The Galveston Journal makes
a somewhat elaborate defense
of strikes; it says that bankerx

terest cotton presses ther
charges shippers their freights
and lawyers their .scale of fees
and nothing is said about them.
It thinks that labor has the same
right to protect itself that cap-
ital has. In the abstract the
Journal is right but as a gene-
ral thing strikes are disastrous
and the strikers being poor
men suffer much more than the
capitalists who are not materi-
ally injured by letting their
capital lie idie a few days
weeks or months.

is no better evidence of their

The papers are about re-
opening a discMSsion of the
tariff question and many doc-
uments in the interest of high
tariff and low tariff will be sent
broadcast over the land. The
present indications are that
the tariff question will be the
prominent one in the coming
presidential canvass now nearly
three years off. The finances
of the country are in a healthy
condition labor of all kinds is
scarce and in demand at remu
nerative prices all products of
the soil are high and the agri-
culturists generally are fairly
prosperous except in sections
where the drouth has prcvailed;(
nearly all the manufacturing es
tablishments throughout the
land are running on full time
and the demand for their pro-
ducts is almost unprecedented.

The Richmond Nation has

which will commence arriving

N. A. T. writing to the Hous-

home colleges where young la-

college graduates than former-
ly now enter the ministry. The
reason assigned is the poor
pay of clergymen and the gen-
eral lack of respect paid to the
cloth.

ic party and thus achieve their
own selfish ends. And all the
world except the tirecnbackers
themselves see and know these
things.
