The daily papers of the larger cities
are publishing news of the opening of
manufacturing plants which were closed
during the panic and of thousands of
men being again put to work in factories
that had reduced their working force
While it is pleasant to record that
business is improving it does not pay to
force such improvement by misstate-
ments. The National Glass Budget,
published at Pittsburg lets the cat out
of the bag concerning the actual CON
featuring center when il editorially
says:
"Four months ago, when mills and
factories in and around Pittsburg were
closing down or curtailing production
daily and throwing into idleness thous-
ands of work men, local publishers lied
nobly, under the mistaken idea that
they knew it all and that the masses
were not cognizant of what was going
on around them. If an extra chore boy
was pat to work at one of our mills, the
addition was multiplied by 1000 and the
squirt industry had taken was announced
under glaring head lines, but not a word
phase of the s~ltuation-all of which was
commendable and a credit to the
trainers of public opinion, Readers of
the lies printed took their medicine in
silence, believing that healthy conditions
would speedily return and that with
their advent the big dailies would feel
warranted in emerging from the Ananias
class. Business has improved some
what: men thrown out of employment
last fall are slowly but surely being
called back to work again, but some of
the dailies have reversed themselves and
are harpilg on the calamity string in
such a manner as cannot fail to have a
bad effect on mercantile as we'll as in.
dustrial pursuits. One has ever gone so
far as to start a fund for the outof work,
with its accompanying front page of
calamity bowling daily, which will
doubtless cause labor to lose more money
hourly that the donation hunters will
be able to drum up in a week" Why
does the Associated Press and the ''big
dailies," which support republican
policies, try to deceive the people on
what is actually hapl ening? 1t is safe
to say as far as the Pittsburg papers are
concerned that they view the panic and
the present business depression as an
u~nanswerable argument against the
tariff which protects the steel trust and
other trusts. The trusts may succeed in
again becoming prosperous, but it will
be as before at the expense of the people
who pay high trust prices. Tariff
reform is the only way that prosperity
for the many can be brought about and
that is the issue that the organs of the
protected interests are trying to
obscure.
