THE LESSONS TAUGHT.
.. The great strike which began June
26 th is searing the e&d, and it is time
to consider the lessons taught. Never
before in the history of the country
has there been such a long continued
struggle between capital and labor as
since the time when President Debs of
the Railway Union proclaimed a boy
cott against the Pullman company.
- 'The transDortation business has been
absolutely paralyzed for weeks, and
the loss to shippers and the railroads
will aggregate millions of dollars. For
a long time all traffic ceased, and there
were no commercial relations between
states. Even the transportation of
United States mails was interfered
, with, and the .government appeared
powerless to apply a remedy. That
organized " labor made such resistance
against the combined efforts of wealthy
" comoraticns fully demonstrates the
fact that in this country the wage'
, earners, when united, are a great and
powerful factor in the commerce as
well as the business of the country.
Viewing the situation now one can
easily discern where the elements were
lacking in the Union not accotnpliih-
v ing its object If the' advice of Mr.
Debs had been strictly followed, the
: strike would have continued for an in
definite period, and there would have
' been no occasion for the president to
have declared martial law and to have
ordered out United States soldiers.
When the first act of violence, was
dpne in Chicago it was well known by
all considerate people that that would
be a death blow to the cause of
labor, and it had the effect to change the
sympathy of many from being exerted
in favor of the employes to the em
ployers. It may have been instigated
by hirelings in the employ of the rail-
" . roads to divert public opinion from the
side of the toilers to the necessity of
preserving law and order: - and if this
. were so, it accomplished the purpose.
The strike . may be , considered . as
ended, and, as usual, labor may
deemed to .have been driven to the
wall; but it must be recollected that
not only the' thousands who were en
gaged in the contest against combined
' capital are as firmly convinced as ever
- that their cause was right, but there
. are hundreds of thousands more who
tender them their hearty sympathy
and deplore the unsuccessful ending.
The fight has simply been postponed,
and the next time the plans will be
-. more carefully laid and the chances of
" success much better ' Railroad corpo
rations had few friends among the
; laboring masses before the strike, and
the number have considerably de
creased. .-"
' From the events of the last few.
'.weeks the public have become aroused
to toe fact that railroads owe them a
, duty which must be faithfully perr
formed in all -emergencies, and' when
' strikes require concessions- they must
be made for the general good. Labor
. must not'be considered the only party
to blame and on whom rests the ob-
.. ligation of making all sacrifices, while
capital remains disturbed in its iso
lated supremacy. This matter has be
cove so urgent that a court of arbi
tration must be appointed to adjudi-
. oate the "difficulties, and commerce and
communities will not be allowed to
suffer in the future as they did during
the present struegle.
is to be found in that part of jUtah
now to be developed. However this
may bp, it is no doubt true that Utah
will be opened up to general enter
prise now as never before.
The
MANUFACTURES.
attention of our citizens has
been called to the importance of man
ufactures on different occasions by the
Times Mountaineer, and the subject
should create the si me interest now as
it has in former years. All the nat
ural facilities for factories could be
easily u tilized in this 'vicinity, and
this city is the most available market
for raw material of any in the north
west. Water power sufficient to turn
the wheels of unlimited establishments
is very accessible, and this, by modern
appliances, could be easily put in op
eration. It could not be expected that
The Dalles, with a population of about
4000, and with, few men of means,
could undertake the development of
resources that would require the out
lay of considerable money.. Foreign
capital must be invited, and to this
end our wants and facilities should be
made known. .
This being the center of trade for a
large region of- country, and with cer
tain prospects of soon having unob
structed water communication with
the markets of the world, manufac
tures will be the roost powerful factor
nt umvth and advancement. The
home-seeker will not come without
there are means of employment by
which he can support himself and
family. Factories of all kinds would
furnish these, and their inauguration
would increase the wealth and busi-
ness of the community.
The fruit industry in .this vicinity
has been one of the greatestimport
ance for many years, and the estab
Iisbment of a cannery should be the
first move in the line'of manufac
tures that will meet with universal
support. ; Every season tons of fruit
and vegetables could be canned and
shipped to foreign markets, and
steady and increasing source of rev
enue be inaugurated. . The soil is well
, I nuaubcu iu wmw k.v .u - j- ,
plums, apples, cherries, etc., ana an
varieties of vegetables. Thes being
put in a convenient shape for shfpnJ
rnent would stimulate the cultivations
of. all vacant lands, and where one
acre is now deviated to the growth ' of
fruit and vegetables,. with a ready
market for their sale, this area would
be largely increased. , A cannery that
would be profitable - may cost from
$6000 to $10,000, and it has been
suraesced that this amount could be
39
raised by subscription to a joint stock
company.
