FREELAND, FEBRUARY 6, 1893.
The nobby of Hazlcton Politicians.
The Wilkes-Barre Leader views the
scheme of a few politicians to form a
new county in the following light:
As to the difficulty of getting to and
from the county seat, it is sufficient to
say that there are counties of much
smaller population and yet of vastly
greater area in Pennsylvania, such as
Lycoming, Center, Clearfield and West
moreland and that the facilities for
travel between Hazleton and Wilkes-
Barre are now almost if not quite as
good as they were a compartively few
years ago between Nanticoke and
Wilkes-Barre.
Besides there are but few people who
have to make frequent trips to the coun
ty seat and of these, we know from per
sonal communication, a majority are
very content with things as they are.
But all these things are mere excuses.
The aim of the Hazletonians who are
fighting the hardest for the new county
is either offices or lot speculation.
The consideration that influence the
llecord and others in this section to favor
it is politics. They have made them
selves believe the new county would so
divide the Democratic vote as to make
not only Luzerne, hut Sckuylkill and
llazle Republican counties.
They are mistaken, just as tliey were
when they thought that letting Lacka
wanna go would make Luzerne Republi
can, hut they think they are right and
that suffices.
It is not believed, however, that the
Republicans generally of this section
will be willing to make the bminess
sacrifices the severance would involve
for such a doubtful chance of partisan
gain, and every day makes it more
evident that the people not only of the
farming districts proposed to be cut off,
but those of mining districts as well, are
more and more dubious of the wisdom
of the move.
Collecting County Tuxes.
in most of the states each county is
assessed for state purposes in propor
tion to the amount of assessable prop
erty reported by it at the last previous
assessment. As a result, county asses
sors undervalue property to a great ex
tent in order to reduce their county's
share of the state tax. Each one thinks
that if he doesn't undervalue property
others will, and hence, compel his
county to pay more than its share of
the state tax.
The simple and efficient remedy for
this condition of affairs is to secure the
passage of a bill directing that the state
taxes be apportioned among the counties
in proportion to population. It is easily
proven that land values rise and fall in
proportion to population, and it is gen
erally expected that there is the most
wealth where population is densest.
Under such a law each county asses
sor would know that his county's share
of the state taxes would not he in the
least affected by his methods of valua
tion or assessment Such a provision
might he included in a "local option"
bill.
But where the latter is not likely to
succeed in being passed the former
would stand a good show and receive
more support, and would prepare the
way for a "local option" hill, later.
Single taxers in all the states are advo
cating this method of abolition of that
form of corruption which consists in j
each county seeking to escape its share
of state taxes. Apportionment accord
ing to population is not only just but will
remove the incentive to undervaluation.
The coast of New Jersey at Long

tional portion of the soft, crumbling red
earth. With the furious storm that
came in with 1893 a slice of fully twen

point, destroying beyond hope of repair
part of the ocean driveway We have
here before our eyes an illustration of
the submerging of land by the ocean,
the same process that went on for so
many ages in past geological periods.

THE WOOL INDUSTRY
FREE RAW MATERIAL THE TRUE
BASIS OF PROTECTION.
Some Interesting Facts Concerning Prac
tical Tariff Making—Duties on Imported
Wool Are Wrong llccause They Have
Not Increased Production.
Tho Dry Goods Economist on Dec. 10
began a series of articles on ' 'Practical
Tariff Making" to show, as it stated edi
torially, "what would be needed to place
our manufacturers upon substantial
equality with their European competi
tors." Tho first paper restates the argu
ments in favor of free wool. Some of the
facts are interesting to many not con
nected with the woolen industry.
Since 1804 the duty on unwashed wool
has varied from ten to twelve cents pet
pound, yielding a protection of about 50
per cent. In spite of this duty imports
have steadily increased from 37,888,075
pounds in 1867 to 119,390,280 pounds in
1891. Nor lias the production of wool
increased as rapidly under protection in
the United States as it has increased in
tho other countries of the world where
it has had no protection. Since 1860 the
product of tho United States has in
creased from 60,264,913 to 285,000,000
pounds—47s per cent. The iiKrease since
1860 in the other comparatively new
countries of the world has been from
315,000,000 to 1,669,381,600 pounds—an
average of 534 per cent. Tho increase in
Australia lias been 983 per cent.; River
Platte districts, 880 per cent.; Cape of
Good Hope, 494 per cent. These three
districts produce two-thirds of the
world's 5upp1y—1,669,881,600 pounds.
