BLIND CAPITAL.
The present strike of coal miners,
the Albany (N. Y.) Journal says "is
impolitic on the part of miners," and
the Rochester Herald says "It comes
at an unfortunate time." The New
York Commercial Advertiser that "It
can hardly fail to end disastrously,"
and the New York Tribune that "It
will bring in machinery."
It may be said, in reply to these
four great journals that a strike in
America) is always impolitic be
cause it is un-American; that it al
ways comes at an unfortunate time
for coal miners, for they have been
for years in a condition bordering
upon want; that "it can hardly fail
to end disastrously," for the reasons
already given namely, that it is un
American and the strikers are with
out means of support, and like a
besieged army are easily starved
into submission; and that "it will
tend to bring in machinery because
capital was born greedy, educated in
greed, and will live by greed as
long as it can.
We have no kick coming at capi
ital. It is probable, extremely prob
able, that any one of the strikers
could be suddenly change places with
the mine-owners, would commence
putting the screws on labor just as
bard as the present mine-owners do.
But that does not alter the princi
ples. Americans are the greatest con
sumers on earth, for the simple rea
son that wages in America have been
the highest on earth. They have
had more to purchase with, as the
result of their toil. Capital seems
blind to this, and yet it is the great
underlying principle of the protec
tive tariff system which most of them
advocate. If the manufacturer of
the East cuts wages, which he has
done steadily, he expects to make
therebj' a greater profit from his
goods. But does he ? The farmers
are, after all, the foundation on
which the business of the country
rests. When the prices of his prod
ucts fall, the whole country feels it.
With small prices he has nothing
with which to buy the products of
eastern factories. And here is where
the fatal short-sightedness of the
great manufacturing and mining
companies shows itself. When their
laborers are so illy paid they cannot
buy the products of the farms, farm
produce falls, and the companies'
customers, the American farmers, be
ing deprived of money, cannot buy.
There is a limit beyond which
wages cannot be reduced and the
country survive. That limit is the
wage that will enable an economical
and industrious man to feed, clothe
and school his children, and that
limit was passed long ago in the case
of the coal-miner. There is a com
mon ground on which the two things
indispensible to each other capital
and labor should meet, but which
the former fails to either understand
or believe.
Truly the coal-miner strikes at an
unfortunate time, for be is already
hollow of eye and gaunt of fl-nk.
His income is at once shut off, while
his opponent (I will not say his
enemy) immediately puts money in
his purse by the rapid advance in the
price of his commodities. The evil
exists, but who is there shall find the
remedy?
, FATAL HEAT.
The hot wave in the East is un
precedented in its fatalities. The
number of deaths directly due to
heat was placed at 350, while in
directly there arc perhaps ten times
that many. One brought up on this
coast cannot understand how the
heat can have such a terrible effect,
for gauged by the mercury, we have
much , warmer weather than our
brethren of the East, without any
bad effects. For instance, at Cleve
land thirty-two prostrations and five
deaths were reported with the high
est temperature only 97. - Here Sat
urday we could beat that one degree,
yet nobody noticed it, nor would
they have dene so had it been 102 or
105, other than perhaps to hunt the
cool places a little more persistently.
In California men work in the har
vest fields at Red Bluff and in the
"upper Sacramento valley with the
mercury standing at 116 and 118 in
the shade, and feel no bad effects
from it.
It is accounted for in two ways
the humidity of the air, which, cou
pled with the beat, produces that
sultry and oppressive feeling, and
the fuither fact that here the nights
get cool and sleep is possible. Our
people rise up from refreshing sleep
fortified against the demands of the
day, while in the East the cooked
citizen gets up as weary as when he
went to bed.
The Sumpter News reached us
this morning. It is published at the
thriving little town of Sumpter, the
terminus of the Sumpter Valley rail
road, and is filled with news of that
section. We gladly welcome it to
our exchange list, for it tells the
news of a country that in the near
future is to be one of the great min
ing sections of the world.
