FREELAND, PA., AUGUST 21, 1890.
TnF inhabitants of Wilkes-Bnrre
have the sympathy of the entire State
during their sad affliction. It is one
of those calamities over which human
ity has no control, and all must bow
in humble submission.
THE Graphic, an illustrated weekly
published at Scranton, is the lntest
creature of the State campaign, start
ed presumably in the interest of the
Republican candidate for Lieutenant
Governor. If its first issue can be
taken as a criterion of the course it
will pursue it will enjoy a short life.
THE effect of the Force hill would
he to destroy Ballot Reform in every
State in which the Australian system
has been introduced and to prevent
its success in every State that is pre
paring to adopt it. Is this one of the
reasons why the Force hill is so strong
ly supported by the covert enemies of
Ballot Reform ?
SENATOR DELAMATER continues to
express great confidence of his elec
tion to the office of Governor of Penn
sylvania, in spite of the widespread
manifestations of popular repugnance
to his candidacy. In this Mr. Dela- !
mater betrays a child-like trust in the
power of machine politics and Boss
Rule. He will he likely to have a rude
awakening from his dream next
November.
THE tariff tax on spectacles remains
at its maximum, as fixed by the Mc-
Kinlcy hill. The failing sight of old
age and the defective vision of fewer
years must continue to pay from $2.50
to $5 for an article that could he pro
duced and sold at a profit at 50 cents.
Death alone relieves the American
from the exactions of the favored
manufacturer, and even in death his
widow and children are robbed to
bury him.
WHEN a Democrat demands tariff
legislation which gives the American
farmers a more extended market
abroad for their products, the nar
row minded protection bigot shrieks
himself hoarse crying "free trade,"
but when James G. Blaine advocates
the common-sense principle it is called
"reciprocity." Strange that such a
difference there should be 'twixt twee
dledum and twecdledee.
IT is in the highest degree credit
able to the Southern Representatives
that their protests against the grow
ing Csesarism of the dominant party
in Congress have been uniformity in
moderate and patriotic tones. In fact,
the utterances of a majority of the
Southern press in what is to Southern
people a crisis in their affairs can be
favorably contrasted with the reckless
and even riotous partisanship of some
Northern journals.
THE New York Tribune condemns
the German tariff' as a tyrannous sys
tem of taxation, while daily lauding
the tariff of this country as an insti
tution of the highest wisdom and
benevolence. It is curious that the
same system should work so different
ly in different countries. The official
facts show, however, that the German
tariff is mild and merciful in its exac
tions in comparison with the tariff of
the United States.
TnE latest in Pennsylvania politics |
is the Republican Labor League,
which is the outcome of a movement
started by Quay about a month ago.
The League is nothing more than a
myth,with figure heads like A. A.Carl
ton and Fred. Turner playing Presi
dent and Secretary. When those two
men were officials of the K. of L. they
tried to throw the power of that order
to the Republican party, but failed.
Two professional labor men all the
way through, and will not mislead
anyone.
THE charge of Senator Kmery that
Delamater is in the habit of buying
up votes in Crawford County, for
cash, the Meadville Messenger says is
nothing new for that locality. The
corrupt use of money to carry elec
tions is a common practice in Craw
ford. The Messenger says: "The
hungry roosters demand cash, and
the ambitious politicians furnish it.
If they paid it out of their own pock
ctß it would not be quite so bad. But
they filch it from the people by hook
or crook. About SIOO,OOO of the tax
payers' surplus in the State Treasury
is handed over to Delamater's bank,
and loaned out at 7 or 8 per cent, in
terest. This furnishes a fund of
S7OOO or SBOOO a year. The county
deposits are always put in the same
bank."
Delanittter'i Self-Vindication.
During the past week Delamater pub
licly entered a denial of the chargeß pre
ferred by Ex-Senator Emery, whose
accusations of bribery, perjury and
forgery against Quay's candidate are
well known to our readers and their rep
etition is unnecessary. At a Republican
meeting in Chambersburg on Thursday
Delamater made a speech and at its con
clusion was asked by one of the audi
ence why he failed to deny the serious
charges made against him. Here is his
answer in a condensed form :
"I take this occasion to enter my most
positive, emphatic and unequivocal deni
al of each and every charge preferred by
Senator Emery. I enter this denial to
all charges, by whomsoever preferred,
which assail niy honor as a man and my
integrity as a citizen."