The writer, Mr. S. Hawking, then ex
plains why it is that this country lags
behind. It is because of our poor wool
growing climate and because the duty on
wools has depressed our manufactories
and compelled them to buy less Ameri
can wool than if they could purchase
freely abroad and make all kinds of fab
rics. He discusses the absurd tax on car
pet wools—a tax intended to protect
something that never has nor never will
exist hero—the camel, goat and alpaca
industry. He shows how the duties op
erated to raise prices of manufactured
goods here and to give cheap wool to for
eign manufacturers. He thus recapitu
lates the first article:
"The duties on imported wool are con
sequently economically wrong.
"First—Because they have failed to
stimulate the growing of wool in this
country in proportion to its unlimited
pasturalresources.
"Second—Because it is a gross injustice
to compel the consumer of goods made
of wool to pay twice over the duty paid
on imported wool in consequence of the
growers' inability to produce within 50
per cent, as much as the wants of the
country require.
"Third—Because domestic manufac
turers are prohibited from buying such
wools as are most desirable to their
uses, and are compelled through the tux
on wool to buy such wools as are not
always suitable to their wants and the
requirements of the goods they manu
facture.
"Fourth—Because domestic manufac
turers, through being compelled to buy
wools of light shrinkage, buy the dearest
wools and are oppressed by the competi
tion of the foreign manufacturer, who is
not hindered by a tax on wool from buy
ing the cheapest wools in the market.
"Fifth—Because the tax on wool gives
to wool a fictitious value and renders
tho use of inferior substitutes as adulter
ants a question of much easier practice.
"For these reasons taxed wool has
been tried and proved a failure. Any
rational system of tariff revision must
therefore have free wool as the basis and
chief factor of protection to the woolen
industry."
Editorially it is noted that these facts
contrast with President Harrison's re
cent I'm-licked-but-I'll-stick-to-it high
tariff message, and it is remarked that
the argument for free wool is irresistible.
Why Republicans Buy Flections.
The New York Tribune of Dec. 18
takes Mr. Charles S. Fairchild to task
for saying, at the annual dinner of the
New England Tariff Reform league, that
Republican business men had formed a
"habit of contributing vast sums of
money to buy elections" and to "under
mine tho foundations of society." The
Tribune asks:
"Mr. Fairchild, do you know why
these business men are willing to con
tribute to Republican campaign funds?
There's some reason for it, surely. They
don't do it for fun or because they have
no idea of the value of money and are
willing to waste it aimlessly and wan
tonly."
According to good Republican author
ity, the protected manufacturers wanted
to pay higher wages to their employees.
They imagined that this would not be
permitted under a Democratic adminis
tration, so they concluded to pay large
sums to an administration that would
permit it. Tue peoplo for somo reason
did not wish high wages and voted to
relieve tho manufacturers from any fur
ther responsibility in the matter. This,
we believe, is the wholo case in a nut
shell. Strange as it may seem, more
cases of genuine wage advances in pro
tected industries have been reported in
tho few weeks since than in the two
years previous to election. This anom
aly has not yet been accounted for by
high tariff authorities.
That Free Trade Firm.
The Hint glass business in several lines
j lias not come up to expectations. Sov
; eral firms have blocked their furnaces
i until after the holidays. Manufacturers
; do not accumulate stocks like they did
iin olden times. They close down when
| they are out of orders. This is possible
with natural gas, as they are not com
j pelled to pay fuel rates for gas when
blocking and they have no teasers to
J pay. We think that when the fire is
| put in manufacturers should run the
j time fixed and do like George A. Mac
j beth & Co.—ship their products to all
1 parts of tho world. This is a free trade
I firm, the kind the workmen like.—Nar
tional Glass Budget.
NO SUGAR DUTY.
If the tfeigar Tax Is Restored There Will !
11. Trouble for the Democrats.
The report came from Washington on ]
Dec. 20 that Congressman Catchings, of !
