FREELAND, PA., JANUARY 19, 1893.
Murriage as an Option.
The divorce proceedings between the
artist, Mr. Stetson, and his wife have
taken up some space in the papers re
cently. They have differed from other
like attempts to sever the marriage tie,
in Mr. Stetson's profuse assertions that
he and his wife had no difference except
the slight but insuperable one that they
preferred living apart to living together.
For his late wife Mr. Stetson expresses a
high respect which she reciprocates.
They have no vulgar differences or
quarrels. Neither charged the other
with unfaithfulness. After some years
of married life in Providence, R. 1., and
Los Angeles, Cal., Mrs. Stetson discov
ered that there was much in life she
preferred to keeping house for Mr. Stet
son and Mr. Stetson reached the conclu
sion that it was hardly worth while to
have a wife, however gifted, who prefer
red living alone in California to making
him comfortable in Rhode Island.
Tliis mutual discovery led to a mutual
application for a divorce which in less
accommodating days the courts would
have rejected as collusive. It never
seem to have occurred to either that
marriage is not a mere convenience and
that its vows cannot be discharged and 1
dissolved by a common preference for
single life. The duty and obligation
which a man and woman owe to society,
not less than to themselves, sat lightly
on both. Neither seems for an instant
to have realized that the marriage rela
tion is in its nature and essence irrevo
cable, however men and women may
agree to rid themselves of its outer and
apparent bonds. Although one or the
other may break from its bonds or de
grade them by ignoble surrender to
fleshy passion, it still remains true that
the vows which unite a man and woman
in marriage work a change in the life
and all the relations of each which
make separation a frank confession of
dire failure in life's dearest desire.
Law, social practice and religious
sanction may modify the enduring char
acters of this lifelong contract in its
legal obligations and relations, but noth
ing alters or can alter the grim fact that
a man and woman who have once lived
together as man and wife can by no
possibility unlive what is past. Char
acter and all the relations of life are
altered, and, whatever compromise and
adjustment may be made, the irrevoca
ble fact remains that only death brings
freedom, and even this cannot change a
past which has altered the future.
The Roman Catholic Church has al
ways recognized this fact, with results
both good and evil, often oppressive
and by no means deserving of unmixed
praise. Up to a recent date ordinary
American society looked upon marriage
as so far irrevocable that it was impossi
ble for a woman and difficult for a man
to dissolve this bond, even for the most
serious of causes, without a distinct loss
of caste.
This has wholly ceased to be the case,'
as instances like that of the Stetsons
abundantly prove. This artist and his
wife evidently looked on marriage as an
option, which could be called off at will.
Their friends and kinsmen are evidently
ready to receive both without question
after the law has decently separated
them. The New Y'crk woman whose
mother gave a great reception with her
daughter's restored maiden name on the
cards to notify all the world of her di
vorce, or the Chicago woman who gave
a dinner to past and present spouses,
may be in advance of general practice as
yet, but they are only in advance. Free
and frequent divorce will yet make
their example common.
Yet nothing can alter the fact that a
society which lightly receives in good
standing those who are divorced is cer
tainly in no long time to find many
rea>ly to treat mart iage as a mere option.

The Federation of Labor of Washing
ton city is an organization embracing
twenty-eight local unions of working
men. Nearly half the delegates these!
unions send to the central organization
are foreign born, yet the federation re
cently passed a resolution asking con
gress to restrict immigration for five
years. Having got here, these delogates
see how it is for themselves.
Colonel John H. Weber, United States
commissioner of immigration, is known
to his countrymen as the one office
holder on record who handed in hiß
resignation to save the government his
salary Colonel Weber has been mak
ing a speech on immigration. He says it
will not do at all to stop it entirely. We
must have the Btrong bodied European
laborers to do the rough work and
develop our material resources. All
ends would be accomplished in his
judgment by having a national quaran
tine instead of a suspension of all foreign
steerage arrivals. The national quaran
tine could be made effective by means of
duplicate statements and a permanent
indexed system of records of all arriving
immigrants among other methods. Then
Colonel Weber gave his audience this
poser to work on. "Where will the serv
ant girl of the futni o come from if you
close the gates?" Perhaps Colonel Weber
forgot the colored girl.
The New Architecture.
Mr. Burr Ferreo's paper in The New
England Magazine brings us suddenly
face to face with the vast divergence in
the aims as well as the style of modern
architecture from the approved models
of the past. The difference may be
briefly expressed thus: In ancient times
architecture was for the gods: in mod
ern times it is for men. The same re
ligious idea dominated acliitocture dur
ing the Middle Ages and down even to
this century The churches of Europe
are the structures upon which both
wealth and artistic endeavor were
poured out unsparingly.
