FREELAND TRIB UNE. PUBLISHED EVEIIY MONDAY AND THURSDAY. THO*?. A. BXJOKLEY, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR. OFFICE: MAIN STREET ABOVE CENTRE. SUBSCRIPTION BATES. One Year $1 50 Six Months T5 Four Months 50 Two Months 25 FREELAND. PA., JUNE 19, 1893. Ex Senator Saunders, of Nebra ka, who is the father-in-law of that high flying young inan, once known to the metropolis as "Prince Harrison," now plain Russell Harrison, in compliance with a request, has resigned his mem bership on the Utah commission, and H. C. Lett, who was a prominent can didate for governor of tho territory, has been appointed in his place. This makes the commission stand three Democrats and two Republi cans, and, in view of the expectation that the territory will bo admitted to statehood at tho coming "session of congress, it is not expected that any further changes will be made. Ever since the organization of tho national banking system, one of its important laws has been construed in favor of the stockholders, but bore after this law will be construed in favor of the depositors and other creditors of these banks. Tho law in question is that which provides for the levying of an assessment, up to 100 per cent of the faco of stock held, on the stockholders of banks, to make good any losses. It has been cus tomary to wait until all the other assets of a broken bank had been realized on before making this assess ment; hereafter it will lie rnado as soon after a bank closes its doors as possible. While President Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle believe that the Sherman silver law is responsible for tho present unsettled financial status nnd that its repeal is absolutely necessary for the welfare and pros pority of the country, and that the failure of the extra session of congress, to be held in September, to repeal it promptly will precipitate a general financial panic, they are not doing the slightest thing to force any senator or representative to vote for its repeal against his honest opinion, nor will they; but they do ask that every mau, congressman and privato individual, shall study this question anew, not from the point of view of last year or the year before, but from the point of view of today, with all the attendant circumstances in the industrial, busi ness and financial world, believing that such intelligent study of the question cannot fail to result in a practically unanimous vote for its repeal. The practical operation of tho Sherman law has shown it to be a bad-law. It is evident to even the most caro less observer that President Cleveland is a much better politician now than he was eight years ago. There is no denying tho fact that Democrats wore a little nervous over the distribu'ion of the New York federal officers, owing to tho threatening altitude which Tammany and auti Tamany Democrats have occupied toward each other. It was feared that any positive recognition of either side by the administration would precipitate a faction fight in New York that that would endanger, if it did not actually lose, the state. There is no longer any such fear. President Cleveland has proven by his recent selection of a postmaster for New York city that he knows how to select men who will be equally acceptable nnd satisfactory to Tammany nnd nnti-Tammanyites. President Clove land has been invited to speak at the Fourth of July colebration by Tarn many Hall, which shows how little truth there is in the newspaper talk about Tammany's not liking tho presi dent. The pension laws are to be admin istered wilh strictness. No patriot can object to this. Subordinate offi cials who administer tho law nre sub ject to human imperfections and errors. On one side there is a class of red tapists who are very apt to strain a gnat and swallow a camel. On the other hand the good natured, largo minded, (generous with the public money) souls who practically believe in giving every claimant a pension err. Recent exposures in Virginia and in the far west of the criminal practices of the thievish for gers strengthens suspicions that the treasury is being plundered. One good preventive would be the publi cation in every neighborhood of the names of pension claimants and also pensioners. The pension roll is an lienor to the name justly found upon it, but every bounty jumper, hospital bummer, and lying cheat whose name has been wrongfully put upon it detracts from its glory and throat ens its future lustre. Veterans should not be put in a false position but should heartily support every reasonable proposition to defeat fraud. — Naitiicoke Nws. l-lnil of the Fifth Year. With this issue the TRIBUNE ends its fifth year, and the publisher is pleased to state that at no time since the paper was started lias it been in a better condi tion to continue its work than at present. The aim of the TRIBUNE lias been to give all the local news truthfully and without color, to express its honest convictions openly upon all public questions, and to aid Freeland in its onward march in every possible manner. That our efforts to do this were appre ciated is proven by the success and en couragement so far received, and the people of this community can rest as sured that in the future, as in the past, the TRIBUNE will be found their