It is time that some movement was
made, in this city looking to the estab
lishment of manufactures, and we are
satisfied that a cannery will attract
other factors of development. If the
matter is only pushed with proper
energy, The Dalles will have in a few
years, not only a cannery and wool
scouring mill, but other industries
that will attract wealth and population
and make this city the manufacturing
center of the northwest. -.-.-
THE STATE OF . UTAH.
The house of representatives con
curred) on Julyyl2ih in the senate
amendment to the bill admitting Utah
into the Union, and its admission is
now an assured fact, but under t wo
provisions peculiar to itself. ' There
now remain only three territories
which- are embryo states Arizona,
New Mexico and Oklahoma for
Alaska and Indian territory are not in
the line of statehood. These three
remaining territories may be admitted
by this congress. Their admission
'within a few years is inevitable.
Utah would have been admitted to
tha Union many years ago bad it not
been . for polygamy, says ' the Inter
Ocean. As long ago as 1870 it had a
population of 86,786. Even it 1860
it had 40,273. In 1880 it had 143,-
953, and in 1890 207,905. It has by
- this time not much less than a quarter
of a million. But this population is arbitration should be

HE -.SPEAKS.
After the strike has been, in progress
for several weeks Mr. Pullman has
deemed it the proper fime to give bis
version of the cause of the' strike to
the public. The true reason that he
has submitted to the humiliation of
giving his side of the controversy to
the newspapers is because he is fully
aware that publio opinion is very
much agitated op the question, and
demand that both sides present argu
ments. To a .business man Mr. Pull
man's statement reads very fair; but
the facts given by the Railway Union
appear equally fair and make a stronger
appeal to those interested in the rights
of labor. In this age of the world
every public corporation owes a duty
to the people, the same as every citi
zen does to his neighbor, and this duty
should be of such a-nature that its
performance should be in conformity
with the well being of the cam no unity.
Under our laws common carriers are
held responsible for their actions, and
la tb.'s republic where thore is such
close connection between labor and
capital the wage earner and employer
have certain relations to each other in
which the public are interested. For
these reasons, when strikes result in
great injury to business, a court of
provided in
THE TARIFF.
The dispatches state that Mr. Cleve.
land is trying to consolidate his
friends in the house against tha pas
sage of the Wilson bill as it comes from
the senate, or, as it is now called, tha
Gorman bill. He claims that it does
not carry out the provisions of the
Chicago platform, but follows the
principles of protection more closely
than it does those of free trade. For
many months the ablest men in the
Democratic party have attempted to
frame a measure suited to the wants of
the people from their stand point, and
this could not be done except it was
patterned after the McKinley bill. As
it came from the house it was not con
sidered adapted to the growth and
present status of the industries of the
nation, and now, after it has been
amended in the senate, it is unsatis
factory to the president and his fol
lowers in the lower branch of congress.
From this, it is very apparent that the
Democratic party, in its tariff reform
legislation, is a failure, ai.d wouli ap
pear more consistent to the American
people if it had spent its time during
the present session in drafting and pass
ing a purely free trade measure. From
present indications, it is doubtful if
anything will be done during this
session regarding the inaugaiation
of a change in the economics policy
which has governed the nation success
fully for a long number of jeara The
promises of Democracy during the ast
presidential canvass were very profuse
in relation to the tariff; but it ban
utterly failed to redeem a single one,
although it has had a good working
majority in both the upper and lower
houses of congress.
THE BALLOT.
To read the comments of some pa
pers on the strike one would arrive
at the conclusion that the American
wage-earner la an inveterate enemy to
free institutions, and merits nearly as
severe treatment as the anarch int.
Organized labor, especially, has been
the subject of severe criticism, and all
unions, having for their object the
unification of effort in any given direc
tion, have been severely condemned. But
the movement among laborers of baud
ing together for self-protection is too far
advanced to he stamped out by corpo
ration organs. In the general progres
sion of the world (he toiler has de
veloped the use of his brains as well
as his muscles, and in every condition
of life, except that, which can only be
purchased by money, is on a level with
the capitalist. This is particularly
true of Americans, and every patriot
should feel a degree of pride in it.
