FBEELAND, FEBRUARY 27, 1893. Corruption in Elections. The Connecticut legislature has before it a bill to suppress illegal and corrupt practices in elections. The Philadel phia Press says it resembles in its terms the corrupt practices law of Massa chusetts, forbidding bribery by any means whatever, restricting the sum a candidate can spend in a campaign and for what purposes he can use it, and requiring'every treasurer of a political committee and each candidate to file within fifteen days after election an itemized statement of receipts and ex penditures. There are other provisions of the bill which name the penally for its violation and forbid the uss of liquor saloons as committee rooms and the employment of state, county and city officials as officers of political cau cuses, committees or conventions. It will be seen that the bill is strictly drawn and if it were passed and en forced it would be an efficient aid in checking corruption in elections. The difficulty begins, however, when such a law is to be put in force. The political committee of one paity will not prose cute the committee of another party because it knows it is guilty of the very same practices and that any attempt to indict the other party would result in retaliation. And for individuals to at tempt to enforce the law and indict all parties would be a hopeless task. The facts that would insure conviction could only be obtained from those who were on trial, and to secure a jury that would bring in a verdict of guilty would be next to impossible. The difficulty of convicting in an election case was illus trated last week in Buffalo, when a man who was shown by the most indisputable proof to have been guilty of fraud was acquitted. The need of something being done to check corruption in elections is, however, acknowledged by every one who has Btudied the subject. Professor McCook, of Hartford, stated last week before the judiciary committee of the Connecticut legislature that there must have been from 20,000 to 25,000 venal votes cast in that state at the election last November. The average througli the state of this vote, he said, was about 15 per cent., varying from 3 per cent, in some towns to 35 per cent, in others. Professor McCook's conclusions on this subject are not based on guesses or hearsays, but from actual investigation and from facts and figures furnished him by district and county committees. He has obtain ed from these sources the price paid for votes, the percentage of venal voters among different nationalities and among men of temperate and intemperate habits. The exhibition Professor McCook made was startling and set every intelli gent man to thinking. If the situation was so discouraging in Connecticut, a state in which a large majority of the population is of American birth, every one asked, what must it be in other states? The remedies he proposed are an educational qualfication for the fran chise and the sustaining of a good moral character, the most secret ballot law that can be devised and the letting in of all the light possible on the manner and method of conducting campaigns. These requirements would doubtless put an effectual stop to venal voting, hut the difficulty of enforcing them, particularly the need of a voter sustaining a good moral character, at once presents itself. There is another aspect to this matter also. Corruption in elections has in creased the cost of campaigns so greatly that they have become an oppressive tax upon candidates. If this cost con tinues to grow as it lias in recent years only men of large private fortunes will able to run for office. The campaign of 1892 in Massachusetts cost according to officials returns of committees and can didates, nearly $500,000, and doubtless much more was spent. Professor Mc- Cook estimates that a presidential cam paign costs the two great parties $400,- 000 in Connecticut. Good judges say that over $500,000 was spent in San Francisco alone last year for political purposes. These are only scattered illustrations of the cost of political cam paigns and every one conversant with such matters knows that these great sums cannot be spent honestly. Corrupt practices acts will unoubtedly do some good, but they must have be hind them a strong public sentiment or they cannot be enforced. For the crea tion of such a sentiment every one who desires fair, honest elections should work regardless of party. COUGHING LEADS TO CONSUMPTION. Kemp's Balsam stops the cough at once.

