Walker Tp. ” The Crown Point Register (republican) says of the nomination of John B. Peterson of that place for congress: "‘The Democrats are to be commended upon the wisdom shown in their choice.* Mr. Peterson, is undoubtedly the strongest man they could have selected. He has considerable ability as a speaker and a campaigner and as a far seeing politician has few equals in the state. He is a personal friend of Governor Marshall and -in many respects the characteristics of, the men are-similar.’’

And now several of the republican newspapers of the Tenth district have discovered that J. B. Peterson, democratic nominee for congress, is a “corporation lawyer” because he is generally employed in the lawsuits of the big firms doing business in .Lake county when they have a case in court. Well, as a well known local democrat remarked to The Democrat a day or two ago, “the corporations don’t generally employ a fool,” and if John B. Peterson is employed by the big companies doing business in Lake when they are in need of a lawyer, it is a compliment to his ability and no disparagement to his honesty. To say that a lawyer who defends a murderer must be in sympathy with mur-

der is as logical as to say that one who takes a case'’ from a corporation is in sympathy ’with corporation methods. There is not a lawyer t£e country but wougfr-like to take employment in the big lawsuits, but all do not possess the ability to get in on • them. The fact that only the [best lawyers are employed does 1 not signify that they are all ras;Cals- <•r that they are Owned by ‘ the corporations. They 7 take .employment from them, to be [sure, as a part of their business, [but from what we have heard of I John B Peterson we do not believe he is a man who ever tried to serve two clients, on opposite sides, at the same time, and if elected to displace E. D. Crumpacker he -will serve the interests of the whole people all the •time he is in congress.

The Republican says that the Brook Reporter has admitted thMt it lied when it recently stated that it had been informed, that the Republican had written letters to neighboring papers admonishing them to at least remain neutral in the bfige graft scadal in this county. Most people who read the Reporter’s reply to the Republican would scarcely take it as an, apology. The Reporter given its authority for the >tory as the -editor of the Goodland -Herald, and it looks as though it was now a question of veracity between the . Reporter man and the Herald man. So far as The Democrat is concerned it don’t give a rap whether the Republican did or did not attempt to secure backing in out-,-ide towns in its efforts to defeat the ends of justice and create a public sentiment against Prosecutor Longwell and his honest efforts to serve the people , rather than the politicians. But inview of the position the Republican has taken all through this bridge graft matter it would not be at all surprising if it had tried to get outside aid in bolstering up its weakness. The writer first heard this story at Kentland, a few days before it appeared in the Reporter, and at least two other Rensselaer people whose word is above question heard the story there, but not at the same time it was told to us.

The Conservation of Nature’s Resources

Applies as well to our physical state as to material things. C. J. Bud long, Washington, R. 1., realized his condition, and took warning before it was too late. He says: "1 suffered severely from kidney trouble, the disease being hereditary in our family. I have taken four bottles of Foley’s Kidney Remedy, and now consider myself thoroughly cured. This should be a warning to all not to neglect taking Foley’s Kidney Remedy until it is too late.” —A. F. Long.

WORSE THAI SLAVERY

Blast Furnace Men Work Seven Days a Week MONTH IN, MONTH OUT Brutalized Condition of Men Employed In the Steel Industry—“ Protection to Labor” Means Getting Rid of American Labor and Employing Underpaid Foreigners. The condition of labor existing at Ihe Bethlehem Steel works. .Pennsylvania. are "shocking. but they are no worse than rhe conditions which prevail throughout the Whole steel industry* . ' ' This is the statement of Dr. Charles P. Neill. United States commissioner of labor. Impulsive journalists and organized labor advocates have used similar statements before concerning ihe treatment meted out to employees of the steel trust, but these statements were thought to be exaggerated. Mr Neill’s official utterances will perhaps receive more credence.

Bethlehem is the scene of a great strike. Nine thousand men quit work 1 here recently because of intolerable conditions. The labor employed there is not organized. Organized labor has been banished from the steel industry, since great Homestead strike many years ago. The immediate cause of the present strike is the fact that a committee of the workers who had gone to Mr. Schwab demanding to be paid the usual rate of time and a half for overtime were discharged by him; Such are rhe arbitrary methods which prevail under the steel trust. The Bethlehem Steel company is only a branch of that organization. But about tbe condition of the workers. White the better grades of workmen work only ten and a half ‘hours a day and get a half holiday every Saturday. "it is perfectly true,” says Com missioner Neill, "that in some departments work for the entire seven days of the week, month in and month out. has been the practice throughout the entire steel industry.” Speaking about the labor employed in the blast furnaces, he goes on to say that—- " The annual report of the bureau of labor on wages and hours shows that in the blast furnaces, for example, eighty-four hours a week has been regular working time in every section of the country. This means practically a twelve hour day every day in the week." A large percentage of the men receive only 12’X> cents an hour. How, can American labor put up with such treatment? the reader may ask. The answer is that few American workmen do put up with it. The steel and iron Industry Is overrun with foreigners of the more submissive varieties. Lithuanians, Syrians. Poles and Roumanians being, it is said, preferred as employees. Emigrants direct from Ellis island are taken to Pittsburg to work at low wages, driving out American labor and reducing the standard of living of the workers to a level of squalor and wretchedness. The homes of the workers in Pittsburg were the subject of a minute Investigation a year ago by the charities publication committee. The result of that investigation did not receive one-twentieth of the publicity it deserved. If it did it would stagger humanity. It tells of human beings disfigured by incessant toil into shriveled up, soulless skeletons, of pestilential cellar habitations and of loathsome vaults and exposed privy sheds which defy description, of rookeries swarming with mixed families, huddled together under circumstances where neither sanitation nor decency is possible. These are the conditions under which the imported laborers who make the fortunes of our Pittsburg millionaires are compelled to live their squalid, wretched lives. And to think that all this is the bounteous result of putting a tariff on iron and steel for the, benefit of American labor! In carrying ouUour hypocritical policy we have' raised- up a gigantic monouoply which has enslaved labor and condemned it to a hell upon earth, fio’southern sla very was ever worse than the terrible degradation to which these foreign workers are subjected. What a heartrending note of woe there is in the following words uttered by a poor old homesick Pittsburg immigrant: "We might not have been able to live so well there: but. O man. we could have brought up the children in the fear of God and in a land where men reverence the Sabbath!" THOMAS SCANLON.

