RISKS HIS OWN LIFE
TO SAVE COMPANIONS

ST. PAUL, June 3-Rather than
see three Of his fellow workmen blown
to atoms, Joha McGrothy, rs years
old, 47a Partridge street, proved him
self a hero today. He thrust his right
arm into huge flame and turned off
escaping gas.
AS a result he is now at Bethesda
hospital III "a serious condition. His
arm is almost burned to a crisp and
his side Is literally cooked.
McGrothy is employed at gas COM
pressing works at 566 East Third
street: Today he was working at \
bench when a gas stop on a nearby
wall fell to the floor. There was a
whizzing sound Of escaping gas. I'M

flame used for heating metal was

Quick as a flash he ran to the wall
and sticking his arm in the flame
turned off the gas by means Of a
safety cock.
His clothing became ignited and he
fell to the floor wrapped In flames.

moned. DR.. Robert Burns is attending

view point that would Immediately
make him do II all over again That
would be a double prosecution. and
such prosecutions are regarded by
most Americans as prosecutions.
The American people as class are
,eminently fair minded and~once they
think there has been an injustice done
a person or class of persons, they
are very prone in their enthusiasm for
making amends to the injured parties
to swing back as far In the opposite
direction as they have gone in the
new direction. For that reason we
fear that this proposed move of, the
grand jury would prove very harmful
and undo much good that already has
been accomplished in the way of law
enforcement; and make impossible
much more that could be accomplished
by the thoughtful co-operation #
fair-minded men on both sides of the
question.

At MERCY OF CAPITAL,

Organized capital twice changed the
contract for the payment Of the pub
lie debt due to it, to terms more fav-
orable. and suppressed a congressional!
resolution to investigate how it was
accomplished; it demonetized by
stealth a current coin of the Consti-
tuition and the Republic to the EN-
enhancement in value Of the vast VOL
ume of indebtedness due to 1t: il
usurped from congress and arrogatei
to itself the function Of "coining
money and regulating the value there
Of" and it is doubtful II congress shall
ever again reclaim from the banks It's
own sole and exclusive function; It
has placed upon the United States
statutes trust fixed tariff schedule by
means of which, after bringing under
Its control the output of all important
and formidable American manufacture
ers, 1t levies exaction at it's will with
out the menace of competition in tho

Under the wolf1sh and hypocritical
pretense Of wishing to reach tho
worlds markets where competition
must ever limit it's sales and profits. it
pockets it's greatest gains from the
people of the United States, Of whose
markets it holds a licensed monopoly.
What wonder, then, it is that Senator

the accumulation Of vast fortunes IN

WHAT'S THE USE?

BY B. J. Duggan.
What's the use, what's the use of the
ceaseless endeavor?
Why sacrifice lives in the service
grown gray?
Now tottering on towards grim deaths
shoreless river,
In the path they marked out in their
youths brighter day.
No lesson for them in the roll of the
ages,
The same old routine from their birth
to the grave;
Unheeded by them was the lore Of the
sages,
They fought against fate and fell I'm
der the glaive.
What's the use, why indulge in these
vain aspirations?
Why yearn for the things ye will never
attain?
Know We not that it's writ In the story
of nations
That nine out Of ten workers still will
remain;
Twas thus ever since the first dawn
Of creation,
And century rolling on. century has
found
The few with their power and wealth;
with elatton
The nose Of the many still keep to the
ground.
What's the use, then, of struggling for
ever and ever?
'Gainst custom, 'gainst habit, 'gainst
precedent all.
Why wear yourself out in the ceaseless
endeavor?
Why bleed in fight where you're
doomed but to fall?
It's true. 1t was said at our nations
beginning,
That "all were born equal"-twas Only
a phrase:
The Pharaohs and Caesars of ancient
dominion
Were puppets compared to the trusts
nowadays.
What's the use, then, Of fretting with
futile persistence
'Gainst a power as strong as the on
rushing sea,
'Gainst this barrier Of gold, whose
we'll tested resistance
Has proved but a shamble for thous-
ands like thee?
The unions you prate Of, loose-limbed
combinations,
Are hotbeds Of jealousy, ignorance,
stress;
Opposed are the brains and the wealth
Of the nation,

the press. ~

PROSECUTION, OR PERSECUTION
(which!

