FREELAND, I'A., JANUARY 20, 1891. j
IN view of the near approach of
the I?urough Democratic Convention
it would be well for that party, be
fore casting their votes fit the primary
convention, to first consider the stand
ing of those seeking nominations for j
the several offices and to ascertain
their fealty to the ticket made by.
former conventions. It is a matter of
history that many of those in the
Borough of F Iceland, who claim al-!
legiance to the Democratic party, do
it only in name. Those men can be
seen at every municipal election in t lie
Borough of Freehmd working against
the nominees oil the ticket, and yet,
many of them have the effrontery to
ask the support of honest Democrats
when they themselves are looking for
office. The rules adopted by the
Democratic voters of Foster Town
ship, in reference to candidates for
office, would be a good one for the
Democratic voters of the borough to
adopt. It is as follows: Candidates i
for township officers must be men >
who have voted the Democratic ticket j
for at least two years preceding their |
nomination. i
The ••Trent," Coal Miner. <
t
flic Philadelphia Press is publishing a <
series of articles from the pen of one of j 1
its correspondents who has been in this • <
region for the past live weeks. Many of
the people in the big cities believed >
when anything was written from the j
coal fields describing the miners and the (
treatment received by them at the hands I
of the coal operators w ere written to or- i
der, and by parties living in this vicinity, t
so as to place those men before the pub- ■ ]
lie as suffering from innumerable wrongs. I
In order that the exact status of the i
miners he made known, and for purposes : t
which will hereafter appear (the exact' t
nature of which would not he prudent to .
mention just yet), the Press, with that
pusli and fair "play which characterizes
its management, determined to make a
thorough investigation of the matter. J
Mr. Brown came into this region about j
live weeks ago an entire stranger to its ; •
residents, and after making inquiry j''
found that there were many men who ]
feared to speak about their work to a !
stranger. To the Editor of the TUIIU NE
Mr. Brown disclosed his plan, which ap-1
peared to be to get information as to the i
cost of mining coal, the cost of store I
goods, mine supplies, etc. That he I
would enter the mines as a laborer was
never even suspected by those to whom {
lie spoke about the state of affairs exist- !
ing here at present; yet, with that thirst
for knowledge, which can only be gained ;
by experience, he sought and procured i '
employment as u common laborer. The
result of his investigation has been laid
before the public through the columns of
the Press during the past week. We
trust that they may be productive of j
good results, and that eventually a 1
change may take place that will be of a :
lasting henetit to all who work in and 1
around the mines.
Air. Brown came here as the duly ac-1
credited representative of the Press, j
whether he lias pictured the success and
incident too highly we leave to those I
who read them to decide.
A Prediction.
Mr. Thomas (1. Shearman has an ar
ticle in the January "Forum" on "The j
Coming Billionaire," from which the
following is an extract: —
In the reaction which has already, be- j
gun, but which will he all the more 1
sweeping the longer it is delayed, all j
taxes imposed upon the poor for the
direct benefit of the rich will Vie swept
away. The duty on raw wool is known
to he doomed and the rich wool growers
correctly predict that the duties Oil woolen
goods will vanish almost as speedily as !
those on wool. How long will pig iron
taxes throttle New England after wool
and woolens are free? How long can '
any protective duties stand after the key- :
stones of the arch have been knocked
out ? The protective featuresof the tariff
will soon he destroyed. But before that
time shall arrive direct taxation will have
been resorted to as a partial source of
government revenue, and the masses, \
finding themselves exempt rrom it,
will insist upon its extension and eventu- ;
ally upoq its substitution for all other
taxes. Vor will there he any powerful
eoiicentiated interest to resist this de
mand after the protective system has '
been destroyed. Nobody will purchase j
votes in favor of a tariff for revenue I
only.
