COMING LABOR TROUBLES.

With the serious strike of the
switchmen in the Twin cities, and
with the formal declaration of war
on the Steel Trust wherever it has
factories over the United States,
there is every indication of unset
tied conditions in the labor market
during the next year. Our readers
are deeply interested in this, because
their main business is to supply lab
oring people with food. Where the
laborer has no money he cannot buy
During the last year, as for several
years past, there have been gradual
ly advancing prices, due to causes
which we have pointed out frequent
ly during the last two or three years,
and which are now being recognized
by financiers the world over. Our
dollar is decreasing in value through
overproduction. This enhances the
over. AS fast as the price of human
increases, the real wage decreases,
even the price per day, per month,
per year, remain unchanged. The
Steel Trust laborers complain that.
they have had no advance in wages.
In fact, the claim has been made
that there has been an actual de-
crease. If the cost of living adj
vances through causes beyond the
control of any man or set of men,
these men and their families must
necessarily sink to lower level of
living or fight for a higher wage. The
railroads are making a determined
effort to advance passenger and
freight rates, alleging an increase
in the cost of labor and every pro-
duct that enters into the construc-
ton, or the conduct of the railroad.
There is therefore danger that our
present apparent prosperity may re-
ceive sudden check, for the reason
that it is prosperity only to men in
whose business prices will rise as
fast as money depreciates, and it is
not real prosperity to people who are
living on fixed incomes, whether
from interest, dividends, salaries, or
wages. =
Notwithstanding the boosted re-
duction of the tariff, prices have
been advancing right along. This is
certainly not due to tariff reduction,
nor is it necessarily due to tariff adj
vances. Its main causes are the de-
probation in the value of the dollar,
the existence of combinations in all
most every business and in every
city in almost all lines to advance
prices, or if not, to maintain them.
Any arrest of the present apparent
prosperity in the United States
would be felt all over the world, as
was the panic of the fall of 1907,
from which we are just recovering.
The world is not so very big nova
days, and a conflict between labor
and capital in any of our big monop-
olies must be seriously felt even by
the children who have never heard
about trusts.-Wallace's Farmer.

Even Walter Wellman is scared.
In a Washington dispatch to the
Record-Herald, Mr.. Wellman says:
"What are the people of the great
west thinking and saying? What
is the attitude of the west toward
the present administration and the
leaders in congress? What is the
west going to do in the coming cam
paigns and elections? These are the
burning questions here at the ma
tional capital. Every man who comes
from the great heart of the country,
the seat of empire, is asked for re-
port. What has he heard? How do
the people feel? The answers are
alarming. They show that the re-
publican party as now managed is
fast losing the confidence of the peo-
pie. This is true not of the west
alone, but of the whole country. Dis
content is everywhere, but it is keen

1t is reported that DR.. Cook is in

At the recommendation of Presi-
dent Taft it is likely that the post
Office department will endeavor to
make such a,showing to congress as
to induce that body to greatly in
crease newspaper postage. 1t is
claimed that the effort is directed at
the illegitimate papers issued by mail
order houses primarily for advertis-
ing purposes. There should be no
excuse for the admission of papers
of that character to the second-class
mail privilege, but the fact no doubt
is that the officials whose duty it is
to examine and pass upon papers
seeking admission have had no news
paper experience and cannot dis
tinguish the spurious from the real.
There are plenty of newspapers men
in Iowa and in other states who are
able to spot a make-believe news
paper the moment they see it, A few
practical men of this sort in the
postoffice department would reform
the matter in short order-Red Oak
Sun.

Free iron ore, free coal and low
duties on all manufactures of iron
and steel
Free binding Irvine, cotton ties
and cotton bagging.
Material reductions in the cotton
schedules and in the tariff upon all
other necessaries of life, especially
upon articles sold abroad more
cheaply than at home, the aim being
to put the lowest duty on articles
of necessity and the highest on ar
ticles of luxury. Articles coming
into competition with trust-made
articles should be placed on the free
list.
No tariff rate should be above SO
per cent ad valorem, except upon
liquor and tobacco, and all rates
above % per cent, except those upon
liquor and tobacco, should be re-
duced one-twentieth each year until
Is per cent rate is reached, the
purpose being to reduce the tariff
gradually to revenue basis and
thereafter to collect tariff for reye-
nue. only.
This pla- form is presented tenta-
lively. Some democrats may not be
willing to endorse all the platform,
some may be willing to go even far
Their, but all who ask the support of
those who favor tariff reform ought
to be willing to state their position
and to state it so clearly that there
can be no question as to their atti-
tude.
The moment democrat begins to
talk about protection to local inter-
ests in his district or state he ceases
to be of any aid as tariff reformer,
because he will have to spend so
much time explaining why he is for
protection on few articles that he
will not have time to oppose pro-
lection on other articles. 1t might as
we'll be understood, the sooner the
better, that democratic protection is
not a bit superior to republican pro-
lection and that protection whether
democratic or republican, inevitably
invites bargaining, trading and cor
ruption.
The democratic party has thrown
away one-half it's chance of victory
by it's failure to stand unitedly
against every proposed increase and
in favor of every proposal decrease.
1t can, however, take advantage OF
the other half of its chance if its
candidates will deal honestly with
the public, and give assurance OF
fidelity to tariff reform.
If we can secure a democratic con-
gress and pass a measure providing
for substantial reductions we can en-
ter the next presidential campaign
with confidence. If, however, we Sc
cure bare majority in congress and
then our party is rent asunder by a
division on the tariff question, as the
republican party was divided over
the Aldrich bill, our prospects of
success in 1912 will be greatly re-
duced.

AN INsURGENT ON HIGH PRICES.

President Taft will have to find
some other reason for the increased
cost of living than. the increased out
put of the gold mines before he can
convince the western tariff insur-
gents 9.et the Aldrich tariff is qrAt
robbing the purchasers of highly
it was deliberately intended to do.
Senator Clapp, of Minnesota,
whose constituents are not protected
in any of the schedules, cannot be
convinced that tariff which adds
injury to insult by impudently rails
ing, beyond the limit of tolerance,
the import tax on such necessaries
as cotton and wooden goods does not
add to the annual expense account
of the average American family.
If the Aldrich tariff was not in
tended to accomplish this very result
there is no sense in it. The higher
duties do not go into the treasury of
the United States, because the aver
age American family cannot afford
to buy the better foreign goods after
they have paid the custom house tax
OF 100 per cent or more ad valorem.
The prohibitive custom house tax
only places it in the power of the
protected monopolist to charge the
consumer an unearned profit of half
or three-quarters of the amount of
the tax on the goods which he would
not buy if he were not coerced by a
congress which legislates in the in
terest of greed and avarice
Raise the price of mans coat, as
Senator Clapp puts it, and the man
must get more money from some
where to pay the difference, or go
coatless. If he is.a wage-earner he
wants more pay; if he is shop
keeper he want more profits. If he
is farmer, he must hold out for
the best prices he can exact for his
produce, or he will not have money
with which to meet the tax collector
after having paid his forced contri-
buttons to the benefciaries of AL
drich legislation.
The Aldrich-Taft-Ca tariff
cannot convince Iowa, Minnesota,
Kansas and Wisconsin that the tariff
monopolies have any divine right to
rob them simply because they are
just now enjoying an unusual degree
of prosperity. The tariff is still the
burning issue of the immediate
future.-St. Louis Republic.
