FREELAND, PA., MARCH 13, 1890.
THE surplus, which a year ago
seemed about to compel a reduction of
taxation, has been swept away in ex
travagance, and, instead of reducing, ;
the dominant party in Congress is
planning to increase the people's bur- I
dens.
THE Harrison organs are writing i •
long editorials on why corn is cheap.
Of course, everyone know why corn
is cheap. What Republican farmers '
who listened to home market stump
speeches in 1889 want to know is, why
com is not high.
THE Tariff Reform fever is spread
ing in the West with a rapidity that
alarms the Protectionist doctors.
They can find no remedy for the ail
ment; and this is one of the cliiefest
reasons for packing the Senate of the
United States in the interest of Mo
nopoly.
THE Republicans of Maine are very :
solid for liquor prohibition that does
not prohibit. But they are decidedly
hostile to the Australian ballot sys-1
tens, or any other ballot system that
would tend to prohibit the familiar
processes by which the suffrage is
manipulated in Maine.
ONE of the exponents of the "manly ;
arts" —Mitchell—has been arrested in
London for assaulting an associate I
with a poker, and inflicting serious if
not fatal injuries. In his case, at
least, prize riDg training has failed to
develop manliness, but has produced
brutality, its natural fruit.
THE St. Louis Globe Democrat (Re
publican), in its apprehension of the ,
dangers that beset the majority in [
Congress, expresses the hope that the |
session will end before the closing
day of June. In a short session lies
the only mode of escape from the
ravenous lobby that has possession j
of the Capitol.
A WEEK ago nobody would have,
thought it probable that the ice-men [
in this neighborhosd would have a j
chance to get a local supply of ice;
yet the cold snap has frozen over the
still bodies of water to a sufficient
depth to permit ice cutting opera
tions, and work has been begun at
many suburban places.
THE estimated expenditure for pen
sions this year and the deficiency in
last year's appropriation will amount
to about $117,000,000. This enor
mous sum is greater than the total
payments for pensions in all other
countries, and greater than the cost
of any of the standing armies main
tained by European power.
Now that Freeland Council has or
ganized, it is none too soon to suggest
some improvements that might take
place. In the borough the first thing
to do is to establish an ash and garb
age system, instead of using the alleys
and byways for depositing all kinds of
objectionable material. This matter
con be attended to at very little cost, j
THE present tariff' is paralyzing the
very labor it professes to protect by
needless and crushing taxes on raw
materials, and equally crushing and
needless taxes on the necessaries of
life; and instead of imposing now and
more oppressive taxes on the working
people; the time has come when there
must be a radical advance in free raw
materials and cheapened necessaries
of life.
THE production of anthracite coal
in February was less than 1,8(19,000
tons and below the allotment more
than 200,000 tons. The production
of January and February is 300,000
tons below the average consumption
in those months recently. These
figures prove pretty conclusively that
notwithstanding differences on smaller
matters the great anthracite com
panies are agreed on a restriction of
the output of the mines during the
dull months. —Philadelphia Press.
THE petition of the iron manufac
tories of New England for free coal
and iron ore and for a reduction of
the duties on pig and scrap iron to 24
per cent, is growing into a portentous
affair. Nearly all the iron manufact
urers of ironmongery and machinery
have signed it. Resolutions in favor
of free wool, free ore and free coal
have also been introduced in the
Massachusetts Legislature, and the
discussion that will ensue cannot help
but push on the work of Tariff Re
form. —Philadelphia Recryrd.
MUCH valuable space has been de
voted to the solution of the lnbor
problem by the public press for some
years past. The discussion of this
problem has been forced on our pub
lic men by the labor organizations of
the country. Many of the measures
asked by labor would not, if enacted,
accomplish the results sought; but the
agitation of this pressing problem
will produce results more far-reaching
and conclusive than the most sanguine
friends pf social regeneration ever
ilreameil of.
The wail of labor for justice lias
■ brought to its defense men of char
acter and ability—men who have come
to stay. These men see the conditions j
that prevail, and have investigated
the causes that make them possible;
j but, disagreo somewhat as to the |
remedies to be applied.
The fact that they have caught tho
public ear, is evidence that the public
! are interested in the solution of the
problem, and, it is only a matter of
time when State socialists, single tax
men and all other friends of human
freedom will consolidate their forces .
;in applying the proper remedies. ,
Much credit is due to labor organiza- !
tious, and to tho Knights of Labor
especially, for the part they have ;
played in pressing this problem to !
the foreground in practical politics, I
and, to the men who have become dis- j
couraged and abandoned their organi- !
zatious, we say come back. Your!
work in the past bus had its effects, i
Y'ou have built better and probed
deeper than you ever anticipated. |
Your aid and co operation is necessary l
to push to a final finish the good work
you have so ably commenced.

WASHINGTON, March 11, '9O.
Two hundred general appropriation :
pension bills have already been referred j
to tho House Pension Committee and ,
2,048 special bills, the general bills em- j
| bracing all conceivable forms of pension
i legislation. The larger number of old
soldiers and requiring a great expendi
| ture of money, is the service pension bill.
