FREELAND, DECEMBER 27, 1880.
GEORGE W. THEOBE of Kentucky, '
who stumped Luzerne County against j J
Hon. John Lyncli in 1888, was ap j ,
pointed to a si(ioo clerkship at Wash- j
ington this week. This is the ill j
gotten reward an alleged Knight of '
Labor receives for his treachery.
SPEAKER REED of the house of repre- J
sentatives has appointed Congress- ,
man Osborne as a member of the
committee on labor for this session of
Congress. All bills pertaining to
labor will, no doubt, receive very 1
little consideration from a man who 1
threatened to give workingmen bullets

eland, in addi
l-fashioned as I
ch they now
—ua afflicted with
.uc grip" of epidemic influenza which
lias been causing so much sneezing j
and lamentation in Europe and some
parts of America, the market for
pocket handkerchiefs nnd quinine is !
likely to he brisk for the next few j
weeks.
LAST week the miners of the Read
ing Company were notified that two- j
thirds time would prevail until further
notice. Now, according to every day
Republican logic and reasoning, why !
not put the elixir of life into this in
dustry by placing 40 or 50 per cent,
duty on anthracite coal. They claim !
that every other trade is benefitted i
by a tariff and why is the miner j
slighted ?
WE came very near having two 1
clear days in succession. On Satur
day the weather was exceptionally
fine, and Sunday there was a delight
fully clear atmosphere in the after
noon, but the morning was misty nnd
damp. The year of storms will soon
be over, however, and possibly 1800
may have f one better weather to offer
than that to which we have become
accustomed.
HENRY W. GRADY, editor of the
Atlanta Constitution, a most eloquent
orator and brilliant journalist, died at
Atlanta on Monday. He was the
recognized leader of the New South
and with voice and pen labored inces
santly for the advancement of its
people. All conceded to him a great
future, and to be enlled away so sud
denly at the ago of 38 was a surprise
to the nation.
A DESPERATE attempt is being made
by Calvin S. Brice to buy, from the
Ohio legislature, a seat in the United I
States senate. The only claim that
entitles him to become a member of
that once honored institution is the
fact that he is a railroad magnate, 1
millionaire nnd monopolist. The
Democratic press of the country, ,
headed by the N~. World, is fight
ing him tooth and nail, and his
chances of joining the American Plu
tocratic Club are growing beautifully
less.
WHAT is needed just now is a big,
full-grown blizzard. If the weather
continues warm the effect will he a j
dull coal trade and a repetition of the
past year, the worst that has been felt j
for many years. If the approach of
the gulf stream towards the Atlantic ;
coast is in any manner responsible |
for such a state of affairs, and is likely
to continue to interrupt trade, it wiil i
he necessary to reorganize business j
generally on an entirely new basis, j
Let us hope the beginning of the new
year w ill inaugurate a change for the
better.
That's What's Eating the Furmcr.
The Faston Express says that the I
sheriff of Northampton County sold '
eleven properties on Saturday, seven I
being farms and the rest business con- ,
cerns and smaller properties. The j
sheriff of Lehigh County sold out five :
farmers last week and will sell out a
number more this week. In other coun-!
ties farmers are equally unfortunate. I
The fact that two-thirds of the number
sold out by the sheriff are farmers is not '
accident. There is a cause for it all, ;
which produces results as naturally as
night follows day. That the farmers
are suffering an unjust discrimination
that the law makes against them is I
apparent from tin; fact that they are not
doing well now when the iron and other
industries are picking up. What the |
farmer needs is cheaper clothing, cheap- j
er implements and cheaper necessaries !
of life; besides these taxes, he pays too j
high a tax on bis farm, which is over- I
valued both in the real estate market j
and by the assessor, A farmer pays j
more tax in proportion to bis net income !
than does anybody else.
And yet the farmer is always the last '
person to enlist in any reform move- '
ment, even when it is bound to benefit'
him. But it must be said to his credit'
that when he does make a start he sel
dom stops till he gets there. If the
Express can succeed in opening the
farmer's eyes to this great injustice of
unnecessary taxation we will be pre
pared for a new era of all-around pros-
Beware or tlio Policy of Corniest.