Direct taxation, on a large scale, is
near at hand, lho men who bought I
and paid for the present Congress caul
now choose w hat its form will he. '
They can have a general income tax, or |
1 hey can have something less open to!
fraud, less inquisitorial in its nature, less
oppressive upon honest men and offer
ing no premium to perjury. But they
know nothing about the science of
taxation, and they do not care to learn;
so that the whole matter will be leftover
to the new Congress, and a general in
come tax, objectionable as it is, seems
most likely to he adopted. It hasalroady
been proposed by Senator Plumb and
Mr. Mills. It is one of the demands of
the fanners' alliance everywhere. It
will bo very popular in tile West, be
cause it w ill be collected chiefly in the
East; and it will he very popular among
farmers in all sections, because incomes
under ? 1,000 will he exempted, and so
Hcui'i-ely any farmers will pay it. The
protected manufacturers and mine
owners may have a harvest for four
vears, but it w ill not he so rich as they
have imagined, because consumption
will fall off. After that time the men of
wealth who bought the soldier vote by
the promise of enormous pensions, which
tie \ expected to saddle upon the poor,
will have the great pleasure of paying
most of the pension bill themselves,
through an income tax.
The billionaire seems to he coining;
yet In- will not come, because the reign
of the extortioner is fast drawing to a
close.

I'nttlaon on Ballot Reform.
: The most important public question
j before the voters of Pennsylvania at
present is how to at tain that much-needed
reform—the purity and secrecy of the
ballot. Being, as it is, the foundation of
all proposed reforms, it is necessary that
the subject should receive nothing but
the most careful consideration at the
hands of our legislators. The voters of
the State, as they have voiced their
opinions through the public press, are
almost unanimously in favor of ballot
reform to its fullest extent. That the
Democratic Executive at Ilarrisburg is
abreast of the times on this issue is
clearly shown in the following portion
of his inaugural address, which treats
wholly upon ballot reform, which can
! only be had in its entirety through a
Constitutional Convention :
BALLOT REFORM.
The Constitution requires that all elec- !
tions shall be free and equal, but such I
elections arc not secured by existing laws.
Nor is our ballot secret. Fierce political
conflicts between parties have given birth
here as elsewhere to many phases of
: corruption, to the lavish use of money j
by rich candidates, to fraudulent regis-1
i tration, intimidation by corporations and j
i by large employers of labor, to false
' counting, and to marked, altered and |
i suppressed ballot. These political con
tests have revealed the existence of a)
• pttrchaseable element in our midst j
evolving all forms of ballot debauchery. ,
The sovereignty of the people depends ;
for its efficiency upon the co-operate in
telligence and the incorruptible integrity
of the sovereign. To make sure of the ;
former we have established our public ;
schools; to make sure of the latter we 1
have adopted the ballot-box, and have
thrown around it the protection of pecu
liar laws. But the abolition of the viva
voce vote and the adoption of the ballot
have proved to be only a step toward
pure elections. Now, at the ballot box
THE EQUALITY OF ALI. THE CITIZENS
must be sacredly protected; the free
man's franchise must be preserved.
But when law-abiding voters are con- j
fronted at the polls with the corrupt
hirelings of leaders who scorn the law
they are degraded to an equality insult
ing and dangerous. For the purchaser
of votes is a repeater by proxy; to him
the commercial and industrial interests j
of millions are of far less moment than
his hold of power. Hence his gangs of
organized ignorance and purchased vice;
hence his sneers at the decalogue in
politics, his defiance of the law, his bold i
j attempt to thwart the popular intelli- j
; gence and to defeat the popular will, j
lie is the most insidious foe to our in- j
stitutious, for he aims at the overthrow
of virtue, liberty and independence. '
Every dollar used to defeat the tin- j
bought will of the people is an attack
not only upon free institutions, but upon ;
every vested interest. When money
shall be king at the American polls i
money will be king at American Capitols.
It is not a mere local agitation that
I underlies the present demand for
A THOROUGH REVISION
of election methods. A great popular
movement for ballot reform has set in,
and tifteen States of the Union have al
ready responded to it. All political par-1
ties in Pennsylvania have made open
profession in favor of securing the most
j perfect attainable expression of the pub- 1
I lie will, and the only question that we j
j now deal with concerns the most expe
i ditious and efficient method of its ac
! eomplishment. An Australian ballot
; system is the best agency yet devised for j
purifying elections, It is neither an tin- i
tested experiment nor a questionable ex
pedient. Upward of eighty-five millions
of people conduct their elections by its !
machinery. It is not the method of any j
: one country or people, but finds a home
: wherever a free and accurate ex-
I pression of conviction is desired.
ITS CARDINAL FEATURES ARE t
! First. Compulsory secrecy of voting.
.Second. Uniform official ballots con
[ tabling the names of all candidates
I printed under State or municipal au
thority.