There are several bills introduced per
| raining to this one subject, the most lib
eral one of which proposes to place all
old soldiers on the pension roll at a mini
muni of $8 per month pension, with the
addition of one cent sent per month for
each day's service over 800 days; this
pension is to be paid to all old soldiers,
regardless as to whether they are now
receiving pensions or not. The friends
of this bill estimate that it would cost
$140,000,000 per annum. There are j
other service pension bills which place
only those soldiers on the roll who are I
receiving $8 per month, which would '
materially reduce the cost. The most j
moderate of these bills would probably
cost from $80,000,000 to 100,000,000 per
I year.
j A great deal of the time of the com
mittee lias been consumed by the friends
of these different measures desiring hear- j
ings in behalf of their propositions.
The friends of the service pension have i
occupied some five or six meetings of j
the committee, to the total exclusion of |
all other business. The maimed and i
disabled soldiers, the deaf soldiers, and
several other classes have also been
! heard by the committee. The eom
j mittee have been unremitting in their
endeavors to obtain statistics as to the
; number of living soldiers and the death
| rate since the close of the war. To their
I great surprise, they find that the death
j rate had been much less than has been
I generally supposed. Tables soon to be
; completed will show that the deaths in
Grand Army ranks last year were only
5,000 out of 400.000, and among pension
i ers they were about the same. There is
i a unanimous sent iment in the committee
' in favor of liberal legislation for soldiers,
j hut all are agreed that it will be simply
impossible to pass all of the proposed
| measures at this session of Congress,
I and they are carefully investigating the
j whole subject to'determine which is the
' most meritorious and the most practic
j able. A Democratic member of the
j committee has seriously suggested that,
j as these pension bills call for so many
i millions, the < iovernment issue bonds to
! the extent of half a billion of dollars
; and apply the proceeds to paying pen-
I sions. There is no doubt but that the
i committee is in a quandary over the
! pension bills, especially when it is un
j derstood that regular appropriations bills
; will leave no surplus, and that some pro
vision will have to be made if pension
j bills are to be passed which appropriate
millions.
* *
Among those who profess to know, it
; is generally believed that the committee
on ways and means in its efforts to re
adjust tariff taxation in accordance witli
| the pledges given by the Republican
party has encountered unforeseen diffi
i cnlties. The original program of the
{ Republican leaders, and, asaconsequene,
j that of the ways and means committee,
was to abolish the internal revenue tax
on whiskey "used in the arts and manu
factories," also the tobacco yielding S3O
- 000,000 and to nut sugar on the free list.
But to many Western Republicans the
tobacco tax seems just, as being a tax up- 1
on a luxury, such as is embraced under
; all fiscal systems. The free whiskey I
scheme having been previously aban-;
! doned, nothing in the program was left,
to abolish but the sugar duties, a sur
render of which would mean a loss to
the revenues of $50,000,000. To com
pensate our sugar producers for their :
loss of protection, they were to receive 1
, from the Treasury a direct bounty, but
to the sugar-beet raisers of California or
the sorghum producers of Kansas this
plan is unsatisfactory.
The situation is embarrassing, for free !
whiskey will antagonize the moral !
masses of the country, free tobacco will j
, arouse hostility in the West and free |
sugar will be opposed in California and
Kansas. These are the dilemmas, and '
it is difficult to predict what solution the
committee will be able to find.
* *
Tho Senate proceeds in its solemn way !
to not find how its secrets get out. The
executive session is a farce, but it is
small circumstance compared with the
inquisition into the manner in which
Senators reveal its inmost workings.
The employes are suspected without rea
son and the senseless four-foot walls are
supposed to he in iniquitous league with
the newspaper reporters and correspon
dents, who are expelled fjom their gal
lery on the bare suspicion of accomplish
-1 ing the impossible. All this is intended
to have some mysterious effect on the
minds of communicative Senators and to
impress the public as the very height of
■ watchfulness. The Senators, however,
1 who divulge are not frightened by the
i. . measures taken, and the public under
i I stand that the only tiling established is
: the necessity for the abolition of the
) secret executive session, except possibly
I in the occasional consideration of cer
, tain treaties, the discussion of which be
fore the world might embarrass the na
tion in its relations with foreign powers.
Not Taxable.
Judge Pershing, of Schuylkill county,
has just made a decision in regard to the
taxation of bank shares in the hands of
individuals, which is of general interest.
lie continued an injunction restraining
borough officials from collecting county,
school and borough taxes on bank stocks,
the conclusions being arrived at by the
f ourt being as follows: First, that the
> act of June 1, 1889, repealed prior legis- 1
* t owned by individuals in national banks, |
or in banks or savings institutions incor
-1 porated by the State; and, second, that
the Miners' National Bank and the
i Pennsylvania National Bank having, in
I compliance with the assessments made
' by the financial officers of the State, paid
j into the State Treasury the full amount
i of taxes demanded by the act of 1889,
! the stockholders are severally discharged
from the liability to pay in addition the
taxes specified in the bill of complaint.
