Advices by the Northern Pacific
steamship Victoria, from Hong Kong,
pay that cholera is spreading through
out the Chinese Empire and that the
government officials are suppressing the
number of deaths. In Canton alone
Chiuamen say that 40,CHH deaths have
ut -curred.
Pkesidnt Dkiss and Secretary Keliher,
of the American railway union, were ar
retted iu Chicago Tuesday afternoon
and linlged in the Cook county jail for
contempt of the injunction by judges
Woods aud Grobseup restraining them
from combining and conspiring to hin

Foi'R soldiers were killed, two fatally
injured and eight wounded in Chicago,
on Monday, by the explof-ion of the
ammunition in the caisson of a Hotch
kissgan, during a parade on the Gjand
lioulevard. The men all belonged to
the Second Regiment; U. S. Artillery,
aud Seventh Cavalry. In addition to
the troojis, six civilian were injured by
Hying projectiles.
A hi"sikki farmers of Chester county
have agreed, at the suggestion of Geo.
K. Hoojes, to sow rye instead of whet
for next season. The rye will be grown
for the ex K-rt trade. The Philadelphia
Lujiiin, says: "The movement will
doubtless liecome general in Pennsyl
vania. It is folly for Pennsylvania to
iciinjHte with the west at anything like
the present prices of wheat."
The Uuited States has made represen
tations to China and Japan calculated to
Settle the Korean troubles if the two
countries desired iti? good offices. It is
understood that both Japan aud China
are satisfied that the United States may
be depended uion to do full justice to
all concerned and the prospect for a
speedy and peaceable conclusion of the
controversy is excellent. The rumor
that Japan had taken offense at the so
called interference of the United States
is declared to be utterly groundless.
Is Pennsylvania in there were
labor strikes of more or less magni
tude, which was twice the number of
the preceding year. The strikers were
successful in but one instance. The
moral is, don't strike on a falling mark
et, when business is dull and prices are
dei lining. Of the 53 strikes only six
were for an increase of wages, while 34
were against reductions in wages. The
chief of the bureau of statistics at Har
risburg estimates the loss of wages by
the strikes to have been $1,3115,423.
Patrick Eigene Pkenderijast is dead
and the murder of Mayor Carter Harri
son, of Chicago, is avenged. All efforts
of his counsel to have his senten-e re
spited failed and at 11:45 on Friday last
Prendergast appeared on the scaffold,
though without apparent nervousness.
He seemed to die game and looked
calmly at the crowd below. At 11 :4S he
6hot downward and nine minutes after
was pronounced dead. He made no
audible sound from the time he left his
cell and bade his spiritual advisors and
guards adieu, with a low, choking
voice. He was disuaded from making
a speech by Sheriff Gilliert.
The bill for the admission of Utah
into the Union has become a law, or
will as soon as the president signs it.
New Mexico and Arizona will also be
admitted by this congress and this will
increase the number of states to 47, and
the number of senators in congress to !4.
Oklahoma will le the only remaining
organized territory and it is a question
of but a few years when it will be ad
mitted. How the star of empire has
taken its Might westward is shown by
the fact that 50 years ago there were
but '26 states in the Union, and of this
number only three, Louisiana, Missouri
and Arkansas, were west of the Mississ:
piriver. With the present plan of state
making completed, as indicated, theie
will be 47 states, and of this number 21
states will be west of the Mississippi and
2 east of the river. Alaska is not in
cluded in this calculation, as it will be
many years l-fore it is prepared for the
responsibilities of statehood.
Pension Agent Skinner has forward--d
his annual report for the year ended
June 30 to Washington. It contains
some interesting figures. The total
amount paid ensionkrs was $o,5'.l,
140, IS, and it was received by 43.774
pensioners. The number of pensioners
dropped from the rolls during the year,
mostly on account of death, was 2,178.
The largest pension paid is to Daniel
Fuller, who receives $100 a month,
lie had both his arms shot off, and, it
is said, he signs his receipts with a pen
held between two toes. There are yet
two daughters of revolutionary soldiers
on the rolls: Susanna Cbadwick of Cam
eron county, and Sarah C. Hurlbutt, of
Chatham Valley, Tiogo county. One
receives $25 a month and the other 112.
