The Elementary Principles

.UREGARDLEss of politics and almost without
IGexception, the press of the country, has con-
demned the brutal murders in Williamson county,
Illinois" says the Cheyenne Tribune
almost without exception newspapers, minis
tiers, representatives of other professions and bust
ness men generally, condemn violence resulting di-
rectly or indirectly from strikes.
Because of this fact it is not unusual for radical
leaders to criticize the press and others similarly
situated and charge them with being p~artisans of
capital or of employers. OF course that is an I'M
fair citicism-
"The position of the newspaper, for instance, is
a very natural one and it is in hormony with the
position of most lawabiding citizens or institutions.
The man who owns or manages a newspaper, learns
that there is no compulsion about his business. If
the individual is dissatisfied or can do better else
where he quits work and goes there. The publisher
knows that he cannot compel people to subscribe
for or read his paper. He knows that he cannot
compel advertisers to use his columns. He under
stands thoroughly that if the pay roll is not forth
coming, the employees will not work. He knows that
up to a certain point if his credit is good he may
be able to borrow money at the bank or purchase
material on time, but he knows also that if he does
not eventually pay his notes with interest or meet
his current bills he cannot get money at the bank
or material from manufacturers or others.
"He knows that he cannot combine with other
newspapers and force people to work for him if
they do not want to nor can he find any organiza-
ton that is able to compel people to read his paper,
bankers to loan him money, or slpf2y houses to
furnish material if he does not pay.
"In short, he finds that he must observe certain
rules, certain ethics and certain laws which govern
individuals and firms in their relation to one an
other and the public. These are well established
and SO in harmony with natural laws that he en-
poets nothing else.
Knowing that he cannot through persuasion or
argument or intimidation make his business sue
coed if the elements of success are not in it, or if he
is not wiling to work or willing to pay, he knows
further that he cannot take a club or a gun and
force some one to work for him or to read his paper
or to advertise in his columns, and he knows tina.
the same general rule applies to the merchant, who
has no method of compelling people to buy his goods
to the exclusion of the goods of some one else.
therefore, it is the most natural thing in the
world when labor, organized or unorganized, seeks
to do things outside the laws of society or nature.
or says the labor of this man shall be employed to
the exclusion of any other man, that such action
should be criticized.
"The business man may believe in organized la I
Dor, he may be an employer of unorganized labor,
but he knows that the union must play the game

A Sample of Foreign
Valuation

Under the present law imported
merchandise is appraised for duty at
the foreign value in the country from
which 1t is imported" states the
American Economist
at is we'll known that foreign u
rency is greatly deprecated. notably
the currency of Germany. Probably
most people fan to realize the extent
to which foreign market values have
been disturbed by this depreciation.
Not only have the market values of
foreign produces been unsettled. but
the wages of foreign workmen bear
no proportion to the wages paid In
those same countries before the war.
1t was for these reasons that the
