ID 213 It is no wonder that 5,000 men are now out at the "Old Homestead" works of Carnegie, Phipps A Ox and that many more thousands are on a strike in other iron mills. Reductions have been numerous during the last few years in this "protected" industry , but nerer before lias the .situation been as precarious as now, when wnges are reduced from to 40 per cent, and the life of the Amalgamated Association of Iron Workers k tlrtatened. The iron workers may make a determined fight for a few months, but they cannot hold out against the tariff-fostered millionaires, who need never again think of their mills or of the men starving there, but can spend their time in their European castles and parks. The republican administration here is now attempting to have this untoward event settled in some way until after election. It is possible that the barbed wire fence, the hot-water hose and the numerons other equipments Of these modern "protected castles'' may lie laid away until after election. Of coarse the workingmen will all feel grateful and vote for a president that can accomplish such results for them. WINDOW GLASS. The Market Pgarweil by Over Supplr. atl Aemrdtsa' ta MeKtalrjr I.ogie 'evs .Here l'rutTilB. The Oil, Paint ami Drug Reporter says the trade ia window glass thk season has been disappointing, "both as regards -votame of business and the retarns ia the way of profit to msnufsetnrers and jobbers." It thinks the market has been depressed because of over supply, and that the "cast iron agreement to maintain prices,n "has not had the desired effect, since American glass k selling to-day at as low if not lower figures than ever before." What thk industry needs k sufficient protection that is. as we are informed by the Minneapolis platform and by Maj. McKialey at the ratification meeting nt the Carnegie music hall, just enough protection to cover the difference in wages 'paid here and abroad. For the year ended June 9, 18f 1, we imported l,M3,4i worth of window glass, oa whieh the duty averaged M.&S per cent, or over f 1,499,009. The total wage cost of making this amount of glass here is about 1,WX),000. If thk duty covers the labor cost of producing glass here and in Europe the glass makers there must pay the producers a considerable sum for the privilege of making glass. As n box of glass imported at an invoice value of ?i 14 pays a duty of f'J.00 at our custom house, the foreigner who, according to McKlnlcy aad other equally reliable authorities, pays this tax, has just 14 cents left out of which to pay wages, interest, insurance ami all other expenses, making his profits out of what is left over. The Oil,-Paint and Drug Reporter has probably made a slight mistake in regard to the eause of the weakness of the window glass trust and its. inability to sustain prices. As our imports arc between 35 and 30 per cent of our total consumption it k certain that the price of American glass is as high as our 9 pet cant tariff will permit and that the price of window glass here is kept equal to the price abroad, after adding the duty. A question suggests itself here which, though puzzling to ordinary minds, could be easily disposed of by Major McKinley that k, who pays the increased cost, due to the tariff, on the 9 per cent of our window glass produ?ed at home? This increased cost to the consumer amounts to about tS per box, though the total cost of producing a brxr k only about 1.70. Doubtless the foreigner pays this extra cost in some way, though how he can afford to do so, ami just at what point between the American producer ami consumer he steps in ami voluntarily pays this duty, it k not easy for the untutored mind to understand. PROTECTION VS. CHEAPNESS. 8hi Kxtracta Fmm the Miring r irm ment rrntrctbHilAt. The protectionist is never so happy as when standing in the road of progress nnd science. The oae thing which more than all others characterises this centMryand makes it the most important in the history of mankind is the great progress that it has made in cheapening all kind of products. The sok objeet of all inventions, machines and methods k k cheapen the cost of production. Xo one would lie so foolish as to Invent a machine for the purnew of iaersjiig tneeostof nrodttetag

any article. Tike greater the Mtrinn; that ma bo ataoo in prodtttflnfr an article, the Hum vain will be nttaehad to the iHvewtloM. It k for thk mmm