There is one 1812 pensioner, Daniel
Miekley, of Waynesboro, Franklin
county on the rolls. There are 144
Mexican war survivers, 110 widows of
Mexican veterans, three survivors of
Indian wars, and five widows of Indian
war veterans. The number of pension

FEwpeople have the time, inclination
and opportunity to make a study of the
intricate subject of tariff; but nearly
every one has a general idea of the dif
ference between free trade and protec
tion. The thirteen paragraphs below fur
nished his readers by H. Martin Wil
liams, in the Permann Ledger, is the
whole subject in a nut shell.
We reproduce them and urge every
voter to cut out the list and snve it for
future reference put it in the bible, in
the clock, in your notebook, anywhere
so you can find it. If you live you will
certainly have occasion to refer to it dur
ing the next two years, for the next
presidential campaign in this country is
to be a campaign of argument and rea
son. People who do not think are not
in mind and not included in this invi
tation to save this article:
1. That laud and lalxir are the pri
mary factors in the production of all
wealth, and that without them no
wealth, ever has been or ever can le
produced.
2. That the present jopulation of the
United States cannot p -ssibly consume
more than one half the food products
raised in this country, and that a mark
et for the surplus must It found in for
eign countries.
3. That there can lie no market found
for our surplus products unless we take
in exchange therefor, other products of
equal value from other countries.
4. That England will not take a car
go of wheat from us unless we take a
cargo of English goods of equal value iu
return for it.
5. That the money of this country is
not money in other countries,- it is only
a commodity.
6. That the money of foreign coun
tries is not the money iu this country;
it is only a commodity.
7. That a tariff for the "protection of
American lalor" does not prevent the
"paujier lntor'' of other countries from
swarming to our shores aud being em
ployed by our protected manufacturers,"
to the exclusiou of our own protected
workmen.
S. That a protective tariff enables the
American manufacturer to pay higher
wages, but does not compel him to.
He takes advantage of free trade every
time.
That wages are from 50 to KM.) per
ceut higher in "free trade England"
than they lire in the continental coun
tries of Europe which have all the man
ifold blessing of a high protective tariff.
10. That, measured by the standard
of production, which is the only correct
standard by which wages can be meas
ured, American labor is the cheapest
and poorest paid labor on earth.
11. That the Uuited States had its
periods of greatest prosperity when the
tariff was lowest, and its jieriods of
greatest financial depression when the
tariff was hignest,
12. That the element of free land or
cheap land must always e taken into
consideration when discussing question
of wages.
13. That wages in the United States
are higher than iu the old countries of
Europe, because land is chea'ier and
more plentiful and population sparser.
The number of people to the square
mile in Belgium is 451; in England,

President Ci.evei.ani, says the Phila
delphia Rtxttrd, pricked the strike bub
ble when he issued his dissuasive proc
lamation. The great mass of the work
ingmen of the United States are loyal
sons of the Republic. They have no
sympathy with Anarchism. The mo
ment they are made to understand that
their Incompetent and blundering lead
ers are leading them head on against
the tlag and against the government
they can be relied upon to face aUnit
aud retrace their steps.
There is no country in the world where
there is less reason for libor disorders
than in the United States. The lalon r
always holds in his own hand the power
to remedy whatever wrong he may suf
fer if it be a wrong for which there is any
legal reparation. In the ballot lies the
power of correction not in Iels, nor
Oompers, nor Sovereign, nor in strikes,
nor boycotts, nor insurrection.
The telegraphic news printed this
morning from all parts of the country
indicates that the body of striking work
ingmen haye resumed possession of their
right minds. Th strike is in process of
collapse. Nothing remains but to pick
up ttie pieces, pay damages, and fall to
work in repairing losses that in the end
will fall heaviest upon labor itself. The
lives lost, the property destroyed, the
shame put upon the nation, make a
heavy accounting; but, even so, if this
experience shall bring to an end the in
sensate folly of attempting to right one
wrong by doing a thousandfold more
injuries, something will have been
gained.
