WITH the farmers of the West groan ing beneatti a load of mortgages and the workingmen of the East struggling against reductions in their pay, is it any wonder the Republicans acknowledge the ontlook for success is decidedly blue? The promised prosperity that Americans were to enjoy under the workings of the McKinley hill has not made its appear ance, and never will while the nation upholds a tariff or indirect tax law. THERE is no reason why we should despair of the welfare of the American people! If the agitation of organized labor, if science and progress are unable to arouse the enslaved masses from their stupor, there are men like Andrew Car negie who will bring it all about. Car negie, you are one of the best agitators for tlie social revolution which w ill over throw the system that produced human monsters of your brutal species!— A', of L. Journal. WHEN I'ennsylvaniuns elect a Demo cratic legislature they can bid good-bye to Pinkertonism. Upon the recom mendations of the governors of New- York and Indiana laws have been passed in these states forbidding the employment of secret bands of armed tlmgs within their borders, and if the workingmen of this state give the Demo crats a majority at Harrisburg they may rest assured that a similar bill will grace our statute-hooks. THE Republican party knows that the threatened force bill prevents it from ever breaking the solid South, and under the leadership of the Philadelphia l'rem all the monopolistic organs in the state have revived the civil war again. The;, are fighting all the old battles and, of course claiming credit for every vic „ - tory. Subscribers of some Republican sheets bave digested an awful amount of rubbish if they read what the editors try to write about. THROUGH the courtesy of Congressman Johnson, of Ohio, several more copies of the congressional edition of Henry George's hook, "Protection or Free Trade," have been received at this office. Those who applied too late for copies can now be supplied, providing tiiey call or send for them immediately. The hooks go faster than we can receive ttrern from Washington. Any one can J obtain the hook by addressing a postal | to any Democratic congressman. VISITORS to the world's fair will be furnished an object lesson in political economy. Through the efforts of the single tax club of Chicago permission lias been obtained for foreign exhibitors to label their wares with the price at home and the price in this country. The subject, when brought before the direc tors of the exposition, created quite a stir. The Republicans and protectionists fought hard against allowing Americans to see how the tariff was robbing them, hut the woods are filled with free trailers these days and this little victory was only a forerunner of what is to come. IF it were not for the grave importance of the question it would be amusing to notice how quickly the majority of the Republican papers gave all possible as sistance to the highly-protected manu facturer of Homestead. The biased and garbled reports of the trouble printed in the monopolistic organs opposed to or ganized labor made it appear that the strikers were cold-blooded murderers anil assassins instead of being protectors of their little homes and positions. The men were buncoed into giving their sup port to protection, and they are right in demanding a share of the spoils which Carnegie has fleeced from the consumers of his protected product. WRITERS of sensational special dis patches seem to have captured a number of Republican papers in this state. A G. O. P. organ the other day announced under a big display head that 30,(10(1 New York Irish voters had bolted Cleve land because "he is a free trader and," as the sjMX'iai correspondent put it, "aJ friend of England's." That would be | very important, if true, but as the story | was nothing more than the product of a j fertile and imaginative brain it will not ; count in the result next November. The nationality mentioned cannot be swayed from one side to another like a herd of cattle, as the special dispatch j writers would have the public believe, j The Lion and the LMinli. There is no reason why people should stand amazed and wonder at the turbu- j lent condition of a large portion of the labor world. These strikes, conflicts, I opposition to law and the blood that has [ been shed are the legitimate fruit of the policy pursued by the lawmakers of this and nearly every other country. The men who rise in rebellion against the effects of the present system of taxation are to be pitied for their folly. Instead ot seeking the cause of their helpless condition and discovering through what power the monopolists hold them like slaves, they waste their strength and energy by demanding temporary relief in the form of high wages. It must be as plain as day to any man who is anx ious to know the truth that the skirmish at Homestead is a warning that a social