wrong idea about the encouragement of
local manufactures. They are willing to
assist in aiding great mills and factories
in locating in our midst , but do not care
to bestir themselves in securing small en
terprises. If an establishment employing
a thousand men were to seek encourage
ment they would readily put their shoul
ders to the wheel and help to start the
ball a rolling , but they turn a cold car to
the arguments of men who are prepared
to plant an Industry with a pay roll of
loss than fifty. This is a mistaken policy.
A largo number of small factories are
better for the stability and growth of a
city than a few largo ones , Every labor
employing industry is valuable in buildIng -
Ing tip the material interests of the com
munity. The more diversified the Industries -
trios of any section the more assurance
there is of permanency in the employ-
wont of labor. Small tactorlcs in tlmo

give employment to fifty.

They Should Bo Free to All.
An inquiry into the operation of the
telegraph lines on the land grant roads
has been begun in congress under a reso
lution introduced by Anderson of Kansas ,
who is an unflinching opponent of all
forms of corporate monopoly. The reso
lution passed by the house directs the
committee on postofllcos nnd postroads
to investigate and report whether legisla
tion is needed to prevent a monopoly of
telegraph facilities and to give the south
ern , western and Pacific states the bene
fits of competition. Under their charters
all the land grant roads are required to
opuralo their telegraph lines under the
same restrictions as to the tights of com
mon carriers that they do their raih.
This assumes that there shall bo al least
the same freedom In regard to Iho car
riage of intelligence that there Is with
the transportation of property. As com
mon carriers , tlio land grant lines can
not refuse to acccpl goods from Iho oilier
roads for transportation over their own.
The object of the clause in their char
ters , compelling them lo build , maintain
and operale telegraph lines was to all'ord
the public the benefit of wires
which would not bo placed mi-
dor the exclusive control of any
private monopoly. As a matter of fact
the land grant roads have long blnco sub-
htanlially Iransforred Ihclr lelegrapu
franchises to the Western Union com
pany , and by so doing have given lo that
closest of all private monopolies exclu
sive control of the transmission of inlclli-
gcnco over a largo portion of llie west.
The Western Union rofu cs to receive
business fiom oilier companies on fair
lerms , and tiirough its use of lines built
with government loans is forcing many
newspapers into making exclusive con
tracts lo transact all their business over
ils wiles. Mr. D. H. Rates ,
president of a competing line ,
testified before the committee that ho had
UM-d every dibit to secure from the
Union Pacific railroad the same facilities
enjoyed by the Western Union but had
utterly failed , and that no other telegraph
company could obtain any facilities west
ward over its lines from Omaha and
Kansas City. The land grant companies
in their operation of their telegraph lines
have shown their usual disregard of their
charter requirements. The intention of
the clause relating to the telegraph was
clearly to prevent the exclusive
occupation of tlio lines by any
one company. The aim of congress
was to prevent a monopoly of
Iho transmission of intelligence
and to secure equal rights to all com
panies connecting with the wires of the
land grant roads. The charter require
ment has been steadily avoided and dis
obeyed. The chicanery of contracts with
inside rings , of mortgages and bonding
of transfers back and forth between par-
tics interested , has been freely used , to
perpetuate the grip of the telegraph
monopoly upon the wires of the land
grant roads constructed by Iho nation's
bounty lo bo operated for the interests of
the public , Congress intended that the
wires should bo as free lo all as the rails
arc to connecting roads. It is specific
ally so stated in the charter
which it gave to the company and under
which the roads and telegraph lines were
accepted. The deliberate and continued
evasion of the terms of this
contract between the nation ami the Pa
cific roads is a proper subject for a
searching investigation. Tlio surface
needs only to bo scratched to prove all of
Mr. Anderson's charges.
Arbitration tlio Remedy.
Intollisont nnd thinking men , whether
capitalists or laborers , will endorse cor
dially the views of Master Workman
Powdcrly of the Knights of Labor with
regard to the value of arbitration. JMr.
Powdcrly boldly asserts that the majority
of strikes are needless. Ho says Hint
they menace returning prosperity , and
thn.- . * -gy jjj y causc widespreadsufFering
with but little compensating gain. In
ids judgment arbitration could bo secured -
cured in nine out of ton cases where
strikes take place , if those concerned
showed moro tact and loss temper.
Strikes , 6113-8 Mr. Powtlerly , are weapons
for use only in cases of urgent
necessity. If used too often they lose
their ellectivones.s. This is tlio verdict of
experience. It is level , common BOUSO
from a level-headed man. The vast ma
jority of all labor disputes can , andshould
bo , settled by a peaceful conference be
tween the employer nnd the employes.
Many labor troubles have proved to bo
the result of misunderstandings on the
one side or on the other , which arbitra
tion has promptly removed. Arbitration
is simply diplomacy the clVbrlto secure
the objcctsought without resort to war. It
is an inexpensive remedy. A strike or
lockout is always a costly one. Labor
has its rights , and Is properly combining
o defend them from assault. Against f\\o \ \
vast consolidated iulnrcsts of capital
labor is now opposing an organization
powerful enough to make its demands
fell and to resent unjust aggressions upon
its interests , The size of the Knighls of.
