FARMER WANTS A CONSUMING ptn,Ic

ference that the only help for present conditions is
found in lowering Of wages and prices that are out Of
line with the general level reduction Of taxes including
the tariff, thereby helping the farmer TO get what ne
wants at lower cost"
Reduction Of the tariff, ndeedl We are now operating
under the Wson-Undewood tariff law Of 1918 except so
far the emergency agricultural tariff law raised the
Democratic rates.
Imports Of foreign goods increasing from month to
month II we are to comply with the demand OF the
Journal Of Commerce for a lowering OF the tariff in
stead Of increasing accordance with nationwide de-
mand then shall import still and buy less from
our producers.
we buy less from producers. we must dis
many employees, cut down payros and add to the
army OF the unemployed
How is the American farmer to find any relief from
present predcament by diminishing the number Of peo-
pie who can buy his products?
The great trouble with the farmers Is that they are
holding surplus What they want is consuming pub
lilo with more capacity to buy What shall it profit ths

PACK THE HOISE.

TTWERE exists in West Eighth street. this city, The
Il Blind Shop It IS maintained by the Delaware Com
mission for the Blind, Its function is to provide work
for sightess men and women Being totally blind they
might with perfect propriety, throw themselves upon
the charity Of the public Their PRIDE however will not
permit them to do that They prefer to win their own
bread To them life OF independence is preferable to
Of dependence That spirit is greatly to their credit
And so, day in and day out, they work at making
brooms Gaming chairs, weaving rugs and doing other
things to honest dollar Surely the people Of
city and State ought 10 view such independence and
work with admiration
In recent years has been the practice Of those blind
workers TO hold annual concert in which the per-
formers have been blind musicians The concert this
year will be held in The Playhouse on the evening Of
February 49, The proceeds from the sale OF the tickets
will be used to assist financing the operations OF the
Blind shop and making that praseworthy institution
more efficient It will be concert by the blind, for the
benefit Of the blind and those who have their eyesigh
should pack the house and make the function social and

lie which must pay for It. And as
consequence of the Inactivity in the
building and similar industries 1t
is largely the trouble with the steel
industry, the copper industry, even
the railroads.
The other Way in which unem-
pioypent is made by the workers in
America is their propensity TO go
on strike at times when their com
mon sense ought to tell them they
can be dispensed with. certainly
temporarily and possibly perma-
nently.
Tens Of thousands of workers in
the packing industry have been on
strike for two months against wage
readjustments agreed to by their
own representatives. Now they want
to go back to their old jobs on the
agreed terms they repudiated two
months ago. But their places are
generally filed. The majority Of the
strikers cannot go back now on any
terms. The packing houses have
been operating without them and
will be able to operate without
them.
1t was the same here in New
York with the milk drivers. They
we're soon and utterly defeated in
their strike for wage increases, but
they could not get their places
back.
1t was so in Kansas, where union
miners who had been called out by
Howat. their president, would not
go back to work when ordered back
by their international union, would
not go back even when ordered
back by Howat himself. Now they
are asking for their old places, but
they cannot get them. The Jobs arc
filed the Kansas mines have all
the men they can use in supplying
their coal markets and they will
not turn off the men who went to
work when the strikers quit.
All over the country there is the
same story to tell, whether as to
stevedores and marine workers on
the Atlantic and Pacific seaboards,
or mill workers in New England,
or building trade workers in Chi
oago.

Compers on Unemployment
(Fr0m the New York HeraIdl.

Samuel Gompers and The New
York Herald are in accord as to the
undesirability Of establishing unem-
ployment insurance in this country.
His reason for opposing such a sys-
tenn is entirely different from ours.
The objection We see to unemploy-
ment Insurance and the objection
governments which have tried the
system see to 1t is that It puts a
premium on thrlftlessness among
too many persons who do not give
enough thought as it is, to putting
something by for a rainy day or old
age. And when you put "A premium
on thriftlessness. among human be
ings you promote Indifference on
their part as to whether they have
employment or not. so long as un-
employment insurance or other
schemes enable them to get along in
some fashion.
The objection Gompers sees to
such insurance is that It recognizes
bunemployment as permanent in
estitution, whereas he declares that
unemployment is controllable and
that there should be no such thing.
He goes so far in fact as to charge
that unemployment is hand made"
by employers. What he means by
this is that either capital curtails
production TO enable It to make a
! high prices for a low supply or that
capital seeks opportunities to re-
duce wage scales by shutting down
plants and throwing labor out OF
work.
But by far the greater part OF
unemployment in this rapidly grow
! ing and big building country always
has been the doings of the workers
! themselves in either one OF two
ways. one of these ways is. wher
they insist, as in the present de.
preston. upon wages and workinl
conditions that an industry cannot
grant and continue to do business
This is the trouble today in the Goa
districts, in the building trades anc
in other fields where hundreds oi
thousands are unemployed simply
because It costs more to do the worl
than that work is worth to the pub
