Secretary of the Treasury
Shaw Is an Able Statesman
WHO HAS WIDE OPEN EYES HE
WARNS THE COUNTRY AGAINST
RECKLESS TARIFF TINKERING
A REVISION IS SOMETIMES
FATAL-TO BUSINESS. ' a
(From Thursday's Daily.) t
The speech of Secretary Shaw at
Morrisvllle, Vt.. on the lth of August,
was an epoch In the campaign of 1?02.
Its Importance and its significance can
hardly be overestimated.1 The.country
was ready1 and willing for such a
speech by the Secretary of the Treas
ury. More than. ever, after reading this
speech, will the, country congratulate
itself and the administration upon the
retirement of a very feeble and Ineffl
dent minister of finance and the in
stallation as his' successor of a man ot
brains, a man' of mark, a man who
knows something . besides how to lend
other people's money, a man.who has
studied economics While studying
finance?; and" has accordingly learned
the important truth that a sound eco
nomic condition is an 1 indispensable
condition precedent to a sound finan
cial condition. What Secretary Gage
did not know about the tariff and .Its
relation to the general welfare of the
nation would make up : a very large
volume. What little he did, know he
knew wrongly and for the most-part
as a free trader knows it. i
But here comes a man from Iowa
whose horizon has not been bounded by
a bank counter, who has seen a bigger
world, a world of more consequence, a
world of farms and factories, of mills
and mines, of forests and fisheries,
while at the same time he has not neg
lected to look over the world of
finance. Speaking as the fiscal mouthr
piece of the administration, this wide
open eyed man tells the country what it
wants most to hear at-this time, and
that is -that the thing "to consider Just
now is the" prosperity we haveand bow
not to fool it away on half-baked, pre
mature i projects of - tariff reform and
tariff revision. -White not opposing
changes in the .tariff schedules when
such changes are iTalnly called for by
altered conditions.- Secretary Shaw
would ?treslst the rrort of the opposi
tion to reyisg the ehtire tariff law. thus
paralyzmg business for a season." He
doubts the wisdom of instructing or
exacting "pledges from candidates, for
Congress aa "liable to precipitate a pro
tracted debate with very uncertain re
sults." In his opinion no condition at
present exists which calls for or Justi
fies any disturbance of the tariff sched
ules on any other than strict protection
lines. -Most emphatically and specific
ally he reject the plea that tarifT revis
ion is necessary Ibecause of th trusts,
or because somebody Somewhere thinks
he would be the gainer by a reduction
of duty rates ays the Secretary: .
There ougTit to be 4me more tan
gible reason for , such a dangerous ex
pedient than the existence of a sent!
ment in. certain local-Ues, now as al
ways, that demands-a reduction of the
tariff on articles there consumed and
not produced, while It stands ready to
fight to a finish any reduction on the
things there produced.
"I, for-one, must have a very bitter
and relentless enemy before I will con
sent to carry yellow fever germs Into
my home town. Don't misunderstand
me. I am not comparing the 'readjust
ment of a schedule here and there to
an epidemic. Rut I do declare that
there has never been a revision of the
tariff In the Interest of free trade or
for revenue only that has not proven
as fatal to business as the plagues of
Egypt."
Still more explicitly Secretary Shaw
declares: , ' t .,
"I am willing to-concede that condi
tions change, and that the old Morrill
bill of the sixties, for Instance, when
the country was involved in war, would
not be appropriate for us now, but , 1
will not admit that the tariff is the
mother of trusts, nor will .1
that a tariff for revenue only wftl de
stroy trusts .on any other theory than
that a fire in a wheat field will destroy
Canada thistles.! '
The precise attitude of the stalwart
protectionists has never been more
clearly expresd than in this state-
rc"The protective tariff, - ays Mr.
Shaw, "is not the mother of trusts
though it is the parent of conditions
that make it profitable for capita ; to
combine and congenial for labor to or
ganize." He adds:;
"The Republican party in my state
recently re-afflrrned the tariff p
of I90L This has caused considerable
comment. It has been "V '
not quite aa persistently, but in the
same way. that the memorable speech
of President McKlnley at Buffalo has
been misrepresented, misquoted, mis
construed and misapplied."
The significance of this remark will
be appreciated by those who have wil
fully and falsely, sought to show that
President McKlnley favored .relaxa
tion or the principle Of P?1 apir
On the subject of removing thef tariff