conflict is coming unless some radical changes are made in the laws. It sounds very sweet to talk of capital and labor lying down like the lion and the lamb, but this has been tried so of ten and the result has always been so one-sided that the lamb will be pardoned for refusing to indulge again in these demonstrations of brotherly love. Bet ter for the millions of innocent lambs to spend their time in tracing the power of the lion back to its source, and by cut ting off or curbing the supply of its strength the lion will become a very timid and accomodating companion and friend. Both will then be strong enough to defend and demand their rights, hut powerless to oppress one another. Beating Hi. H .j Around the World. An American from Boston has reached Paris on a voyage around the world, "personally conducted" by himself under entirely novel circumstances. His avowed object is to complete the whole trip without the expenditure of any money whatever, and, according to his own statement, he Ims already crossed the ocean and visited England and Ger many in accordance with the conditions of his self imposed task, which also con tains the stipulation that ho must do no work on the voyage. Needless to say that our traveler's rather nnusnal methods do not meet with the approval of all the hotel keepers whom he honors with his custom, and in Berlin he under went one month's imprisonment for fail ing to pay his hill. The only wonder is that this unusuul kind of traveler does not spend most of his time in jail, hut, needless to say, he is gifted with an unlimited supply of what may be best described as "self confidence," and is a past master in the peculiarly American art of "bluffing." As he himself puts it, "If I can only make a man laugh I've got him I" and certainly there is a sublime assurance about his system which must force a smile even from his victims. Our cir cumnavigator lias, of course, not set himself any particular route for his voyage, as he is dependent on "free passes," and lias to be content with what he can get in that direction. Tims, to reach Paris from Berlin—as the railway companies declined to oblige him—Mr. Cook traveled via Bremen and London. He is now hoping to reach the Riviera, but what his itinerary will be is a matter of conjecture even to himself.—Paris Cor. London Telegraph. Killed by a Skyrocket. An impromptn celebration that was held In honor of tho nrrivul of a delega tion of Tnrnors from Freeport, Ills., was suddenly brought to a close by the al most Instant killing of a man. A sky rocket, supposed to have been set off by a crowd of yonng boys, penetrated his forehead, and pnrt of the stick was broken off and left imbedded in his brain. As the procession reached the corner of Blue Island avenue and Polk street Philip Knopp, who hail been watching the parade from the sidewalk, was struck by a skyrocket. The man's head anil face were covered with blood, and Officer Halle, calling assistance, carried him into a neighboring drugstore. Dr. Lahey was summoned, and Knopp was sent at once to the county hospital. On the way Dr. Lahey extracted part of the stick, eight inches ill length and three eighths of an inch square. It had en tered just above the right eye, and had gone through the brain until the end was blunted against the hack of the skull. Knopp lived only a few moments. —Chicago News Record. Cowboy Bailors Not Just the Thing. Captain Hanson, of the new schooner .Spray, on her maiden voyage from tho Suislaw river, in Oregon, had a lively [ experience with cowboy sailors. With j six of this new variety the captain put to sea. Hardly had he got outside when a strong southeast gale came up. The j schooner rolled fearfully and the cow- I lioys became terribly sick and lay in a j heap in the forecastle perfectly helpless. The captain and liiß mate succeeded in lowering the foresail, and with the nntln- ; sail and jibs set the schooner wus driven 1 liefore the gale at a terrific rate. Sev eral seas were shipped and one of the j cowboys was washed against the lumber on deck, breaking his leg. When the j weather moderated the captain put into j Port Townsend, where the injured cow- j boy sailor was sent to the Marine hos pital. Two sailors were engaged and the schooner made the trip down in i twelve days. The five cowboy sailors | have decided not to go to sea any more. ! —San Francisco Chronicle. Subscribe for the Tain INK. WILL SHINE IN THE NEXT HOUSE. Colouel H. L. Moore, Nominee of the Dem ocrats in the Second Kansas District. The gentleman who will represent the people of the Second Kansas district in the next house of representatives is Col onel H. L. Moore, a man of rare literary ability and a Democrat of life- Jk long standing. J Colonel Moore teg aH was born in Ohio P7 ••- in 1837, enlisted fir in the Second Kansas infantry JfwliOM sA in 1801 and served i continuously un til the close of the < war. After the yi/ war he