A hard nut truth, demonstrated by
the great coal strike now breaking away
liefore the acceptances of the new scale
of prices, exists in the fact that the tar
iff on soft coal has not had the least
effect on the pay of the miner. Those
who defended the exhorbitant duty and
tax claimed that it was necessary for the
protection of the miners and would en
able the oierator8 to pay American
wages. But the operators have never
done anything of the sort. Instead,
they have added the 75 cents a ton duty
to the customary profit and in no way
allowed the miner to share in the gov
ernment subsidy, not a penny going
into the channels intended. On the
contrary, the operators paid the lowest
wages possible, and now pay the highest
wages simply because they cannot do
otherwise. This tariff picture covers
all other forms of the tariff robbery and
jobbery. Heavily protected employers
of labor take the protection just as they
do the profits from any commercial ven
ture, and the consumer pays the price
the tariff sets as the cost figure of what
he never gets.
Washington Letter.
Washington. 1). C, July 14, 1S94.
President Clevelaud and his cabinet are
almost swamped with telegrams from
every section of the country congratula
ting them on the promptness with which
they have brought order out of chaos
aud prevented what at one time looked
like it might be a revolution, and vol
unteering aid to any imaginable extent,
in both men and money. The presi
dent aud his advi-ers believe that the
worst is over, but they none the less feel
proud of the confidence reosed in them
bv congres.- and the people and will con
tinue their efforts to deserve that con
fidence. It is Speaker Richardson now, if you
please, Representative Richardson, of
Tennessee, having been elected speaker
pro tern of the iiouse during the absence
of Speaker Crisp, who has been called to
Georgia by the serious illness of his
brother.
The Democrats of the tariff conference
committee have held daily meetings this
week, and the air is full of rumers each
contradictory of the other as to what
they have done. These rumors are
nothing more than guesses as memlers
of the conference will have nothing to
say until they report to their respective
houses.
Hail the situation not leen entirely
too grave and important to be laughed
at the silly talk of Messrs Hayes, Mc
Guire and French, members of the ex
ecutive committee of the Knights of
Lalor, who are in Washington this week,
about leginning impeachment pioceed
ings against Attorney General Oiiiey.be
cause of the arrest of Dels, would have
been regarded as a juke. As it is, it
merely gave the intelligent public an op
portunity to gauge Hie calilier of the
men who control a once powerful and
inllueutia! organization and to wonder
how they ever managed to get their au
thority and how long the organization
can stand the use they are making of it.
Senator Daniel, of Virginia, in addi
tion to U'ing a state's right Democrat of
the siaiiiichest sort is known among
lawyers as an authority upon Constitu
tional law. His resolution (offen-d as a
sulstitute to the s.Miii-anarchist resolu
offered by senator Peffer, of Kan., and
supported by the Populist senator in one
of the most otitrigeous sjeeches ever
made in the senate iu which the abolition
of Congress and the transfer of authority
to a committee composed of one member
from each state was advocated), endors
ing President Cleveland anil his admin
istration fur the prompt and vigorous
measures taken "to repulse and repress
by military force the interference of law
less men with the due process of the laws
of the United States, and with com
merce among the states" and declaring
that "the action of the president and his
administration has the full sympathy
and support of the law abiding masses of
the people of the Unit-d States, and will
be supported by all departments of the
government and by the ower and re
sources of the entire nation," would
have leen immediately adopted by a
nearly unanimous vote of the senate as
it was the next day only Peffer voting
against it had not Senator Gallinger, of
N. H., for some unexplained reason
caused it to go over a day under the
rules by objecting to a vote thereon and
refusing to withdraw the objection al
though he w is begged to do so by his
Regublican colleagues. Speaking of the
situation Senator Daniel said: "I am a
State's right Democrat, and would le the
last man to stand idly bv and see the
authority of the state encroached upon,
but I fail to see anything here that en
croaches upon the authority of the state
of Illinois iu any way. The president is
acting entirely within tiie lines of the
constitution, and his action is to lie
commended by all law abiding citizens,
regardless of their political predication
or partisan feeling. "
This is the way the situation looks to
Senator Davis, of Minn., the Republican
whose raking down of Pefter will not
soon be forgotten: "I have looked into
this matter as a lawyer, anil my judg
ment is that the president has gone
about his business as a lawyer. He has
considered his ground, become acquaint
ed with his authority and powers, and
then gone to exercise them in a right
eous cause and for the good of the
general public. He has not exceeded
his power one whit; on the contrary, he
has not as yet exhausted it. If the
Federal trios are not sufficient for this
emergency the state milita is at his com
mand. The president can swear the
militia of the various states into the ser
vice of the United States, and then send
them to Chicago or any other H"mt
where their mobilization may become
necessary. The constitution is broad
enough in this case, and the president
is entrenched to it." m.
