Class Matter.
FREELAND, PA., JULY 23, 1891.
THE Democrats of Ohio are going
to placard the State from the lake to
the river, and from the Pennsylvania
to the Indiana line with Mr. Blaine's
famous statement that the McKinley
law did not open a market for another
bushel of wheat nor another barrel of
pork. This and the failure of wool to
advance will keep Mr. McKinley very
busy showing the benefits of his bill.
A GREAT many people are anxious
to know how the McKinleyites have
managed to set their tariff trap to
catch the market a-coming and a
going. If reduced tariff on sugar
makes cheap sugar, how does increas
ed tariff on clothing, boots and shoes,
tin, etc., make low prices on those
necessities 1 And if cheap sugar is a
good thing, why wouldn't cheap cloth
ing, cheap ploughs, cheap shoes, etc.,
be still better 1
FROM all accounts none of the Re- i
publican attorneys of this county (and .
there are some good ones among them)
have any desire to offer themselves as I f
a sacrifice to the judiciary nomination a
this fall. Lynch, with a united Demo-
cracy back of him, is too formidable *
an opponent to attack. The Republi
can machine is satisfied to let Darte i
have the nomination, knowing that 1
next November will be the last ever
of him in Luzerne.
PROTECTION as an aid to prosperity
was as signal a failure in Great Bri
tain as it has been in the Dominion.
Even in the United States, whose
great extent, large population and
diversity of climate, soil and produc
tion, afforded the best possible scope
for the successful working out of pro
tection, the system is breaking down.
Some of the protected classes want
more protection —after nearly 30 years
of high tariff fostering they confess
their inability to stand alone; they are
still infant industries.— Montreal
Herald.
BLAINE and Harrison are the only
men mentioned so far in connection
with the Republican nomination for
President. Both have very weak
points and neither can bring harmony
to the party. For such a once famous
organization it seems strange that
some name cannot be proposed which
would heal the differences and cement
the various factions. The Democrats
do not desire a walk-over in 1892, and
yet against either of these two they
would win hands down by nominating
Cleveland, Whitney, Campbell, Gray,
Boies, Russel or any other honest
Democrat.
FROM the little republic of Vene
zuela comes a sharp retort to Uncle
Sam's big, blustering administration
that it wants nothing to do with such
so-called reciprocity treaties as have
been proposed to South American
countries. If Republicans thought
the government of Venezuela is run
by a pack of jays, like the United
States, they have discovered their
error. In rejecting the proposal the
Congress of that country tells Blaine
they have the friendliest feelings
towards America and hopes to meet
us with a treaty of reciprocity, "based
upon fair and impartial conditions."
Just a delicate reference to full and
absolute free trade.
THE Republicans are having a high
old time among themselves these days.
One faction is kicking up a row and
opening the way for a grand party
quarrel because Quay, Andrews til Co.
will not release their hold upon the
organization. Another element wants
all hands to get together and bury
the hatchet. More are attracting
some attention by the opposition
manifested to the slated candidates,
and the innumerable county and dis
trict dissensions help to keep the pot
boiling. This wrangling and recent
developments have disgusted the better
portion of the Republican party, who
are watching matters with a sullen
silence that forbodes no good for their
bosses.
THE contest for Governor of Ohio
between Campbell and McKinley is
to be something more than a State
affair. Both men are fair specimens
of the parties they represent and the
issue will be waged strictly on the
tariff lines. McKinley is personally
a very popular man and has the sup
port of the national administration.
Campbell is handicapped by a free
silver plank in his platform, is oppos
ed by disappointed office seekers and
must overcome an average Republi
can majority of nearly 30,000. But
the workings of protection is expected
to settle the affair in favor of the
Democrats. Cleveland and other pro
minent orators will stump the State
for Campbell, and the voters of Ohio
will witness the most exciting cam
paign ever known in this country.
THE Plymouth Tribune made its first
appearance last week, neatly printed
and filled with lots of local news. Its
editor, W. H. Capwell, starts out under
very auspicious conditions and there is
no good reason why the new venture
will not succeed. The TBIBUKI extends
good wishes to its Plymouth namesake.