Labor order is its strength. It can en-
fore o its own decrees whether they bo of
peace or of war. For this reason the
order can do moro than a largo number
of organizations of workingmenin fosterIng -
Ing the principle of arbitration as a
peaceful settler of labor disputes. It has
already done much in this direction ,
The work of the Knights of Labor has so
far been beneficial to its members
and of great value to the
public. It lias $ avp < l hundreds of thous
ands of dollar- , placed in circulatlpn in
communities of working men , by prevent
ing strikes in mills and factories. At the
same limo it has secured in every case
where the lights of labor wore Involved
the victory for which it was striving.
The wants of Iho organi/ialion , of which
Iho cool-headed Powderly Is tint chief ,
has proved beyond dispute that arbitra
tion is the bust remedy for settling dif
ferences between wage payers and wage
earners. ,
SIKCK 1631 the Standard oil company ,
one of the greatest monopolies on earth ,
has had a special rate of 701 cents per
100 pounds from Chicago lo California
terminal point ? , v\hih \ > other shippers
have been obliged to pay $1,20 , This is a
fair sample of the outrageous discrimin
ation lhat has boon practiced for years
by the railroads. The Standard oil com
pany would no doubt have continued for
many years to enjoy this special tariff
had It not been for the breaking of the
transcontinental pool , which has result
ed iu rates much below that monopoly's
special rate , It remains tp bo BC.cn ,
whether , upon the readjustment of
the traukContincutttl diuloulties the
Standard oil company will bo
bo restored to its former position as a
special favorite with rates below all com
petitors. Is it any wonder that the Stan
dard oil company under such favorable
circumstances has frozen out all compet
itors ? What show has anybody to corn-
polo under such discriminations ? Docs
it astonish anybody that the people are
rlpo for revolt against the high-handed
robberies of railroads and the aggressions
of monopolies generally ? Is it not about
time llmt an Interstate commerce bill ,
such as has been presented by Reagan ,
bo passed by congress for tlio relief of
producers and shippers by putting them
all on an equal footing ?
A Strnlneil Argument.
Mr. Edmunds' aigument that all papers
relating to ollico are in their nature
"olllcial" under a fair interpretation of
the lerm , is a strained one. The distinc
tion between ollicial nnd non-ofllclal cor
respondence cannot rest on any such
broad basis. To admit It would force the
conclusion that every letler addressed lo
senators and congressmen regarding
public business by private citizens , is
"olllcial" and subject to inspection on
call. Custom nnd particular precedents
unite in terming Ihoso letter. " olllcial which
como fi om olllcial sources. Mr. Edmunds
ignores this distinct ion wholly , and ho
also ignores the fact thai Mr. Cleveland's
position is precisely similar lo that taken
years ago by Daniel Webster , then Prcil-
dent Tyler's secretary of state. Mr.
Webster was called upon to moke a
ruling on the same point as that involved
in Iho coutioversy which Mr. Edmunds
has boon so carefully nursing , and is
quoted as follows in iS'iles' Jtegistcr :
Applications tor oflk'C or letters lesjiectlnK
appointments or cnnrersnltons held with in
dividuals on such snbjecls me not ofllcinl
pioeeeillugs , nnd cannot by any means be
inatlo to pnttiiKoof tlio chutacterol' olllcial
inocec(1lmrs ( , unless aflcr the nomination ef
such peison so writing or conversing , the
president shall think piopcr to lay swell cor
respondence or Filch con\osatio ! i bcturo Iho
senate.
On another occasion Mr , WubrMer said
in the senate :
Sir , since the pi notice 1ms become a settled
practice , since every mliiitnistiatlon has In-
dulKCil In It , nnd since It must now be consKl-
eietl ns the legal construction of the constitu
tion that It is one of the powers of the incsl-
dent to remove Incumbents fiom ofllces
which they hold , it follows , as a ncoc'-saiy '
and as mi inevitable consetiucnro , that this
power thus legally vested In the president
must be exercised by him at Independently
of our control as any oiner power thai is to
bo exercised by him under the constitution.
* * And I see no ground upon which \\o
cnn call upon him to give us reasons for the
manner In vhlch Jio oxeicises lhat power
any moic than \ve can call upon him to give
reasons lor the in.umar In which he exercises
any other power under the constitution.
Mr. Edmunds is respectfully referred
to Hie opinion of as great a constitu
tional lawyer as himself. The claim
which he makes is a strained one through
out. It is one which has not the backing
in the precedent. ' ? fixing the relations of
Iho senate and the executive which ho
seeks to establish. All the co-ordinate
parts of the government have their pre
rogatives. They do not conflict when
properly exercised. Mr. Cleveland seems
to know his own in tlio present little dif
ficulty , and the senate is powerless to
assail them with anything more violent
than tlio battery of debate.