located in y Lawrence, Kan., and successfully COLONEL H. L. MOOHE. conducted a mercantile business, retir ing a few years ago. Colonel Moore is a fluent and forceful speaker, and is noted as being one of the best Shake spearean scholars in the west. He is tall and commanding in appearance, and is very popular in the district, having been elected county treasurer on an independ ent ticket. The Democracy of the Sec ond district is to be congratulated on securing so able a gentleman as its standard bearer, and his election is a foregone conclusion. Lightning Won't Strike lliiu Again. Mr. Carnegie's fight with the wage earners in his employ will bring sorrow to the heart of the unlearned economist of the White House. He has consoled himself with the thought that what has been done can be done again. But, though "the Lord did it" before, there may be difficulty now that his old allies have been driven from the field by the adoption of election laws which render blocks of five useless in a campaign for protection to American industries.— Chicago Times. An Excellent Suggestion. It is said that the president is dissatis fied with Campbell as chairman of the national committee, now that he lias found out his antecedents. Why not appoint John Wanamaker in his place? Wanamaker has demonstrated his abil ity to extort campaign funds from the monopolists, and can probably do it as well as Campbell. Besides, this would take Wanamaker out of the cabinet, and that would be something toward making the president popular.—Boston Herald. Why They Were Nut I'HHHOII. The reaching of the end of the fiscal year without the passing of the general appropriation bills is not by any means a novel exi>orience. This year the ap propriation bills would long since have been passed save that the Republican senate had added extravagant amend ments, with the hope of destroying the Democratic claim to economy, and stub bornly stuck to them. Such are the real facts, and the country knows them.— Cincinnati Enquirer. Ilei>ublicaiiß Ileally "ltuttlcil." That the Republicans are badly scared about Illinois is shown not only by the appointment of the big four attorney as chairman of their national committee, but also by the frantic campaign of slander which they have begun against General Stevenson. They realize fully that Illinois is a doubtful state, and they fear that in spite of their most strenu ous efforts it will take its place squarely and finally in the Domocratic column. —St. Louis Republic. "The Hume Campbell." President Harrison's idea, as disclosed by Senator Farwell, is that "the same Campbell" was too bad to bo collector at Chicago, but is just bad enough to be a successor to Quay as chairman of the national committee. Mr. Campbell's idea, according to the latest advices from the west, is that ho is too good for the job expected of him. Mr. Harrison may lie glad after all to fall back on the old crowd.—New York World. A Pertinent Query. The availability of Mr. Cleveland at this time is the availability of the Dem ocratic party. Is there any sensible southern man who on reflection will re fuse to support the Democratic party when the Republican party is muster ing its boodlers and its bummers to turn the south over to negro rule?— Atlanta Constitution. Mtiny State* Are Doubtful. The president should not give all the cabinet and other appointments to Indi ana on the ground that it is a doubtful state. He should remember that the doubtful states are very numerous this year. On this busis Massachusetts, for example, ought to get as many offices as Indiana.—Boston Globe. Titers', n String on the 810,000. Quay has publicly offered to bet $lO,- 000 on Harrison. He realizes that it takes a big political bluff to square him with the administration, but if some body should call him he would be scur rying around privately trying to hedge $20,000 on Cleveland.—St. Louis Post- Dispatcli. Democracy. Democracy, hope of the nation! And born of the brave anil the free! From the farinhouHe to mill or plantation The foe of mouo(>oly will bel At thy name the tariff barons tremble, That are bred by high protection's reign, Grover Cleveland and Stevenson forever! Is the cry from Alaska to Maine. The rights of the peoplo forever! No rule of the favored few! The masses must rule this Republic! No trust bred plutocracy will do! Then let the people assemble! Then down with the tariff baron's reign! Grover Cleveland and Stevenson forever! Is the cry from Alaska to Muine. No patriots are born of & Force bill! No freemen of bayonet rule; But slaves who hate their oppressors Are bred by monopoly's tool! Then down with the trusts and the Force bill! Ye men that are free, without stain! Grover Cleveland and Stevenson forever! la the cry from Alaska to Maine. —Jersey Democrat in New York World. 