Mississippi, said:
"We can frame a tariff bill which will
save from SIOO to $l5O a year to every 1
family of five persons. In that case a
small tax on sugar would not be felt by
the people. The proposition to retax i
this commodity would, I suppose, meet j
with considerable opposition at the out- j
set, but as it is tho net result which must \
bo looked at, and as the saving to the ,
people would bo much greater on other :
things, I think that a tariff on sugar af
fords the best means of raising a large
revenue without at the same time im
posing a burden which would be felt.
"The sugar bounty law can be repealed
at any time. Tho sugar bounty was
merely a gratuitous gift by congress to
any industry already in existence. I
favor the repeal of the sugar bounty, but
in its stead I want to see a tariff placed
on the commodity."
Theoretically Mr. Catchings may be all J
right, but practically he is all wrong. It!
is easy to take duties off at anytime, but
it is difficult to put duties on in times of
peace. The Republican party had an ex
perience in 1890. It took the people Just
two months to decide that they had no
more use for the party that had put on
more duties than it had taken off. Th"V ;
have never since changed their minds.
Tariff taxation is indirect taxation, !
and the virtue of indirect taxation lies in
the fact that it filches money from the
pockets of tho people so quietly and se
cretly that they do not see it go and sel
dom realize that they are taxed. Until
1890 the mass of the people did not know j
that they were paying a three cent tax
on every pound of sugar purchased. !
They know it now and suspect that du
ties on other articles are taxes. No other
article that is or can be protected is con
sumed so universally and largely as
sugar. It will therefore be easier to in- J
crease any other duty than this one. Tho
Democratic party may bo true to its
platform and greatly relieve the burdens
of the people, but if it restores the duty
on sugar its days will be numbered. The
Democrats, if they would retain power,
must take off and not put on duties. If,
with rigid economy, deficiencies occur,
tliey must be met by somo kind of direct
taxation that will compel the rich to
contribute something to the government
that for thirty years has been an instru
ment for extorting money from the
pockets of the people to turn it over to
trusts and corporations.
Convinced Against Ills Will.
In his message of 1890, just after the
country had hit McKinleyism the first
time, President Harrison said that there
would be neither "wisdom nor justice"
in reforming the tariff before tho Mc-
Kinley bill had had a "fair trial." This
implied that, if after a fair trial tho
popular verdict of condemnation should
be repeated, it would be both wise and
just to hearken to it. But now he acts
liko the Irishman who appealed to the
court for justice and got it in the shape
of two years in tho penitentiary, and
[ who made faces and shook his fist at the
learned judge pronouncing sentence. Mr.
Harrison distinctly repudiates for him
self the idea that he represents the whole
people, and is bound to carry out their
wishes as clearly and legally expressed.
Yet ho does not plainly say that he will
veto any tariff bills that may be passed,
only expressing a hope that none will be
passed. It is the clear duty of congress
to put such bills before him as speedily
as possible.
In his letter of acceptance he admitted
that some changes might need to be
made in the McKinley bill. How does
congress know that free wool and really
free sugar might not now seem to his
better instructed mind to be such
changes? At any rate congress ought
to go ahead and find out whether tho
man who was afraid to veto the depend
ent pension bill and the direct tax re
fund bill, which put millions of dollars
] of taxes upon the peoplo, will get up
courage to veto laws for removing
taxes. We admit that a message from
him explaining and defending such a
veto would be a public calamity, but
perhaps ho could be induced to send in
a veto pure and simple and omit the
attendant agonies.—New Yox'k Evening
Post.
Without Ilasto anil Without Delay.
The Democratic leaders are already
anxiously studying conditions. They are
searching for facts that should be taken
into account. They are weighing every
suggestion. Even the most dogmatic
doctrinaires among them realize—now
that the responsibility of affirmativo ac
tion is upon them—that "it is a condi
tion, not a theory, which confronts us."
There is in all this no recanting, no
shrinking from tho work the people
have set these men to do. They are go
ing to reform the tariff. They are going
to relieve tho people of burdens. They
! are going to put the raw materials of
manufacture upon the free list. They
are going to make material reductions in
the duties on the necessaries of life.
