humdrum industry and thrift. Of
course, we want to see the country
prosper and hear it hum with prog

at least a little of the picturesque, the

historical documents and records, it is
believed that Pike's papers are still

NO NEED OF HASTE
WHAT SECRETARY SHAW UAID
OF TARIFF REVISION.
Matter Will Rest Until the Comfort
and Happiness of the People
Require a Change.
The La Crosse Leader says:"The
Republicans of the west agree with
Senator Shaw that the tariff should
he revised by its friends. They are
also in favor of getting busy."
With the report from the bureau of
statistics of the department of com
merce and labor showing the com
merce of the United States, both as
to exports and imports, exceeding that
of any previous year in the history of
the country; with prosperity at flood
tide; with every industry working full
time or overtime and two jobs or
more for every man wanting a job,
the argument that any industry in
this country is suffering at the hands
of the Dingley tariff is pure rot. Un
der the protective tariff the country
has enjoyed a greater measure of
prosperity than at any previous pe
riod in its history; in a word, it owes
all the prosperity it ever derived from
the Republican policies. If on the day
of the enactment of the Dingley stat
ute some enthusiastic friend of pro
tection had predicted on the floor of
congress or elsewhere that in less
than a decade under the operation of
that law the United States would be
come the greatest export nation in
the world, and that the total volume
of our imports and exports would ex
ceed $2,500,000,000 annually he would
have been regarded as a dreamer or
lunatic, and yet for the year ending
the present month the total foreign
commerce of this country will ap
proximate three billions of dollars in
value, beating all records. The Ding
ley tariff isn't anything to injure the
country in the light of things visible.
The country has never been so rich
and prosperous as it is to-day.
We have had one experience with
tariff revision. Grover Cleveland was
elected on a free trade or tariff re
vision platform. The tariff was re
vised, and it brought on the most dis
astrous financial and industrial de
pression the world has ever wit
nessed, costing the people of the
United States inore than twelve bil
lions of dollars, filling the country
with want and woo. with millions
idle and begging fc; work or bread.
Has any one ever witnessed an army
of industrious, honest and hungry men
marching to Washington to demand
work under a Republican administra
tion? There are some people in this
country who know when they have
enough, and a whole lot of them don't
want any more experience with Dem
ocratic tariff panics.
There is no occasion, with the busi
ness and industries of the United
States at the high tide of activity aud
prosperity, for tariff tinkering. It
would disturb existing conditions in
evitably. The millions of people who
are now contented and happy because
they are receiving liberal wages and
steady employment would not relish
a return to idleness and poverty.
The American people are better
clothed, better housed, have more of
the comforts and luxuries of life
now than they ever before enjoyed.
They believe in letting well enough
alone.
It will be time to revise the tariff
when conditions demand it and when
the comfort and happiness of the peo
ple are dependent upon it. And Sec
retary Shaw, for his part, says the
time will not come until after the
next presidential election. That is
all. He does not declare that it will
be necessary to'revise the tariff then,
for he is not a prophet, and cannot
know what conditions will be at that
time. What Secretary Shaw does
say is that when the time comes to
revise the tariff all good Republicans
will be found in favor of revision,
and the work will be done just as
faithfully and intelligently as the
party discharged its obligation to the
country in framing the Dingley law.—
Bay City Tribune.
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 9, 1906.
< NOT A UNIVERSAL DEMAND
Statement That Western Republicans
Ara Clamoring fjr TariH .Rd»
form la Incorrect.
A fe»v Republican and many Demo
cratic correspondents at Washington
are telling their papers that the Re
publican party will suffer in the west
in the congressional election of 190(1
on account of its attitude on the tar
iff and on meat inspection. They
say there is a powerful sentiment in
lowa, Wisconsin, Illinois and othei
western states in favor of a revision
of the tariff and as the Republicar
party of the nation is opposed to tar
iff changes of any sort at this time
they reason that the paty will los<
votes throughout all the region
j Meat inspection, they declare, ii
; dealing a heavy blow to the cattk
j and hog raisers, and, as the Republic
an congress and the Republican ad
ministration pushed a measure t'oi
meat inspection, the Republicans ar<
sure to be hit hard in all the west
i ern slates in the contest of 1900.
These prophets are astray.
tariff revision sentiment which they
| imagine they see in the west is con
! lined to a very few spots, and is not
: very pronounced even in those spots
j Gov. Cummins, of lowa, is a reviser,
but it is not altogether certain thai
the Republicans of his state back him
in his demand. Secretary Shaw, who
probably represents a pretty large el
ement of the lowa Republicans, ia
against revision at this time. So ia
Senator Allilson, who also stands foi
a good many Republicans in tliat
state. Gov. Cummins is making a
canvass on the revision issue now,
and although he claims to be far
ahead of Perkins, his rival, for the
governorship candidacy, it is not en
tirely certain that he is correct.
