A law should be passed by congress
to protect employe of Interstate rail
' way and - bill bavin this for Ita ob
. lect was pssaed by congress on the
.' reoommerldatlon of the president; but
Its constitutionality successfully ' aa-
sailed. There t nothing to prevent an
- ' amendment to make the bill conform to
the decision of the supreme court of the
United Htatee, and congress ought to
hasten lo Dais a bUl embodying this
amendment having for lta object the
nrntti-tlnn af rullwi amnlovea. Aa evl
. denca of my belief In this doctrine, 1
hava to call attention to the fact that
In mr message to the legislature of
Oregon In 19U6 X recommended a bill
' for the protection of railway employee,
and the bill as recommended by me to
the , legislature waa - paastd without
amendment, and la now a Jaw of this
atate. These men who are engaged In
-. handling the commerce of thla country,
from which immense proms are- re
ceived br the transportation companies.
are entitled to national aa well as to
atate protection, and there la no rea
son why It should longer . be denied
; them. '. -. '
-' -. aterardlBf Xbor. - ;
In thla conneotlon I dem It ' proper
to aay that I favor the eight-hour day.
It la a well-known fact that In many
'-" arenuea of labor amployea are com
peLled to work the greater part of the
Hi' hours, and thla In many caaea where
' are entrusted . to them the lives and
i property of our ciuns, and no man
' ran. for any' length of time, retain his
health and vigor, either physically or
mentally, where-this condition exists.
Kor the protection of both life and prop
erty, and the perpetuation of that high
' r civilisation which must prevail in
this country, laws must bo framed to
' accomplish this result against the
avarice of those who assume ths-, rlacht
' to dictate the terms of employment.
' Tito lav relating to Injunctions, too,
eafht to be modifleA m m to prevent
the Issuing of writ of Injunction. In in
dustrial dispute excrpt after notice to

to have a Jury trial where tho alleged

we hive the right to act for -lf-preer-vatlon

- Tariff Xerlsioa.
- A demand hss gone up rrom tho people
of this country for a revialun of the
tariff. Llatlnguisnel statesmen in me
Kepubllcao party wno are now canai
ilatoa for the bresldentlal nomination
and who have heretofore maintained
that there on Hilt to be no modification
of any tariff legislation, have begun to
realise that the domanda of the people
cannot longer be disregarded. Homo are

of revision at some indefinite time In

An incident haa recently happened In
conarr-ss which will do more to call the
attention of the people to the Iniquities
of some of the feat urea of the present
tariff law than anything that haa hap
pened for yeara Beven hundred and
seventy-four newspapers met In New
York on Aurll 11 at the annual meet
Ing of the Associated Freae. They
adootcd and forwarded to the president
nd to congress an address asking lor
immediate relict from the exactions or
the paper trust, made possible by the
high duty on wood pulp and print 'pa
per, -instead of -acting nromptiy upon
this addrena and granting relief right
enusly 'demanded an attempt Is being
made to whitewash tho papor trust and
to allow the present condition to con
tinue for an indefinite time. The great
newspapers of the country appreclnte
the outrage mat is oeing committed
against the press of tho country, snI
tbey will be heard In esse action on
their petition I Ignored. The proposed
whitewash Is to oe applied by means
of the usual program of appointing a
committee to investigate; but I predict
that the editorial writers or ths country
will not stand lor any sucn nroceeaing.

A prominent Republican-paper a few
lay since bad this to aay on the sub
ject: 'Twenty bills or more were in
roduced In the house of representatives
early In tho aession to reduce the du
ties on paper- and pulp 'which are the
basis of the trust extortions. . Not one
of these bills has been reported. They
have all been smothered In the com
mittee. Why did this happen? If the
duty does not affect tbo price of paper,
then thaf prico would. not, be altered, by
repealing-- the, duty I tho repeal would
dlaturb nothing,--while on tho other
hand ita failure to oroduce results

Cannon knows the exact truth and tells
it. Would not the experiment bo worth

repeal of the 1dutv would . accomplish
nothing. If It would accomplish noth

If It should hnppcn to show that he Is

Conservation of JTatuJral Jtssouroes.
Ti. tima haa coma when the Ques
tion of ths conservation of tho, natural
resource of the country has become
a burning one. The laws, have been
an lax in their terms and so eaSy of

If they are, be Is not. The fact Is, the
president, in carrying out these policies