friend at all times and will endeavor, before the end of the present volume, to give them a still better paper. To tlioso who assisted us by their support and patronage we offer our sincere tlianks, and also feel grateful to our exchanges who have so kindly noted every improvement and advance made by the TRIBUNE. Walter L. Main's Clrciis. The Walter L. Main's circus showed to a full house last evening, the mam moth tent being packed with people. We do not exaggerate when we say the show was equal to that of any circus performance ever given hero and a great | deal better than the majority of them. Every feature introduced was of that character which stamps it as first-class upon first appearance. The perform ance was given in three rings and at times there were other features going on outside of them. Tho aerial feats were daring and skillfully performed as were many other acts of daring. The Roman hippodrome part of the entertainment was not only interesting but exciting. It consisted of chariot races, barrel and obstacle races, Roman standing races, cowboy and pony races, lady riders and many other features too numerous to mention. There were plen ty of horses and no show can have finer ones, while the menagerie was a splen did exhibit of the animal kingdom. It was also a noticeable feature that there Were no fukes nor robbing schemes permitted on the grounds, wtiile the en tire show was clear cut and of a high standard throughout. Everything going to make up the show is entirely new, while the performers were selected from the upper ranks of professional people and thoy stand second to none. To do still bigger business this show only needs to play return dates.— Evening Slur, Steu benvitte, 0. Will exhibit at Freoland June 22. Wliut the Twentieth Century Will Bring. With the single exception of the cru cifixion of Christ, the event commemo rated by the opening of the World's fair is the most important in history. It is impossible to do more than vaguely suspect its meaning, so great lias been its influence on the human race and so vast are the possibilities of its influence in the future. Eighty-six years hence, in 1979, the world will celebrate the cen tennial of an infinitely greater event than that of the landing of Columbus on the shores of the new world. The world will celebrate the publication of the immortal work "Progress and Pov erty," the book that will never die. Long before that time the truth which it enunciates will be universally ac cepted and applied. The worldwide ap plication of the single tax will have a greater and more beneficial effect on the human race than if a score of Christo pher Columbuses had discovered a score of new worlds. For what would we gain even though this planet was ten times its present size so long as a few may own the land upon which all must live? Under those conditions there must be injustic, in equality, misery, poverty, pestilence and sin. • With the year 1979 begins the Geor gian epoch. The man who evolved the idea and gaye it to the world of applying economic rent to public purposes by the simple plan of single tax on the value of land will divide honors with those of our nameless primitive ancestors who first put sounds together to form words and rubbed sticks togother or struck flints to make fire, lie will be the cen tral figure of all history. Even though this ever-changing sphere should last for four million years the name Henry George will never die. It is a name that will go thundering down the corridors of time, resounding through the ages. No man will dispute with him his foremost place in history until a greater than Brown Sequard shall have discovered the real elixir of life. The time will como, thanks to this book, "Progress and Poverty," when the fatherhood of God and the brother hood of man will be so universally recognized that it will be difficult for people to conceive of a time when their tacestors competed desperately for a pre carious existence as they have done up to the present, when the history of the world up to our time will cease to be generally taught and the merciful man tle of oblivion will be tbnrwn around tire miserable, unnatural and bloody period preceding the twentieth century. | —St. Lou in Republic.

Wliile Governor McKinley is being nominated for president in 1890 by the Homo Market club of Boston, and while he is holding aloft the banner of "Pro tection and Reciprocity" nud telling the rich manufacturers at the banquet that "the Republican party requires neither apology nor eulogy. It follows its prin ciples 110 more in victory than in defeat. The defeat of 1892 has not mndo those principles less true or less enduring, nor our faith in their ultimate triumph less firm," the most representative gathering that ever met on republican soil—as the New York Press calls the meeting of tho Republican national committee and oth er Republican organizations at Louis ville in conjunction with that of tho Re publican National league—wis prepar ing to make one of tho greatest Hank movements ever made by any party anx ious to get away from the principles which had caused its defeat. The truth is that a majority of those present at Louisville recognized what will be more apparent to the great tin plato prophet, Major