reason for the present hgh price of
meat wholly outside cf the operation of
the protective tariff:
"I have taken . occasion to look this
matter up since rtaraas of these reso
lutions, and I think I can ftnd reason

than the protective taritt . I find that

"The Burlington road alone, during
the entire , month, brought from the
Southwest, where the corn crop was

pending against them, and tt the alle
gations of the "petition art sustained
(and that seems probable) they are go
ing to have trouble, and it will take a
very touch more acute form than it
would jto say to the farmers of the
United States that their industry shall
be opened to competition from the un
limited ranges of South America.!.
'A world of wisdom is contained in
the following illustration of the secret
of prosperity: . . -. ;
The senior Phil Armour told me
that he got rich while a young man by
watching the Iron and owl miners.
"He said. Vher.ever these men were
at work I used to pack every ham I
Jcful. get mv hands on. and my old
partner would say: phii. ycu win
break us ud.' I would answer: 'No.
chose fellows are working. But when
the coal ar.d Iron workers were Idle. I
used to sell everything I could dispose
of. . .
"The secret of American prosperity,
gentUmea, can be 'couched. In four
words "they are work:ng-jiow." And
"they" means everybody--f armer snd
artisan, mechanic and merchant, the
man at the force and the man in the
.leld "and they are all indecendent.
-"Away back In ISiS Daniel Webster

which repealed the protective tariff
act w hl h bore the" signature of : Old
Tlprecanoe, uttered this maxim, 'When
theije is worklfor the hands, there will
.be bread for the teeth. '
They are working now!" That is
the 1 whole secret In four words. And
Secretary Shaw asks the voters of the
United States to see to It that this con
dition is not changed. How not to
change It? Compel all tariff reform
ers, all tariff revisionists, all tariff
tinkers of every Krt and kind to "go
away back and sit down." Prosperity
IS the Issue. The country has a good
thing.. Let It alone. From the "Ameri
can Economist," Friday, August 29,

THE TROUBLE pN THE IJOItES

SETTLED A CHINESE GROWER
THREATENED BY HIS PICKERS
TESTERDAT.
From nearly all the yards come re
ports of rapid progress, and a splendid
quality of taopa. ' many of the yards
the( crop will have been gathered, or
nearly all Saved by tomorrow (Satur
day) night, while some of the larger
yards will have another ten days pick
ing. In the north end of the "county
the -yards smaller than those In "this
section are being rapidly harvested,
and there picking will" be generally fin
ished by next Monday evening. Many
of the pickers from Jhat section wfll
then move this way, and attempt to se
cure work ln the larger yard Tn Polk
and. Marlon counties south of here.
where tbe work is a trine later, and
the yards are larger.
The trouble in the hop yarda south of
thi city, seems to have been. In the
main, . amicably adjusted.' In a few
esses there were some pickers sent out
of the yards, bat by far . the greater
portion of 1 them are at work. In the
Holmes yard, south of Salem, run by
T. A., Llvesley & Co.. the trouble was
settled yesterday, and Mr. Llvesley. In
speaking of the matter last night stated
that he had sufficient pickers to handle
his' crop, and picking was going on sat
isfactorily. "Everything was quiet he
said, and "that the disturbing element
had been removed. In case of a short-,
age of pickers today sufficient had been'
engaged to come in and help handle
the crop. This firm Is paying 40 cents
a box. the ruling price of the season.
Fpeaking of the trouble, Mr. Lrlveslcy
deprecated the wMe publicity given
thematter, saying that the trouble only
expended to a small per centage of .the
pickers, who have gone out. the rot
having returned to work, and . there i
now irace on the Holmes tnrh. Home
of the pickers claim the trouble grew
out of dissatisfaction with one of the
bosses in the yard, and this culminated
In demand for higher pay.
From the Oliver Beers yard, eight
miles northiof -this city, last night,

of the yard Is a Cvlnaman. and hs has

town, alleging their lives had been
threatened, and laid their troubles before-the
officers. It Is their intentloa
to return to the yard this morning, and
there settle up with and discharge the
pickers who refuse to work for the pre
vailing price of 40. cents. A deputy