But this tirade against the Railway
Union will cease before the next elec
tion, and the organs that have been so
vehement against the strikers will be
the most conciliatory. The votes of
the railway employees are as heavy
in - the ballot box as those
of the railway magnates, and if exer
cised with intelligence will accomplish
more, because they are numerically
larger. If labor is defeated in the
contest in which it is now engaged, it
sane, there would be many brilliant
and well-balanced minds in asylums,
while unbalanced ones would be still
at large.
The wheat harvest of the north
west will be more this year than for
many previous seasons, and if fair
prices are received this region will en
ter upon an era of prosperity. It is
to be hoped that the means of trans
portatiou will be sufficient to move the
immence yield of grain when it is cut
aud ready for market.
The receipts during the present
month at the treasury in Washington
have been larger than the expendi
tures, and this is the first time since
the Democratic administration has
been in power. We expect Demo
cratic organs to exhaust ail their re
serve supply of enthusiasm over this
fact; but, it would be wiser to wait
and see whether this excens will keep
up during the year.
Eugene P Pendergast, who mur
dered Mayor Harrison of Gbicago last
October, was hanged for the crime la.it
Friday. The court in which he was
tried and found guilty, very justly and
humanely postponed the execution of
thesenteoce until his sanity was clearly
proved. If Pendergast had gone to
the gallows with this question unsettled
it would have been a lasting disgrace
to the judge and to American civi
lization. The. following from the Milton
Eagle is good advice that every one
should follow: " 'Keep pegging away.'
That was Mr. Lincoln's favorite ad
vice to the Union generals when they
got into a tight place. It is good ad
vice to follow now. The times sfe
tight but keep pegging away. Let
the merchant slick to his business and
the mechanic to his trade. Your
profit may not be large, but kepp peg
ging away. I he way to get business
is to make business. If you have
anything to sell, advertise it, so th t
those who want to purchase will know
where to find it. 'Keep pegging
away.
There was a bill passed congress in
1888, providing for the appointment of
commissioners to arbitrate labor
troubles, when they interfere with in
ter-state commerce. The Railway
Union nave always been, willing to
arbitrate matters ia dispute between
the member and Mr. Pullman, but he
has stated that he "bad nothing to
arbitratb." Let the country pass
judgment upon the present strike, and
decide who are -responsible for the
interruption to bpsiness strikers
who are wilhnc at all times tol submit
to the provisions of the law of 1888,
or the railway managers who desire
to starve the men into submission.
Nearly, every pu'ilio paper in the
country has expressed its opinion in
regard to the strike of the Railway
Union and the boycott of the roads
running Pullman coachea.. Their
views of the right or wrong of the
great contest have been influenced by
the many hardships entailed upon bus
iness and communities. Tbey have
not, apparently, considered tnat there
were two or more remedies for the
evils suffered; but have cast the whole
blame upon the strikers: If Pullman
would have submitted to arbitration
the matter would have been settled
amicably, and there would have been
no disturbance to. trade. The same
result would have been attained by the
railroad companies lef using to haul
Pullman coaches, or if Attorney
General Olney had not decided that a
Pullman car was necessary to make a
mail tram. These methods of peace-

A Letter From Jndse Cooler.
Washington, July 17 In view of the
criticisms tbat have been uttered in cer
tain quarters on tbe legality of the course
pursued by President Cleveland in using
federal troops, notably at Chicago, not to
preserve the pear.e, but to execute the
decrees of the federal judiciary and keep
in operation tbe provisiots of the inter
state commerce law, tbe following letter
fr"m one of tbe most able exponents of
the coLStitution in the land, Judge T. H
Cooley, has- peculiar application . It was
sent to President Cleveland.
"Now that the great atrike in which
your official .in'erveutlon became so nec
essary has been clearly- shown to be ,a
failure, I beg to be allowed to express
my unqualified satisfaction with every
step you have taken in vindication of tbe
national authority and with the restow
tion of raw and order which has been fol
lowed or is now in progress. The caution
and deliberation with which . you have
proceeded and, I think, worthy, like tbe
accnmpuyiog firmness, of highest praise,
and I am especially gratified that's great
aud va:uab!e lesson in constitutional con
struction has been settled for all time
with remarkably little blood -abed. You
and the attorney-general also have won
tbe gratitude of tbe country, not fur this
generation only, bu' for all time, and
may God bless you for it, is my sincere
prayer