Choked His Wife to Heath.
I.atrole, Julr 17. John McCune, an
Irishman, murdered his wife at the
Whitney Coal Works near here last
night by choking her to death. He
si-nt the most of yesterday in Youngs
town drinking whisky. His wife's
mother was visiting them, and was go
ing home today. Mrs. McCune was
helping her to pack, and had occasion to
go into the riom where her husband
was sitting. For some reason or other
he knocked her down, and, catching her
by the throat choked her until life was
extinct. A daughter, in trying to help
her mother, was struck in the face and
had one of her fingers bitten almost off
by her infuriated father. A deputy ar
rested McCune and took him to jail at
Greenshurg. When placed under ar
rest he said, "There is one more to
kill."
Riot at the Morrell Works.
Connellsville, July 17. A riot occur
red at the Morrell works of the Cambria
Coke company late last night, in which
an unknown Italian was seriously
wounded. Imported men are working
at Morrell and the strikers have been
trying to induce them to quit. Last
night a crowd of strikers overtook a
number of the new men on their way to
work and attempted to talk to them. A
number of deputy sheriffs ordered the
Strikers away. One of the strikers fired
a shot from his revolver, which was
answered by a voley from the deputies.
Oue of the strikers, an Italian, was shot
through the legs. Another retort says
that three of the strikers were killed,
but there is no evidence to that effect,
A Cyclist's Blow.
Erie, Pa., July If.. D. D. Turner, a
wealthy farmer of Green township, lies
dying to night with a crushed skull, and
Thinney Bouncy, who inflicted the in'
jury, is in jail. lionney, while return
ing home on his bicycle Sunday even
ing, ran into Turner's vehicle, and then
accused Turner of U-ing a "road hog."
A short time after the collision Turner
came up where Bonney was having his
wheel, which had been broken in the
collision, repaired, and jumping out of
his buggy made an attack on Bonney.
The latter defend.nl himself with au iron
bar, which felled his assailant with a
blow.

M Titers fseize a Irani
San Francisco, July 10 The South
ern Pacific railway company, backed by
the combined military forces of the fed
eral and state governments, continues to
maintain a fairly satisfactory passenger
service in northern California. But not
withstanding this formidable militarx
array the railroad officials have been un
able to retrieve the lost management ol
their freight business. The passenger
service, too, is by no means restored,
fur trains are still side-tracked at night
time as a precautionary meisjre against
train wreckers.
In Oakland, this morning, the strik
ers formed into several riotous mols of
2tK or 300 men each. All incoming
and outgoing passenger trains were so
strongly guarded that they were not in
terfered with, but the fury of the mot
fell u)on the section men the strikers
were able to waylay going to and from
work. Several times the trootis were
called out to disperse the rioters. Short
ly after noon a freight was started from
the yards on the Mole. At the Seventh
street croesing the non union men in
charge found themselvesat the mercy of
a mob of strikers. A striker had man
aged to climb aboard and cut the air
brake. The train was stalled and the
rioters, who were soon swarming about.
had drawn all the coupling pins. Then
a troop of cavalry and a company of in
fautry came down upon the mob.
The cavalrymen used their sabers aad
clubtted with their pistois, and foot sol
diers prodded freely with their bayonets.
In the struggle two shots were fired by
the soldiers, though no bne was hit.
The strikers were finally put to flight.
A numler of tle rioters sought refuge
in the cottage of a Striker. The soldiers
thought no one was hit. The strikers
were finally put to flight.
