A QUESTION OF HIGHER ETHICS.
Secretary Morrison of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor bu written
a letter to Secretary of Commerce and
Labor Xagel asking that there be a
federal investigation relating to the
wages paid by the Pressed Steel Car
company of McKees Rocks, Pa.
In his letter Secretary Morrison
states that the Pressed Steel Car
company has greatJy benefitted by th
protective tariff, that by this means
it is virtually able to impose a gigan
tic annual tax upon the American cor?
sumer; that farthermore this protect
ive tariff was obtained largely upon
the plea that it would "protect the
American workingman." This is not
the case, however, adds Mr. Morri
son, for the company pays its men a
miserable wage, a sum in no means
commensurate with the profits enjoy
ed by the stockholders of this pro
tected monopoly.
What Is there to sayT No one
seriously doubts the truth or Justice
of Mr. Morrison's contentions. But a
protective tariff for the "protection
of American labor," as our statesmen
love to say, is a sugar coated fiction
designed to fool the unsophisticated.
If the tariff is for the protection of
American laborers why do not the
McKees Rock mill men benefit?
The government will invesigate,
perhaps, but nothing will come of it.
The laborers, taking matters in their
own hands, strike, become disorderly
now and then, and are shot down by
the state militia, paid by the state
to protect "property."

higher ethics which will be worked
out some day ? perhaps.
THE SPANIARD.
It Is most exasperating to the hum
ble Spanish boor, to forsake his field
of onions to be butchered by a Moor.
Spain has got a dreaming monarch,
who has read the tales of old, when
his country's stately vessels from the
Indies brought the gold, when the
mighty Spanish legions raised the
flag on every shore, when the Philips
and the Alvaa waded ankle deep In
gore. He has dreamed that pomp and
glory to his country may return, that
the campfires of his armies o'er the
world again may burn, that the pres
tige of bis scepter and his crown may
be restored, and he'd write upon the
ages Spanish hist'ry with a sword.
So the peasants leave their onions,
*ith their harness on their backs,
to be butchered by the heathen, with
a rusty battle-ax. It's annoying to be
slaughtered when you've chores you
wish to do, it Is trying to be quart
ered by a fanatic Moorish crew, and
It's certainly unpleasant to have bul
let* !n your breast, that th : visions
of a kinglet be submitted to a test.

The righteous perlsheth, and no
man layeth It to heart: and the
merciful men are taken away, none
considering that the righteous Is tak
en away from the evil to come. ?

It was a peculiar brand of modesty
that permitted James Brown Scheuy
taule to offer gold medals for the
test Alaskan literature and then to
have one medal granted to himself.

yourselves by other men's documents
