THE FARMERS FREE LIST
BY sAvoYARD.

The District of Columbia is a territory set down between Mary. land and Virginia. states that are pronouncedly democratic in political faith, and 80 per cent of their in
 habitants, who read newspapers, are of the democratic party. Washing ten. too. is a Southern city, and a
 majority of the newspaper readers of this town are democrats. And yet
 every daily paper published in the
 District of Columbia is republican
 in politics-the two leading ones,
 the Post and the Star, intensely so
 and the other two, the Herald and the Times, mildly so. In this com
 munity a democrat must wait to hear from New York or Philadelphia, Bal timore or Richmond, or Norfolk. be fore he can get political opinions to
 suit him.
 The following from the Washington Post is not only extreme in its repubiicanism, but it Is fanatic in its sectionalism:
 "The southern farmer never cried out against Canadian competition in the past nor has he joined his northern neighbor in opposing ths ratification of the reciprocity agree ment. Tine South was not in sym pathy with the imposing of high duty on Canadian products in the first place, for the two-fold reason that it derived no appreciable ben eft. and then it was contrary t6 tho democratic low-tariff policy. The Canadian tariff was just high enough to protect the Northern farmer and he alone could be affected ons
 way or the other by taking the tariff of.
 These things being true. why should manufactures used exclusive | iy in the South go on the farmers i free listg Does it profit the farm :ng community along the Canadian
 border for congress to take the tar l if off of cotton gins, cotton bag ging. gunny cloth. and all devices suitable for handling cotton, to l gether with other articles of manr fature never seen in that latitude The framers of the free list set uF the plea that they would remove the tariff on articles used especially by 1 the farmers in order to compensate
 them for any losses they might sui ! fer through reciprocity but hoy car
 they reconcile their words with theil
 deeds? Besides. as the South far
 mers and everybody-would share
 with the North any gain which migh'
 accrue from the adoption of the free
 list exclusive of the articles above
 mentioned. it would look as if the
 committee had deliberately gone oul
 of the way to give the Southern
 farmer all the Northern farmer geti i and untold millions more"
 Now, let me look at that Not fol

 every tariR it ever made was sectiona ! and the PAyne-Aldrieh monstrosity Il exceptionally co. The 'farmers' fres list" prepared by Mr. Underwoo<

takes a chunk of sectionalism out of the tariff. Now listen
 Binding twine, necessary to the wheat grower, is on the free lis.. Why? Because the wheat states are at the North and they vote the re- publican ticket. On the other hand, steel ties are as much of a necessity to the cotton planter as Binding twine to the wheat grower. But cot ton ties are not only taxed in the Payne monopoly, but tie tax is prac- tically prohibitory, made 50 to swell the millions of Andrew Carnegie and the other forty-eight millionaires that Carnegie boasts he made by means of the tariff on metals. Simple jus tice demands that the man who tills the soil of the South shall be put on an exact equality with the man who tills the soil at the North.
 Again there is a tarn of 15 cents a bushel, or 20 per cent ad valorem, on corn, and it yielded S34,352 rev enue in the fiscal year 1900. The corn states are at the North, and they vote republican. Cotton is on the free iist-that is, the cotton ir tue ONucl Ol B4ll Ntiy EfOns It, In 1909 we imported S0,01 ,0270 pounds of cotton in the bale, valued at s13,622,802, and there also came

But the cot ton states vote the democratic tick ct. Everybody, even the Washing | ton Post, knows that had cotton been exclusively grown at the North, there would have beer protection duty of at least 50 per cent laid on 1t.

Aldrich said to the South that he was as much in favor of protecting what was produced in that section as he i was inclined to protect the industries i of the North. What a pity it is that some of his Southern friends. who are so anxious to reach the tariff test, did not fling a 20 per cent duty OF raw cotton at him, just to see him take water.

 understood that 10 citizen of the South is eligible to the office of president or vice president. It is known of all men that of the bill l lions pSid ip pensions to Northern soldiers the South cheerfully contri-

 in this bill to give the cotton planter

 the bagging an absolute necessity to
 the other.

RESPONSIBILITY OF THE UNIONS.