A number of the rioters sought refuge
in the cottage of a striker. The soldiers
followed, raided the house, and arrested
several of the rioters, of whom a num
ber were cut and wounded. The train
was run into a side track and abandoned.
After this soldiers going ou trains as
guards, were given ositive orders to
shoot any one who attempted to inter
fere with any train. Finally a freight
was sent out guarded by alout 0(K) of
the military.
Driring Kelly's Army.
A Wheeling telegram says: Sheriff
Francheim and a force of deputies start
ed to take Kelly's army out of the coun
ty to-day. When they reached Triadel
phia, on the road to Pittsburg, the ar
my refused to go any farther. The men
began to cut clulJ, and things looked
warlike. The sheriff telephoned to the
city for police, and a Squad was made
up and sent out to his assistance.
When the jiolice arrived the army was
forced to move. At last accounts the
officers were driving the army along the
national road, and it is the intention to
escort it to the county line, near West
Alexander.
A Cast-Iron Pledge Uemanded.
San Francisco, July 17. A cast iron
pledge is required by the Southern Paci
fic from every striker who desires to re
enter its services. Each repentant ap
plicant is required to sign a promise that
lie will sever his connection with the A.
R. V., that he will not join any lalor
organization during the period of his
employment by the company, and that
he will not become a memler of any
brotherhood or Union for five years.
('mmaiilrsllon.
Carrolltown, Pa., July loth, is;4.
En. Fkkkman: On May 1st in llie
course of some remarks ou the labor ques
tion I said that the cause of the great
social problems, the enormously unequal
distriuution of wealth aud of so much
poverty in a land of plenty, island monop
oly, and that this state of affairs could te
cured by untaxing lalior and labor pro
ducts and processes and instead taxing
nothing but land value exclusive of im
provement?., w hich "Vould prevent monop
oly of natural resources, give lalxir access
to land and secure to the laborer the full
value of his toil.
The next issue of the Fiskeman contain
ed a letter sinned J. M., trying to ridicule
"that single tax idea" by an illustration
that simply illustrated the fact that the
vriter of it did not understand the "idea"
in question. He has since persisted In.
calling it a dangerous doctrine and gave a
theory of a graduated land tax w hich he
savs would answer the purpose much bet
ter. As a basis he lays down these proposi
tions: '"However much political econo
mists mav talk of high tariff, low tariff, or
absolute free trade as a panacea fwr the
present business depression, the over
shadowing problem id the land question.
The home.-tead of the toiler is at once the
bulwark of political, social and economic
freedom. As the world was created for all
it is by right a common heritage."
Any one who calls the Henry George
theory a dangerous doctrine either does
not believw in the above principle or he
does not know w hat he flippantly charac
terizd as dangerous.
J. M. says: "Each individual is en
dowed by the fact of nis existence with the
right to the free use of so much of God's,
earth as is sufficient for him to provide by
his labor, either mental or manual or both
a Mifliciency of the necessaries aud com
forts of civilized life for himself and those
of right dependent on him."
Suppose there should not be laud enough
in a community lo go around at this rate,
would the last comers be disinherited? Or
if there should be more than enough, to
whom would the surplus belong?
Henry George says: "All men have
equal rights to the use of the earth " Let
there be a sufficiency, a scarcity or abund
ance, all have equal rights to what there
is of it. Yet this is the "dangerous doc
trine which is captivating the minds of
many intelligent men."
Criticising the single tax platform: "All
men are equally entitled to the use of the
earth. Therefore no one should be per
mitted to hold land without paying to the
community for the privilege thus accord
ed." 1 answer: If all men have equal
rights to the use of the land, they have
equal rights to every part of the land,
hence If any one is granted exclusive pos
se:.sion of any part of it he thus gets a
privilege for the value of which he should
pay the community.
Now if each one w ho holds land does
this and the fund so raised is used for the
expenses or the government aud other
purposes for w hich taxes are now raised,
justice will be done to all concerned, the
equal rights of all w ill he maintained.
