FOR Lower PRICES
Give Americans the Same Terms

NO NEED TO SHUT FACTORIES

Leading JeweIry Firm Makes Extraor-
binary Offer to Waltham Watch Peo-
pie-He Tells Them IL They'll Aban-
don Trust Methods and Give Him
Their Foreign Rates He'll Buy All
They Can Make For Several Months.
We hear now and again that some
Of our factories are shutting down.
that thousands Of men are thrown idle
and that overproduction is the cause
What does this overproduction mean?
Does it mean that there is not enough
demand in the country to keep the
factories going? No; it only means
that there is not demand enough at
the existing high prices. II the man.
.ufacturers would reduce their prices,
say, to the level at which they sell the
same goods abroad there would be
plenty Of demand and the workers
might still be kept busy. Every pinch
ed and poverty stricken family in the
land is possible purchaser Of these
goods. High prices are the barrier.
Here is one example which is as
good as a thousand. The Waltham
watch factory has been shut down re-
Gently. Dizziness of trade is given as
the reason, dizziness Of trade In spite
Of the tariff OF 40 per cent on watches!
Clearly foreign competition is not to
blame here. If trade is dull it is not
because people don't want to wear
watches. 1t Is because they cannot
afford to buy them at the high prices
charged. Reduce those prices by one
third and trade will be brisk as usual.
Can the manufacturers afford to do
this? They can. They do it for the
foreigner and what they can do for
the foreigner they can surely do for
the American, and. what is more. he
ought to see that they do it. ii adf ~
Here Is letter written to the mayor
Of Waltham. Mass. by one Of the best
known retail watch dealers In the
country, Offering to buy for cash all
the watches that the Waltham people
can make for several months to come
If they will give him the same terms
as they give the foreigner:
4eNySrA $40 --. March 26. 1870
The Waltham watch factory Is closed
today. -Four thousand men are Idle. The
papers say overproduction is the cause.
II you and the citizens Of Waltham will
induce the officers OF the Waltham Watch
company to do away with their trust
methods. including their conditions OF
sale" and sell their watches In this coun-
try to American jewellers a. the same

FOREIGN CHEAP LABOR.

Protection. Uses itte Supplant Ameri-
.5,.,j. ean.shishsr Priced Labor.
The cry Of Protect the American
workman against the foreigner has
helped the protectionist party to get
many votes. ..,.,. ,s..+
"A more deceitful or absurd party
cry was never invented.
Our protected industries employ
mostly foreigners-right from the ship
in many cases-so that It is the for
eigner who gets the protection such
as it Is.
The workmen who have replaced the
organized labor which was driven
from the Carnegie mills at the time Of
the Homestead riots many years ago
are not Americans, but Poles, Slovaks.
Lithuaniaus, Roumanians. Cr0atians,
Bohemians and other European races,
who are content with inferior wages
and an inferior standard Of comfort.
The workpeople who fill the factories
Of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New
Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania
are largely foreign born, and they are
there because they undersell Ameri-
can labor.
According to the census Of 1900, Mas
sachusetts had $4,000 foreign born
people. Rhode Island $4,000. New Jer-
sey $1,000, New York 100000 and
Pennsylvania $4,000. The foreign
born population of these states and
their children comprise majority Of
the whole population, except In the
case Of Pennsylvania. These foreign
ers work for q dollar day In the
mills and factories. and the native
American element seeks more lucrative
employment
The foreign pauper laborer IL here.
He comes with protection.

Last week the r. Democrat secured
some news from the police court of the
city of Mineral Point 1t was briefly
told: A young man was arraigned on
the charge of being drunk and disorder
ly. He pleaded guilty, and was SEN
fenced to pay a fine of $500 and costs.
& We are not publishing the young
mans name; although we might do SO
without fear. He is poor and without
great influence; and he don't live in
our ward. But we don't think that it
has ever yet appeared in print; and it
would be too bad to have such notoriety
accompany it upon it's first publication.
1t is a good name, however, and rela-
tive after whom this young offender
was named holds very exalted public
official station and is making for him
self good name throughout the nation.
Upon being questioned by the court
the defendant gave his age as>21 years
Only few months ago the father of
this young man came into the Democrat
office, in a pitiful nervous condition,
and asked to be put on the blacklist.
He found it impossible to resist the
temptation to drink. 49,
This is a sad case. But don't jump at
the conclusion that the old mans con-
dition is hopeless because of fixed
habit; nor that the young mans condi-
ton is hopeless because OF heredity.
Older men than the father have reform
ed and lived soberly; and time and
again have sons Of such father grown
up into sober, useful citizens.
The Democrat is not publishing this
article to advocate prohibition, no Ii
cense, or any other plan of dealing with
liquor traffic. It is a hard problem to
solve. But we do know that the use of
strong drink is degrading. It creates
ts.Nl S.
thirst that is often irresistible. There
are SO many evidences on every hand of
degradation through the drink habit
that those who call themselves moder-
ate drinkers ought to stop and think.
If they will only totally abstain long
enough they will lose faith in their pet
theory that the harm Of liquor is not in
it's use but in its abuse 49, -
To return to the case of the father
and son above mentioned. No man
should set before them, strong drink in
any form, nor for any consideration. J.
! The conservation of national resour-
ces, scientific > framing, and improved
methods in animal husbandry all tend
to }, bring great material blessings; but
the one thing that is needed issthe con-.
seryation: of the. 'eominga generatioh,-
the real uplifting ofhu1aanity. '7"4

Niaoara Falls.

To the question How old are the
Niagara falls?" biologists have return
ed replies varying by tens Of thousands
Of years. At first 1t was estimated
that the Niagara river came into exist
ence through changes In the level Of
the land around the great lakes about
$1,000 years ago. Later this was re-
duced to only 1900 years. Lyell In
creased the estimate again TO $1,000
years, and still later other scientists
lowered 1t to about 1900 years. At
one period, many thousands Of years
ago, the height Of the falls was 400
feet. 5s5te8s 81 ,I#T