pwrpte topwt cheaper product la thn hands of the rooswa&er that rnllroadn have been run all over the etvtlUmd all over the world, that canals hare been nag to shortea routes of transportation; mat telephones and tolegraphw ar made to connect all eommeeehvl eitka and souatries, and thai bank of exchange have been established ia nil parts of the world. In view of thk fact, reooga laod by all eeoaombita and scientist, how silly sounds the following twaddle on cheapness from owr leading protewtionkts atatemen: "I cannot Mad myself in full sympa thy with thk demand for cheaper costs, which seems to me necessarily to involve a cheaper man ami woman under the coats." Hnjumin Harrison, in an address at Chicago in 1$8. ""Cheap: I never liked the 'Cheap ami 'nasty' go together. word. This whole system of cheap things k a badgn of poverty, for cheap merchandisa means cheap men, ami cheap men mean a cheap country, and that is not tba kind our fathers Intilded. Furthermore, it is not the kind their sous mean to maintain.' William McKinley, October 14. li0. Hon. WarnerMHler nays all rich in New York are free traders, beeau&o they want tfieir money to go as far as possible.' Cheap prices. "They know their free trade will give them cheaper prices and therefore are in favor of it ISutthe working people of America, and 1 include all you businessmen in that phrase, do not want cheap prices. You want high prices. You hare no sympathy with the ideas of these rich men with fixed incomes aad yon vjte in favor of protection for American industries." Speech at the Ihisiuess Men's Republican association, March 15, 139. '-The attainmentof cheapness of com modities is not the best purpose of the protective system.' The Manufacturer. organ of the Pennsylvania Manufactur ers' club, October 1, lso. "Cheapness is the fetich of the Engglkhman. Let us then have done with this cheapness and with its advocacy." Harry Carey Ilaird, in Philadelphia, October 1, The cry for cheapness is un-Amer ican." Henry Cabot Lodge, October is, 1!HJ. New I'm for the World' Fair. The Single Tax club of Chicago 1ms sent a letterto George R. Davis, director general of the world's fair requesting that "on foreign exhibits of dutiable goods at the world's fair the selling price in the country from which the goods are exported, the transportation charges from point of origin to Chicago and the selling price in Chi cago be stated separately, so that visitors may be enlightened in reference to the influence of our present system of tariff taxation and find out who pays the duty." The director ireneral will undoubtedly comply with this request. as he on June notified the secretary of state that placards giving foreign and American prices would be permitted on foreign exhibits. Republicans will welcome this oppor tunity to demonstrate the fact that the tariff tax k paid by foreigners. If these placards will show that a box of window glass that sells for fS.W in Karope sells for f3.S9 here, after paying 98 duty, and that woolen cloths that sell for 50 cents per yard in England sell for no more here, after paying 62 cents duty, then McKinley will hyld some trump cards and his claim will be substantiated. If, however, they should show that duties are added to the foreign coat before Americans can,, possess tore gn-made goods, then the democrats would come to the front and MeKinley would have to take a back seat It is a pity that the fair does not occur before the presidential election. A FervM Statement r Hard Kwrt. The characterization of republican protection as a fraud is not an explosion of partisan wrath, but the fervid state ment of an incontrovertible fact. The principal pretext upon which it is de fended fully justines the characteriza tion. The county is asked to submit to the extortion for the reason that it increases the wages of American labor. That is the staple plea because it is presumed to be the most catching and appeals directly to the workingman's vote. The history of nearly every branch of protected labor since the pas sage of the McKinley bill gives the lie to that claim. There never was a time when American labor was so agitated by the wrongs inflicted upon it as it is to-dav. There. never was a time when dissatis faction with the rate of wages was so great, when strikes and lockouts were so frequent, when measures for selfdefense against the avarice and injus. tice of employers were so common aa they are at the present time. The workingman knows now if lie did not know in l&SS that republican protection is a fraud; that it harms instead of helping him; that it promotes the aggrandizement of the few through the impoverishment of the many, and that democracy offers him the only nope 01 ueuvery I mm his bondage. Brooklyn Eagle, July 1, 1WI KMsg WrM shI 1'mIIIhk Prices." The American Economist, the lending high tariff organ, of April 15, im, gives the following lucid explanation of how manufacturers can exist in the face of "rising wages and falling prices": "The condition which exists all around us that of rising wages and falling profits-is not an anomalous one, but is the natural and logical result of the home competition started into being by the protective tariff, which guanls alike the interests of manufacturer, laborer and consumer of the first, by Increasing his total earnings; of the weond, by raking the wages received for his work, ami of the last, by reducing the prices of the article h buys." Such logical deductions as this ought to please the most fastidious manufacturer. Carnegie's ' 4,000 men can improve their time thinking about It while they are standing klla just out of the reach of the hot-water hose attached to their "Old Howes toad works.