In a recent speech in the West Gen
eral Sherman said that he should prob
-1 ably never make another public address.
| But he was mistaken, for he made a
speech—and a very good one, too—on
I Friday at the New York Chamber of
| Commerce reception to the Pan-Ameri
can delegates. It was notable for this
reason, that, though a soldier by profes
sion, he argued against further extension
of the territory of the United States.
While much is being said nowadays, in
the press and by public men, about the
annexation of Canada, the purchase of
Cuba, and the raising of the American
flag in some of the islands of the Pacific
Ocean, and while some are dreaming of
the possibility of the United States ex
tending over the entire continent of
North America, it is interesting to listen
to this man of wiyr speaking words of
peace, and inyeiglung against all ideas
of conquest. "This country," he said,
"needs no more territory. I think 42
states is about all one nation can take
care of." lie spoke of Canada and
Meixco as countries which must "work
out their own salvation." General
Sherman is right. Canada and Mexico
have the example of the United States
before them if they wish to improve, as
nations. This subject of the annexation
of Canada, the purchase of Cuba, and
the dreams of some who would have a
a grand amalgamation of American coun
tries, it may be noticed, eminatc almost
wholly from Republicans—that is, from
I men who are Republicans because they
believe in the teachings and the ten
j dency of that party, which has always
! been and always will be drifting towards
: a centralization of power. History
j teaches that upon this very rock great
! nations have already perished, and bis
| tory will repeat itself to the sorrow of
the United States of America if this
I policy of conquest is carried out. There
is no necessity for even the consideration
I of the scheme and the United States
I would have nothing to gain and all to
lose if the experiment might be tried.
General Sherman's speech should be
digested by those aspiring statesmen
who are endeavoring to head this great
annexation movement. This nation,
while having a written constitution, also
lias traditions which have the force of
law, and one of these traditions is that
we enter into "no entangling alliances
| with other countries."
Better Off Without Theili.
I From all accounts there are several
j "fake" industries locating in different
parts of the state, their sole object being
i to squeeze money out of the citizens of
the place where they put up their tent,
and then skip to ply their operations
somewhere else. One of these is the
Acme hosiery mill, which came to Ilazle
ton a few months ago from Schuylkill
Haven, the management receiving S2SOQ
from the people of our neighboring bor
, ougli, to pay for machinery and the ex
pense of moving. About a dozen girls
were given employment, being com
pelled to work free gratis until they
learned the business, and the total
amount of wages paid out in Ilazleton
did not exceed $72. Such "industries"
that employ none but female or child
labor do nothing to assist in building up
a town, but they do much to retard its
advancement by ruining the health of
I the operatives, and in many instances
the morals. The Ilazleton concern has
removed to White Haven, where it will
begin operations in a short while. The
former place has undoubtedly learned a
lesson that will prove beneficial to it,
and Freeland can also take warning at
I the same time. All possible induce
ments should be offered to industries to
( locate here, but they should be of a class
that would reflect credit on the town
and not prove a menace to it. Factories
! or mills that will give employment to
skilled mechanics and common laborers
i are the kind that are wanted, and then
| the children may be kept at school and
the young girls at home, away from the
degrading tendency of the factory.
.Austin forliin Denounced.
In the October number of the North
American Review Austin Corbin, president
'of the Philadelphia and Heading Kail
| road Company, had an article on the
j "Tyranny of Labor Organizations."
Upon its appearance in print the Loco
mot ire Fireman's Magazine immediately
: began a series of articles, some of which
we have republished, which are designed
to show the cause that inspired such a
j tirade of abuse and falsehood. The
| Magazine takes this paragraph of Cor
j bin's article and comments as follows:
j With other good, bad and indifferent j
; importations of foreign products we have |
j found ourselves within recent years to
j have acquired a hody of professional j
I labor agitators, which has been largely !
, reinforced by lazy imitators of domestic !