They are going to cheapen the cost of
living to tho people. They are going to j
create conditions which will give to the
workman more for his wages than ho ;
now gets. But in doing this they are :
going to feel their way cautiously—as j
becomes men dealing with affairs that
concern the national prosperity—and ;
make no avoidable mistake that can in j
any way imperil the welfare of the peo- j
pie.—New York World.
Another Truat Combine.
Tlio projected consolidation of the !
White Lead trust and tho Linseed Oil
trust will inevitably invite attention to j
tho very high tariff duties under tho
shelter of which these organizations have j
done business and fixed prices. The duty
on white lead is three cents a pound,
and the duty on linseed oil was increased
by the McKinley act from twenty-five ;
cents to thirty-two cents a gallon. Theso
rates have been prohibitory in spite of
the high prices exacted by the combina- I
tions.— New York Timet.
'WORKS LIKE A CHARM
FIVE PER CENT, OF OUR WEALTH IN
VESTED IN MANUFACTURING.
Thin It* tlo Result of Thirty Yearn* Legis
lation in Favor of Protection How
Certain Maim fact nrerit Make ICnorinous
Profits on Suiull Investments.
By the last census the total wealth of tlio
United .States is $03,010,000,01)0, and the total
capital invested in manufacturing $2,900,73.1,884,
or but 5 per cent, of the whole. After thirty
years of legislating for the 5 it is time to give
the 05 a chance.-New York World.
Tlio World persists in misunderstand
ing the benefits of protection. It has
never been pretended that the manufac
turers constitute tiny considerable per
I cent, of our population or that the capi
tal invested in manufacturing was con
siderable.
The World is also mistaken in suppos
ing that all manufacturers are protected.
Only about one out of five are actually
benefited by tariff legislation. ITenco
not more than 1 per cent, of our capital
is invested in the protected industries
conducted by less than l-100th of 1 per
cent, of our population. But numbers
and per cent, don't count in this case.
While the number who first receive the
benefits of protection is exceedingly
limited, the number of those who finally
participate in the blessings is unlimited.
The protected manufacturers are but
j trustees of protection funds charged
with the heavy responsibility of distrib
uting them. This they do by reducing
the prices of their products and by pay
ing high wages. The effect upon the
community and country is marvelous.
By paying high wages the protected
i manufacturers set the rate of wages for
all. It is a fact that in their anxiety to
i pay high wages they have fixed the rate
so well that wages are actually higher in
unprotected than in protected industries.
i Because wages are high in this country
it is easy for the protected manufactur
j ers to induce hordes of poor Huns, Poles
and Italians to come to this country to
work in factories and make home mar
kets for our farmers. Nobody is omitted,
and the system is absolutely perfect.
An error is likely to creep in here.
The World must not suppose that be
cause protected manufacturers have but
1 per cent, of the total capital of the
country invested in manufacturing that
that is all they possess. Protection en
ables certain manufacturers to make
enormous profits on comparatively small
investments. Thus the Sugar and Car
tridge trusts are undoubtedly making
profits on actual capital invested of
nearly 100 per cent. Other trusts fare
almost as well. These profits are not al
ways distributed at once, but, as in the
case of Andrew Carnegie, are allowed to
accumulate until a big library can be
supplied to a community hungering for
books. Or perhaps they are invested in
real estate where, by absorbing the "un
earned increment," they can double
about every twelve years. These tem
porary accumulations, now in the hands
of individuals, amount to considerable.
In fact the New York Tribune finds that
out of a total of 4,047 millionaires in the
country 1,125 (about 28 per cent.) belong
to the small class of persons engaged in
"protected" industries. That the vast
majority of the accumulations will, at
the proper time and in the proper way,
be returned to the millions of people
who have temporarily deprived them
selves of a part of their hard earnings
cannot bo doubted by those who are
acquainted with protected manufac
turers and know how unselfish and self
sacrificing they are. The few instances
like the Homestead affair, in which the
workmen get anxious to receive back
their share of the protected earnings
and think the trustees (Carnegie, Frick
& Co.) are too slow in making distribu
tions, only emphasize the fact that in
most cases the people have implicit
confidence in their trustees; otherwise
the legislative powers of this govern
ment would not for thirty years have
been put at the disposal of these few
manufacturers.