Tha' 1* What Hurto Farmers.
The 01 ■pmnization of the Farmer' Al
liance is sign of the times. Every so
cial or ii Khistrial movement that invol
ves a coi isiderable body of the people
and persists in its demands is a sign of
the times —and the Farmers' movement
iscertainlly a phenomenon of this kind.
It indicates that the political conditions
of the c ountry are unsatisfactory and
that the vast body of the people engaged
in tilling the soil for a living are discon
tented. The country, as a whole, is
prosperous. In the last decade the
population has increased 12,500,000 and
six new States have been added to the
Union. Ovie bountiful crop after another
has added its increment to the general
wealth. The railroad mileage has in
crep.Bed from 93,000 to 170,000, and the
internal, tratlic of the country is estimat
ed at $25,000,000,000 figures so vast
that they can only be stated, not com
prehended. We produce more gold and
silver than any three other countries in
the world; we make more iron than
Great Britain, or any other country; and
Hon. Wm. McKinley of Ohio told
nothing but the plain truth when he
said : "We lead all nations in agricul
ture; we lead all nations in mining, and
we lead all nations in manufacturing."
But why are the farmers discontented
in the midst of this phenomenal prosper
ity ? Why is it that the largest class of
workers in the land, and the class which
contributes more than any other to the
general wealth, finds it necessary to or
ganize in alliances, hold conventions and
thrust its grievances before the public?
Never before in the history of the
country did the farmers as a body talk
so much about mortgages, low prices of
crops, scarcity of money, the pressure of
debts, the difficulty of finding a crop
that will pay for raising it, the impossi
bility of selling their farms at any
reasonable price, and the general bard
ships of their condition. Why is it they
do so now? What is the matter with
the farmers?
It is not that railroads are owned by
corporations instead of by the Govern
ment; it is not that railroad property is
assessed at two low a valuation; nor that
there are to few Union veterans receiv
ing pensions; nor that the President and
Vice-President are chosen by electors
instead of by the direct vote of the
people—nor ail these together, as some <
of their conventions appear to imagine; i
and when Farmers' conventions mumble
about these things they give painful evi
dence that they do not grasp the situa
tion.
I The real cause of farmers' hardships is
to he found in a single word—protection.
Other agencies have something to do
with the trouble, such an extravagance
at Washington, excessive land grants to
Eastern corporations owning railroads in
the West, and manipulation of the na
tional debt and finances during the last
twenty-seven years in the interest of the
moneyed section and the creditor classes.
But the pre-eminent and overshadowing
cause is that the Government has exalted
manufacturing over all other and foster
ed it at the expense of other producing
interests, particularly that of agriculture;
that certain kinds of manufacturing,
found chiefly in the Northeastern States,
have been favored and protected by the
Government by a system of tolls and
exactions that fall most heavily upon
that class which, being the ground-sill of
the social structure, is incapable of
1 charging them against a class next below
I it—the tillers of the soil.
Somebody must pay for the protective
favors which have made the manufactur
ing interest and the manufacturing sec
tion so enormously rich, for it is impossi
ble to protect one class except at the
cost of others. It has been estimated
that the sum that every farmer's family
in the land pays to protected manu
facturers in the shape of excessive prices
for articles of necessity and comfort is
is SSO a year, and that is what hurts the
farmers. — Cutasauqua Record.
Darte Can't lie KlecteU.
Parte can never be elected judge in
' this county. The people are sick and
tired of the Parte's and their constant
demands for public office. Two terms as
district attorney and one of county com
missioner ought to satisfy any reason
able minded family. But when it comes
to sucking at the public money bags the
Partes are unsatiable. Moreover Alfred
Parte has not made such a record as
district attorney as will abtain for him
any great degree of public support or
confidence. His administration of that
important office has been weak, nerve
less and disappointing. The conviction
of any important "criminals, when the
prosecution was unassisted by private
counsel was a very rare occurrence and
many a red handed criminal has been
turned loose in this community absolved
from all blame solely through "the ineffi
ciency and nerveless manner in which
the prosecution was conducted.