Perkins' friends are also making
1 claims, and these do not agree with
i those of the governor. But even il
Cummins should carry the state on
that issue, it would nc«t necessarily
| indicate that the west was on his
side. There are a good many states
I in the west, and there has not been
, any marked demonstration in favoi
! of tariff revision among the Repub
| licans in any of them except in lowa
i and Wisconsin. Those are important
states, but they do not dictate th«
policy of the national Republican
party. Moreover, the Republicans
will carry both of them on the con
gressional vote this year.—St. Louie
j Globe-Democrat.
A Prediction.
The views of a practical business
| man and large industrial producer
s of Providence, as expressed in a let
| ter to the American Economist, are
I worthy of attention:
"it is essential to leave the tarifl
j absolutely alone.
"It can do no harm, and it is do
j ing good every day.
"1 stated before the ways and
means committee in 1897 that we
were then the largest agricultural
nation. That if the Dingley tarifl
would remain in force for 25 years
we would be the largest manufac
turing and money nation in the world.
In manufacturing iron and steel and
some other items we are to-day.
"If the present tariff if left abso
lutely alone for 15 years more we will
be the largest in all these depart
ments, as I predicted."
Nine of the 25 years have passed,
and the prediction has been practi
cally verified. Under the operation
of a protective tariff the United
States leads the world:
In manufactures.
In agriculture.
In gross wealth and per capita
wealth.
In internal and external trade.
In the production of coal, lfwn ore,
and pig iron.
With 10 years of uninterrupt
ed protection, who can doubt that
the United States would become the
financial center, as it is now the in
dustrial center of the world?
The idea which has taken possession
of Mr. Bryan lately is one that he had
not expected to pick up when he went
abroad this time.
LAW UNCONSII UTIONAL
Right to Labor and to Employ Labor
Is Inherent and Cannot be Taken
Away Except on Ground of
Public Good.
Nfew York. —• The state law of
New York restricting the labor by
women and children to ten hours a
lay air! HO houri a week in a factory
wai declared on Friday by Justice
Olmstead in the court of special ses
sions to be "an unwarranted invasion
of constitutional rights." The ruling
was concurred in bv Justices McKean
and Deuel. Judge Olmstead declared
that, the law was class legislation.
Justice Olmsted said, in part, in his
decision: "To labor and employ labor
are inherent and inalienable rights of
our citizens and cannot be taken away
in whole or in part unless upon the
broad ground of public good, which
must be apparent, and cannot be
predicated upon legislative dictum.
"In the case under consideration
the right, of the employed and the
right of the employer are equally in
volved. Nothing to the contrary ap
pearing, it must lit' assumed that the
woman was a willing worker for a
willing employer and that the result
was mutually satisfactory and profit
able.
"The present constitution of the
state of New York was adopted in
1894. All of the rights which adult
women possessed at that time were
confirmed by that document. One of
those rights certainly was the right lo
contract for her labor and to work
when and where she pleased. It was
not until four years after that the law
making power sought to place the
limitation under consideration upon
them,
"What war. tiie legislative intent In
doing this.' i'he attorney
find.! and urges no other rea;ion lb.in
that liie general welfare of the state
demands that the progeny of women
of the factories shall have mothers
with healthy bodies to the end that
the state may have sturdy citizens.
Does tlie state look merely to the chil
dren of the factory women for its fu
ture good citizens? Why should the
housewife, the woman who toils at
home, in mercantile house, in offices,
or she who tolis not at all be exempt
from legislative interference, injunc
tive or mandatory, for the same rea
son? It this question of future citi
zenship is the only excuse for the as
sumption of police power, what be
comes of the rights of the non-child
bearing woman, a considerable class?"
Attorney General Mayer says that
he will appeal from the decision of
the court.
ALL SECTIONS ENJOY PROSPERITY.
Report of R. G. Dun & Co. on the Con
dition of Business.
New York.—R. G. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Commercial activity is welk main
tained, and early preparations are
made for autumn and winter business.
August opened with no adverse devel
opments in the trade situation, while
crop progress during July was most
favorable. Trade reports are depend
ent upon agricultural results, but all
sections of the nation enjoy great
prosperity and there is scarcely a dis
cordant note in any of the dispatches
received.
Scarcity of labor is the only serious
complaint, output of coke being cur
tailed, and there is delay in harvest
ing crops, while strikes retard the
building of San Francisco; but, on the
other hand, a slight modification of
the 1903 scale has brought back 8,000
more bituminous coal miners and the
threatened struggle at 33 paper mills
has been averted, while advanced
wages brought full activity in the
textile industry.
Commodity prices are fairly steady,
cheaper grain because of large crops
being offset by strength in the leading
materials of manufacture.
It is not often that managers cf a
leading industry are uneasy regarding
the future because of too much busi
ness, yet that is becoming the situ
ation at iron furnaces and steel mills.
Failures this week in the United
States are 180, against 210 last week.
Failures in Canada number 10, against
15 last week.
Cloudburst Causes Great Damage.