I growth. These, both foreign and do- 1
mestic, find it much more congenial to j
! their idle habits and tastes to assume j
j the role of grand knights, grand masters :
and walking delegates, with salaries
: attached and expenses paid, than to earn ;
an honest living by earnest work, as the :
I genuine workman gladly does.
The foregoing is ('orbin's most serious j
arraignment of labor organizations. It is 1
upon this indictment that Corbin bases
bis appeal for sympathy while he pur- ;
sues his policy of plunder, and he is I
I permitted to give his slander wide read- j
I ing in the North American Review for the i
purpose of obscuring the abominations i
!of his rule; and just here it is worthy of
remark that while he denounces oflicials
i of labor organizations, "foreign" and
, "domestic," as "professional agitators "
! lie employs Iluns, Dagoes and the riff
! raff of European slums for the purpose
! of degrading American workingmen by
1 reducing wages to a point that forever
| confronts them with starvation ; compell
ing them to live in hovels scarcely re
moved from the dens of wild beasts, and
to subsist upon food that a well-bred dog
would refuse.
Austin Corbin demands that there
f shall be no agitators or agitation of labor
- j topics, of Wage questions, throughout the
- | anthracite coal regions. He wants stag
| nation, degradation, slavery. He de-
niands that his word shall he supreme;
that when he takes snuff his 35,000 serfs
shall sneeze; that when he waves his
scepter his army of helots shall crawl;
that when he orders Bonzano or any
other catiff in his service to give a bugle
blast his rag-tag and hob-tail peons,
sunken-eyed, hollow-cheeked, skinny
fingered convicts shall fall prostrate and
worship anything beneath or above the
sod he may dictate. And because labor
organizations, inspired by self-respect,
sentiments of liberty and independence,
without which life is a continuous curse,
protest against such tyranny, he turns
upon them, and, because he has cash,
utilizes the pages of the North American
Review to empty the vials of his wrath
upon them.
Austin Corbin, whose rascality is
vastly more phenomenal than his
wealth, says "unagitated workmen do
not pay dues;" that is, are not members
of labor organizations.
There is not a writer upon labor topics
at all acquainted with the facts bearing
directly upon wages who will deny that
labor organizations have not been potent
in advancing and maintaining wages.
And the fact stands out as clear as a
mountain peak that where labor organi
zations do not exert an influence wages
decline to any point an employer may
demand. We state the rule and defy
successful contradiction.
C'orbin's statement that the "unagi
tated workman does not pay dues" is
worthy of a little investigation. Let it
be understood that the "unagitated
workman" does not belong to a labor
organization, but is one of Corbin's serfs.
We will assume that, if labor organi
zations held sway in Corbin's territory,
the country he has Russianized, wages
would be advanced, say, 25 cents a day.
We will assume if Corbin's men be
longed to labor organizations their dues
would amount to S2O each a year.
We will assume that Corbin lias in his
employ 35,000 men.
If wages were advanced 25 cents a day
for 300 working days in the year the
men would be benefitted to the amount I
of $2,025,000.
If they paid dues to the amount of S2O
each, annually, the sum total of dues
would be $700,000.
Ilence the net gain to the men in Cor
i bin's employ, if tliey belonged to a labor
I organization, would be $1,925,000.
1 Now, it is seen at a glance, why Corbin
is opposed to labor organizations and
labor agitators.
By keeping things quiet where lie
reigns and rules enables him annnally
to pocket from the earnings of his serfs
$1,925,000.
If labor organizations had sway in his
dominions this vast some of money would
go into the pockets of workingmen in
stead of into ttic pockets of Austin Cor
bin.
In this presentation of the case we
have given the reasons for Austin Cor
bin's opposition to labor organizations.
Labor organizations touch his pocket
book, therefore his soul. He is know n
to be a venal villain, a cash-cursed czar,
who, in" the case of Judas Iscariot, would
have sold Christ for less than thirty
| pieces of silver rather than have lost the
! j ° b " .1,.
All Industrial Revival.