1 1 CARNEGIE'S CHARITY HE SAYS PROTECTION RAISES WAGES, YET HE REDUCES THEM. Opinions of the Leading Newspapers of the Outrageous Condition of Affairs at tike "Protected" Homestead Mills of Carnegie & Co. The works have been inclosed by a high board fence of double thickness, and preparations have been made for an extended siege. Water pipes have l>een laid to different parts of the fence so that an attacking party can be resisted with hot or cold water, and electric wires have been strung along the top. It is now almost certain that the Carne gies are about to precipitate a great struggle between capital and labor. They have decided upon their course de liberately. They will undoubtedly fight the battle to a finish.—Buffalo Enquirer. Promise and Practice. But now comes the report that Mr. Carnegie is to make a cut in wages. The ( laborers expected a rise, for hail he not I predicted that result'/ And is he not a practical man? The McKinlcy hill is in full blast, but where is the promised millennium? Instead of raising wages | they are to lie lowered. Mr. Carnegie has managed to make both ends meet under the beneficent influence of the high tariff, but his laborers are here after to receive only half a loaf. The proprietor of the steel works has a larger income than he can spend, but the men at his work benches and forges, with a reduction of 80 per cent, their incomes, are well nigh desperate.—New York Herald. Curnegte Caused It All. The Amalgamated association speak ers who at a meeting at Homestead a short time ago said that they had voted for high tariff and got high fences, Pinkerton detectives and militia, will have to change that a little anil admit that with these have been given also hot water, search lights and a fortified aud loopholed stockade. Mr. Carnegie, one of the chief beneficiaries of the protec tive tariff, is the gentleman who is cut ting down the wages of theso men and forcing them to accept the reduction or to lose their situations.—Harrislmrg Patriot. A ltule Which Uue.n't Work. Just as the Republicans aro opening the campaign with a ringing indorse ment of protection in their platform, it is very unfortunate for them that An drew Carnegie now proposes to reduce the wages of his host of toilers from 10 to 50 per cent. Mr. Carnegie's various large iron industries enjoy the benefits of high protection, a policy which ac cording to Mr. Harrison should result in increased wages for the workingmen; and yet this tremendous cut is proposed under the full swing of McKinleyism.— Atlanta Constitution. Hypocritical Twaddle. It is a matter of history that while riding on the top wave of Republican favor, yelling about the "ennobling of American labor," in order to delude American workingmen into voting the Republican ticket, he (Carnegie) was se cretly contracting for Italians, Huns and Bohemians, whom he imported to this country to take the place of the American workingmen in his employ who demanded that they receive more than starvation wages for their labor.— Hartford Times. A Sad Commentary. The Pittsburg situation is a sad com mentary on the workings of McKinley ism. In the last presidential campaign Mr. Carnegie contributed SIOO,OOO to that cause, which he could well afford to do; and then, as soon as Harrison was elected, scaled his workingmen's wages by 10 per cent. This year he was get ting ready for another reduction, hut lie seems to be having some trouble about it. It is a weary business—bad in every way you look at it.—Cincinnati En quirer. Robbing Minors to Puy Assessments. Mr. Andrew Carnegie and the rest of the Pittsburg steel barons recognize the necessity of making liberal subscrip tions to the Harrison campaign fund; but tlioy want to wring the money out of the wages of tire men who toil in their mills. —Philadelphia Record. Another llar'l from Carnegie. In order to square himself with the president for precipitating a labor dis turbance it will be necessary for Mr. Carnegie to forward to the White House another barrel of that good old Scotch, freight prepaid.—Chicago Mail. Labor ami Klectrocutlon. Labor and electrocution acquire an intimate relation at the hands of the great protector, who has always l>een so conspicuously active in the cause of keeping out "pauper labor."—Boston Globe. Their Usual Diet. Mr. Carnegie should hasten back from his baronial halls. His employees will soon be crying for bread, and all they are likely to get is a campaign docu ment.—Boston Herald. The Principal Thing, In Fact. Carnegie's men protesting against a reduction in wages is not a very good boom for the Republican campaign 011 the beauties of protection.—Sioux City Tribune. The Mont Harmful Weapon. Winchester rifles are pretty efficient weapons in repelling invaders, but they are as peashooters compared with Bill McKinley's little law. —Chicago Mail. IL'h the Kind That Pays. The co-operation that Turiff Baron Carnegie believes in is the co-operation of McKinleyism and Pinkerton's Hes flians.— New York World. Frriail Ready Paj, Gi-roceries and.