McKinley, before the end of this century, the fact that "protection" is doomed and with it any party that will again dare to advocate the McKinley brand of "protection." It has been six months since the November election, and the wide awake young Re publicans who have had their ears to the ground have heard ominous rumblings that have not reached the ears of some of the mossbacks, partially deafened by prejudice in favor of a policy "deeply imbedded in tho hearts of the party and interwoven with its spirit, its history and its life," as McKinley puts it. Hence the great representative body of Republicans who shouted "protection and reciprocity" louder last fall than any other words never whispered the words at Louisville. They made a plat form which neither mentions these words nor tho words "silver" or "force bill." Instead it discusses woman suf frage, Hawaii, the Pinkerton system and "a general law for tho safety of life and limb of railway employees." These were weak sticks out of which to make a plat form, but any kind of timber was con sidered better than that in the old plat form, upon which it was not safe to stand another day. Of course such a conspicuous omission, evasion, shifting and substitution is dis pleasing to those who are Republicans and protectionists for business reasons or on moral grounds, and who are not in politics mainly for party spoils. It is somo of this class of Republicans who aro strewing thorns along the new route laid out by the Louisville convention of Republican clubs. The New York Com mercial Advertiser thinks the conven tion "went too far;" that it wasnoi."nu thorized to frame a platform;" that "it mistook its function and wasted its time," and that "thu Republican cam paign of 1890 should not bo inaugurated by stupid blunders." Tho "G. O. P." of "protection and rec iprocity" is sinking rapidly. The rats have deserted it. Those who remain on board do so at tho peril of their lives. "Blip's" Hot Shot. Let labor compel tho capitalists to prove their profession of friendship to American labor by having laws passed restricting immigration. No "protec tionist" would agree to this, however. They all want protection for themselves, and it gives them still further protection to liavo free trade in labor. If the people of this country knew how much tariff they pay, and the profits they pay the middleman on that tariff, and the higher prices paid on articles of homo manufacture by reason of protec tion, there would he another "tea party," and on a much larger scale than the one in Boston harbor, in mighty short order. Foreign pauper labor ponies in duty free, and yet thero uro iteuple who pro fess to believe that a high tariff on manufactured goods protects American labor. Capitalists encourage foreign pauper labor to como to this country— holding out the inducement of high wages and steady employment. Thesu laborers come to this country at the rate of 500,000 a year, overcrowding the labor mnrket and running down wages. If a man tells you that protection in creases wages, ask him to explain why it is that old England pays higher wages today than during the days of her pro tective policy. Ask him why it is that she puys higher wages than any of tho other old countries which havo protec tion. Ask him why it is that right here in this country, where tho tariff is tho same in every part, wages are higher in the west than in the east, and higher in the north than in tho south.—Chicago Free Trader. Cheaper Coal For New Filmland. The professors of McKinleyism in New England who have persistently declared that tho coal of Nova Scotia was of poor quality and would not find a market in this country even if the duty should bo removed must be surprised by the con tinued manifestations of a desire on tho part of New England capitalists to put 'their money into Nova Scotia mines and unworked coal areas. Tho Dominion Coal company was the first of tho largo corporations by which New England capital was invested in the mines of Cape Breton island, and now there are four more American syndicates seeking charters like that which this company obtained. Tho most formidable of tlieso is a group of capitalists who are interested in manufactures in New Bedford, Fall River, Pawtueket, Providence and Bos ton, and these gentlemen have obtained control of coalfields on the western side of Capo Breton in which there arc suid to be 290,000,000 tons. Theso fields have not been worked because harbor and railway facilities were lacking. The mines and undoveloi>ed deposits of the Dominion company are on tho eastern side of the island. The removal of the duty on bituminous coal will doubtless be followed by large importation from this region for tho use of New England manufacturers.