''' The Charities Review shares In the
general perplexity as to the result of
the convict labor
I'tllizntlon of . v
system of Jew
Convict I.«U»or. York. Commenting
upon the report of the superintendent
of prisons, it declares it impossible to
say yet whether the New York scheme
to avoid competition with free labor
can be carried out with such success
as to justify its permanency. The idea
of restricting prison labor to fields
where it does not come into competi
tion with free labor ie not carriediout
so long as work is undertaken which
could be done and would otherwise be
done by outside free labor with ordi
nary profit. The New York system of
manufacturing goodVs for the consump
tion of state institutions is competi
tion with free labor just as* much as if
a private individual bought the goods.
The chances teem to be against the
state receiving as high a grade of goods
under the new system, and this is an |
economic waste. The Charities lie- |
view says that the only way in which
prison labor can be employed so as
not to come into competition with free
labor would be to set the convicts at
some task which ordinary enterprise
could not undertake at a profit, such, |
for instance, a.s reclaiming waste lands, '
or in mines which it would not pay to 1
work commercially, or in building
roads or other extensive public works
which otherwise would not be attempt
ed. Of cours", each has iis disadvan
tages and objectionable features, but,
as the Charities Ileview says, if prison
labor must ba excluded from 1 he mar
ket the way lies rather in these direc
tions than in juggling over who shall be
the consumer of the prison-made prod
ucts.

sns, barbers die of
starvation. When you see a wagon
on the road looking as if it was load
ed with cornsiik, it's only the old
farmer man's whiskers stacked up be
hind him. Most of the streets are
paved, the grains of corn being used
for cobblestones, while the cobs are
hollowed out and used for sewer pipe.
The husk when taken off whole and
stood on end makes a nice tent for
the children to play in. It sounds
queer to hear the feed man tell the
driver to take a dozen grains of horse
feed over to Jackson's livery stable.
If it were not for soft, deep soil here
1 don't see how they ev -r would har
vest the corn, as the stalks would
grow up in the air as high as the
Methodist church steeple. However,
when the ears get too heavy their
weight presses the stalk down in the
ground on ail average of 02 feet; this
brings the ear near enough to the

Three years hence St. Louis will be
getting ready to open the great inter

of tj>#< '.Tin oils event in national his

pleasure to record that no serious im
pediment has been met. with since the
exhibition was decided on. Only words
of encouragement have been heard and
pledges of support are general. Con
gress will act soon, and its appropria
tion marks the time for pressing for
ward with the work in all directions.
The three years available will be crowd
ed with labor in behalf of the fair, and
the period, indeed, is rather a short al
lowance. liut the pride of St. Louis is
enlisted and the energy required will
not be found lacking. Vigorous action
will follow the settlement of prelimi
naries, and that will come soon.
If anybody wants to open a liquor

FREE SILVER'S DEMISE.
Lant of the ttnentlon 'I hut Ilaa
Troubled Ilie People for Twen
ty-Five Year*.
The senate concurred in ihe report
of the conference committee on the
gold standard bill. The house did so
and the president will put his name to
the bill as soon as it reaches him.
Thereupon the silver question, which
has been a burning' issue for a quarter
of a century, will vanish from the stage,
perhaps never to return to it. Consid
ering the long lease of Life that ques
tion has had, the mischief it wrought,
and the greater mischief it «amc near
causing, the people can get along with
out it for a century or more.
Just as the issues growing out of the
civil war were losing force, silver came
to the front. In the summer of 187(i
congress selected a joint commission to
ascertain why silver was depreciating
in value and whether the double
standard should be restored. Since
then congress and the country have
been drenched ivitli free silver to the
saturation point. During the long con
troversy the two houses of congress
changed roles. In 1877 the lower branch
was for free coinage. It reflected the
sentiments of constituencies still suf
fering from the effects of the panic of
1573 and which were of the opinion that
"more money" was the only cure for
business depression. The senate was
conservative. It, would do no more
than grant limited coinage on govern
ment account. As time went by the
house learned wisdom and the senate
lost it. The latter became the citadel
of free silverism.
The democratic party, which had
been afflicted with greenbackism after
the war, became the victim of the free
silver craze, and as a consequence has
been sadly demoralized for some years.
The republican party was more for
tunate. It coquetted with the white
metal, but went no further. 'When the
critical moment came in 180 Git stood
firmly on the right side. But the coun
try had a frightfully narrow escape
that year, and there would not have
been so much danger if the republican
party had been wiser and braver in pre
ceding- years. It is not safe io deal ten
derly with financial heresies. They
have a rank growth when not
trampled under foot at onee. Those
heresies have plagued the United
States from time to time since colonial
days. The future may have another
"cheap money" mania in store for us.
But if it comes it is devoutly to be hoped
that it will not last so long and do so
much mischief as the one over which - i
tombstone has just been .set up.—Chi