With this sweeping denial Delamater
would have the people of Pennsylvania
declare him innocent of charges in which
names, dates and places were specifically
| mentioned. Newspapers friendly to him
treat this denial as satifactory and con
clusive . To impartial hearers of the case,
however, the denial lacks force. It is
true that as between Emery and Dela
mater there is now a question of personal
veracity. There is assertion without
proof-, and there is fiat denial. It is
Emery's duty to bring forward such
proofs and particulars as he can of the
disreputable transactions which he ascri
bes to Delamater. Those proofs are
forthcoming, according to a statement
made by Emery on Saturday, anfl they
will include facts "as undeniable as
Delamater's Chambersburg denial was
broad and inexplicit. The day in which
unscrupulous politicians could sweep
away with a wave of the hand Btains of
j corruption with which they are tainted
lias gone by with me and should be with
every thinking and well-meaning citizen
in the State."
Whether these proofs will be present
ed or not, there are few who will not
acknowledge that Delamater has not
made a grave mistake in not making his
denial sooner. For nearly five months
he has refused to plead to charges made
by a man of character and position. For
nearly five months he has kept silent
though accused by a responsible accuser
of corruption, bribery, tampering with
public records, forgery and perjury.
During that time the natural if uncharit
able explanation of his neglect was that
he could not deny the charges, and now
his denial comes BO late that it seems
forced from him by the pressure of his
political friends to counteract the bad
effects of his delay.
What Delamater should have done j
promptly, what he would have done if I
he had been aa jealous of his good name
as a candidate for Governor or any other
honorable man should be, was to prose
cute Emery for libel as soon after April 4
as the machinery of the Courts could be
started. Instead of that he lias rested
quietly under infamous charges, and no
amount of deferred indignation and pro
testation about his honor as a man and
his virtue as a citizen can alter the fact
that he has shown remarkably bad judg
ment in not calling his accuser to account
in the Courts long before this. He has
not behaved as a man sensitive about his
reputation.
Why I'utttson Should He Supported.
At the last session of the Legisla
ture the Republicans defeated a bill de
signed to equalize taxation because it
was for the interest of corporations to
have it defeated. The Republican party
get their money from these corporations
with which to carry elections, and the la
boring classes need look for no relief from
this organization. The legislation of the
Repnblican party for the past twenty
live years, both in the State and nation,
has been in the interest of the rich,
and this system of legislation is to be
perpetuated if the Republican party is
to be continued in power. Delamater,
the Republican candidate for Governor,
belongs to the corporations. He is a
creature of the Standard Oil Company
and "Boss" Quay, who claims to own
him, and, of course, he will be controlled
in the interest of corporate wealth as
against the rights of the people. If our
farmers and others who arc suffering
from the burdens of taxation desire re
lief, they must support the party and
candidates who are in their interest;
whose acts have been in accordance with
their declarations.— Wyoming Democrat.
Thouttamltt Killed l>y Republican Policy.
Physicians and all authorities on the
subject of health are unanimous in as
serting that good woolen clothes and
underwear are absolutely essential to the
preservation of health. This is so self
evidontly true that no one can deny it;
yet in the face of this universally
accepted truth McKinley and hiß fol
lowers not only insist on retaining
the present death-dealing tax but
would almost double it.
People were horrified at the awful
death-roll at Johnstown —something over j
20(10 human beings—but if the countless
thousands of those who suffer sickness,
resulting in lingering disease and ulti
mate death, every year from want of
proper clothing—a want caused mainly
by this brutal tax—could be enumerated
the loss at Johnstown would seem insig
nificant.
Local, State and Federal Govern
ments have Boards of Health and
quarantines to guard the public health;
and yet the McKinley bill main
tains and proposes to increase a
tax which would cause more misery
and death than all preventive meas
ures combined could avert. This is not
idle fancy, but fact.