All has changed. Churches are still
built, beautiful and costly ones, too,
but the most costly and spacious do not
compare with the ancient temples of the
gods or even the cathedrals of the Mid
dle Ages Now the architect works for
man. He must expend his effort on
bouses that are for use six days in the
week instead of only one.
The most striking mouments of Nine
teenth century architecture are to be
found in the factory, the bank, the office
building, the railway station, the apart
ment house and especially in the school
and college building and the library
The use of the elevator has evolved tho
skyscraping edifice of the modern city
Not King Solomon himself had tho com
fort and convenience in his palace that
the modern well to do American citizen
enjoys. Modern architecture is the
deification of the useful. But modern
architecture is not beautiful, as Mr. Fer
ree reminds us It ought to be beauti
ful and must be made so.
To Get on In the World.
A good many thousand young men—
yes, and young women, too—are wonder
ing about this time how they shall fit
themselves for a creditable career, or, if
not a career, what they Bhall do to get at
least a comfortable living. The wants of
the time may be summed up in just two
precepts. The first is, learn to do some
thing useful and learn it thorougldy.
This is a time of specializing. On the
ono hand is rough labor, which is per
formed by the foreigners who crowd
over to America in the steerage. On
the other are the hundreds of skilled
trades and specialties and the few pro
fessions. in the professions the special
izing tendency is at work, differentiating
the criminal lawyer from the civil law
yer, the office practitioner from the ad
vocate and the specialist, like the latent
office legal expert, from both. Separate
again from these is the pension shark,
whose profession is not to be rec
ommended to anybody. In medicine
the differentiation is so great that in the
large cities the general practitioner is be
coming obsolete.
There is BO much to be known that a
lifetime is necessary to be thoroughly up
in one single line of achievement. Chooso
what you will do; choose carefully and
make nomistako. You can in a goneral
way determine what you can do best by
what you would like to do best. Then
go in for that work with all your powers,
full of hope and ambition, of energy
that does not flag, of determination that
no obstacle can down.
The next point is, cultivate agreoablo
manners. It is said that a certain fa
mous millionaire and railroad president
owes his rise in the world to his courte
ous and obliging manner to his employer
while he was young. Keep your eyes
open to see quickly where you can do
little kindnosses and favors to all aronnd
you, from highest to lowest. Do this
not from selfish motives, but from genu
ine good will and sympathy. You will
receive so much sympathy in return that
by and by the whole wave of good will
I rolling your way will push you onward
i to success. Cultivate graceful move
! ments of body, neatness of person and a
j kindly, musical voice. As has been said
over and again, use always in your oon-
I versation the best English you know.
SUNK BY PROTECTION
SOME OF THE CAUSES OF THE
RECENT AVALANCHE.
Cleveland's Tariff' Mesnugr—Tlie McKinley
Bill—Henry George's Works—Tragedy of
Homestead —Reform Clubs and Peck's
Report—The People Deserve Credit.
Cleveland's tariff message of 1887 is
generally supposed to have started the
campaign of education which has al
ready routed protectionism, and which
will not stop until we have a better sys
tem of taxation than the present one.
But this famous message was only one
of the milestones on the road out of the
miasmic swamps of protectionism and
special privilege. Clear headed men
like W. G. Sumner, David A. Wells and
Henry George have been pointing out
the inherent and increasing evils of this
monopoly breeding system. Intelligent
citizens wore becoming aroused to the
importance of these evils and dangers.
President Cleveland was among this
number, and fortunately he had the op
portunity, the patriotism and the man
hood to issue his emancipation proc
lamation, which applies to whites as
well as blacks. The monopolists who
were fattening on the protected spoils
of the people quickly scented danger
and poured out a few of their millions
to save their robber tariff system. By
means of false theories and cries and by
bribery they succeeded temporarily.
The McKinley tariff act was the one
great object lesson for the people. This
blundering piece of legislative patch
work, named after McKinley, but
fashioned by and for trusts and monop
olies, has made more converts to tariff
reform than any Democratic pamphlet.