Against John Lynch, Alfred Parte
will not stand even a ghost of a show.
Mr. Lynch will make a candidate of
wonderful strength. This is becoming
more manifest every day. Men and in
fluential ones, who in the past have been
openly hostile to him are gathering
round him and preparing to enter the
conflict in his behalf heartily and with
enthusiasm. John Lynch will make a
food judge and will be kept on the bench
or at least another ten years.—News
dealer.
Town Lota Too High to Build.
Under the above caption a correspon
dent in the Slatington Neica discusses
a subject which, in the main, is equally
applicable to Freeland, lie says:
This seems to be a general complaint
in our borough and the lot owners come
in for the blame. I think th'iß is unjust
to the lot owners, because they are act
ing lawfully and the law presumes that
a man will take all he can lawfully
obtain for what he has to sell; and it i n
doing so he injures others I think \ ve
should blame the law that sanctions
the injustice rather than those who
profit by it, especially as every man
with means can buy land if he wishes
and his not buying helps no one.
That a few lot owners in this town
have power to hinder every improve
ment is true, and much to be regretted;
but we cannot say they arc acting either
unlawfully or unreasonably in getting all
they can for their lots, and this is the
cause of complaint and must continue
until the unearned value of land is taken
for public use, because the whole people
earn and own it.
. To illustrate this, let us say a work
puaa bought a lot four years ago for
$l5O anil it is now worth SSOO. The
money he paid represented perhaps 100
days labor. The lot he bought had cost
no labor and no matter how the owner
obtained title the land had cost nothing
in labor, "the only standard of value "
This workingman in like manner holds
it idle for four years and in that time it
has doubled its value and he can take
S3OO or say 200 days labor for it if he
wishes to sell. This is a plain case and
involves a plain question. Has his
money or his owning the lot earned the
$l5O increase in value? There can be
but one answer. It has not earned the
increase any more than a rich landowner
does where greater injustice is done
Now let us say he can get S3OO for his
lot, but for four years it has been in
creasing in value $37.50 a year legal
interest on $625. Is he likely to sell the
lot while it is likely to earn him over
double the interest he could obtain for
the use of his money by lying idle?
It is strictly true that none of the in
creasing land value is earned by owning
land, and that every dollar taken for it,
is taken unjustly from the wages or
earnings of labor; but it is taken legally,
by the privilege of owning land. No
one can defend private property in land
as a right. It is a class privilege that we
inherited with negro slavery, and must
like it pass away before equal rights are
possible or labor obtains just wages.
Property in land is a privilege of taking
the produce of labor without earning.
The remedy is simply taxing all such
privileges to their value, then justice will
be done and no one will want to hold
land idle and hinder production. I do j
not blame lot owners for making all they
can lawfully but all the same their gains
are legalized robbery, and this no one
can deny and all ought t<> know if our
laws are to become consistent with our
profession of men's equal rights.
Single Tax Demands.
Frequent requests have been made to
the TBIBUNB by parties desiring to obtain
a more definite idea regarding the single
tax, and in reply to these we publish
the platform of this class of political
economists, which is as follows :
We assert as our fundamental principle the j
self-evident truth enunciated in the Dechira- j
tion of American Independence, that all men
are ereated equal and arc endowed by their j
creator with certain inalienable rights.
We hold that all men are equally entitled to
the use and enjoyment of what Clod has created
and of what is gained bj the general growth
and improvement of the community of which
they are a part. Therefore, no one should be
permitted to hold natural opportunities with
out a fair return to all for any special privilege
thus accorded to him, and that value which the
growth and improvement of the community at
tach to land should be taken for the use of the
community.
We hold that each man is entitled to all that
his labor produces. Therefore no tax should be
lovied on the products of labor.
To carry out these principles we are In favor
of raising all public revenues for national,
state, county and municipal purposes by a sin
gle tax upon land values, irrespective of im
provements, and of the abolition of all forms of
direct and indirect taxation.