OF THE UNIONS.
 The use of violence in labor dis putes is 50 much oftener alleged than proved that even the evidence .n the Los Angeles case should be submitted to a jury before the case is regarded as established. and meanwhile judgment should be heii in suspense. It is something gained that the spokesmen for labor feel the necessity for repudiating so shocking a crime, and yet there runs through all their outgivings a dis tinction between their personal and professional opinions which fairly brings home to the unions the spirit of the crime, If not it's perpetra- ton. Mir. McNamara professed to regard the dynamiting to death of a score of innocent persons as an act of anarchy. Secretary and treasurer McNamara is under arrest as the anarchist. Mir. Gompers's expres- sions afforded 6 similar contrast. He issued declaration that  organized labor stands for peace, industrial as well as international, -carping critics to the contrary, not vithstanding'" The toilers, he says are the great burden bearers of wars horrors, and peace is the poblest attribute of mans duty to man the world over. In promoting these noble sentiments Mir. Gompers the individual, meets with several obstacles placed in his path by Mir. Gompers, the union official In defer ence to the declared hostility of the unions he was unable to utter from a platform the sentiments which he now issues a manifesto. It was also in his official capacity that he denounced the arrest of the sus- pected dynamiters as kidnapping" the first act in a tragedy contem- plating the assassination of organ ized labor. It is the millions at the command of MT. McNamara's enc mics which will convict him. The Federation has aided his union in every way No union has been more bitterly attacked"
 In this utterance of Mir. Gompers the labor official. Mir. Gompers, the individual, is as much out of touch with the general sentiments of the community as with himself His voice Is for peace, but his policy is for war agains. whatever opposes the aims Of the union. There will be no response to his suggestion tha. millions will suffice to convict Mr. McNamara if innocent That would be q greater crime even than the Los Angeles explosion No greater  misfortune can happen to people than the prostitution of any instru- mentality of government to the uses of any faction, whether labor O. capital. Whether or not Mir. Nc Namara was kidnapped" he will not be convicted unless proved gull ty. Neither will there be any pre- sumption of complicity of the union which win not be held subject to proof. The case against the unions ts that whether or not they are guilty of s-ch acts they plead guilty of the spirit which inspires them.
 Take, for instance. the preamble of the constitution from which Presi- dent Gompers derives the powers which place his conduct in such contrast with fhe words of Mir. oompers the individual: Whereas | s,rsss,s is ssins on in sIi the m

tions of the world between the op- pressors and the oppressed of all countries. a struggle between the capitalist and the laborer." It Is this conception which is at the root o, the dynamitings and murders and arsons in the interest of labor. Rightly considered. neither labor nor capital is struggling against the other. but both are cooperating in the common interest against a de- ficiency of the good things of life. Even if the struggle Of capital for profit and the struggle of labor for wage, be selfish rather than in the interest of humanity. it Is not at bottom a struggle of one against the other, but rather of both against want It is labor which converts this struggle. whatever its character. into class struggle. rather than au economic struggle, by substitution oi opposition for co operation. Labcr does this although 1t is the chief
 gainer by the substitution of or ssnized for individualist production | The world could not supply itself

 basis of individual production. Ever sre crops could not be planted or

 excepted.
 The spirit of war in the preamble lof the Fcderation's constitution is reflected in its provisions. and in it's ipractice. Section 1 of article g en
 acts the duties of the executive council in cases of approved aud pending boycotts." And Presiden, Gompers Is in contempt of court
 for his procedure in one such boy eott. as to which he has admitted the charges as proved. and has reg istered his opinion that the coGr: procedure in his case is only less an infringement on liberty than in his allegations against the courrs which must try the issue in the case of his co-unIonist McManigle, who has confessed the complicity of the union in the murder of, he guesses. hundred or so human beings. AS individuals unionists sec the horrors of war. As a body they refuse to allow President Gompers to express his convictions as an in- dividual. As president of the Fed. eration he is unable to see the crime in the acts which the const!- tuition of his union contemplates The individual, the official. and ine union alike stand before the com munity responsible for the spirit which inspires such outrages. But the community will not lynch the unions, even in opinion. The CO., munity will hold its mind open ur- til the confession shall be told i2 court, together with the corroborat- lag evidence, if such there shall be The unions lack neither for re. sources nor for the talent for de fense. But If this country is to ex perience either peace or prosperity there must be an end to the spirit manifested in the unions constitlt- ton, and put in practice by it's of fcials. both on proof and on their confession without perception Of the enormity of their acts.-New York Times.
