FREELAND, PA., JULY 9, 1891.
IT is about as good as settled that
Alfred Darte will be the Republican
opponent of Judge Lynch. Had tlie
Democrats been given the privilege to
select the nominee they could not have
presented a weaker candidate to run
against the present incumbent. Darte
has had two terms in the District At
torney's office, but his political life
will end when he meets Lynch in No
vember.
A NUMBER of Republicans have
formed an organization in Philadel
phia to oust Quay from the leadership
and to ' purify the party." They have
two stupendous contracts on their
hands. It is within the limits of the
whirligig of politics to accomplish tlie
first, but the latter —never. Purify a
party that is sustaining life only by
using the most corrupt and demoral
izing agencies I The thought is ridicu
lous. When Republicans talk of puri
fying the Republican party it bears a
striking resemblance to Satan quoting
Scripture.
THE daily reports of the financial I
condition of tho treasury, as given out ,
by Secretary Foster, is not misleading ]
anyone, unless it be those officials
who think they are fooling the public
with their ingenious and new-fangled
system of book-keeping. Doubling
up and recounting the funds several
times until a respectable amount is
obtained (on paper) seems to be a
pleasant pastime for Washington peo
ple, but when it comes to handling
available cash it requires a search
light and a double-barreled telescope
to find even a scent of that surplus.
FROM the Philadelphia Press down
to the humblest backwoods organ of
the Republican party comes a loud
clamor for the removal of State Chair
man Andrews. But the chairman
doesn't move. He lias M. S. Quay at
bis back and whatever this shining
examplo of Republicanism says is law.
He is still the boss and dictator of
every man who wears the G. O. P.
collar, and every citizen who considers
himself a Republican must bend his
knee to the contaminated hand of
Quay. Poor political serfs! May the j
Goddess of Liberty have pity on you.
PATTISON is receiving a little atten
tion as a Presidential possibility from
those who wish to harmonize the
Cleveland and Hill factions of the ■
party, hut to the majority of Demo
crats the name falls flat. As a Gov- 1
ernor he is a phenomenal success and
the right man in the right place, but I
the next nominee of the Democrats
must be a man of the Cleveland Btamp, j
with definite ideas regarding the tariff.
Pattison has yet to state his views
upon this all-important subject, and
unless he takes advantage of the op
portunities to do so before the conven
tion is held it will pay better to keep
him at Harrisburg.
A YEAR ago when the McKinley bill
was the leading subject in politics the
high-tariff organs were telling then
readers how the great American army
of unemployed would all have plently
to do when the new law got in proper
working order. The country has had
nine months of the most severe form
of protection—-greater than any nation
in the world has ever had—and what
is the result? The army of tramps
(so called) increased from one million
to twelve hundred thousand, daily
failures in every branch of protected
industries, and the cries of the op
pressed rising far above the cheers
given by Fourth of July celebrants.
THE tin-plate talker is now vehe
mently in operation. He remembers
that the new duties are in effect and
every day he declaims anew the price
less advantage of a tariff on tin. The
"protection" of a few phnnto n indus
tries will increase the erst of every
American workingman's dinner, hut
this troubles not the tin-plato talker.
For, he avers, the money which we
once sent abroad for the purchase of
tin will now be spent among Ameri
can employes of tin manufacturers.
Ho also says there are many native
tin factories. To put it mildly, even
as Horace Greeley would have done:
He is a good liar.— C/iicaijo

THERE are few men who dare claim
that the workers of this free and glori
ous country are as prosperous as they
should be. The general impression
that something is wrong gains strength
with every rattle given forth by tlie
chains of industrial slavery. The
clanking of these invisible links which
bind the strongest men of the land is
commanding the attention of people
outside the ranks of the common la
borer, ami those who try to fathom
the secrets of the future give out
warnings of the results which are
bound to exist if the social conditions
of to-day are carried to their logical
conclusions. "The land of the free
and the home of the slave" has good
prospects of being realized unless a
radical change soon takes place.

fall, on Monday night, while trying to
escape from tlie jail in Sunbury.
Restricting Immigration.
