first case, and. one in which nearly all
the large shippers of more than one

GERMAN CITIZENS

HHE great public parade and fes-
tivities on Sunday which were
= held by the German citizens Of Los
Angeles city and county to celebrate
the oath anniversary of the landing
of the first party of Germans at Ger
mantown, Pa, were indicative by their
numbers and evident happiness of the
high mark of general prosperity reached
by these most desirable citizens.
German money, brains and valor
have ever been lavishly given for the
upbuilding and defense of the United
States government, and whether on the
fields of battle of the war of the re-
bellion or the Spanish war, or on the
floors of the highest councils in tho
land, German pluck, endurance, elo-
quence and knowledge have ever been
to the fore in all that makes for the
right. Sigel in war and Schurz In
statecraft have left the German I'M
press on our historic page, and the peo-
pie of that nation have a record in the
affairs of this nation Of which they
may be pardonably proud.

ELOQUENT SILENCE

N ECRETARY TAFT left Japan for
~ Manila on Sunday after a pro-
~ longed visit in that country, being
fresh from the vortex Of the recent i'm
migration troubles in Washington grow
ing out of the japanese influx there,
and, so far as the public knows (and
the public should know, no word of
his was spoken touching the crying
need of his people for relief in the mat
ter of staying the japanese from COM
ing here. He was wined and dined by
the highest in the land and had pri-
vate dinner with the mikado, all of
which true Americans are glad to know,
as it reflects the honor in which this
government is held among foreigners,
but the joy such knowledge brings is
clouded by the fact that in all he said
and he talked much-not one word
was advanced that could be construed
as wishing the Japanese government
would take immediate steps to check
the leaving of its people for this
country.
The administration equipped him to
travel $4,000 miles to Manila to fix the
administration fences there, but never
to say word that could cause hope to
rise in the poor mans heart that the
future held for him and his family the
freedom of the labor market of his
country.
| 1t is true there are pressing questions
pending in Manila, and that the nation
stands to lose, with certain national
disgrace, all that Dewey won so glor-
iously and all our taxpayers paid for so
cheerfully, under the impression that a
great national blessing was destined
thereby to the people, and it is very
necessary that possible breaks in the
Republican fence there be covered up
| before the next national convention,
but 1t is also at least equally necessary
that the workingmen of this nation
should have some service from this
exalted servant of the people looking
| toward a settlement of the troubles
now pressing on them, and which, II
not promptly adjusted to ordinary con-
lceptions Of justice, must lead to grave
conditions in the near future.
| We have President Roosevelt speak
ing at all available points on the great
river. on all possible subjects but this
pressing one of immigration; Secretary
Root in the Mexican capital enlarging
on all sorts of things to benefit the five
small Central American states, but
ignoring the needs of the laboring
| masses of his own land. Secretary
Stratus in Hawaii and in all the north
west, delying into all phases of labor
but the real one at issue, and cham
pioning the child who is made to labor

tary Taft who goes to our foreign pos
Los Angeles herald., 1907-10-08

among a semi4barbarous people, leav-
ing many OF his countrymen behind him
in sore straits to make living, and
never word to help remove the cause
of his troubles.
These things are true. and the people
know them to be true. and the men who
must fight for q chance to work and live
with the aliens of Asia know these
things to be true, and it is "up to"
them by their votes in the coming ma
tional election to change these con-
ditions and under Democratic auspices
travel back again to the only safe
anchorage this country ever had or
ever will have-a constitutional govern
ment which conserves the welfare of
the working masses because it is the
keystone of national life.

GOOD OBJECT LESSON

UHE Louisville Courier-Journal, in
commenting on the question OF
Il supplying the battleship feet with
coal and referring to the respective
prices of domestic and foreign Goals,
says: 1.-THE offers for American coal
and Welsh coal showed that the latter
was nearly twice as high as American
s12 a ton to $6.16, delivered at Callao.
Now, why is it necessary to protect
our coal by tariff in excess of the
total wages paid, when our coal beats
foreign coal in free market? The
workingman of the United States is
evidently not protected in this way"
1t is difficult to answer the question
in a satisfactory manner, and is one of
several of the same import developed
by the needs of the fleet. The president
would give preference to American coal
and ships if the price is no more than
80 per cent greater than foreign coal
or service, yet here is a case where
American coal is 100 per cent cheaper
than foreign coal and in free market,
and yet our tariff places a tax on for
eign coal ito keep the miners wages
up" while "By the Grace of God Baer
puts a lockout on the same miners to
keep the wages down because of over
production!
If a chronometer or compass fails to
work satisfactorily on one or all of the
ships, and the fleet paymaster goes to
dealer In Rio Janeiro for new one
and selects one of American make,
which he naturally would do to please
the navigating officer, and finds the
price of such instrument to be much
less than he would pay for 1t In Con-
gress street in the city Of Boston,
where it was made, he will have the
same cause to wonder at our ruinous
tariff laws that men have who see our
coal discharged in foreign market for
100 per cent less cost than foreign coal.
and yet find our cheap coal is pro-
tected by high tariff tax ostensibly
to keep I'D the miners wages, which
the corporate mine owners are deter
mined shall not be kept up at the cost
of their monthly dividends. These same
queer conditions obtain in the cases of
every rivet, bolt, nut or piece Of ma
aboard the ships, and even
cover the clothes the officers and men
wear. AS an educative object lesson in
the tariff crimes question this Waiter
sonian one is par excellence.
