that such q colossal fallacy as pro

Our educated and intelligent Ameri-
can voters. About every one of the
present day grievances of the man in
the street" can be traced directly to
the tariff law.
Americans bitterly complain just
now because the labor market is
crowded with cheap European emil
grant labor, causing great reduction
of wages and scarcity of employment,
Well, it ought to be very apparent
that if the European cannot send his
goods to this country he will come
himself, which is a great deal worse
for the American mcdaniel
Better let the foreign goods in and
then in return we Can use their mar
kets for our products. This means re-
vival of our ancient maritime glory
also. Our present system simply
means oppression for the great ma

GUNS AND MURDERS

Editor Herald: Some "gun" dealers
and cowardly gun" carriers would
have us believe that stones would be
used as instruments in case the gun
was abolished.
Out of 10000 murders committed in
free America last year to 500 in Eng
land and the same number in Ger
many, how many of them were done
with stones, or with knives, either,
pray tell us? Some boys go almost
wild over a gun. The first thing they
think of if you cross them is: Il viii
get a gun and kill you Their mlnd
becomes poisoned by hearing older boys
or men talk about using the. gun, and
here of late by seeing so much of the
gun play in moving picture shows, and
it finally results sooner or later in
their growing "daffy" and actually
shooting some one in a "brainstorm."
c. T. Coverton says: There must
be other prohibition besides liquor in
order to do away with the crime m
crease. Yes; but the gun and the de-
sire to use 1t and with the liquor to
stimulate the nerve 60 to so PER cent
more murders are committed than
would be without the two.
If foreign immigration were prohlp-
tied for a few years, especially or the
criminal class, you would see a large
falling off in crime In this country.
Our American laborers, who are hlgh
snirited and used to good wages, be-
come desperate when they must com
pete with some of the pauper labor
coming in. and become criminals.
