THE WASHINGTON SUNDAY GAZETTE
ASSERTS AS MUCH,
BEAVERS STORE ORDERS,
The Harrisburg Patriot says General
Beaver bas undertaken to defend the
store order business in which his Belle-
fonte firm has been indulging. But h's
defense is not a satisfactory one. It con-
sists in a denial and evasion, but unfor-
tunately for General Beaver neither the
one nor the other will serve his purpose.
The coupon “is not a store order, having
not a single element of the obnoxious
store order system,” the General re-
marks, and then he adds that he is him-
self oposed to the store order system as
any man can be.
The Republican candidate seems to de-
pend largely on the credulity of the pub-
lic. The trade coupon which the firm
uses reads on its face “Trade Coupon,
Twenty-five cents (or other sum) Good
for face value in Trade to Party Holding
this Registered Number. Not Transfer
able.” The law which forbids the issue
of store orders defines them as any “or-
der or other paper money whatsoever,
unless the same purports to be redeema-
ble for its value in lawful money of the
United States, bearing interest at legal
rates made payable to employer or bear-
er and redeemable within a period of
thirty days by the firm, company, cor-
poration or association giving, making
or issuing the same.” Will General
Jeaver assert that his trace coupons are
not a direct violation of the law that for-

* THE BUSINESS BOOM.
The Democratic State platform of
Pennsylvania says: “The Democratic re-
form admistration of President Cleave-
land has given confidence to the busi-
ness interests of the country.”
Despite the silly Republican partisan
attacks, every sign of the times goes to
show that this is so.
The New York Times (Rep.) of a very
recent date says “If there is any cloud
anywhere in the financial sky it maoa-
ges very thoroughly to hide itself.
There has been no hint of it in the past
week. Trade is booming; merchants
are crowded by custom, and manufactor-
jes are driven to fill orders booked far
ahead; every man who wants work can
have it, and every dollar not locked up
is showing an earning power. The far-
mers of the South and West have crops
that pay for the first time in years; the
railroads in all their history have never
been called upon to handle such a vast
traffic. Illustrations of the increased
earnings of the railroads of the country
were given last week. The same state
of things continues, with but the one
difference that the percentage of increase
is even now larger than then. The re-
sult is unprecedented. The prosperity

are thus defined? If he does, he must
be affceted with a mental malady that
would disqualify him from holding any
office or transacting any business.
General Beaversays that the Trade
Coupons were introduced by his firm at
the request of the men em ployed. This
is as strong a draft on credulity asthe oth-
er. What likelihood is there that men
who are getting cash payments with the
privilege of drawing cash advances at
pleasure, would ask for a store order,
trade coupon or any other that
might be used as an instrument of op
pression? whatever. It is the
natural desire of men to get money in
compensation for wages, to the end that
they may disburse the proceeds of their
labor to the best advantages. When
Geneaal Beaver indulges in such improb-
able stories as this he simply misrepre-
sents the facts, with intent fo deceive
the public, and adds another offense to
the crime against the law and the men
that he has commitied.

PENNSYLVANIA INDUSTRIES.
The annual report on Pennsylvania
industrial statistics has just been issued.
The several steam railway companies
have reported 79,210 employes. Ninety-
eight industries reported 451.987
ployes to whom $182.980 624 were paid
in wages,
employed was 257 and the average week-
ly wages was §7. The value of all the in-
dustries is placed at 8537 678,672. The
value of blast furnaces is $22,250 902; rol-
ling mills is $13,851,848; Bessemer steel
works, $20,105,220; crucible steel works,
§7,787,200; foundry and machine works,
$10,420,197; oil refineries, $l 5,001,153;
flouring mills, $7,812,113; saw mills, 811 .-
949,122; morrocco establishment, $6,267,
788: boots and shoes, 85925808; tanner-
ies, $23,008 870; breweries, $13,134,450,
The total amount of annual wages was
paid to a greater pumber of employes
than has been reported. The number of
employes in each industry only
seated the average number employed
during the year, whilst the wages paid
per annum in each industry was divided
among all persons employed whether
for a long or short period.
1f full and accurate allowance could be
made for the proportion of wages paid
to persons not returned among the aver-|
age employed, the pro rata share of all!
would be much less than what is shown)

astrously than any other industry, For
years the farmers have been appealing
to the Republican party, the dominant
power in the State, for relief from the
burdens which existing conditions im-
pose, but their petitions have been fu-
tile and fruitless.
The nomination of Chauncy F. Black
for Governor by the late Democratic
State Convention has pointed the way to
the farmers to get the justice they have
been begging for. He is in accord with
them in all the questions that concern
their welfare, Without restricting a sin-
gle legitimate right of the corporations
he would hold them rigidly to the re-
quirements of the constitution and the
law. Ilis theories of taxation are in the
direction of equality, and his election
will be the first step toward the relief of
the agricultural interests.

Within the last six weeks coal has
been advanced 35 cents a ton, and the
pooling arrangements of the railroads
have assured them satisfactory profits,
while the wages of men who dig the
coal, in danger and amid privations,
bave not been increased a penny.
If the helpless consumers must pay
millions in tribute to the coal kings, is it
too much to ask that the miners be giv-
en their share of the advanced price?

When a fearless newspaper editor ex-
poses the evil doings of a corrupt trim-
mer, there is always some henchmen to
cry, “hush, that's too personal.” It was
very “personal” in the Times to expose
the corrupt practices of Mayor Smith,
but a mighty good eye opener for the
people. No political scamp can be ex-
posed by a newspaper without it being
‘personal’ to the party accused, and then
his henchmen would crash the editor
for being personal,