It raised duties on hundreds of articles
in October, 1890. Prices of many of
these advanced at once. It lowered
duties on sugars in March, 1891, and
within one week prices dropped almost
exactly as much. It ruised the duty on
tin plate July 1, 1891, and prices ad
vanced over 1890 prices by the same
amount. The Democrats had declured
that the tariff was a tax; the Repub
licans denied it. Everybody was ob
serving the effects of the new tariff law
to see which party was right. The
demonstration was complete. On three
occasions prices followed duties. If
McKinley had not touched the duties on
sugar and tin plate the demonstration
would not have attracted so much at
tention nor been as convincing. The
tariff is as much a tax on clothing, cut
lery, etc., as it was and is on sugar
and tin plate, but the nseof shoddy, cot
ton and cheaper materials makes it a
difficult matter for most people to de
tect the tax in clothing, carpets, cut
lery, drugs, cigars, etc. The McKinley
bill did its own talking and cannot re
ceive too much credit
The Congressional Record edition of
Henry George's book, "Protection or
Free Trade?" was an important cause.
More than 1,000,000 copies of these were
sent to voters, mostly in Wisconsin, Illi
nois and Ohio. The result shows that
the cry of "British free trade" will no
longer hold voters in Republican ranks.
The wonderful effect of this book was
most marked in the congressional dis
tricts of Tom L. Johnson and of Michael
D. Harter in Ohio. In both of these re
districted districts Republican majori
ties of from 2,000 to 3,000 were changed
to Democratic majorities equally large.
The Homestead tragedy and the
strikes and riots in Tennessee, in Buf
falo and in the Coeur d'Alene mines
in Idaho did much to arouse earnest
thought and to direct attention to the
sham protection given to workingmeu
by duties on goods, and the greed and
hypocrisy of the Carnegies and the
Fricks who receive but who neglect to
turn over to their employees their share
of the tariff bonus.
Peck* labor report undoubtedly did
much to increase Cleveland's majority
in New York. It gave increased wages
in industries in which all concerned
knew that there had been reductions.
This fact stimulated every big and little
Democratic paper in the state to expose
the falsity not only of the report, but of
all claims of protectionists.
The gross exaggerations and the lying
statements of the Republican press when
dealing with the condition of the tin
plate, pearl button, wool hat, glove, to
bacco, cutlery and hundreds of other
protected industries opened the eyes of
many honest Republicans and made
them ashamed of their party and sick of
McKinleyism.
The New York Tribune and The Amer
ican Economist deserve especial mention
in this connection. The well developed
tendency of these and other high tariff
papers to credit everything good to Mc-
Kiuley and everything bad to Democracy
and free trade increased the odinm al
ready attached to McKinleyism. Fam
ines in Europe, with good crops here and
consequently good prices; more wool on
a sheep's back and all improvements in
machinery were some of the things cred
ited to McKinleyism and protection. The
dexterity shown by Harrison, McKinley
and other leading Republicans in trans
ferring themselves to opposite sides of
certain questions—as the desirability of
cheapness—after the election of 1890 waa
a humiliating spectacle to many Repub
licans who had not forgotten the deca
logue.
The Reform club of New York dur
ing the whole of the four years' cam
paign of education did most telling
work. Its semimonthly publication—
Tariff Reform—gave facts and statistics
in regard to each of tho important pro
tected industries. Millions of copies of
Tariff Reform were distributed—not in
discriminately, but by means of classi
fied lists of voters obtained at great ex
pense. By this means wool growers
were given the facts on the wool ques
tion, and barley farmers learned the
effects of the tariff upon the barley in
dustry. Everything was read and but
little wasted. These same facta in the
hands of speakers made them invinci
ble. Since 1890 it has been almost im
possible to arrange with Republicans
for deludes. Twespeakers were kept in
the field the greater part of each year.
The club also furnished short tariff ar
ticles to thousands of country and some
I city papers through several big press
i associations of the east and the west.
| This steady pour of hot shot accounts for
some of the gaps in Republican ranks.
I The New England Tariff Reform club
also did excellent work. Many news
papers have gone to great expense to
obtain and publish tariff reform data.
Some of these are The Times, Evening
Post and World, of New York; St.
Louis Republic, Chicago Herald, Phila
delphia Record, Boston Herald, Buffalo
Courier, Detroit Free Press and Cleve
land Plain Dealer.
It would take too much space to even
mention the speakers and writers who
have contributed to the downfall of Re
publicanism. The intelligent, honest
and well conducted fight made by the
Democratic as < red with the
tricky, stealthy am. rbaric warfare of
the Republican managers of the cam
paign has won the admiration of all, ami
has made it easy for hundreds of leading
Republicans to step over into Democrat
ic ranks.