! Third. Official equality of nomina
tions when made either bv party con
vention or by a paper signed by a given
number of voters.
Under this system all qualified voters
j have equal facilities for voting, and all
j candidates have equal facilities for re
j ceiving votes.
' Wherever tried, the Australian ballot
j system has completely changed the as
: pccts of the elections. It secures the
tranquillity, purity and freedom of
j choice, and there is abundant testi
-1 mony that it is the best, the most rapid
and facile mode of obtaining the un
biased wish and mind of the voters.
The Australian system has produced i
effects far wider than the mere achieve- 1
ment of a single reform. When oppor
tunity is given to put honest and capable
men in public ollice and keep them there,
then is the standard of public service 1
elevated and made worthy of the honor- j
able ambition of our best men. Ballot
reform offers not only free and pure
elections, but free nominations. It offers
a method of nomination tnut is open to
■ all, ami frees us unmistakably from the
rule of political bosses. 1 will heartily
favor any well-considered legislation
which will secure these or any portion
of these results.
A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
But it is manifest that the deep-reach
ing and effective ballot reform for which
the popular mind in Pennsylvania lias
been fully preparod by recent discussion
i must go beyond the present restrictions
of the Constitution. The complete ad
vantages of what has so widely approved
i itself as the Australian system can
not be realized while the ballot-number-
I ing provision remains in the Constitution.
That provision requires each ballot to lie
numbered for identification. It is ex
posure, in certain contingencies, of the
contents of the ballot, while the Aus
tralian system is expressly designed to
prevent such exposure in any contin
gency. The dependent voter will never
; feel the security to which lie is entitled,
and which the general welfare requires
, he should have, while the danger of ex
posure, even by ,ludicial inquiry, hangs
over lus head. But the numbering pro
, duces other and far greater evils. It is
done by the election officer, who, there
fore, must handle the ballots and drop
[ them into the box. When, again, the
; ballots are counted a reference to cor
! responding numbers on the list of voters
• reveals to the election officer how any
' and every citizen lias voted.
el THE OATH OF SECRECY
1 lias been found of little avail. Itissys
'' tematically violated. The industrial and
! j political boss almost invariably secures
' the information he desires concerning
! the ballot of his victim. It is for this
1 reason, because of their long and disas
trous experience under the numbering
; system, that the people demand itsaboh
• tion and the restoration to them of their
lost right to u free and unintimldated
', vote. The reason for the existing con
stitutional provision lias in great measure
i ceased. Corruption and brutal coercion
have taken the place of ballot-box stuff
ing in our elections. To reform the
, nhuses in question a Constitutional Con
vention is necessary. There is no reason
' | why such a convention should not be
| assembled at an early day, its delibera-
tions completed, and the results sub
mitted to the people and approved or
rejected within the present year.
PERSONAL REGISTRATION.
Additional warranty and necessity fur
this are to he found in the demand for a
system of compulsory personal resist ni
tration. .Such a system coniiot be se
cured without an elimination from the
1 Constitution of the provision that ''No
elector shall be deprived of the privilege
of voting by reason of his name not being
registered." Like the numbered ballot
I clause, this provision was inserted to
avoid an abuse which no longer exists;
while this provision remains it is an ob
! struction to a reform now uigently need
ed and popularly demanded. An act of
: Assembly may establish in Pennsylvania
; the official ballot, the booth secluding
the voter, and the open count, all of ;
which are important reforms; hut we
cannot establish compulsory registration I
or give to the people the one thing which
! they most want and are determined to
1 have —a secret ballot —save a Constitu- ;
j tional Convention.
IN his inaugural address Governor
Patiism made use of an original
phrase which promises to become the
battle cry of every man who siucereb
desires ballot reform. Every word of
that phrase contains the true Demo
cratic ring, and none will dare dispute
the fact that "when money shall b< 1
king at the American polls money will
be king tit American Capitols"
Justin , a Philadelphia Single Tax
paper, came to us this week in a new
form and with a handsome new dress.
It presents a neat typographical ap
pearance and is filled with interesting
matter. The change is a decided im
provement and no doubt will be
greatly appreciated by its many
readers.
THE Weatherly Jfmthl is now
printed on an Improved Country 1
Campbell Press. The change shows
that its proprietor is alive to the
wants of his patrons, and in future
will give them a readable paper.
