The Constitution of Pennsylvania,
Says Ibe Hariiaburg Patriot, intends i
that the voter shall be permitted to cast ;
a tnorougniy secret ballot. Under ex
isting laws it is impossible for any voter
to conceal Trom the election tfheers lh
names upon bis ticket and the election
officers are generally not slow to com-
unicate this knowledge to interested
outsiders.
The secret ballot is one of the princi
pal tuuniments of free suffrage. Espec
ially is this the fact so far as the w.ge
worker, is concerned. It is a notorious
fact that the mine boss, the furnace
superintendent, the factory lord, to say !
nothing of other employers, make a j
practice of controlling the voteis in
meir employ and frequently visit their
displeasure upon tbem by dismissing
them from their service if they dare to
exercise an independent juJgment in
casting their ballots. The Australian
t-ftem of voting, which insures a per
fectly secret ballot, therefore commends
itself to all friends of free suffrage.
The Democratic S ate platform, on
which Hon. EJmur.d A. Bigler stands
as a candidate for State Treasurer en-
. . ,. i
doises the Australian ejbtem of voting. !
Mr Powderly, the chief of the Knigt
ief Of the KnigtlS I
of Labor, favors the Australian ballot.
Every wageworker, whatever bia poli
tics, naturally favors that sjs em.
2sext year a legislature to be chosen
and it the workingmeu of Pennsylvania
would impress the political parties of
the State that they desire the adoption
of the Australian btllct system they
should cist their votes for Mr. Bigler
on tbe ground that he is the only S ale

were they not acrostomeJ to medicine
or this sort. Quay has them so well
under bis heel that we do not bear a
whimper or complaint in the face of
nul.Ecation of an important law, in the
'business interest," to advance the po
litical and financial interests of the
riog.
This is the Humes law. passed dur
ing the Pattison administration, re
quiring that the lartre treasury balances
over and aboye a certain sum, ample
for the current wants of the Slate,
ehould be invested in State or United
States bonds, and returns therefrom
paid into the treasury.
Under Governor Pattison one million
of dollars was invested In this way, and
returned a profit to the State of 540.000
a year. When Beaver and a full Re
publican administration came into pow
er, on a very shallow pretense these
bonds were sold, and the amount rea
lized returned to the treasury In cash.
to be deposited in the favored backs of
the treasury ring, to be by them loaned
ac a profit. This was the very thing the
Humes law was designed to break up.
By this nuliflcation of the law the
interest on the ballance derived from
their perfectly safe investment in gov
erament bonds was lost to the taxpay
ers, but the treasury ring bandied the
money for its beutfp.
In the last Legislature, when an at
tempt was ma le to Investigate this law
less and corrupt proceeding specific
charges have been made the investiga
tion was defeated mainly by the efforts
of Speaker Bojer. For this service
Boyer has been rewarded with the nom
ination for State Treasurer, and if
elected will be the faithful ally of the
treasury ring.
It is computed if the Humes law had
beeu carried out, as Governor Pattison
compelled the Republican S-ate c fillers
to carry it out. the State would now be
in receipt from the earuings of its trea
eury balance of fJO,000 a year. Instead
of this, is is probably realizing the
treasury ring a much larger sum, as
the ring taks risks ic the use of State
money that command a larger rte of
interest than the returns from absolute
ly safe invtslments In Government
bonds.
On the 30 h day of July last there
were in the treasury of the Common
wealth Sl.13o.000. This is the untx.
pended balauce, the greater pait of
which should be invested in government
bonds as the Humes Uw directs.
The law Is nullified in the interest of
the treasury rir.g, and 3r. Dover is
nominated for State treasurer to con
tinue a lawless and corrupting policy.
If the the people elect Mr. Bigler
State treasurer they will see a speedy
reform. He is pledged to that, and bis
conceptions of public duty, as well as
the dictates of political expendiency,
will command a change from a lawless
aud corrupting policy to one in accor
dance with the will of the people, as de
clared in their legislation.
This is about ah the iaaue there is in
tie election of State treasurer. It is a
pretty big one, notwithstanding there is
very little noise aude about it.
A frightful accident happened at
Carnegie's Edgar Thompson Steel
Works at Braddock, on Thursday uight
of last week, by which Capr. William
R. Jones, general manager of the im

a workman were fatally burned and
several workmen badly injured.
Furnace ' C," one of the larsest of
the blast furnaces, gave way at the bot
tom and tons of molten metal, like
water escaping from a reservoir, rao
out. The furnace had not been working
properly during the day. and Capt.
Jones called to see if be could not ascer

a number of meu near the base of the
furnace when the break occurred. In
an instant Mimes of fire phot forth, and
the hot metal exploded and fell like
sheets of water. Tons of tte metal
poured out of the furnace, and that any