But supposing that, through forgetful
ness or negligence, some of these for
tunes should never be distributed, even
then The World would show a lack of
respect and appreciation for our million
aire producing system. It should look
with pride upon our thousands of pal
aces and bow meekly to the great busi
ness men who dwell therein. They are
the salt of the nation.
Well Stated.
Suppose the United States exports
$2,000,000,000 worth of products and im
ports $1,000,000,000 worth, is she not
$1,000,000,000 poorer than if she import
ed $2,000,000,000 and exported $1,000,-
000,000?
In the first case she, at the cost of
$2,000,000,000 of things she does not
want, gains $1,000,000,000 of things she
does want, plus $1,000,000,000 iu money.
In the second case she, at the cost of
$1,000,000,000 of things she does not
want, plus $1,000,000,000 in money, gains
$2,000,000,000 of tilings she does want.
| If the opinion is true that in a fair
| bargain both sides gain (as each obtains
1 what he wants at the cost of parting
| with something ho is willing to part
i With), then the United States is better
I /Satisfied in tlio second case you give,
I because she gets a larger amount of
things she does want than she gets in
the first case. She certainly is not
$1,000,000,000 poorer in the first case
: than in the second.—New York Times.
Tlio Robbery Must Bo Stopped.
j It is difficult to exercise patience to-
I ward those who talk in this connection
about the dangers of "hasty" action.
The protective tariff is a burden and a
crime. Is a peace officer expected to
act with "great deliberation and delay"
when he discovers a helpless victim in
the grasp of a highwayman? Should he
go at once to the assistance of the un
fortunate victim, or should he summon
his fellow officers and consult as to tlio
best means of preventing the robbery,
meanwhile permitting the thief to con
tinue undisturbed his work of spoliation?
: There is but one way in which honest
| people would answer these questions.—

j CONSIDER THE WAGE EARNER.
' Strip the Tariff of Its Monopoly Character
Regardless or Revenue.
! It is going to be net v rary to raise more
I revenuo to meet the tremendous continu-
I ing charges fastened upon the public
1 treasury by an extravagant Republican
! congress which sought to make relief
j from tsiriff robbery impossible. It is going
to be necessary to make a radical change
! in the modes of raising revenue because
the people demand relief from tlio bur
| dens of a monopoly tariff. There will be
| a deficit resulting not only from Repub*
i lican legislation in the interests of mo
j nopoly, but also temporarily, from the
tariff reductions which ought to be made
I and which must be made in obedience to
! the command of the people. The ques
j tion of ways and means, therefore, is one
of the first and most urgent willi which
the "triumphant Democracy" will have (
to deal.
The lirst thing to do is to strip the tarn:'
of its monopoly eliaracter in every re
i spect without fear or favor, no matter
! what the effect upon the revenue. The
j next thing will betor limatethen: >unt
' of the deficit likely to result from this
cause and from previous legislat n, and
j the third thing will bo to cou rider the
sources of the required revenue.
In regard to the sources of revenue, it
is to I>o borne iu mind that tlio tariff is
objectionnl !e not only as an instrument
for compelling the many to pay tribute
to the few, but also as a tax on t n
sui.iption. In the latter respect a tariff
for revenuo only is as bad as a tariff for
protection with incidental revenue. This
is the most serious objection to mr ting
tlio deficit in part by restoring the tariff
tax on sugar. That i 3 a tax on cor. ump
tion, and people do not consume sugar
j;t all in proportion to their me is. A
poor man with a large family is likely to
consume more and therefore to] iy more
tax than a rich man with a sma'i family.
There can bo no question thr the peo
ple condemn this inequality r* truly if
not as euij hatically as they condemn
tlio practice of licensing uoja classes of
peoplo to appropriate thoj< niings of
other people by means of at: iff. There
jun be no question that lite >eoplo con

tion .and approve of taxjitie in propor
tion to possessions. It is 41 duty of the
Democratic jiarty to recoj IZO this fact,
and to provide for raising i© additional
revenue which will bo r©< ired by JI tax
or taxes which will fall on tlio peojile
in proportion to their ft iity to pay.—