We are having an unusually cold win ter. In all of the northern and some of the southern states there is great suffer ing. If all of the millions of human be ings now poorly clad and insufficiently fed and housed were entirely responsible, by indolence Or improvidence, for their sad plight, it would be useless to waste time on the matter. It is, however, a fact that 99 per cent, of these unfortu nates are men or persons who either do the hardest kind of work for ten or twelve hours a day or who are earnestly search ing for work. It is also a fact palpable to all thinking men that with our multi plied machines and inventions for saving labor any man capable and willing to work in a sparsely populated a#d fertile country teeming with raw materials of all kinds like our own country ought to be able, with even less than ten hours, work a day, to sustain himself and fam ily in comparative comfort. If, then, neither nature nor the inventive genius of man is at fault, the trouble must be due to governmental mismanagement. In short, the interests of the peoplo are and have been betrayed by the politicians who make the laws. Until today com paratively few men own and control the sources of production and the machinery of distribution, so that large numbers of their fellow beings or subjects are liter ally left out in the cold. Special privileges have been given to corporations and favored individuals. The supply of anthracite coal is practi cally in the hands of a single tion. This corporation has advanced the price of coal over one dollar per ton, in creasing its annual earnings about $50,- 000,000. Of course the millions of peo ple in the east who are so unfortunate as to want fire and who depend for fuel on the great storehouse of coal in eastern Pennsylvania, put there, as it appears, for the special benefit of the Reading combine, cannot consume as much coal at $6.25 as they used to use at $5 per ton; consequently a part of the mines are locked up until supply will equal demand at the new figures. The situa tion is real aggravating both to thoso shivering with cold and to the miners out of employment and suffering for food and clothing. The aggravation is not lessened by the fact that up in Nova Scotia is another storehouse of coal, with in easy reach of the New England and middle Atlantic states, to which access is denied by the duty of seventy-five cents per ton, put on by a style of con gressman now going out of fashion for the purpose of compelling the Yankees to purchase of the Reading combine or freeze. The same situation is repeated with our copper mines, iron ore mines, silver, lead ore mines and borax mines. In each case monopolies control nature's store house of supplies, and our congress has ' sanctioned the monopolies by putting duties on the foreign competing products to compel the "free" American people to pay the exorbitant prices for the supplies beneath their own soil. The manufac turers of sugar, starch, steel rails, axes, knives, barbed wire, rubber goods, glass, paper, huts and hundreds of other arti cles are controlled by trusts favored by tariff legislation to take from the poor to give to the rich. It is gratifying to know that a senti ment is rising that promises to sweep away some of those combines in tho near future. This sentiment has become so conspicuous since election that it is com mented upon by the protection journals and papers. But many kinds of products are not controlled by trusts. In such cases con gress has done what it could to assist the larger producers at the expenso of the smaller ones. Tho masses of the people who are comparatively poor are laborers, mechanics, clerks and small farmers. Those who own the factories, mines and means of transportation are few and comparatively rich. It is not in the power of congress to legislate in favor of the poor as against the rich, hut it is in its power by giving grants of land and by passing tariff laws to restrict outside competitors to greatly aid the manufacturers and mine owners, and incidentally, by increasing ground rents, the landlords. The rich have of course "appreciated" those favors by large contributions to keep their friends in office. For thirty years this implied compact has been in force. Each year the terms become moro grinding on the poor until now a suit of woolen clothes or a pair of woolen blankets costs in our monopoly markets about twice what they sell for in free markets. Hence it is that the poor, who cannot afford woolens, for the sake of appearance compromise by wearing shoddy or imitation woolen clothing in tho daytime, but for the most part make no pretensions to cover them selves or their families with woolen blankets at night. They aro but poorly protected from the cold and have to eat moro food for this reason to keep life in their bodies. But food also costs moro because of the duties on sugar, rice, fish, vegetables, fruits and nuts, and on tho glass, tin plate or stoneware necessary to preserve or transport food articles. I Duties on lumber and other building ' materials increase the cost of houses and idd to tile already high rents which the poor are compelled to pay. j Tariff taxes compel the poor to wear poor clothes thut cost more tlian good j clothes cost in Europe; to eat cheap and insufficient food; to pdy higher rent or i live in poorer quarters; to go cold for the lack of cheap fuel; to do less work for less wages because production is re | atricted by trusts, and in every way to | acrimp and stint themselves until their I bodies are dwarfed and their intellects | cramped almost past recognition by j their Maker. And yet the now con j ieinued tariff legislation is only one of j tho devices of tho rich and their accom plices—tho politicians—for fleecing the poor out of a considerable part of their | earnings, and perhaps, when an anti- ' monopoly congress has smashed tariff monopolies and begins to legislate so i that the hard working poor will got an opportunity to work and got what they j earn, it will he found that there are j other monopolies even worse than tariff [ monopolies. It is a satisfaction to know that the ship of state will soon have a { new set of officers, who will steer her in I an opposite direction from that of the past, thirty years.