S.ate if it were once f ally exerted, con
Btilate two of the many dangers which
would result from the concession of
home rule That measure would al
most infallibly result in a declaration of
independence. Some of the Irish lead
ers may be quite sincere in declaring,
as they do w hen speaking on this s.de
of the water, that they have no such
scheme in their heads ; but their best
motive is tbeir desire to be a nation
with a separate career and without io
dependence they are not such a nation
The highest, and therefore in the long
run the most operative aspirations of
their people, would not be gratified by
liberty as a parish. England would al
ways be accused of intriguing, always
hated for her wealth, always suspected
of meditation invasion ; the causes of
friction would be en q less, and some of
tbem justly resented by the weaker side,
and in some impulsive hour the final
declaration would be made.
The vote once passed in Dublin, the
independence of Ireland would be recs
oguized by the American Union in a
wfiek. A hundred motives would in
duce the politicians ot Washington to
recommend that course, and the people,
after a moment of hesitation, would
accept the advice. They have never
quite forgiven England for recognizing
the belligerent rights of the South.
They have never forgotten that their
own freedom was in part owing to
rrencn assistance, and that their suc
cess has, nevertheless, rever in all the
subsequent time embarrassed France,
except, indeed, bv making her for a
moment think Lafayette a great man.
All the desire to give Great Britain a
lesson, which deflects American politics
before every Presidential eleetion. all
the aspiration to stretch the States over
the provinces of the Dominion to the
pole, all the anxieties of both parties to
rivet the Irish vote, and all the floating
impression of Irish suffering, would
tend together to induce the Union to
protect Ireland.
That would mean war with a State
stronger than onrselves. with 2.0OO.000
of allies, ready to die for her. living
inourowo streets, and with an inde
fensible territory, which vet must be
o-ienaed. stretching along her side.

A Failure After a Quarter Century.
The American manufacturer suffers
now for a market. He has the price he
asks for as fjr as the government can
interfere to aid him to obtain it. He
has the legislation he has sought. Yet
he finds himself with heavy surplus
s'ocks and smaller profits than ever.
He cats wages down and he tells his
workmen he cannot avoid it it is the
best thing he can do. Perhaps it Is.
under the policy he has chosen. But
suppose he had adopted another policy.
Suppoee. in accordance with the spirit
oflhease and the enlightment of an
intelligent eye to business, he had said :
"I will not confine my efforts to my
own country for a market. I will trade
with the world. I will rely upon my
advantage in possessing the richest na
tion, inhabited by the most intelligent
and capable people. I will not shut
myself up. as did mv Chinese prototype
of old, in it. but will take the chances
of these advantages which God and na
ture have given me, and will follow the
course that reason and enlightened civi
lization point out in preference to that
which both have exploded. I will sell
to those who want to buy the world
over and buy of tbem, if necessary, as
well." Is it to be supposed that under
these conditions the American manufac
turer would be helpless to-dy in the
presence of an accumulating surplus of
goods and the heaviest tariff of the age

The difference between the Democra
tic and Republican piitieaon the ques
tion of fixation is not a difference be
tween 47 and 40 per cent., which is a
mere matter ot detail, nor a question
between a prohibitory tariff on one side
and free trade on tbe other, which is a
mere academic discussion, of no inter
est to practical men. But it is a dif
ference that lies at the very root of all
government, a question upon which it
depends whether our Government shall
be of the people, for ti e people, and by
the people, or a Government of all the
people by a verv few of the people for
an extremely limited class of the peo
ple. The Republican party says that
taxes are blessings, and tbe more the
people of a nation are taxed Individual
ly, trie more prosperous the nation is as
a whole. Tbe Democratic partv de
Clares thtt taxes are burdens, and the
lees we Dave of them the better, and
that the idea of enriching the whole
community by taking property In
minute quantities from a great many
people and giving it in large quantities
to a few people is simple rubbish. Six
ty million dollars in one one man's
pocket is a very imposing evidence of
his prosperity, but the nation would be
belter off if each one of CO.OOO.OOO peo
ple had a dollar in bis pocket, although
it is true that the $00,000 000 would
not make much show when divided up.
Undoubtedly it makes money circulate
to take it out of one pocket and put it
into the other, but thai does'nt make
the whole amount any greater. And so
it makes it circulate to take it from one
man and give it to another, but the
process does not bless the man it is tak
en from. National Democrat.