—New York Times. OUTRAGEOUS AND DAMNABLE. Such Immigrant Inspector Conkling De clares tlie Padrone System to fte. Immigrant Inspector Conkling, in an official report made to the treasury de partment as to the violation of tho alien 30ntract labor law, among other strong Btatemonts says: "The padrone system is tho most damnable, outrageous and injurious to American workingnien of any system that was ever practiced in the United Btates, and there is no denying the fact that it exists in almost every city of this country where there is an Italian col ony." The report details how Italian laborers are brought into this country, coached and instructed on tho jouruey over, so that when they arrive by false swearing they evade tho inspectors. "They have no conscientious scruples about perjuring themselves and will swear to anything necessary to accom plish their discharge in case they are de tained," says tho report. Mr. Conkling says that the railroad contractor need not he so closely watched in future in regard to tho violation of tho alien contract labor law as the Italian bankqr and padrone. Tho former, in partnership with tho padrone, furnishes tho money, and newly arrived Italians are supplied in hundreds to work on American railroads to tho exclusion of American workmen. The padrone usu ally makes a contract with the railroad contractor to food the hands. A shanty costs him SIOO or so, and ho clears his original investment from the first mouth's receipts, tho balance for many months being nearly all profit. The bank er thus gets the money ho had advanced to the padrone. "These aliens,'' Inspector Conkling sayß, "are of the very worst element— vicious and hard to control, dangerous to tho community in which they ree&de — and are semibrutish in their manners and habits." They work for small wages, live in a manner that American laborers regard as barbarous, and as a conse quence Mr. Conkling finds they aro driv ing out laborers of other nationalities in railroad building. Tho report was called forth by instructions issued by Assistant Secretary Spaulding last March to look into tho illegal landing of 10 Italian la borers at Ellis island. As a result of two months' labor Inspector Conkling has arrested Fillippo Catone, a padrone, on whoso perjured affidavit tho 10 Italians were landed. Tho case is an important one and will be tried in the New York state courts. Tho Law Not Enforced. Last February the council, influenced by complaints which had been made of tho insanitary condition of most of the littlo workshops in this city where ready made clothing is manufactured, passed an ordinance for the licensing of all houses or rooms in which wearing apparel is manufactured, altered or re paired. No person can run such a workshop unless ho takes out May 1 of each year a license costing him sl. When an application is made, it is to he handed over to the commissioner of health to see that the premises are in san itary condition. It is made his duty also to close any workshop "which is not kept in a cleanly condition and free from vermin and every matter of an infectious or contagious nature." The violation of any of the provisions of tho ordinance is punishable by a fine of from $lO to SIOO dollars for each offense. Thus far only one person out of the 500 who are affected by the ordinance has taken out a license. It is not likely that many others will do so unless they are driven to it. The license feo is nom inal, and no one can say that it is a hard ship for him to pay it. The object is to havo tho whereabouts of all these places known, so that tho health department can keep a closer watch on them, and so that by the threat of tho revocation of a license and tho consequent stoppago of business tho commissioner can force the proprietor of a shop to keep his premises in decent condition. It is for the city authorities to decide whether tho ordinance shall bo enforced or allowed to dio because there is no longer any stir made about sweaters and their shops. It is their duty to notify the proprietors of these workshops, through the police, to appear and be licensed. If they fail to obey at once, then the law de partment should begin suits against them. There is no doubt that many of the places where ready made clothing is manufactured are in a bad sanitary con dition, that clothing is handled some times in rooms occupied by persons sick with scarlet fever and similar diseases, and it is natural that such diseases should under the circumstances bo dis tributed widely.—Chicago Tribune. Compulsory Arbitration. Tho objectors to compulsory arbitra tion havo sometimes said that it would result in slavery for tho workingman. Tho advocates make light of this, but really and seriously is it not slavery when a man who wants if J per day for his labor can bo compelled at the point of the bay onet to work for SI.BO per day? There would bo no fear, it seems to ino, of capi tal going out of the state cr out of th country under the regime of compulsory arbitration in industrial affairs, for it would gladly seize upon tho results of such a regime to compel a riso in prices to secure a combination which the law insisted upon.—Carroll D. Wright in Forum. Helping the Unemployed. The Salvation Army, through its San Francisco agency, known as the "Life boat," has obtained employment during the past four months for between OOf and 000 men who were unable to secure an l- ikind of work in the city. These yro sent out of the city to work on r; _os and farms. In every case the Army provided the means to pay railroad fares and other necessary expenses, and in no ease was a fee to be deducted from subsequent earnings. Say what you will about tho peculiar mothods employed by the Army in propagating its religious views, it is undoubtedly a friond of the poor.
