THE TANANA MINERS,
The movement of the Tatiana miners
is a matter of course—a tiling that has
come on naturally and at the time it
was to he expected. Wherever there is
need for any considerable number of
wage earners there is need for them to
he organized, and their organization is
beneficial to the employers as well as to
themselves. The first great good it dots
the employers is to necessitate their
own organization. Then each side is in
a position to systematically guard its
own selfish interests and to give as well
as to take Neither can possibly be
come so strong as to be flagrantly un
just without self injury.
The working miners started out with
the justice of the eight-hour contention
conceded, most likely, by a great ina
jority of all classes of |>eople. It is
belief that the employers would -cri
ously antagonize the workers on that
point. Theipnstion of the wage, how
ever, is of a different nature, ami must
he determined by that kind of selfish
ness whieli is willing that each pirty to
the hargain should get some of the
profits.
It is hoped there will he no serious
friction over the matter—and if dema
gogy can he kept out there is no appa
rent cause to expect any.
THE DEMAGOGUE’S WEAK POINT.

jr<ijpte that h hoimrl tn live forever. It

Here it is the miner’s pick. What
would the country amount to if it
were not for the man who uses it? asks
our never-dying logician. Truly hut
little. But, then, the pick had to he
made before it could be used; therefore
a real smart demagogue might twist his
weaker brother’s logic so that there
would appear to be one man superior
to its wielder—the man who created it.
And so it goes. The miner’s pick is
an honorable implement, but no more
so than the woodman’s ax or the log
ger's peovy. If the biggest mine operator
in the country knew it would be greatly
to bis interest to do so he would unit
mining and go to fishing for dog salmon.
The demagogue’s weak point is in play
ing the calling to honor the man in
stead of the man to honor the calling.
Here in town the dullness for two
weeks has amounted almost to desola
tion. At the same time goods have
been going to the ereeks as fast as the
freighters eould carry them, and we
know that the men who are absent
from town are at work. Taken alto
gether. it has not been a bad winter.
There will lie mighty little goods carried
over. _
