Show THE PAGE TWO THE JOURNAL , Published ENGLAND PUBLISHING COMPANY & TRI-WEEKL- BLESSINGS (?) OF THE TARIFF Samuel M. Ralston; Democratic nominee for the Governorship of Indiana truly portrayed some of the incongruous inequalities of the Republican tariff system, when he said : notrrequired'to furnish figures to .show that the American manufacturer can compete with the world in putting his product on the market. He can do this so easily and with such a handsome profit to himself that we have in this country manufacturing concerns that dispose of all their output in foreign markets. Nor need I pause to remind the American consumer of the injustice the cruel ihjustice done him by the tariff beneficiary in selling the product of the American loom and factory abroad cheaper , , than he will sell it at home. ' There is scarcely a machine or tool, made in this country, used by an American farmer that is not sold in a foreign market cheaper than it is sold at home. The foreigner can purchase the American jewing machine for his wife cheaper than the American husband can buy the same machine for his wife. The . . father in a foreign "land can put an American shoe on his boy at 'a lower cost than the American father can put the same shoe on his boy. The foreign wage earner can fit up his home with American furniture, American , carpets, American queensware, American , cutlery and American utensils cheaper than the American wage earner can supply, his home with the same things. And yet the American consumer, the farmer and wage earner alike, through the operation of a high tariff, has long and patiently made his contribution to the home manufacturer to enable the latter to compete in the American market not the foreign but the American market with the foreign manufacturer. This the American consumer has heen'urged to do for more than forty years in the natae of," patriotism, but it has at last davued upon him that the patriotism demanding tribute . from all the people to .satisfy the greed of a few bf the people, is neither a safe guide for the individual nor the nation. We are told in eulogistic terms that , - among the adantages derived from a pro- tective tariff are an increased W8ge scale and prosperity for the American laborer. , !If this assurance be correct it is strange. that men like John Mitchejl have not made . the , . In discussing the American discovery. standard of wages in his book on organized labor, Mitchell says : The greater skill and effectiveness of workmen, the invention of machinery, tbe improvement and increased productiveness of manufacturing have all contributed to this result. But without the active intervention of trade unions the increase in wages, which has' marked the progress of American industry in the - nineteenth century, would not have taken place. Further on in the same book he uses this The wages of the working man language: are measured in the final instance, not by the mere amount of in, his will what that but money buy. envelope, by What a splendid opportunity 3gas here afforded this champion of labor iQr pay - a ' retribute to the protective policy the out blessings by pointing - publican party it brings to the homes of working then. But he did not attempt it. lie understood that to the extent the tariff increases the price of what the laborer consumes it decreases his wage scale. By no mehns then does it follow that high wages and prosperous workmen are found in the industrial centers most highly favored . ; by Ihe tariff. Not long ago Senator La Fol- - , lette 'pointed out to the senate that the tariff on woolen goods made the manufacturers thereof $100,0001,000 annually" in exeess of a reasonableprofit thereon and that through the tariff the manufacturers .of cotton goods netted annually more than $90,000,000 he- yond what is a reasonable profit. There is no lack, of ability, then, it is apparent, on the part of those engaged in these industries to pay their employes a liv- ing wage, plus something for the misfortunes of the future. The result of the recent in- - . vestigation of labor conditions at Lawrence, a woolen and cotton manufacturing ' Mass., center, is yet fresh in the public mind. We gather from statistics that 27 children under five years of age, die in every 100 . deaths. In Lawrence and some of the other labor centers, notable for their protected industries, the death rate among children of this age has been found to beas high as 47' in every 100 deaths. , The shroud and the hearse portray more engraphically the oppression and suffering in many of dured by the American family is posthan it centers our highest protected do. sible forr me to AUGUSTUS F.

HI does it become our local contemporary to prate of alleged ungentleraanly and disgusting things or of vile attacks made upon any persop, by The Journal. The Journal has never descended so low as to be disgusting, has giot tbeen ungentlemanly, and has never attacked any person except in the public interest. It has not emulated the sheet up the street in nasty, dirty little insinuations against , reputable persons, for personal reasons to gratify any petty malice. It has not sneered and jibed fit or held up to public ridicule,' any individual because its editor or proprietors may not have liked him personally and these things the Republican has persisted in almost unceasingly, until eyen amongst those who hold to the same political beliefs' and share the same interests, it numbers many of its most bitter enemies. So far has this been carried that it lacks character, dignity, standing, and the respect of those who through community of interest should be Its best friends and strongest supporters;- and those who have been maligned, n and sneered at, know exactly upon whom to place the blame. . 0 Vath man than that shown no love Greater a newsboy of Gary, Indiana, by 'William Rugh, who virtually laid down his life ; not for a friend, but for a stranger.

St. George. . - , - A 1 SUGAR-COATE- D PILL The Democratic house of Representatives, it will be recalled, passed a hill placing sugar on the free list. , It was estimated this would reduce the price approximately 2 Cents a pound. Another bill was passed , placing a slight tax on incomes in excess of $5,000. This would .have meant, in a lew words, a transfer of a small por-tio- n of the burden of taxation from the breakfast table to wealthy The corporation-controlle- d senate has objected 'to this program, and both bills died tvuh the session. The Democratic program substituting a lax on wealth for the tax cn sugar was class the standpatters and protectionists cried out ,in chorus. They werejiever heard to com plain; however, of tho , existing class legislation which permits the burden of federal taxation to fall entirely upon the shoulders of the masses, taxing the average man, woman and "hilj on every stifeh of clothing they wpar and everything ele they must have in order to liye, while permitting fortunes to go untaxed. The masses of the people produce the wealth, and by legislative advantage few get possession of it, and now those few object, and have prevented, the transfer to wealth of even the small amount of taxation derived from the tariff on sugar, which is .but one of morejhan 500 things on which the consumers pay a tax. They would prefer that.the government continue to tax sugar instead of wealth, because they sat no more sugar than the 'section hand On the railroad or the worker in the mill, and therefore under the present system of protec. tion are compelled to pay no greater tax to the federal government than does the poorest man. If a fiscal system' which requires a millionaire to pay no more tai to the national government than the section hand or is fair and just, there is no need of reform ; hut if such a. system is unjust, the free sugaf bills were moves in the right direction. The average citizen of this country eats 80 pounds of sugar a year. A saving of 2 cents pound would have meant $1.60 a person ayear, or a saving of $8 to a family' of five. . . Because of the v obstructionists f leg.s-latio- -- mill-work- er -- in the senate, however, this saving is not to he. The people must go on paying an artificial price for sugar so that the poor old sugar trust shall not want for dividends on its watered stock, while the millionaires need not hotheh about paying a single penny of taxation on their wealth for the' support of the government. Perhaps some day it will be 'different. But it will not be until a Democratic senate and president are' elected to with a house of representatives that is really trying to represent the will of the people of this country.