A Trao Ptotare of Nis tt the West. muaJaaj aaassaaa w 111 oof ma Thk world abouinls with a certain class of writers ami speakers who never heem to tke of ailvktag tlwir audkneo and tlie pblki In general to keep as near as possible to nature ami natural conditions. Whether it is the complexion, the diet, the resklence or the fashion in dress, it seems to make no differface nature k their hobby. They sever particularise, never tell why Miy would do thus and so, except on general principles. They never argue, but only assert and denounce, waxing angry and sometimes abusive if called upon to show cause for their state ments. They declare that the men and women of the present day are living under artificial conditions; that hypocrky and show arc running nway with our better judgment, nnd that the lnwt thing we can do k to return to a more simple fashion of living, and return to more natural conditions. Now this might lie all very well if the programs of the world had not Ihsch, for so many hundreds of years, In a Una gradually diverging from the natural conditions so much prated about, or, in many instances, in a direction diametrically opposite. There are few tasks as hopeless as the attempt either to reform or direct the course of events, and he must indeed be of a strong will ami high courage who feels able to undertake it , And the reformer, especially tlie one who ia always trying to bring hk friends closer to nature, is ntmo.t always a tiresome iiidtvhinal. He isipiite certain to attack one's latest fa I. or to begin one of his diatribes on the o5i-s of fashion nnd the extravagance of modern life just when you have fancied Jthat he had taken mental note of your new drnwing-robm furniture or had come in from a drive in the ktest style of litfht road-wagon. Or he opens RrC just after one of your best dinners, and hk discourse is on dyspepsia nnd how injurious modern, or artistic, cookery k to the human family; and he persists until you heartily wish that hs weMid go OHt and est grass, and nnd himself so completely occupied with getting the nutriment from it that he couldn't open hk mouth to say a word. To these malcontents a well-dressed woman suggests vanity, folly and all things frivolous; ami well is it if there be not a shake of the head and a significant grimace and shrug of tlie shoulders, which mean much more. A fine complexion suggests paint and powder, a good figure is the signal for a lecture on corsets, with the eternal "return to nature for n pivotal idea. And the most remarkable pa't of all of the reformer's theory ami practice k that be will never follow hk own adrice, no one ever Knew hi in to refuse to eat a dinner liecause it was prepared by a chef, or to decline an invitation to drive because the carriage was of the newest pattern. or to object to enjoying any of the good things of life because they were modern. bo we may as well conclude that the greater part of the would-be reformer's talk k but kite breath spent, because he loves the sound of his own voice, and not liecause he has either the courage of his own convictions or a sincere desire to make the world, his associates or himself any better liecause he has lived and lectured and found fault with the existing state of things.- N. Y. Ledger. w Yerk ttlrls All Allkr. A recent visitor from the west, mak ing a sojourn in New York, was heard to remark that while he thought the women were especially .stylish ami attractive, they made little or no impres sion on him because he found them all so much alike. He had gone out a good deal in a very "good set," nnd met any number of pretty girls, all dressed to perfection, all very nice, nil very well mannered, but all as much alike as so many healthy bsldcs. One of these charmers would undoubtedly have captivated him, but when he found that to know one was to know all their attractions lost favor. Commer cial Advertiser. The Shock tf a CaaHnn. During the recent trial trip of the British cruiser Heowulf experiments were made for the purpose of determining the shock of the air at the mouth of a gun at the moment of firing. Rabbits were placed near the muzzles of the guns ami shots fired. In every case the anb man fell dead at once. In order to test the probable effects of the enormous displacements of air upon human beings figures made of straw were used. 1 hese were torn to pieces la every Instance. The trials were made with long-laired 34-ccntimcter ring guns. Pittsburgh Dispatch.