Reading, Pa. A terrific cloud
burst struck the borough of
Hamburg, this county, late Friday. A
ten-foot flood s\Vept through the main
portiou of the town, leaving in its
wake ruin and devastation. There
are washouts in the streets to the
depth of ten feet. Allen J. Romig,
who. was working in a tinsmith shop,
was drowned. The tinsmith shop
was swept away. More than 50 dwel
lings were damaged. Many persons
escaped drowning by rushing to the
upper floors of their residences. The
total loss will amount to more than
$50,000.
Flour Warehouse Burns.
Albany, N. Y, —Fire on Friday
practically destroyed the mammoth
flour house owned by Henry Russell,
of this city, the eastern distributing
agent, for one of the largest Hour mills
In the United States. The building
was 1,900 feet long and 3o feet wide,
with a capacity of 50,000 barrels.
About 35,000 barrels of flour were de
stroyed. Loss about $300,000.
Two Killed in Explosion.
Scranton, Pa. Jeremiah Wilson
was killed and Charles Par
rish fatally injured by an explosion in
the North End Coal Co.'s colliery
Friday. They had prepared a blast
and lighting the fuse Started to re
treat to a place of safety. They ran
into a blast in an adjoining chamber.
Death of Admiral Train.
Che Foo. —Rear Admiral Charles
J, Train, commander - in - chief
of the United States Asiatic fleet,
died at 9:10 Saturday morning, of
uraemia.
A BRIGHT PROSPECT.
Leaders in the Iron Trade Speak with
Less Reserve Concerning 1907
Iron Age Sums Up Condition
of Market.
New York.—The Iron Age says:
Simultaneously with reports of
a further access of strength in al. 1
the pig 'roil iuMki-tj of the country,
•Tomes liie r-tatei'.ont of the United
States Steel Corporation, showing the
largest quarter's earnings in its his
tory. Leaders in the trade now speak
with less reserve concerning early
1907, after having for some time lim
ited their predictions of good times
to 1900. The volume of orders on the
steel corporation's books on June 30,
0,809,589 tons, is the largest mid-year
total it has been able to report.
Pig iron has been the feature of the
week's market. In the east the buy
ing movement in basic iron that, was
well under way a week ago carried
the total purchases of the fortnight
above 125,000 tons, some estimates
reaching 1 r>o,ooo tons. The remark,
aWe fact about it is that consumers
provided for their needs for the bal
ance of the year with an advance be
tween the first and the laat buying of
but 25 cents.
Foundry iron markets arc advanc
ing. Southern irons are 25 cents to
r!0 cents higher. In the Buffalo dis
trict a further advance cf 50 cents
was made and eastern Pennsylvania
makers have marked up their figures.
Finished material markets show
unusual mid-summer activity, distrib
uted all along the line. At Chicago,
railroads have entered large orders
for track supplies. Rail buying for
the week has been light.
MINE EXPLOSION
Causes the Dijath of TAO People In a
Pennsylvania Town.
Wilkesbarre, Pa.—A terrific explo
sion occurred in the mine of the
Warrior Run Coal Co. at Warrior Run,
near here, Wednesday, and John Shu
maker, a miner, was instantly killed.
Through crevices formed in the sur
face by the explosion the gas escaped
from the workings below into the
houses situated over the mine and,
coming into contact with a lighted
lamp in the home of John Wiliams,
caused another explosion which re
sulted in the death of his daughter,
Margaret, aged 10 years.
The settling of the earth also af
fected the water mains of the village
and as a consequence the home of
Williams and an adjoining house were
totally destroyed. The town was in
total darkness, as tse escaping gas
made the use of lights extremely haz
ardous.
Becoming Grave.
Victoria, B. C. —Advices received
by the Empress of Japan
say the rising in Kiangai and
Chekiang provinces is becoming a
grave movement, and many believe
the rising will assume similar propor
tions to the Taiping rebellion. Hsin
Cheng Hsien, a large walled city, was
captured by the rebels and looted. A
garrison of 5,000 was left to prepare
the city to withstand a siege by im
perial troops. Several corps of im
perial troops have been dispatched.
The Roman Catholic and the Protes
tant churches yere destroyed and al
though the native pastors escaped, six
converts were murdered. Large bodies
of disbanded soldiers are affiliated
with the rebels.
Cummins Nominated.
Des Moines, la. Gov. Albert
B. Cummins was nominated for
re-election by the republican state
convention in a harmonious session
that belied all prognostications of a
possible split in the state party over
control for the head of the state
ticket. A full state ticket was nomi
nated, most of the candidates being
nominated by acclamation.
But One Higher.
Denver, Col. —The Argentine Cen
tral railroad, from Silver Plume,
on the Colorado & Southern railroad,
to the summit of Mount McClellan on
Gray's Peak, was opened for traffic
Wednesday. This road reaches a
point 14,000 feet above the sea level
and is the highest traction road in the
world, with the exception of the Peru
vian Central, in the Andes.
Registration for Lands.
Cheyenne, Wyo.—The total regis
tration for lands in the Shoshone
reservation, which closed Tuesday
evening, is 10,583. The greatest reg
istration was at Shoshoni, where
were registered 4,453.
