tariff falls
to the ground. The rapid decrease in
wages now going on, the numerous
strikes and the continued high cost Of
living would seem to demolish the other
reason. But the protectionists are still
saying 'let well enough alone" although
their voices are much less strident than
when Hanna issued instructions to
stand pat" There has been no lower
ing of the tariff tax, the Dingley bill is
still supposed to adequately ecu
American industrial products against
the competition of foreign labor" but
the old machine shows signs of wear
and rasps and groans when the labor
cogs need oiling. Where protection is high
est there seems to be the most friction,
as in the iron and steel industries.
The latestto show signs Of demoraliza-
tion is the lumber and logging business
in which wages have declined about Is
per cent. A dispatch from Ontonagon,
Mich, to the Boston Transcript, says:
During the past few weeks there has
been a notable change in the labor stu
alton in logging circles in northern
Michigan. the opening of the season
men were 81 scarce that numbering con-
Germs could only get a small portion Of
the help needed. High wages were no
inducement. Now, however, more men
are applying for work than can be en-
ployed and wages have dropped from $50
and $35 per month, including board, to
500 and $26. Some employers are said
to be securing green hands for as low as
$1S per month"
The wood and lumber schedule of the
Dingley bill is still protecting the lum-
Der trusts and combines, and allowing
them to continue the exorbitant profits
on lumber and shingles, but the men in
the woods and who u the saw mills are
not partaking Of the prosperity.

Gov. Peabody and Colorado state
Military Authorities.

Cripple Creek, Col, Jan. 16.-John
NJ. Glover, former congressman from
Missouri, was again arrested by a
military squad Friday and placed in
The county Jail.
Mr.. Glover, who fought the military
three weeks ago and was shot in the

The letter, which Commander Yer
deckberg considered to be in violation
Of the terms of Mr.. Glover's release,
follows:
Cripple Creek, Jan. 14.-Col. Yer
deckberg, Camp Goldfield: Dear Sir
My wounds having healed sufficiently,
I desire to be rid of the parole signed

other way to effect this except to re-

Mr.. Glover did not resist arrest, but
protested against being placed in Jail.
No charges were preferred against
him.
At the Jail Mr.. Glover said his coun-

United States circuit court against
Gov. Peabody, the state military au-
thorities and others, under the civil

prive him of his rights under the fed.

ROOSEVELT'S PANAMA RECORD
The Presidents Isthmian Policy
Right in Line with Republican
SpOIiatiOn.

If the president is not decidedly shaky
in justifying his Panama record to the
conscience of his people, then our reading
of this second message is hopelessly at
fault, says the Springfield (Mass.) Re-
publican. His radical shifting of ground
and his promiscuous clutch at the re-
mark of an anonymous Panama native
reported in the press, reveal a disturbed
state of mind. His distortion or misin-
depreciation of facts is notable. His as
sertion that the orders to the naval Off
GERS, prior to the revolution, to prevent
the landing of Colombian troops with
in 80 miles of Panama" were in line with
the governments traditional policy, Is
ridiculous. He fails to show any pre-
cedents for the naval orders he gave
there are none. The orders of 1902.
which are cited, are not parallel and,
moreover, they were strongly protested
by the Colombian governments fact
that is not mentioned. The president
still ignores, as if 1t were death itself,
the vital point that he had no right, I'M
der the treaty of 1916, to prevent Colon
bia from making an effort to maintain
her sovereignty in her W territory;
and that his action, taken as it was be-
fore the local uprising, was an enormous
ly destructive act of war upon a sover-
eign and friendly nation.
Mr.. Roosevelt builds up his case upon
the u~nwarrantable assumptionthatthere
was but one possible canal route, and
that route the Panama. He even tells
congress in so many words that there is
now mo alternative" to Panama-which
is astonishing in view of the plain terms
of the SpOoner act-and that "the only
question" involved in the present canal
treaty sis whether or not We shall build
an isthmian canal" If congress had
hitherto taken the presidents view 1t
would have legislated to the effect
that there was an alternative route.
What we see is an overriding of con-
gress by the executive, who has reckless
ly taken the bit into his teeth and pro-
poses to drag the national legislature
after him. Throughout all his messages,
papers and diplomatic correspondence
the past year can be seen the plain de-
termination TO seize the Panama 18TH
mus, If the opportunity offered; TOR to ad-
wise congress to have it seized, il Colon
bia should Aot at once bend to our will,
As the desires of the United States In
creased, in the presidents mind, the
rights of Colombia decreased.
All attempts at moral or legal justifca.
ton of this episode are Intellectual. We
need only to keep in mind the essential
facts to detect the fallacy and the hum.
bug and the spoliation of the hour.

could.
The sheriff consented, and let it b.
known that Robinson would be in b.s

came into town from the county in the

AS the time passed he grew more

GETS ORDERS FROM TRUST.
And Congress Goes On Carrying Out
the R~Obber-Tarif
Schedule.

Congressman Lowering, of Massachu-
sets, has again introduced his tariff
drawback bill in congress. This bill,
by making it easy for manufacturers
who import raw materials and export
finished goods, practically gives manu-
facturers free raw materials when maxi
ing goods for export. 1t would, there
fore, still further reduce the prices Of
American goods to foreign consumers.
But, while it is, like our other tariff laws,
designed in the interest of our manu-
facturers and of foreigners, yet, there is
no reason why democrats should oppose
it. In fact, there are several reasons why
they might aid its passage:
1. 1t will enable our manufactures
to manufacture for foreigners on a free
trade basis. This will benefit foreigners
without injuring American consumers.
2. 1t will cause more goods to be made
in this country and will thus provide en-
ployment for many now needing it
badly.
3. 1t is opposed by the giant steel
trust. 1t was, in fact, defeated in the
last congress by direct orders from the
head of this o~verbearing infant robber,
which now controls the raw material for
thousands of ordinary manufacturers.
Should it again instruct its special con-
gressmen, Dalzell and Payne-both great
republican leaders-to bottle up the
Lowering bill in the ways and means
committee, and put the cork in tight, all
the republicans in congress will meekly
submit, and good old Mr.. Lowering will
again be told that it is unwise to start
discussion Of the tariff question in a
presidential election year. This will set
tie it.
This is a great country-for some
trusts.