But after all it was the people that
have freed themselves from the greed
and tyranny of trusts. This fact fur
nishes new evidence of the value and
stability of our institutions. We did
not appeal in vain to the intelligence of
the American people. It was due to
their intelligence and honesty that Gro
ver Cleveland, who had once risked and
lost the presidency in trying to render
faithful service, was again made a can
didate and elected on a platform that
had not a square inch of protection
plank in it.
Trusts, Take Warning!
It will be remembered that as soon as
Harrison's election to the presidency was
announced in 1888 prices of trust certfi
cates took a jump upward. The public
was not mistaken. Harrison and his
party have been friendly to trusts. Pro
tection duties were retained or raised at
the beck of trusts. The Republican at
torney general has shown remarkable
leniency in prosecuting these wealthy
violators of law. He has prepared in
dictments against several, but intention
ally or unintentionally, these have been
so weak that they have always been
promptly quashed when brought into
court. Trusts have multiplied and flour
ished as never before; hence it is that
Harrison's reign may not inappropriately
be designated as the "reign of trusts."
But now a change is promised. The
Cleveland administration will consult
the interests of the people, and will make
short work of some of the trusts. They
know this already, and before the elect
oral vote is known they begin to quail.
Prices of trust certificates began at once
to decline. On Nov. 11 Sugar trust cer
tificates fell 3% points, from 110 to 106%;
Lead trnst certificates fell 1% points,
from 47 to 45%; Whisky trust, \y t \
Electric trust, } / a \ Tobacco trust, %;
Cotton Oil trust, 1; Linseed Oil trust, %;
Reading coal combine, 1.
For the first time in four years the
trusts begin to fear the wrath of an out
raged public. They realize that they
must soon take their hands out of the
people's pockets. The next attorney
general will not be appointed by a
president who owes his present position
and future prospects to his allegiance to
trnsts. The "fat frying" process i
stopped, and with it ends the boodle al
liance between government officials and
robber tariff barons. Our manufacturers
must cast off their swaddling clothes
and prepare to do business in a manly
way and 011 an honest, independent basis.
Republican Rip Van Winkles.
1 It took the most of the leading Repub
lican papers until Nov. 10 to find out
what all other papers knew two days
before —that Cleveland was elected presi
dent, and that Harrison had received
only about one-third of the popular vote
of the country and would receive only
about one-third of the electoral vote.
On Nov. 10 Chairman Carter telegraphed
the startling news to President Harrison
that "we have been defeated by a pro
nounced majority." This was funny,
but not so funny as the performance of
The American Economist of Nov. 11.
This standard bearer of protection and
of the ex-Republican party contains 110
evidence that a national election has oc
curred, and that there has been an ava
lanche, except a verv brief editorial an
nouncing that the "presidential election
is not decided;" that "late returns on
Wednesday morning show that steady
gains for protection have been made in
the Eighteenth congressional district of
Illinois," and that this "may save Illinois
to the presidential ticket, which in turn I
makes Harrison's election more than !
possible."
Gracious goodness! The loss of Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio and Wisconsin to the ;
Democracy would still leave Harrison's j
election impossible. But The Economist j
has gotten so used to juggling with sta- !
tistics to support its protection theories I
that it cannot stop the work.
The Economist continues its articles |
on tin plate, on the tariff not a tax, and j
its tariff sermons, prophesying direful i
things if John Bull's policy gets a foot- !
hold here. It will probably continne
for several months to advocate a policy
that has been discarded forever by an
overwhelming majority.
It Will Re "Revised" Down.
Mr. Joseph H. Manley, of the Repub- j
lican national committee, makes a con
fession of the sort that is 4 4 good for the
. soul. He acknowledges that the vote
1 of the manufacturing towns defeated
J Harrison, and when asked as to his ex-
I pectations regarding Democratic action 1
1 he said:
J I expect that tho Democrats will do
j just what the Republicans promised to
!do four years ago. They will enact a
law which will revise the tariff and give
( to the manufacturing towns free raw
! material.
j The Republicans promised to revise
the tariff four years ago. The people
! expected that it would be "revised"
down, but it was "revised" up, as a mat
ter of fact, and if the Democrats are
wise they will make about the changes
: suggested by those who wanted a mod
! erate revision, with a free list which in
-1 eluded certain classes of raw material.
M'KINLEYISM REPUDIATED.
§OlllO Sensible Opinions Kxprossctl on ths
Economic Outlook.