—Byron H. Holt. THE CURSE OF TARIFF TAXES. j They Increase the Cost of Farming ami Burden Instead of Protect. What folly to talk about tariffs rais- I ing wages or being the cause of high | wages! Does a passenger train make a i mile a minute because it is propelled by } the Pullman sleeper attached to tho rear? Docs a wagon run easier when one wheel is locked? Tariff taxes always lock the wheels of progress. They are so much dead weight that has to bo tugged around by the in dustrial machinery. They increase tho ' cost of raw materials and at the same ! time tho cost of manufactured articles, thus lessening tho ability of manufac- j turers to compete, reducing the quantity of manufactured products, lessening the demand for labor and decreasing wages. They increase the cost of farm imple- i ments and the cost of clothing and other manufactured articles, and thus burden the industries that they cannot protect. ! leaving smaller rewards for farmers and ; farm laborers. They can protect only a few manufacturers by giving tnem in creased profits, ami mine and timber owners by giving them increased rents, j All comes out of the wage earner anil tho unprotected industries in decreased wages, lessened production, increased rents and cost of living and greater cost of raw materials. And yet we are told, and it is believed liy many intelligent people, that our prosperity is due to tariff taxes. Look out over tho civilized world, and j see if there is in practice any solid foun- j dation for this absurd belief. None 1 whatever. Everywhere the compara- j tively high wage products undersell the I low wage products. The" two countries | where wages aro highest are Australia J and the United States. The chief prod- : nets of both aro agricultural, and yet j these countries supply low wage Europe I with farm products, grains, provisions, etc. Of the Old World countries England pays by far the highest wages. Her chief products are manufactures, which she sells not only in all the European coun tries, but even in India and China, where wages are still lower. Not only is her high priced labor more than a match for tho low priced labor of the Old World, but her prosperity at homo and promi- I nence upon the sea date from the time i Hlie began with free trade and higher wages. According to the McKinley-Carnegie i theory, China and Russia and Spain j should witli their labor run England out I of the markets of the world. On the | contrary, we see that these countries are j all "protected" by tariffs from England, j Wages are not high because of taxes of j any kind, but in spite of them, and be cause labor is more efficient and pro- ) duces more. The first step to success is self asser- j tion und independonce. It applies to 1 nations as well as to individuals. As j virtue brings it own reward, so do folly | and sin bring their own evils. Will Take tlio Responsibility. The statement that tho Democratic I party is afraid to undertake the revision | of the tariff Mr. Voorhees pronounces as an insult to the intelligence of tho men who compose the party. "There never were truer words spoken," ho said, "than J those used in tho Democratic platform to characterize the Republican party policy. We have denounced it in our platform as a robbery and a fraud, and preached it from every stump in tho ; country. The senate is just as enthusi astic in the matter of the coming re vision of the tariff as the house can pos- J sibly he, and is perhaps more set in its purpose. We will assume all responsi- j bility, and are ready to begin tomorrow | if need he. "All the intelligence and wisdom of the country is not in tho Republican party, and when that party dies all wisdom | will not die, nor will all wisdom have iloparteil when its majority lias departed from tho senate. The Democratic party can he depended on to do two things— 1 remove the unjust burdens of taxation from tho necessaries of life and provido the necessary revenues for the govern- \ ment. The Republicans are prone to ' talk of our mistakes, hut theirs have j been crimes. If we were tyros in the science of government we would not do j worse than they, hut we will give the people relief from the burdens with which they have been oppressed since 1 the Republicans came into power. Tho j I vote of the people at the recent election j shows wherein they put their confidence, and that confidence will not he mis placed."—New Age. Pension Taxes and Protective Tuxes. There is scarcely a doubt that one con trolling reason for swelling the amount of pension payments to the utmost limit has been the supposition on tho part of leading protectionists in congress that , heavy expenditures would necessitate heavy taxation, and that the protective system would thereby he more firmly fastened in the statute hook by the fiscal necessities of the government. The fact that excessive protection operates to keep money out of the treasury, turning it in stead into private pockets, seems to have been overlooked. Protection has been carried to such an extent that almost any plan of tariff reduction would tend to in crease tho revenue. This condition of affairs has not escaped observation. The Chicago Tribune, the leading Republican journal of the west, says that tens of thousands of votes wore lost to the Re publican ticket in November because of the $151,000,000 pension list. Tho Re publican party has been doubly wrong In this pension business because it has sought to intensify one form of unjust taxation by authorizing another.—Phila delphia Record. ANNALS OF THE WAR.

