Richmond Vs. Lawrence. Fortunately for Richmond no mills nor factories of highly protected special interests are located in this city. Richmond's manufacturing interests have always been engaged in clean, wholesome competition, have never had to lean on tariff props and have met success honestly, thereby making the citizens of Richmond prosperous and contented. And it is no surprise when leading manufacturers in Richmond join their voices in the chorus of approval of the Underwood bill which will bring the tariff schedules down to a normal basis It is significant that the screams of protest against the Underwood bill come for the most part from those tariff barons who have controlled the raw materials and have made millions through the stifling of competition, made possible through high protection.

While this manufacturing city has thrived because of the high plane on which the business of its manufacturing interests has been conducted it is interesting to note what condition Lawrence, Mass., has been brought to by the lords of cotton, wool and paper, whose products have been highly protected and whose great mills are located in that city. On this subject Mark Sullivan writes in Collier's Weekly as follows :

Just what the protective tariff has produced in America is typified in the city of Lawrence, Mass. At the time of the strike, one of the most thoughtful writers in America visited Lawrence and wrote for one of the magazines a description of the town, parts of which are here reproduced to show exactly what kind of community the high protective tariff produces. As I went among the tenements of Lawrence I was struck by the extraordinary absence of old men and old women. The mills want only strength and health and when they have skimmed the cream of youth from humanity, the remnant goes to the scrap heap with their half-used machinery. That is exactly what the high protective tariff has been doing for fifty years. First, it used up a generation of native youths ;

it kept the young women in the mills during the period when they might have borne children and raised them. The natives exhausted, the mills then drew upon the children of the German and Irish immigrants, the first American-born of those races. After the Germans and Irish were gone, the mill owners searched eastern Europe but here is the description : The presence of thirty nationalities struggling for labor in Lawrence has enabled the mill owners ... to pay the lowest possible wages. That is the idea ; it is easy to get a fresh supply, because the tariff in the past has meant protection for the product, but free trade in the most important of the raw materials, which is labor that is to say, human beings. They are able to play race against race. One of the bosses told me with some pride how he once threatened the Poles who were employed almost ex. clusively in one of his departments (for men with the same language and the same friends love to work together) with displacement by Italians If they did not do as he ordered. American workmen with American standards have disappeared from the textile Industry, and even the solid English and Scotch workers are now flying before the immigrants from southern Europe, who can, or will, attempt to exist on lower wages. There have been numerous feeble fights by working people to stem the tide there was a strike in 1895 against the "black people" (1. e., the dark people of southern Europe) who were crowding in. But against the mill owners and the great steamship companies which hare been eagerly inviting more and more of these people to come, such a feeble effort of the workers proved unavailing. Now consider Lawrence in its aspect as a living home for human beings :

For the workmen it meant the lowest possible standards of living. No man can support a family on $300 or $400 a year even though he lives m the meanest way. The result was that the wife also had to go Into the mills, followed by one child after another, as fast as they arrived at the legal age. It took the combined earnings of many members of the family to feed and clothe the family. This meant the break-up of all decent family life and all effort toward real civilized development. Some of the tenements of Lawrence are the

worst I ever saw. It is an undoubted fact that there I asked the ages of many young people stunted, not fully developed. ...

The result of all this Is a high death rate, especially from diseases resulting from exposure and poor sanitary conditions like pneumonia. Also the

young children die at an appalling rate

pauper burials in Lawrence in 1910 a higher rate in proportion to the population than that of New York City and among people where pauper burial is a lasting disgrace to the family.

smallpox has revelodped in the Coun ty Jail, making eight in all. MARTINSVILLE William Redwine is in jail, charged with the involuntary manslaughter of John Dawson. The men had a fight and Dawson received injuries which caused his death. EVANSVILLE Wholesale liquor dealers are suffering fro mthe application1 of the Webb law, which affects shipments into other states, notably Tennessee. It is said many small dealers will be forced out of business. TRAFALGAR C. B. Means, a clerk was found dead at an entrance to the store where he was employed. Heart disease is given as the cause. FORT WAYNE Dr. J. W. McKinney of Bluffton has been re-elected councilar of the Twelfth District Medical Society and Dr. W. E. Smith of Decatur, secretary. DANVILLE Isidor Wulfson, city sealer of Indianapolis, was awarded $1 damages against Julius Kaminskl.

Br -JAMES A. EDGERTON THE TROUBLE WITH MEXICO. An American traveler familiar with Mexican conditions recently stated that two-thirds of the people of our sister republic can neither read nor write and that one-half of the remaining one-third are really illiterate. In other words, only one-sixth of Mexico's 15,000,000 population are educated In any proper sense of the term. The statement makes plain the reason for the country's present mournful condition for the savagery, brutality, anarchy and all forms of lawlessness that afflict the land. Physically speaking, Mexico is one of the garden spots of the world. The scenery is beatftiful. the climate, especially in the high tablelands occupying most of the country. Is mild, and the soil is fertile. There are some of the best features of both the tropics and the temperate zones. In ancient times Mexico attracted the cream of all those living on the ! North American continent. While the present territory of the United States was covered with roving savages the Mexican Aztecs had a comparatively high state of civilization. In yet more ancient times there was a still mightier civilizalon, as recent excavations of the old ruins show. There were cities miles in extent and containing millions of people. When ancient Egypt flourished It Is probable that Mexico had a civilization but little behind that of the Nile valley the highest then existing on the earth. All of this but goes to show the desirability of the country from the standpoint of climate and physical characteristics. It seems Ideally fitted f to maintain a great, prosperous and cultured population. What a shame it Is that such an ideal climate should be Infested by mongrel races made up of 40 per cent Indians, 30 per cent greasers and the remainder mostly Spaniards, of a people more than two-thirds of whom are kept in absolute ignorance, who are a century behind the times and who are seemingly Incapable of maintaining a civilized government! It la more than a shame; it is a crime. The pitiful example should make Americans appreciate yet more keenly our splendid public school system, which, with a free press, constitutes the most powerful engine of democracy developed since the world began.
