when African slavery was Id exist

when African slavery was ii exist

At McKeesport at the present mo-
ment, we have . sample Of the crini-
nalitY fostered BY the protective
tariff. Notwithstanding the enor-
nous protection given to iron and
steel and the swollen fortunes reaped
by the Steel Trust, the wages Of
labor have been forced down until
the American labor, being unable TO
live upon the wages paid, has been
driven from the factories and mines
and its place is being filled by igno-
rant imported Stavs and Poles.
And practically the same thing is
true with regard to all Of the great
protected industries of the country
which are controlled by corporations.
The minimum ii wages, the maximum
of work and regulations which make
a practical slave of the laborer, is
the rule. The talk about the bless
ings Of d protective tariff, sounds in
ane considering the most eminent
sociologists il the world are deplor-
ing the demoralizing and degrading
conditions Of factory life. the long
hours, the ~tYrannous system Of fines,
the practical serfdom of il all, as
compared with conditions that exist
in occupations, such as agriculture
for instance, which do not receive
the advantages of a high protective
tariff.
These things speak eloquently Of
the fact that under very few, if any,
conditions do the masses enjoy any
benefit from q protective tariff. The
constituents whom those gentIe-
men at Washington represent when
they vote for protection, are the
exclusive c~apitalistie classes, for they
are the ones who are benefited by a
protective tariff. TO fke wage earn
Ell, protection means simply oppres-
sion and tYrannical injustice.

TEE LESSON OF FATHER
HOLTGREVE.

Father Holtgreve, a Catholic priest
priest of the church of that domination
at Plaquemine, La, q few years age
stood high among the priesthood anG
layhood Of this State.
He was considered bright, pious.
upright true minister Of the COS
pei, d true discipline Of the teachings
Of the Meek Nazerine.
He went into politics. He left the
holy portals Of his church 10 mix in
the affairs Of the State; he went out
to force men to be good and Cody,
not by preaching to them the Word,
not BY s%upplication, not BY pointing
the way to righteousness-but by
force, by threats,
He left the path Of duty, the path
Of God, and put on the shield and
helmet Of common battle.
He discarded his priestly robes for
those Of the politician and the worldly
man.
He has fallen. He lies in a prison
cell in New Orleans, charged with
numerous crimes, some of them UNI
printable,
He is charged with SANDER, defam-
alton Of character-in all thirty-one
counts.
Such is the story Of the downfall
Of a once good man, a man Of God,
calculated to do good on earth, but
who forgot his calling, who forgot
that the duty Of priest or preacher is
with his flock, and who by good ex-
example and showing Of the path of
righteousness exerts himself to bring
more to the ranks Of that flock and
to the kingdom of God.
The place Of priest and preacher
is in church. When he mixes with
outside affairs he is an intermeddler,
untrue to his calling. The frocked
and busy body accomplish
es nothing for the church, nothing
for the salvation Of souls.
He is a misft.