BENEFICENT RULE.
Complete Refutation of the Demo
cratic linrj;e Agniniit tlie
President.
The bill which the house of repre
sentatives passed for the relief of
l'orto llico was a complete refutation
of the democratic charge that there
was no intention to administer Porto
Rican affairs for the benefit of that
I island. President McKinley sent a
message asking permission to use the
money received from dulies on goods
coming from l'orto Rico to relieve
' the needs of the inhabitants of that
! island, in two hours after receiving
| the message a bill carrying out its
j recommendation had been passed by
j the house.
| The democrats were thrown into
j consternation. They had been posing
I as friends of the l'orto I'icans, and
how could they oppose a bill provid
ing more than $2,000,000 for the relief
of the destitution in Porto Rico? Vet
they hesitated to leave their time
worn platform of opposition to the
administration. After some desper
j ate plunges ilie democrats rallied on
I tlie pretext that it was improper to
1 place so much money with the r.ation
-lal executive. Nevertheless, I.'! demo
crats had manhood enough to break
away from their party and to vote
fort he bill.
The policy of the national admin-
I istration toward all the new posses
! sions of the United States has been
j benevolence itself. This intention to
j use the moneys received by levying
| duties upon goods from Porto llico
for the immediate benefit of that is
land is as humane as the spirit which
prompted the $:!.00i>,000 appropriation
| for the relief of Cuban sufferings,
j Since the Spanish-American war be
<ran there has not been a national act
inspired by that war which has not
been the outgrowth of humanity, and
which has not been kintl in its meth
od as well as in its spirit. History
will record of the administration of
President, McKinley that its glorious
success in promoting the growth of
the nation was equaled by the broad
kindness which made expansion be
nevolent in purpose and in accom
plishment.—Troy Times.
11 will be interesting to see how
many of the weeping democratic
friends of Porto Pico who have want
ed relief, and relief at once, for that
island will filibuster to prevent the
passage of the house bill, which,
whether it gives the exact, relief the
democrats wish, certainly gives a
large practical measure of it. Perhaps
tlicy will work to bloak any relief
legislation for the sake of making
party capital out of its failure. —X.
V. Tribune.
IT"The money in circulation in this
country to-day exceeds two billions of
dollars, and the circulation per capita
amoun s to $25.05, breaking all rec
ords. It was declared in a speech in
the house of representatives the other
day that the people are more inter
ested in money "per pocketa" than
per capita. Fortunately, however,
money "per pocketa" is rather more
plentiful with the majority than it
has been before in a long, long time.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MARCH 29, 1900.
THE PORTO RICO MATTER.
UenelilM Which Will Accrue to tlie
Inland Through I'ropoMed
'l'a r I IT.
Opponents of the Porto Rican tariff
bill have tried to attach a great deal
of importance to certain statements
alleged to have been made by men in
Washington said to have been sent
there to represent the interests of the
people of the island. These men were
quoted to have said l'orto Rico want
ed no financial aid; that she was
abundantly able to pay for her home
needs; that all she wanted was free
trade with the United States, etc.,
etc.
Either those men were misquoted
or else they misrepresented the con
dition of the masses of the l'orto
Ricans. Gen. Davis, military governor
of tho island, has written to the state
department at Washington that there
is great destitution among the work
ing people, and that some of them are
in actual danger of starvation, lie
recommends that means be given him
to put 25,000 men at work for three
months on the improvement of the
roads; for this he says he will need
for labor, tools and supplies about
$225,000 per month. He thinks that
within three months, under this plan,
the period of acute distress will be
passed over without difficulty and
that then new industrial and eco
nomic conditions will exist under the
wise and remedial legislation that
congress will enact.
the passage of the bill to refund to
Porto Rico the customs duties col
lected on products of the island re
ceived into the United States will
make available about $2,000,000, so that
if the sum asked'for by Gen. Davis
is allowed him there will still be more
than a million and a quarter left for
works of permanent improvement.
Of course, the anti-tariff papers will
now say no more about the alleged
statements of the alleged l'orto llieati
delegates, but a*, ill point to Cien. Da
vis' letter and say that this country is
about to burden with taxation a people
so stricken by misfortune. 1 his line of
argument of the. anti-tariff people re
calls the days of 1888, .when all 1 lie dem
ocratic parrots were taught to exclaim
that "the tariff Is a tax." It need hard
ly be said that the imposition of a 15
per cent, duty will not be a tax on
the poverty-stricken thousands of
l'orto llico who have notliingto export.
It will not be a tax upon the planters,
because, while they will have to sell
their products to United States buyers
a little cheaper because of the duty to
be paid by the latter, Ilie cost of pro
duction in Porto llico is far more than
15 per cent, less than it is in the United
States. The tari 11' will be to none a bur
den: it will be merely a source of rev
enue for the benefit of all the people of
l'orto llico.
In Ihis connection it will be in order
to point our the purpose of democratic
efforts to drive the government, by
means of more or less simulated popu
lar clamor, to immediate abolition of
the tariff. The democracy desires to
see a precedent established through
which it could censure the government
when the making of regulations for
trade with Ilie Philippines comes up,
whatever the government might do in
that ease. 1f it should place a tariff up
on goods passing between the United
States and the archipelago, the democ
racy would cry aloud that it was vio
lating a precedent established in the
case of l'orto Ilicoand was discriminat
ing against the unfortunate Filipinos;
if it should establish free trade with
the Philippines, the democratic party
would wax indignant because the prod
ucts of cheap Chinese and Malay labor
were to be brought into unjust competi
tion with American products.
By a temporary tariff between Porto
Ilicoand the United States the only pre
cedent that will have been established
will be that the congress has the
power to impose duties upon goods
passing between the United States and
its ext ra-ecnt inent al possessions, which
authority it may or may not exercise,
according to its judgment in each par
ticular ease. That precedent, would not
serve democratic purposes.—Albany
.Ton rnal.