Defenders of this horrible blood tax
say that if sufficient protection should be
given to American sheep farmers they
would be enabled to raise enough wool
to supply the whole nation. That
may, or may not, be true; but grant that
, it is true, what then? Why simply this :
If the "protection" should be sufficient
F the price of wool would advance to such
a figure that the profits of sheep farming
I would be enough to cause so many men
to engage in it that we would raise all the
wool we need.
Again granted, and what would follow ?
Merely that the price of pure woolen gar
ments would be so high that none but
the comparatively rich could buy them;
and every year a vast death harvest
would be reaped among the poorer peo
ple, a harvest the seed of which would be
the wool tax, levied in order that a few
men might make money.
Cannot humane men and women, on
this point, cast aside the chains of
"party" and unite in demanding that this
awful blood tax be repealed? In other
matters of the tariff there are just grounds
for differences of opinion; but no one
but a heartless savage can defend a tax
the sole fruit of which to the nation at
large is rheumatism, pneumonia, bron
chitis, consumption and death.— Ex.
The New York Central Strike.
The great striko on the New York
Central Railroad, which startled the cor
poration of that name as well as the
industrial world, is about drawing to a
close, leaving thousands of its employees
without work. In District Assembly,
No. 240, Knights of Rubor, the men had
an almost perfect organization, having
nearly every employee, from switchman
to engineer, under itß banner. It was,
in fact, a counterpart of the organization
which existed in this region a short
time ago. A few impulsive leaders failed
to secure redress immediately for wrongs
real or fancied we do not know, from
which they claimed to suffer, and a tie
up was ordered. True to his organiza
tion's call every man deserted his post'
of duty on the line ami the business of
that road was completely paralyzed.
Their strength was a surprise to every
one. The company had 110 idea their
power was so great. Here was an im
mense railroad system, with the Yander
bilts, Webbs, Depcws and their millions
behind it, unable to move a wheel. Or
ganized labor was supreme for the time
being. In a situation like this people
may wonder why the employees did not
win. They not only lost their strike,
bnt from the time they ceased work the
company's officials treated them with
the utmost indifference, having full con
fidence in their ability to fill their posi
tions with men from the army of unem
ployed. Neither was this confidence
misplaced.
When thousands of men are looking
for work and are driven almost desperate
by the sight of hungry wives and child
ren, capital in a struggle with labor al
ways holds the winning hand in the end.
That was the condition of affairs in New
I York and the territory covered by the
Central road, and is the explanation of
the sudden collapse of the great strike.
Labor leaders are in New York by the
score at present, threatening many dire
things, but as far as the corporation is
concerned the strike is certainly a thing
of the paßt. It went the way of thousands
of its predecessors, benefitting no one
but the organized force of ruffians anil
thugs known as Pinkerton's Detective
Agency.
Iu railroad centres like New York
there are alwnys thousands of men who
have at times had experience in rail
road work. Thus there is always a large
surplus of skilled men upon whom cor
porations can rely, and though thousands
may go on a strike, their places are very
soon tilled.
So long as the present system con
tinues, whereby one-tenth of the work
ing population of the country is com
pelled to live in enforced idleness, just
that long will the laboring class be kept
in their present position.
It matters not how just his demand
may be, the toiler must not leave his
work, for there are two or more persons
always ready and anxious to take
his place. How long this condition
will last depends on how soon op
portunities for all to work is granted.
Until then the laboring man can ex
pect nothing but temporary relief from
any of the many measures promulgated
by his friends. When every person who
wishes to work can enjoy the privilege
of doing so and when the natural oppor
tunities of this great country are opened
to all alike, then a permanent change will
take place in the life of the workingman.
Under present conditions the growth
of the country cannot provide employ
nent for its own inhabitants, yet every
.rans-Atlantic steamer is constantly pour
ing a foreign population upon us, keep
ing the labor market continually over
stocked.
With the new arrivals not only will
ing but anxious to replace the American
workman at a lower rate of wages than
he is receiving, there is absolutely no
protection for the American masses. It
is the law of supply and demand that ]
regulates wages. At present the supply
exceeds the demand, and under this
condition capital has an unassailable ad
vantage, which makes it impossible for
labor, no matter how just its cause, to
wage a successful battle with rich and
prosperous employers.