Since in all our States we now levy some tax
on the value of land, the single tax can be in
stituted by the simple and easy way of abolish
ing, one after another, all other taxes now |
levied, and comraensurately increasing the tax
on land values, until we draw upon that one
source for all expenses of government, the rev
enue being divided between local governments
State governments and the general govern
ment, as the revenue from direct taxes is now
divided between the local and State govern
ments; or, a direct assessment being made by
the general government upon the States and
paid by them from revenues collected in this
manner.
The single tax we propose is not a tax on
land, and therefore would not fall on the use of
land and become a tax on labor.
It is a tax, not on land, but on the value of
land. Thus it would not fall on all land, but
only on valuable land, and on that, not in pro
portion to the use made of it, but in proportion
to its value—the premium which the user of
land must pay to the owner, either in purchase
money or rent, for permission to use valuable
land. It would thus be a tax not on the use or
; improvement of land, but on the ownership ol
. land, taking what would otherwise go to the
owner as owner and not as user.
In assessments under the single tax all valuec
( created for individual use or improvement
would be excluded, and the only value taken
into consideration would be the value attaching
to the bare land by reason of neighborhood, etc.,
to be determined by Impartial periodical assess
ments. Thus the farmer would have no more
taxes to pay than the speculator who held ti
similar piece of land idle, and the man who on n
j city lot erected a valuable building would hi
{ taxed no more than the man who held a similai
, lot vacant.
The single tax, in short, would call upon men
to contribute to the public revenues, not in
proportion to what they produce or accumulate,
but In proportion to the value of the natural
opportunities they hold. It would compel them
to pay just as much for holding land idle as for
putting it to its fullest use.
The single tax, therefore, would—
1. Take the weight of taxation off of the agri
cultural districts where land has little or no
value irrespective of improvements, and put it
on towns and cities where bare land rises to a
value of millions of dollars per acre.
2. Dispense with a multiplicity of taxes and a
horde of tax-gatherers, simplify government
and greatly reduce its cost.
3. Do away with the fraud corruption and
gross inequality inseparable from our present
methods of taxution, which allow the rich to
escape while they grind the pour. Land cannot
be hid or carried off, and its value can be ascer
tained with greater ease and certainty than any
other.
4. Give us with all the world as ]>erfcct free
dom of trade as now exists between the States
of our Union, thus enabling our people to share,
through free exchanges, in all the advantages
which nature has given to other countries, or
which the peculiar skill of other peoples has en
abled them to attain. It would destroy the
trusts, monopolies and corruptions which aro
the outgrowths of the tariff. It would do away
with the tines and penalties now levied on any
one who improves a farm, erects a house, builds
a machine or in any way adds to the general
stock of wealth. It would leave everyone free
to applv labor or expend capital in production
or exchange without tine or restriction, and
would leave to each the full product of his
exertion.
6. It would, on the other hand, by taking for
public use that value which attaches to land by
reason of the growth and Improvement of the
community, make the holding of land unprofit
able to the mere owner, and profitable only to
the user. It would thus make it impossible for
speculators and monopolists to hold natural op
portunities unused or only half-used, and would
throw open to labor the illimitable field of em
ployment which the earth offers to man. It
would thus solve the labor problem, do away
with involuntary poverty, raise wages in all oc
cupations to the full earnings of labor, make
overproduction impossible until all human
wants are satisfied, render labor-saving inven
tions a blessing to all, and cause such an enor
mous production and such an equitable distri
bution of wealth as would give to all comfort,
leisure and participation in the advantages of
an advancing civilization.
With respect to monopolies other than the
monopoly of land, we hold that where free com
petition becomes impossible, as in telegraphs,
railroads, water and gas supplies, etc., such
business becomes a proper social function,
which should be controlled and managed by
and for the whole people concerned,*through
their proper government, local, State or na
tional, as may lie.

ject can be obtained by subscribing to

It is manufactured as powder, which can be
given in a glass of beer, a cup of coffee or tea,
or in food, without the knowledge of the pa
tient. It is absolutely harmless, and will effect
a permanent and speedy cure, whether the pa
tient is a moderate drinker or au alcoholic
wreck. It has been given in thousands of cases
and in every instance a perfect cure has fol