RAILROADS VS. UNCLE SAM.
Western Linen Are In u Wrangle wltfc
the (internment Over tlie I'rlce to b«
■'nld f«r tarrying Troop*.
Chicago, March 22.—The Chronicle
pays: General passenger ageiuts of
tihe railroads operating in the terri
tory west of Chicago have become in
volvcd in a quarrel with the I'nited
States government, over the rate per
ticket to be paid for the movement of
soldiers to San Francisco en route to
•the Philippines. The government au
thorities are withholding nearly $175,-
000 demanded by the western roads
for the transportation of soldiers.
The troops were moved on orders from
the army department wind each man
was charged full tariff" rates, less the
deductions of the land grant, roads.
When the railroads asked for a set
tlement of the transportation bills the
treasury department demanded a rate
of two cents per mile, less than the
land grant deductions. The two-eent
per-mile rate is that given' to parties
of 20 or more traveling on one ticket,
and this applies only to organizations
traveling for the purpose of giving
entertainments, exhibitions and those
taking part in contests.
Officers of the railroads contended
that military business did not. come
under any of those heads, or that it
was not what is known in railroad
parlance as pa.rty business. The eomp
tro..er of the treasury then was ap
pealed to and he gave am opinion that
the railroads had no right to charge
the government any higher rates for
transporting its troops than they did
for carrying parties of private citi
zens.
Officers of the railroads appealed TO
their legal departments on the ques
tion and a special meeting of the gen
eral passenger agents and the attor
neys of the interested roads will be
held in Chicago to-day to hear these
opinions. If the railroad lawyers side
with the comptroller of Idle treasury
the 25 or more western roads that, car
ried the military business will be out
between $75,000 and SIOO,OOO. In addi
tion, if this opinion is allowed to
stand the western roads will be forced
to throw open their low party rates
to any party of 20 or more traveling
on one ticket or order.