There is a feeling abroad in this state
that these are prosperous and propitious
times. It is confined to no special class,
and is shown forth especially in reports
of industrial operations and in the
columns of the interior newspaper press.
—Phila. Pre**.
llow welcome this important piece of
news must he to the thousands of miners
;in Schuylkill and Northumberland
| Counties, whose sole means of earning
j their livelihood was cut off last week by
the shutting down indefinitely of a large
number of collieries, as told by an article
on our first page. We would think that
the feeling in that part of the state is
that these are anything but "prosperous
and propitious times." It savors much
of mockery to tell people they are
favored with an industrial revival when
| stagnation prevails everywhere. This
| revival is confined to 110 special class,
j says the Pre**. We are positive it is
I neither confined or known to the 0000
I soft coal miners in Allegheny County,
! who are 011 strike because their em
ployers can't concede them half a cent a
j bushel. Neither is it known to the coke
workers of the Connellsville region who
| threaten to cease work in a few weeks if
their wages are not raised from 90 cents
to $1.05 a ton. The 210,000 men of the i
Wyoming and Lackawanna regions are j
not aware that these are "prosperous and
propitious times," or they would hardly
be preparing to demand a 20 per cent,
advance on February 1. And such it is
with every class, with the probable ex - I
'ception of the iron workers, who are at
the height of a little boom just now. J
Instead of an industrial revival taking
place the outlook for the winter is very, I
very gloomy, and this statement can be
verified by reading the news and flnan- !
cial columns of the Press. Those col
umns give the lie almost daily to the
platitudes and flowery editorials which
the Press endeavors to have its r.eaders j
believe. The reports of industrial oper
ations and the columns of the interior 1
newspaper press tell something different
from "prosperous and propitious times."

The Tariff and the Iron Industry.
Three weeks ago the Pliila. Press
published two pages of dispatches from
all the leading iron centres in Pennsyl
vania, showing that that trade was never
in belter condition and all engaged in it
were enjoying unlimited prosperity. Ho
far thnt was all right and we hope it was
just as true as it read. But, like many
others, the Press was not satisfied with
this display of enterprise, and with a
view of utilizing this transiest period of
iron prosperity as a bolster for Ben Har
rison and the Republican party, pub
lished leading editorials for several days
afterwards, calling attention to the in
dustry and claiming that its flourishing
condition was due to the great an 1 glo
rious system of taxing ourselves. That
kind of chaff has been given to the birds
so often that they now refuse to be
caught by it, and the Press must be in
desperate straits for something to fall
back upon when it can't invent an origin
al canad. The same high tariff was in
vogue last spring when the dispatches
flew thick and fact from those same iron
centres announcing reductions of 10, 15
and sometimes 25 per cent, in the wages
of the employes. If we remember
rightly the Press then was one of the
first to assure the public that the tariff
was in no way responsible for the reduc
tion —the cause was over-production,
under-consumption, or some other ingen
ious tale was worked off to allay sus
picion. But the moment the darkness
is dispelled and trade again brightens
up, then protection is lauded as the
father of all happiness. The silence of
Republican organs when reductions arc
the order of the day is only equalled hy
their present ludicrous applause since
the Press gave the cue. They seem to
regard their readers as Hottentots,
anxious and willing to gulp down one
story every spring and a revised version
of the same in the fall. If such is the
material protectionists are made of they
have the sympathy of the Democratic
l'nHy. _ <a >
Tlie Inequality of Taxation.
.Statistics show that since 1860 Federal
taxation has increased sixfold, and
almost the whole of this has been taken
from the poorer elates. And, on the
other hand, the profit to the wealthier
classes, by the adjustment of individual
taxarion to their interest, has increased
nearly tenfold. Taxation takes from
the rich some 3 to 10 per cent, of their
annual savings, while owing largely to
the inequalities of the tariff, it takes
from the farmers and laboring classes
from 70 to 80 per cent, of their annual
savings. Such facts ought to be known,
irrespective of the interferences either
political party may draw from them.—