A WHTPSAW COMBINE.' IT FREEZES THE POOR IN THE CITIES AND STARVES THE MINERS. Coal In the Slums of New York ut Sixteen Dollars n Ton—How the Uttlo Children of the Poor Strive to Keep Warm—The Victims of Cruel and Greedy Plutocracy. Where coal wagons with their sturdy horses and smutty faced drivers stand 1 hacked up to the curbstones in front of ' rich men's homes watch out. You'll see boys passing by there gathering np into a basket the remnants of coal which the careless driver has dropped and tho lazy house porter has not removed. Again, as you journey through city streets, watch out for lofty wagon loads of kind ling wood. Y< mil see grimy little urchins grabbing bundles of wood from the rear, out of tho reftcli of the driver's whip, and then scampering homo with them. Go into the tenement districts any where—perhaps as good places as any, throwing the eternally poverty stricken east side out of the question, are in the cross streets between Ninth avenue and North River above Fortieth street, then down the older, darker districts on the west side toward tho foot of the island— you'll see ill cl.id, ill fed children, boys and girls, crouching on tho leeward side of bonfires built from whatever material they can beg or steal. They stretch out red, chapped and in most instances dirty hands to the blaze, and don't seem to mind the smoke in t iteir eyes. You may think they are doing that for fun, but they're not. They're doing it to keep warm, and are glad of the luck that brings them relief from the cold that reigns at home. When the boys can find coal sufficient and an old tin pail big enough, they build a portable fire and carry it around with them, swinging the pail round and round by a long wire and letting the I ;s fortunate youngsters warm themselves over the buckets. ♦ And still the great and constantly growing prices of coal keep the rooms of tho tenements tireless, and men and women who can't afford to take the bucket to the corner grocery to bring home ten cents' worth of coal at tho rate of from ten to sixteen dollars a ton go hunting for warm places to pass an hour or so. It doesn't make much difference to them where they go, so long as they may toast their shins, get the dreadful chill out of their marrow, get the stiff ness out of their joints and forget for a little while that it is the dead of winter, and that the mercury keeps going down, and tliiit their clothing is thin, and that tho wind whistles through the cracks into the cheerless tenement pens which they call "home." They never go back of the returns, most of these people, and they never think to ask what the cause of their rheumatism is. They know simply that last winter, in January, coal was quoted at $4.50 a ton, with some additional charge for fancy grades, while now it is marked on tho coal sellers' boards at $0.50, and the coal dealer wears a long face in anticipation of another raise. These poor folks don't know much— indeed they don't know anything, most of them—about that masterly morsel of financial diplomacy and greed and cruel ty recognized in Wall street and tho trade by the title of the Reading coal combine. They read of it in The Herald months ago when The Herald was tell ing with prophetic tongue, it now ap pears, what that combine would do for the poor man as soon as another winter rolled around. Hut it was only a bugaboo thou. The combine had not begun then to show its fine Italian hand in tho manipulation of tho price lists. It was only the name of something that belonged in Wall street. That it is what The Herald then said it was they know now. They know that their dwellings are cold, besides being wretchedly humble. They know that they are helpless; that week after week, as tho bitter, stinging cold grows, tho price of cold grows too. Every day puts comfort farther from them and dollars into the pockets of the monopoly. They understand now tho motive and the operation of a full fledged and whole sale "combine." They have heard from Pennsylvania. They have learned that a "combine," to use gamblers' phrases, means a "whipsaw," a playing of tho mighty middle against the feeble ends, and with magnificent and sinful success. They have learned that, while the price of coal is constantly being increased by tho combine in the city where poor men must suffer, tho people at tho mines an; being ground by the same combine to starvation and despair. It seems from thermographic reports as if there was handwriting on the wall for Reading to read. The miners are more than murmuring. Tho poor of this city will not be silent forever. A coal dealer said ta mo yesterday: "The middlemen through whom 1 deal warned me before the combine first be gan to put up pricos that it would be done, and that rapidly, and to a moun tainous extent, and that I had better jmt in a big order and that right early. I thought there was more or less scaro about it, and didn't pay much. attention 1 to his advice. Even after the first ad- I vance 1 was a littlo bit dumb to it. Then ( when tho second came I woke up. Then I 1 went to my biggest customers and gave them the same warning. They in j turn were incredulous. They are pay ing for it now. "The poor, though, suffer terribly for lack of fuel. It is out of the reach of most of them. The retail dealers haven't dared raised their bucket prices every time tho ton price was raised. If they had done so, the poor would be lit erally freezing to death now. They have made but three advances—one in June, one in September, and one in the middle of this month. But they'll have to come up again. It's only a matter of a little time ."—New York Herald.