Moderation Will Win.
The industrial situation throughout the
country is much disturbed by the succes
sion of strikes and lockouts of the past
fortnight. The organs of capital are
combining to convince the public that
labor has organized to clog the wheels of
enterprise and to exact demands which ,
if granted , would close the doors of
mills and factories and draw yie fir.fis.of
furnaces and f.pnr 5. Tnoir readers are
told that the state of Iho markets will
not permit a general advance in wages ,
and lhat the scenes of 1877 will bo re
peated if laboring men do not withdraw
from their aggressive attitude toward cm-
ploying capital.
The public will not bo deceived by the
comparison. The situation in 1830 is
vastly difloront from that of nlnej'oars
ago. The industrial revolution of 1877
was a mistake , because it was made on a
falling labor market. It failed because
all the conditions of tlio period were
against continued overproduction. Man
ufacturers had overstocked the market
and could belter afford to close their
doors than maintain their cxpenso rolls.
To-day , after a long period of depression ,
industry is reviving. The market is
short. Demands upon the manufactur
ers in many lines are heavier than their
capacity. The market is rising. The
labor market is also advancing and labor
demands a share in the increased profits
of capital.
There is only one dangor-wliioh is now
menacing combined labor , That danger
is over-confidence and a rash and need
less display of ils power. Moderation
will win. Wages are being voluntarily
advanced in all tno manufacturing cen
ters of Iho oast. The arbitration com
mittee of tlio Knights of Labor have
already settled more than a hundred dis
putes between employers and workingmen -
men wilhout the loss of a day's work to
the mechanics involved. Every such
victory helps organized labor. It draws
to the support an unorganized pub
lic. It shows the power of com
bined labor in tlio strongest possible
light. Strikes and lookouts are forms of
social warfare and war is always a seri
ous business nnd a costly busjiie ; It
means loss of jT6p"or1y ) ahjl ICis ? of time.
It inflicts injurupoh "every community
from which the warriors are taken , A
victory won by war is an expensive one
if the same terms could have been secured
by diplomacy , Moderation is a trump
card in any controversy. It will bo the
winning card in Iho present labor trou
bles if played by men of cool heads and
clear judgments.

To Iho Kdllor : A great Into and cry is
being made just now about railroad dis
crimination against Iho dressed beef
tralllc. Phil Armour's corns are being
trodden. It is money versus money tills
time , and 1 am glad ( lie fur is likely to
fly. Dut tiic aspects ef this question are
now discussed with great interest , winch
1 have pointed out a hundred limes on
the stump and in the papers , viz. : Thai
the power of fixing discriminating rates
gives tlio railroad corporation full con
trol of any business in the country which
they wish to interfere with If they do
nol , Ihrotigli its exercise control the
trade in dry goods , hardware , groceries ,
eln. , etc. , it is simply because under ex
isting circumstances they tlo not deem it
then1 interest lo do so. If , ns Don Plait
says , in a recent article in tlio Chicago
Current , the corporations uro "tlio gov
ernment. " they can do these llungs when
ever I hey sou lit. They arrogate llio
right to do them , and through them to
control and regulate commerce between
tlio states , to stimulate or depress certain
industries , to ruin or enrich certain
individuals or communilios. These
powers nro all embraced in the power
lo fix discriminating rates ; in fact , they
are embraced in tlio power to make
chissilieations and fix rates at all and so
long as human nature remains what it is ,
the great power will bo sclhshly used-
will 1)0 used to oppress and destroy whenever -
over it suits the convenience of the in
dividuals who wield it.
Charles Francis Adams gave what ho
called "a case in point , " when hemet
met the Cullom committee at
Omaha last summer. He .said thai in
tlio ease of a mining camp where thn ere
produced was of so low a grade that it
could not bo worked and transported in
competition with ordinary ores and pay
the usual rates , nis company was in the
habit of maintaining that camp by giving
lower rates on its ore for tlio sake of the
business it gained in hauling miners'
supplies. In this case this com
pany exercise the power of interfer
ing with the whole business of mining ,
of depressing tlio price of ores and the
price of labor throughout tlio whole re
gion tributary to it , simply for tlio prolit
it derives on supplies hauled to low
grade camps.
This is a great question. It involves
the right of railroad corporations , who
claim to bo "the vanguard of civiliza
tion , " to retard civilization by keeping
farming districts poor , while they build
up nmf enrich munuf.ictui ing centres. It
involves the power to keep great sections
of tlio country , producing u few staple
raw products for export which barely pay
cost of production , and keeping other
great sections far remote engaged in
manufacturing supplies for the farmers ,
so that the railroads may fetch and carry
on the long Ijaul bgtwcoji tljjjui , It - .
Volvo * Ur ; , hauilunl exorcise by private
individuals of imperial powers ; and
through the exercise of tlio.so powers the
corporations are coming to bo "the gov
ernment , " as Don Piatt justly says.