Farmers of Pennsylvania 1
The present delegation in Congress
from the State of Pennsylvania con
tains twenty-one Republicans ami seven
Democrats. When these twenty-one Re
publicans shall come stumping among
you this fall, and shall tell you that the
McKinley Tariff bill was devised to bet
ter your condition, you should reply :
"There is not a section or a line in the
entire bill that will open a market for
another bushel of wheat or another
barrel of pork."
And if they want to know your au
thority for that statement you can tell
them it is James G. Blaine, the chief
Apostle of Protection and the Secretary
of State of this Administration.

The Discovery of Anthracite Coal.
The proposition to erect a monument to
Philip Gintler, who discovered anthra
cite coal on Summit Hill, Carbon county,
in 1791, has given rise to a number of
claims for the honor of discovering coal
in Pennsylvania. The Wyoming Valley
people claim that anthracite was known
in that section of the State as early as
1750. There is a tradition that hard coal
was burned in the Valley Forge about
the time of the French and Indian War.
Nevertheless, the Mauch Chunk pro
moters refuse to be turned aside from
their plans. They point with pride to
the fact that the Lehigh Valley Coal
Mining Company began practical mining
in Carbon county in 1792 in immediate
consequences of Ginder's discovery, and
it was only then that the possible im
portance of coal as a fuel began to be ap
preciated.
They claim, therefore, that Ginder is
entitled to a monument and they pro-!
pose that he shall have one on the just
grounds that the discoverer of anthracite
is not the individual who knew that the
ground contained black stones without
knowing their use, but he whose dis
covery led to the use of coal as fuel.
Ginder seems to be as much deserving
of the honor of being called the dis
coverer of anthracite coal in Pennsyl
vania as Fulton is of being called the
inventor of the steamboat or Isaac New
ton the discoverer of differential calculus.
It is a good sign, too, that it is proposed
that art should do honor to the import
ance of our material interests. The
queer idea of the head culturists, that
there is something coarse and vulgar
about material interests never was carried
out by themselves or by the world in
actual practice, but is is an idea which is
persistently clung to in some quarters.
The importance of our material interests
will never be appreciated by certain
(esthetic creatures until these interests
are glorified by art. As a step in this
direction the proposed Ginder monument
is of some consequence.— PhiUi. Inquirer.
Silence 1M Confession.
We notice that Quay deigned a few
days ago to make some reply to charges
in a New York paper to the effect that
he had been bribed by certain linen im- j
porters in New York to influence the j
shaping of the Tariff bill in their inter-'
est. This shows that Quay can open his |
mouth. But why does he not open it i
when he is charged daily and circum
stantially by the most powerful news- i
papers in the United States with scandal
ous offenses and when they taunt him to
come forward and silence them if he |
dares? The fact is that the charges con-1
cerning the linen importers of New York
were really false so far as Quay was al
leged to be implicated, and it was there
fore easy for him to stop to the front and
make a virtuous and indignunt denial.
But in the far more important mattor
of his alleged embezzeling from the State
Treasury he has not the courage to meet
his accusers face to face, and he lacks the
courage simply because he has no case of
his own. His only refuge is silence, and
silence is confession.— Chestar County
Democrat.
Correspondence From the Capitol.
WASHINGTON, August 19, '9O.
The advocates of the Federal Elec
tion bill are getting very restive because
the tariff does not "get disposed ot" more
rapidly. The fact that but four pages
of the bill have been gone over in the
Senate suggests a calculation as to how
long it will take to get through the 181
pages in the bill, with the most difficult
matter to deal with yet to come. At the
present rate of prepress it looks as if the
Federal Election bill might have a long
timeto wait yet. It cannot be said, how
ever, that the Democrats are at loss to find
things to say about the tariff bill and
that they are talking to kill time. That
they are saying things on the subject that
have some meaning is evidenced by the
fact that the Republicans concluded that
it was necessary to break their compact;
of silence and have Mr Morrill reply to J
some of the criticisms and defend the .