BLAME COLD STORAGE.

Benate Committee on Wrong Tack. It Mistakes the Effect For the Cause. The senate committee appointed to Inquire into the high cost of living would appear to be trying to‘make a scapegoat of cold storage. It has introduced a bill into congress placing limits upon the use of this method of preserving foodstuffs for sale. That shows bow far it is from-getting at the root of the.difficulty. Cold storage is in itself a beneficent Invention. Cold storage enables the Englishman and will soon enable the American to eat New Zealand mutton at a cheaper cost than American mutton. That is a legitimate use of the process. But in the hands of the greedy monopolists cold storage keeps back the food from the market and becomes a method of extorting money from the poor. That is an Illegitimate use of the orocees.

OUR TIN PLATE TARIFF.

What It Has Done Fof Great Brita-n and What It Has Failed to Do For Us—Two Million People Wronged In Order to Benefit Fifteen Thousand Lord Avebury, better known to Americans by his former name of Sir John Lubbock. said io a speech at Dundee not long ago: “We used.to hear great Complaints about the United States duty on tin plates, and the case is interesting and instructive, not to say amusing. It has been admirably told by Sir J. J. Jenkins (Lord Giantawe), who, knows the trade intimately. “As soon as the duty was suggested the price went up in the United States, and our manufacturers sent over large supplies, on which they made a mag nificent profit. When the tariff came into operation the trade, of course, fell off But the change proved disastrous to the American industries dependent on tin plates. The American fruit growers could no longer compete with those of Mexico. Canadian salmon could be canned much more cheaply, than that of the United States, so that if our tin plate manufacturers suffered In the United States their trade with other countries was increased "Eventually the outcry in the United States became irresistible, congress agreed to give a rebate of no. less than 99 per cent of the duty, and at present almost the whole of the canned goods exported from the United States are packed in Welsh tin plates. This rebate on the Welsh tin plates is more than the cost of the carriage and in surance. so that the result the American duties, therefore, is that Californian fruits are sold in London as cheap as or even cheaper than in San Francisco. I may add that the tin plate industry in America employed 15,000 people arid the canning industry 2,000,':i'0. so that the net result is to benefit 15,000 people- and to injure U. 000.000 and to give us cheap fruit and salmon." ' . , And now comes the New York Tribune. that great protectionist paper, backing up this story with circumstantial details. In a letter from its British correspondent published in its issue of May 1G it says: “Welshmen are not easily beaten when they are fighting for lifeblood. They have survived the McKinley tariff and several variants of it which have left the American home industry at an advantage over rival manufactures abroad. Swansea, instead of being ruined, has multiplied its foreign markets, enormously increased its product of tin plate, improved its process of manufacture, adapted itself to American requirements and prospered generally. “Tin plate is now shipped to thirtysix countries, Japan, China. Korea and Siam being among them, and the home consumption has been largely increased. Every improved process* employed in America has been adopted here. A thinner wash of tin is employed in the treatment of the steel plates, economies have been introduced in, the acid and palm oil baths, and a man and a boy with superior machinery accomplish the work which formerly employed seven pairs of hands.” More remarkable still, we are assured that America remains the best customer for Welsh tin plate notwithstanding the development of the American tin plate industry. Two things may be learned from the history of the. tin plate tariff—viz, the folly of meddling and muddling with natural trade conditions and the tonic effects of competition in helping a trade out of its difficulties.

My, What a Bump For Foss’ Opponent!

Lest We Forget. Do we work in order to live, or do we live in order to work? The an-, swer to this question lies at the bottom of the whole protectionist controversy. If work is what men are put on the earth for and if it is not a mere means of getting food, clothing and shelter, then the protectionist is right and the Bethlehem steel workers who work seven days in the week and have no time to bless themselves are ideal types of civilized humanity. But if work is only a means to an end and if men are entitled to procure their wants at the least amount of work that it will cost, then the protection doctrine is radically false and fatal. What is our whole system of division of labor for? To do away with needless work. Why is not every man today his own tailor, shoemaker and blacksmith? To do away with need 7 less work. Why don’t we grow our own oranges in greenhouses in New York state instead of importing them from Florida? To do away with needless work. We reverse ail this the moment we adopt protection. We are rolling stones up hills, we are carrying water in leaky buckets, we are lifting ourselves into the air by clutching at our boot straps, every time we manufacture an article in America that we can import cheaper from abroad.