To tlie theorists who claim that the
cause of the ills of society and the in
creasing poverty of the masses is due to
the country being overcrowded, and who
therefore demand the restriction of im
migration, we beg to submit a few figures
for their mastication.
According to a recent census bulletin,
the quantity of land and water surface in
the United States is 98.16 and 1.84 per
cent, respectively. So whatever we may
lay to the land, the water will not trouble
us much at any rate. Taking the land
surface alone, the average number of
persons to each square mile is 21.06;
surely not a very strong indication of
crowding.
In the State of Texas alone there are
(in round numbers) about 181,000,000
acres of land area. Taking, for sake of
illustration, the population of the country
at 60,000,000, we could place therein our
entire people, giving to each man, woman
and child Sacres on the average. Group
ing the population into families of live
each, we would have 12,000,000 families
with 15 acres of land per family.
Khode Island is said to be the most
densely populated State in the Union.
Well, l'f Texas alone was to be as thickly
settled as Rhode Island, it would have
83,523,628 inhabitants, or one-third more
than our present population. And by tlie
time the entire United States becomes
populated in the same proportion, we
shall have the splendid aggregation of
945,706,300 souls instead of the paltry
sixty millions of the present duy.
How silly, in the face of these figures
it is to talk of overcrowding ! It is true,
too true alas! that hundreds of thousands
of men and women are in idleness for
lack of work, but the trouble is not that
the great opportunities for work are ex
hausted, but that we have built up a
system of landlordism by which the great
natural resources, the very fountains of
production, are held out of use and men
denied access to them. Thus it is that
the land area is to all practical purposes
reduced and exhausted, for that which is
held out of use might just as well not
exist at all.
The remedy for th is cursed condition
does not lie in restricting men in their
natural rights to go and come where and
when they will, but to make men pay
for holding valuable opportunities out of
use by charging them for the value of the
privileges they enjoy and monopolize.
The surest, easiest and speediest way to
do this is by means of the single tax upon
land values. When this is done land will
be thrown open for occupancy and use,
and with men dispersing themselves over
the land, as they naturally would do, we
shall have no occasion to burden our
brains with schemes for restricting immi
gration.—l'hila. Cable.
The "Cat" In Pastures New.
The North American, of Philadelphia,
is earnestly advocating the building of
an elegant boulevard in that city, to ex
tend from the Public Building to Fair
mount Park. The project has received
the commendation of the people in
general, but it requires years of coaxing
to induce Philadelphians to adopt any
thing proposed for their benefit. Yet
the North American is undaunted by
Quaker fogyism, and has gone so far as
to prove, not only its great advantages,
but how the cost of this mammoth un
dertaking can be defrayed, equally. Its
plan would be to tax the increased value
of land along the new avenue, claiming
that such is the only just and equitable
manner of assessment. And Philadel
phia or any other community will never
iind a better and fairer method of rais
ing revenues, yet the North American is
one of the last papers in the country we
expected to see so vigorously supporting
i the fundamental principles of George's
theories. But they all discover, often
unconsciously, the true solution of tax
ation when partisan bigotry is dropped.
Still, if anyone should insinuate that
this hide-bound monopolistic organ was
| advocating single taxism it would in
dignantly resent the accusation and the
i ghost of Colonel McMichael would rise
i from its grave to check the spread of
| education. They map call it what they i
may and disguise justice as best they can,
' hut there are those to whom the single
tax is ever welcome and just as sweet
i under any other name.
The Exhausted Treasury.
Mr Foster lias decided to extend tlie
4} per cent, bonds. He cannot pay
them without defaulting on current de
mands against the government.
Ten years ago, when Mr. Windom
funded the accruing debt, there was
plenty of money in the treasury, and it
was admitted by all who were then famil
iar with the condition of the treasury
that the government could easily pay the
4j and 4 per cent, bonds, due in 1891
and 1907 from the sinking fund—the
first from the fund of the year in which
they fell due and a small part of the
sinking fund of the previous year,
while 4s would be wiped out by the
subsequent annual contributions to the
fund.
ltut Mr. Foster can make no contri
bution to the sinking fund this year or
next year. The Billion-Dollar Congress
has made that impossible. He must,
therefore, extend the bonds instead of
1 paying them. For many years the
treasury has been more than complying
with the sinking fund law. Now it has
not a dollar for it. And the Demo
cratic party has a stupendous task,
well-nigh impossible, to so reduce ex
penses that tlie treasury can meet the 4
per cents when they fall flue in 1907.