Article I* Projected.
New York, March 22.—A story was
published here Wednesday that nego
tiations have reached a satisfactory
stage for the consolidation of all the
compressed air companies in this
country. These include the American
Air Power Co., of this city; the Hydro-
Pneumatic Storage Co., of Washing
ton; the Standard Power Storage Co.,
of Philadelphia; the Tramway Power
Storage Co., of Philadelphia: the In
ternational Power Storage Co., of
Washington; the New York Auto-
Truck Co. and several other corpora
tions operating in this state, Rhode
Island and West Virginia. It is inti
mated that the parei.t company will
be either the American Air Power Co.
or the International Power Co.. either
of which is supposed to pos.se.ss a sub
stantial amount of tangible assets.
Nothing is said about the capitaliza
tion of these companies, but it is as
serted that conferences are being held
to determine these and other details.
Inquiries among officials of the
American Air Power Co. in this city
elicited the admission that the consol
idation of the American Co. and the
Compressed Air Co.. of Chicago, will
shortly be announced. It was said by
the same parties, however, that they
had no knowledge of the proposed
general consolidation.

I IIIOIIH ( vnimrrce UII«L Politic*.
Chicago, March 22.—The sub-com
mittee of the congressional industrial
eommis-ion spent several hours on
AVednesday i" listening to the testi
mony of James L. Hoard, of the firm
of (i. A. Crosby & Co., metal working
machinery manufacturers. Mr. Hoard
was emphatic in the ojMnion that the
manufacturing' interests of Chicago
were being greatly retarded by labor
unionism. .Mr. Hoard said that he had
asked for police protection for liis
plant and workmen, but had been re
fused. Mr. Board said that the police
courts generally were intimidated by
the strike spirit prevailing among the
unions.
In answer to a question by Col.
Clark as to the probable result if the
labor troubles continue, Mr. Hoard said
that manufacturers would surely be
driven firoini Chicago to smaller towns.
He also said that trades unionism
placed a premium on inefficiency and
that labor leaders, from his experience
with them, were looking solely for
their own aggrandizement.
"The average American mechanic,"
said Mr. Hoard, "is nothing but an
overgrown boy."
J. H. Lucas, editor of the Hlack Dia
mond, the official paper of the anthra
cite and bituminous co* I trade, said
that an agreement existed between the
mine operators and the Miners' union
which was to the benefit of the men.
It had increased the price of coal 22
per cent., which Mr. Lucius admitted
came from the consumer.
Mr. Lucas said that, in his opinion,
truth's unionism was responsible for
the local business condition and that
lalvor leaders used the labor unions to
gain political advantage. He said la
bor oflieials should keep out of poli
tics. lie <Ii«l not think, however, the
same rule applied to attorneys of cor
porations in regard to their being
elected to congress.
A. Hisnow, formerly a walking dele
gate of the Cloakmakers' union, told
of the growth of organized labor, and
submitted a table showing that the
cost of food and living had increased
in two years, while wages had not in
creased in proportion. Mr. Hisnow
also defended the "walking delegate,"
saying the average business agent of
a labor union is proof against all ef
forts toward corruption, is not look
ing for personal gain and is a neces
sity to the interests of organized
labor.
From Levy Mayer, of Mora.n, Mayer
& .Mayer, came a sharp charge that
property owned by corporations was
not receiving due protection, either
from the legislature or from the
courts. "We are in the midst of a
hungry, rapacious rebellion against
those property rights owned by cor
poration". It is appalling to consider
recent judicial and legislative history.
The most idiotic* climax of the riot
ously wild course of the legislatures rs
the Illinois law of instead of
the poor not having equal protection
with if ■ rich before the law, it is now
the o.iicr way, as far as the corporate
property of the rich is concerned.
The courts are so -constituted that
they seem unable to give equal pro
tection to property. The situation
tends more and more to judicial rec
ognition of socialistic and communis
tic principles."
Mrs. ,1. S liobb. wife of a painter,
said: ".My husband was a member of
the union. One Sunday several years
ago he repaired a skylight during a
storm, to prevent damage to $7,000
worth of machinery. There was a
strike on and lie wi/s fined SIOO in a
'star chamber" session of the union.
Heing unable to pay it he was expell
ed. lie has been persecuted evetr since
and has earned only since last Oc
tobei. Neither union nor employer
will do anything for him. 11c has been
assaulted, beaten and maimed when
he attempted to work. The police had
their backs turned. I want the state
to annul the charters of all organiza
tions if they fail to comply with the
hi iv. We must have some protection.
The city administration will not give
us protection."