The Dry Goods Economist, the leading
dry goods journal of America, and which
therefore represents the interests of both
manufacturers ami dealers in domestic
and foreign goods, does not think that
this country is going to the free trade
bowwows under a Democratic and anti-
Mclunley administration. In its issue
of Nov. 12 it comments upon the "tre
mendous emphasis" with which the dom
inant party has been cast out by the
silent voters. It recognizes that an im
portant economic change is coming in |
which "it behooves every business man
to seek out if possible the true springs
of this peaceful revolution, the conse-!
quence of which to commerce is likely
to be considerable."
This journal says: "It is safe to as
sume that this tidal wave was raised by
a combination of influences—moral, po
litical and economical. It is probable
that Tuesday's vote comes as a check
evolved in the normal growth of our
nation upon the progress of centraliza
tion."
It then recognizes what most Repub
lican papers as yet but dimly discern
that McKinleyism has been condemned
in the court of last appeal and must soon
die the death of a traitor. We quote
the following from this excellent edi
torial :
Regarded from the economic side, it
seems to us that the country has utterly
repudiated McKinleyism— not schedule
A, B or C of the Mckinley bill, but Mc-
Kinleyism. They have condemned the
treachery that after the sqnarest prom
ises of reforming the tariff downward,
reformed it upward to unprecedented
rates. They have resented the insult to
their intelligence of the fallacies and
misstatements which were oifered in
justification of this treachery. They
havo repudiated the theory that the pros
perity of this country is best built up by
working as much damage as possible to
certain other countries, and they have
spewed out of their moi*h all the preach
ers of the gospel of hatred. They havo
denied the right to speak for them of
any man who claims him to be the best
American who is the most hated in Eu
rope, and who has done the most to take
the bread from the mouths of laborers
in those countries where lack of oppor
tunity practically forbids a change of
occupation. They have condemned the
man who quotes as the highest vindica
tion of our recently inaugurated eco
nomic system every failure, every strike,
every famine in manufacturing Europe.
Finally they have contemptuously turned
down the theory that the manufacturing
industries of the brightest and most en
ergetic of nations must be kept to eter
nity in a airtight hothouse to keep them
alive.
In short, it seems to us that McKin
leyism has gone too far in arbitrary fa
voritism, in gross selfishness, in arro
gance and brazen insolence even for the
patientest, because the largest and
strongest, of nations, so that the people,
rising, have passed upon it the silent
soutenee of banishment. The concur
rence of so many manufacturing and ag
ricultural < ates in this verdict, even in
cluding Ohio, which, next to Pennsylva
nia, lias been supposed to be the very
habitat of the ideas for which the name
of McKinley stands, renders it difficult
to give any other meaning to the event.
'Hie true policy of the American man
ufacturer is to prepare his business for
free raw materials and duties on manu
factured goods not exceeding the actual
difference in labor cost between this and
competing countries, and then to use all
his efforts and influence to bring about
tariff revision on these lines.
Once (iood Republican Doctrine.
So far as national issues are concerned
there is nothing surprising about the
declaration of Wisconsin in fuvor of the
revenue tariff demanded by tho Demo
crats. The former Republicans who
voted for Cleveland on this ground last
Tuesday were only living up to the doc
trines which they had always professed
until the McKinley craze attacked the
party. The Republican state platform
of .1875 contained this plank:
Resolved, That we arc in favor of a tariff for
revenue only, BO adjusted us tube the least bur
deiisunie and the most favorable to the inter
esia of labor untl industry.
Indeed the verdict of last Tuesday
throughout the country only means that
the tariff principles formerly laid down
by Uurfield are to ho carried out by i
Cleveland. The next Democratic presi
dent could not desire a clearer line of
action than was drawn by that Repub
lican predecessor of his when he said, a
quarter of a century agot "Duties should
be so high that our manufacturers can
fairly compete with the foreign product,
but not so high as to enable them to
drive out the foreign article, enjoy a
monopoly of the trade and regulate the
price as they please. lam for a protec- ;
tion which leads to ultimate free trade." |
—New York Evening Post.
Illlnolsans to tho Front.
The election of Cleveland is in effect a
revolution. It crushes protection as em- ]
bodied in the McKinley hill, and delivers
the agricultural and industrial labor of
the country from the despotism of or- 1
ganized capital. Illinois will again be 5
a factor in national politics. With the
co-operation of tho west and south it ]
will hereafter exercise a controlling in
fluence in the policies of the country.— '

The Republican party was over
whelmingly defeated two years ago on
the issues raised by the McKinley act.
A rehearing was demanded, and a new
trial WHS granted. After two years of
practical working of the law and a full

the people have again repudiated it and
the party which is responsible for it.
| The majority is so large and the con
-1 demnation so emphatic that protection
is forever doomed in this country. And