The right of property is based on the
right of the individual to himself. If a
man is a slave he caiu.ot owu properly for,
whatever be produces belongs to his mas
ter. But if a uiau is free, owns himself.
-
whatever he produces on laud to lik li lie
has free access, is his property right a
against all the world, aud no one lias a
right to deprive liiin of it. Our pre.-cnt
politics economic system ignores this
principle of private property, as well as
the principle of the eijual rights of all men
to the use of the earth becaus.. it makes
private property of land thus making it
irotitahle for speculators to hold land out
of use, until laboi i- compelled to yield up
its fruits for the privilege of aeces to it.
invades the domain of private property for
the means to pay the common, community,
expenses.
This is just where our lalnir troubles
sprang from. The real enemy of lalxir is
not legitimate capital which in its prop
er sphere is the helpmate f htlMir, but
landlordism private proeriy- in land -which
enables this helpmate to transform
itself into an absolute master and cruel
oppressor. This is why every lalxr-sa -iug
device iiecomes. iuMead of a blessing.
only a curse to further oppress lalior.
It is very important that this great truth
should le perceived iu time by all well
meaning people, before the lalwir organiza
tions in the.r Miod furv bring ou a terril le
revolution which nuy turn the tide of true
civilization backward a few cent uric-;, only
perhaps lo repeat this cruelly '.iiijnsl sys
tem where the few under the forms of law
oppress the many iu their bitter struggle
for subsistence w here under nat ural con
ditions all could live easily in peace aud
plenty.
Any one reading J. M.'s article may
readily see the chaotic stale of the ideas
explessed. He says "each oue shoult. have
a sufficiency of laud free. Wc would
not put a tax on industry or improve
ments." Again: "All land is to pay au
equitable rate on a fair valuation." Then
he goes -in lo defend the protective tariff
system. What is tin; taritf hut a lax ou
trade, aud what is trade but iudiistrv?
How anyone who is for reform iu t lie
direction of freedom aud human rights can
advocate a protective or any other kind of
a tan IT is a puzzle.
A tariff for levenue is bad enough. The
idea of raiMng the revenues by laving peo
ple indirectly ou their expenses instead of
ou their incomes iu somedirect form seems
not only riiliculous but positively cruelly
unjust, especially on the pi Mir w hose w hole
income does not sutlice lo keep tlieui iu
comfort. lint a protective tariff which iu
addition to the alxive actually gives the
favored ones the Miwer of laying tribute
on the people for I heir ow n private enrich
ment is au attomiualiou of iniquity. We
See a result of this monstrosity in the
manner in which the trusts are keeping
their greedy grip on the throat of legila
tiou in our present congress.
The idea of a free people being Jeprived
of free trade or free any thing ele that is
mortally lawful, is so preposterous that it
admits of no explanation except that it is
susta'iied by the avarice of the few and
the ignorance of the many.
J. M. says the tariff raises wages. Let
lis set. A funnel raises one hilliured
liusheN of wlieat. takes it to Europe and
sells it for one hundred dollars. II.- -p.-ins
fifty dollars for supplies for his family.
When he arrives at his native shore he is
met by au officer w ho collects fifty dollars
off him as tariff. This is the way the
tariff raises the farmer's wages.
What n inseii-e to talk of protecting
.'alior by a tariff on products, while the
gales are open to the tuimigraiil.
The protection that labor wants is to
take aw ay the barrier of land monopoly
which shuts out labor except at the terms
of those who ow n the earth with ail its
treasures. This is all that lalior needs,
and Ibis the single tax will give.
His assertion that the single tax would
put the burden on the farmer is too trans
parent to need answering.
The farmer is taxed now ou his laud, his
house, his barn, his implements, the cloth
ing and food for his fan. i y. his stock, the fer
tilizer he puts on his soil, iiis fence, not
only for government uses but for the en
richment of trusts and other monopolistic
corporations, aud w.ieii he is taxed to death
his poor wiiiow will lie taxed for the very
nails iu his coffin. The single tax would
relieve him of all these except a tax on th"
bare value of the land exclusive of all im
provements. The laud value is not found
chiefly among the farmers but in the cities
where one acre is worth thoiisaiitis of