N. Y. World.
Democratic Societies.
It is anything but an easy task to
effect political organization of any kind
at this season of the year, but Senator
Calvin S. Brice, chairman of the Nation
al Democratic Committee, in two recent
circular letters earnestly calls the atten
tion of Democratic voters to some mat
ters which they cannot safely neglect
much longer. Senator Brice strongly
urges the necessity of forming Demo
cratic Societies everywhere for the pur
pose of discussion and the dissemination
of political information upon the issues
of the next Presidential campaign. The
Republican system of clubs is being rap
idly organized upon a most thorough
basis, and it is essential to Democratic
success that it should he met by an
equally compact organization.
Chairman Brice recalls the fact that
the overthrow of the Federalist party,
the election of Jefferson to the Presi
dency, and the inauguration of the long
and prosperous era of Democratic ascend
ency in the Government, were largelv
! duo to the DemocraticSocietiesand their
resolute defense of Democratic princi
, pies. Though nearly one hundred years
, have elapsed since then, the political
conditions are not so widely different as
may appear on the surface. The ancient
Federalism, which the Jeffersonian De
, | raocracy overcame, sought to establish a
. strong centralized government, and to
( exclude the musses as much as possible
. from participation in its management as
1 well as from its benefits. By somewhat
1 different methods the latest successors
[ i of the Federalists are endeavoring to at
tain much the same ends. The McKin
ley tariff is the corner-stone in a govern
ment system of favoritism for exploiting
the many for the benefit of the few—a
system directly at war with the Jeffer
i sonian doctrine of the greatest good to
the greatest number. From the mono
polistic beneficiaries of this system of
spoliation are. drawn the supplies for or
ganizing and subsidizing the partisan
clubs which sustain its power in the
Government. The only effective means
of combating such a power is in an orga
nization having its initiative and its im
pulse from the people. This organiza
tion is provided by the National Associa
tion of Democratic Clubs. These clubs
should be organized effectively-and made
ready for action in behalf of Tariff Re
form at as early a day as possible in
every village and township in the land.
If the people will not attend to the po
litical business that most nearly concerns
them, they need not expect anybody
else to do it for them.— Record.
The WageK of Protection.
A staff correspondent of the Pittsburg
Post writes to his paper as follows:
While taking a trip recently I came to '
a massive building of huge stone, located ;
on Antis creek, in Lycoming County, in j
the great Republican protection State of t
Pennsylvania. The noise caused by the |
working of the machinery within made
me stand in fear of passing this monster j
building. The windows being open the
rattling and clattering were all the more |
audible. However, my curiosity was
raised and I ventured nearer and ac- j
costed one of the employes of the estab- j
lishment. He was a very pleasant fellow !
and ready for all interrogation. I asked I
him what the great institution was. He
answered that it was the Nippenose
woolen mill. I passed the day in this
place, and gathered some facts relative
to the wages paid the employes of the
woolen mill, which I will give below.
Michael Barner, after 18 years' service
in the mill, receives $1.12 per day as j
cloth dyer. This is his reward for strict
attention to duty—an increase of 12
cents in 12 years. The weavers receive |
3 cents per yard for weaving the finest j
goods, and if they wish to purchase j
enough cloth for a pair of pants they
have to pay at the company's store from |
$1 to $2 per yard. The heavy price, I
presume, is caused by "protection to
American labor." ('loth speckers re
ceive 50 cents per day. Cloth finishers
get 75 cents per day. Warp drawers get
75 cents per (lay. Mule and jack spinners
get 50 cents, and the engineer, who must
certainly be a responsible man, receives
$1 a day.