The tendency Of all reformers has
been to overdo. Ever since the world
has had a history there has been no
movement that made for the uplifting
and betterment Of humanity that has
not in It's early stages suffered more
from the misdirected zeal and bigotry
Of some of it's adherents than from
any Of the acts Of it's enemies.
Such we fear Is to be the fate Of
the Law Enforcement campaign here
in Duluth. The Labor World has
never taken the standpoint Of apollo
gist for the liquor interests. 1t is a
traffic that admittedly needs regula-
ton; and there have been times and
are yet times when the saloons per-
haps have disregarded the laws to an
extent that might justly bring down
upon their heads the stern condemna-
ton Of all thoughtful citizens, as we'll
as of the courts. Still we believe that
lately in their zeal for the reforms
they seek, a certain element in Duluth,
Is getting away from all sense of Jus
t1ce in their proposed treatment Of
vio1ators Of the laws governing the
sale Of intoxicating liquors.
Leaving aside the questions raised
by the closing laws, which questions
we do not admit are necessarily unde-
batable, we maintain that in the new
proposition advanced by the last
grand jury, there is a distinct injustice
involved. The saloons are business
enterprises, conducted In perhaps the
m jority Of cases in a business like
manner. They have paid for certain
privileges and the majority Of them
are perfectly willing to keep within
the law. When one does violate the
law the city has measures provided
for it's punishment, and the city auth
critics should see and have seen thu,
this punishment be melted out. When
the man who has paid the penalty for
his wrong doing gets all done with
that, we cannot see the justice Of the

PERMANENT CURRENCY NEEDED

The currency measure just passed by
congress is utterly wrong In principle
as any bill must be which merely pro-
vides an emergency currency. What
the country needs Is not a makeshift
legislative defornity, designed to help
out desperate situation, but a careful
revision and wise reformation of the
entire banking and currency system of
the United States whereby panics may
be prevented, or, If not prevented,
under which their violence may be
diminished and the evils consequent
greatly abated.
The earnestness and the deliberate
vehemence of that great banker of the
west, Mr.. James B. Forgan, who has
spent his life in the study and prac-
tical application of banking principles
in this country and abroad, when
asked by member of the banking and
currency committee if he "believed
there was need Of emergency currency
legislation at this time, should not be
overlooked. II do not was the re-
ply; land I do not think that a condi-
ton can ever exist in this country or
any other country that will warrant
the use or the issue Of anything that
could bear such an internal name -
emergency currencv'"
And yet, that is precisely the sort Of
bill that was put through congress
under whip and spur, without adequa e
consideration, with the least possible
opportunity for debate, without being
read even by single member Of the
side which assumed full responsibility
for It's enactment into law. The Re-
publican conferees themselves wer,:
not entirely familiar with the measure !;
there were some things omitted and
some which appeared that were in
/ scrutable to gentlemen who have
signed the report and asked the HOUSE
x to accept the bill, and If the conferees
Il do not know, how much less do those

moned to their seats in such haste as

WHAT TARIFF MEANS.

The tariff is tax or duty levied
upon articles imported into this coun-
try. Articles thus imported are taxed
according to the tariff schedules, and
this tax is first paid by the importer,
but the price of the articles is in
creased by the duty thus collected ard
the consumer ultimately pays the duty.
1t is tax, and whether levied for the
purpose Of revenue for the support Of
the government or for the sake of pro-
lection to favored manufacturers, it is
always tax paid by the people.
To the extent that tari1 Is for
revenue, the tax is levied upon the in,-
ported article and is ultimately paid
by the consumer, but the money paid
in the first instance by the importer
goes into the national treasury. To
the extent that the tariff is protection,
the tax is always paid upon the article
by the consumer and goes into the
pocket Of the protected producer. One
system Is legitimate taxation; the
other is taxation for special interest:
The people have right to complain
when the tariff schedules are arranged
to help the business and profit of IA
vored individuals and corporations.
The favors thus shown are at the ex-
pense Of all the people.
A tax is not source Of wealth or a
means Of development. The effect OF
a protective tariff is to unfairly distri-
butte the reward of labor, prevent its
natural diffusion, and concentrate It IN
the hands of few people. 1t is tax
levied by the government on all the
people for the benefit Of favored
few. The tariff necessarily increases
tho cost Of an imported article to the
consumer, and the schedules of the
Dingley bill are 50 high that in most
cases the price to the consumer Is
necessarily higher than the home
made article, with the natural result
that such articles are excluded from
our markets. BY such schedules the
foreign articles are excluded and the
home manufacturer has an absolute
monopoly Of the home market. For
eign competition being thus impos-
sible, the home manufacturers pool
their interests and agree on a price
just below the price at which the for
eigner must sell his goods after paying
the tariff tax and thus levy their ex-
actions upon the people.
The government receives no revenue,
the consumer pays the enhanced price
Of the home articles, and the manu-
facturers get the benefit of the en-
HANGED price. The consumer can not
get the goods lower than the price
agreed upon by the manufacturers.
The origin Of the name in a measure
throws light upon its operations. In
the very southermost point Of Spain
which juts down into the Straits Of
Gibraltar is located a town called Ia
rita, named for a Berber chief who
crossed over from Africa to reconnoite-
the country prior to its conquest by
the Moors. After the Moorish con-
quest a castle was located upon this
point which commanded the Strait,
and vessels passing out or into Medi-
terranean were stopped and forced to
pay duties upon their cargoes. From
this place the name passed into the
English language. 1t means today
what it did then, taking away.