bill. It will be very difficult to convict
the Democrats of filibustering, for if half
the legitimate amendments were offered
that might be two months would not be
a long time for the consideration of the
bill. With this condition of things it is
not necessary for the Democrats, even if
they desired to kill time, to proceed in
any but an orderly way. They might
even be generous and pass over many
matters they would like to contest, and
yet a vote on the bill cannot possibly be
reached in time to satisfy the necessities
of the Federal Election bill. It is a
grave mistake, howwber, to assume that
the majority of the Republicans have
given up the hope of passing the Elec
tion bill. But what they are unable to
do is to force the Election bill to the
front as they would like to. Rowell, the
Chairman of the Elections Committee of
the House, who is more the author of
the bill than is Lodge, said Saturday
that he expected the bill to pass, but he
5 had no idea that it would pass in time to
Vie in operation during this fall's elections.
Thorough-paced ns Speaker Reed's
management of the House of Represen
tatives has been, lie has fallen far short
of accomplishing the task which he set
for himself at the beginning of the ses
sion. At that time he said he did not
see why the House should not take vote
on every bill before it and adjourn by
the 4th of July. The 4th of July passed
a month ago and the House is still in
session, with the prospect of being in
session a month or two longer. All told,
not more than five hundred bills and
resolutions of all sorts have become
laws this session, while the bills and
resolutions reported to the House—not
to mention the thousands upon which
the committees have not acted—there
are still sixteen hundred on the calendars
upon which the House has not taken a
vote, and many of these, right or wrong,
are bills of great importance. General
public bills making select appropriations
are placed on the calendar of the Com
mittee of the whole House on each State
of the Union. About 400 of these are
still waiting to be taken up by the House.
The House calendar proper consists of
general bills which do not carry appro
priations. Of these there are about
200. The private calendar carries about
1,000 bills. Then there are about 100
bills classed as unfinished business, hav
ing been partly considered by the House
and temporarily laid aside without final
action. And on the calendar of privileged
reports there are four committee reports
on contested election enses, three of them
recommending the unseating of the sit
ting members, so that after all the state
ments made by Speaker Reed a month
ago that the House had practically com
pleted its business and would have been
ready to adjourn if the Senate had not
been behind with its necessary work was
capable of being understood.
* *
Mr. Struble, of lowa, denounces
Speaker Reed as a tyrant, and declares
that thirty other Republican members of
the House feel just as badly as he does
about Reed, but haven't the courage to
sneak out. The Tennessee Republican
Convention throws cold water on the
Federal Flection bill. California busi
ness men, without respect to party lines,
and the North Dakota Republicans in
convention assembled pronounce for Mr.
Blaine's reciprocity idea. This is a par
tial record of one week's developements
in the Republican party. The trend of
things would seem to be in the di
rection of more independence and less
harmony.
Postmaster General Wanamaker is
profoundly and no doubt prayerfully
wrestling with the problem as to which
will be the most (esthetic and appropriate
tint for the new postal cards by the issue
of which ho inennß to signalize his ad
ministration of the Post Office Depart
-1 ment. Mr. Wanamaker's mind isdivid
. Ed between pale blue, pale gray and
j yellow, and he really can't decide which
118 preferable. Whatever his decision
may finally be, the public can rest as
sured that the cards will prove things of
beauty. Nevertheless, they will sell at
the usual price of one cent.
However it may be in other sections of
the Republican party, there is no doubt
that the Maine contingent is sharply
divided into Blaine and Reed factions.
Mr. Reed's boom, though young, is re
markably vigorous. Mr. Blaine's is older
but it has a record, and this is an ad
vantage, and in the division of forces
Mr. Blaine unquestionably is the fore
most of the two. In the House two of
the Maine men are outspoken in their
anti-Reed sentiments, and both of the
Senators are believed to be firm adherents
of the Secretary of State.
Speaker Reed should congratulate him
self that he is not compelled to run for
Congress in all the towns that fail to se
cure public buildings. It seems there is
but one man from Maine after all, and
that the first letter of his name has no
tail to it. R.