Samuel Shutt, who is loom repairman,
receives $1.50 per day. Mr. Shutt, who
formerly got but $1.25 for the same ser
vice, was discharged for some cause and
an Englishman secured to fill his posi
tion. The Englishman informed the
owners that his salary could be nothing
less than $2.50 per day. This paralyzed
the management, which let him go at
once, and was forced to seek out Mr.
Shutt, who refused to return to work at
the old wages, and the owners were
forced with broken hearts to rehire him
at increased pay.
The working hours are from G A. M.
to 6 P. M., and the employes have, some
of them, to walk three" miles to the
factory. Some keep large families on
their small pittances they receive as
wages.
Henry Halfpenny <s: Co. arc the present:
owners of the mill. Mr. Halfpenny, j
whom the writer happens to know for I
the past fifteen years, used to be a great I
Greenbacker when money was not so j
plentiful with him. To-day he is a pro-1
ducer of protected goods and as rank a !
Republican as walks in Pennsylvania. I
I presume the change came through the
political campaign of education.
I'roliibltionitttH Declare for Free Trade, j
The principle of reciprocity can be
applied either to protection or to free
trade. In the present tariff laws it is
applied on protection lines. It can be
applied on free trade lines as well, and
that is the only way that this country
can readily secure real free trade with
other countries when she wants it.
The Prohibition party of Ohio, in con
vention held in Springfield last month,
adopted as part of the platform the fol
lowing plank :
"Tariff should lie levied only as a
defense against foreign governments
which levy tariff upon or bar out our
products from their markets, revenue
being incidental. The residue of means
necessary to an economical administra
tion of the government should lie raised
by a graduated income tax."
This means free trade. It is a strong,
clear, unequivocal declaration in favor of
free trade, pure and simple, absolute
and reciprocal. It is against both a pro
tective tariff and a tariff for revenue
only. The plank is an unprecedented
| one in the history of American politics.
To this convention belongs the honor of
being the first to adopt a resolution
applying the principle of reciprocity to
free trade. The application is sound
and logical. When the I'nited States
wants free trade with other countries,
that is the only way by which it can bo
readily secured.— Farm and Fireside.
Piiroclilul School h I'raised.
Editor Feist, of the White Haven
Journal , in his account of the closing
exercises in the parochial schools at that
place, pays a glowing and no doubt
deserved tribute to these institutions,
lie says:
Public closing exercises of schools, in
my opinion, will in a good many in
stances reach parents through their
children, and form in them a desire for
knowledge which is the most efficient of
all ways to bring them to appreciate the
value of good schools, and the education
of theirchildren. St. Patrick's Parochial
Schools can bo recommended to the
parents of those who send their children
there, as a school well worthy of its
maintenance. They could not wish their
vouths trained to a better taste for
knowledge than their present prescribed
curriculum is adapted to impart. That
the work of the school is conducted with
the utmost system, and that the as
semblage of personal qualities and high
accomplishments, of the Sisters, which
render their influence upon the pupils in
every respect effective and thorough, is
very preceptible.
Porter's ITnrelinhle Census.
So much of the Census Office work
has been discredited that it is not sur
prising to hear from New York that the
statistics of the expenditures of that city
given in comparison with other cities are
grossly exaggerated. Controller Myers,
who was not consulted on the subject,
although he has all the facts on which to
make up the returns, says that the Census
Office has added #17,000,0f 0 to the ordi- j
nary expenditures and $10,000,000 to the
administrative expenditures. The per
capita rate is, of course, correspondingly
too high. The Census Office seems to he
too much given to making up returns
without consulting proper authorities. It
is announced that statistics are about to
be published, giving the membership of
various churches and that the member
ship of Roman Catholic churches is to he
limited to communicants over 15 years of
age, which is the limit adhered to in the
statistics of other churches. The Catholic
Church has communicants in full mem
bership younger than 15 years of age. It
would seem proper, therefore, to give
the membership of the Catholic and all
other churches as recognized by their
own authorities. If, then, for purposes
of comparison, it should be thought de
sirable to reduce all to a common basis,
the statistics relating to those over 15
' years of age could also be given.— Ledger,
