FREELAND, DECEMBER 18, 1893.
TWO STRONG PLANKS.
Substance of a Paper Head llefore a Bal
timore Charitable Organization.
The following is part of a paper read
at the annual meeting of the Charity
Organization Society some time since, at
Baltimore. It was the indorsed opinion
of District Assembly 41, Knights of La
bor, and was prepared by a committee
appointed for that purpose:
In all the charitable literature it is as
sumed that poverty is the natural lot of
the masses; the members of charity or
ganizations and even ministers of the
gospel take it for granted that this is the
condition which the Creator intended \
for many of his children. It is to this 1
assumption that we take exception, and 1
while we endeavor to assist our brothers
in distress, we insist that the masses
must be educated in order to abolish the
necessity for charity, as now understood.
With the fatherhood of God and the
brotherhood of man as a religious founda
tion, we insist that it is justice that is
wanted—not charity. From this stand
point we have formulated a platform de
manding certain legislation. The two <
planks Which have become burning i
questions are the fourth and eighteenth.
The latter is:
That the government shall obtain possession, \
by purchase, under the right of eminent do
main, of all telegraphs, telephones and rail
roads; and that thereafter no charter or license
be i-sued to any corporation for construction
or operation of any means transporting intelli
gence, passengers or freight.
It is almost universally conceded that
there can he no real competition in a
natural monopoly for any length of time;
to secure equality to all, these natural
monopolies must be under the control
of the government, and we believe it is
a question of a very short time when
this demand will be granted. The
fourth plank is:
Thut the land, including all natural resources
of wealth, is the heritage of all the people, and
should uot nc subject to speculative trallic.
Occupancy and use should bo the only title to
the possession of land. Taxes upon laud should
be levied upon its full value fur use exclusive
of improvements, and should be sufficient to
to tahe for the community all the unearned
increment.
The Knights of Labor claim that the
enactment into law of these two de
mands would remove the cause of chari
ty. What the fourth plank, if put into
practical effect, would do, is this: No
land has any value unless two or more
men want it; whensoo,ooo people settle
in a city like Baltimore the value given
by the 500,000 is unearned by the indi
viduals who claim to own the land of
Baltimore; we propose to take for the
community, the value conferred by the
community.
This would make the man who is
holding land out of use or putting it to
inferior use abandon it to some one who
would use it and pay the taxes. This
would have the effect of opening oppor-'
tunities to thousands of men now unable
to find remunerative employment.
Wages would rise, for no man would
work for another for less than he could
make by working for himself or by co
operating with his fellows.
The man that occupied the best lot
in Baltimore would pay the highest
price to the city, to he used for the good
of all. The rich idler's power would he
gone. The monopoly of land, the moth
er of all other monopolies destroyed,
man would once more stand erect. In
voluntary poverty would he banished
from the face of the earth; there would
he no paupers. When you can tell a
pauper "Go to work, you have an equal
opportunity with all others," there will I
be no excuse for pauperism.
For the blind, the deformed, and af
flicted, asylums could he provided, not
as an act of charity by philanthropic
ladies and gentlemen, but as an act of
justice by the people.
Let us, in conclusion, urge the mem
bers of this organization to continue to
alleviate distress, hut to look for some
thing better than charity—justice. A
well-known writer has said that "be
hind every social problem there is a
social wrong," and we hope that the
charitable ladies and gentlemen will
bend their energies to righting the
wrongs that are the cause of all the ills
that afflict humanity, and not stop with
palliating wrongs by relieving the dis
tress of those who seek work, and lind
it not, who would he men in every sense
of the word if they had but the oppor
tunity.

PICKED I P BY THE WAY.
THINGS SEEN AND HEARD IN THE
TOWN AND VICINITY.
Mutters of u Local Nature Written I'p
and Placed llefore the Readers of the
••Tribune" by the Snuntercr-Somethhig
Here May Interest You.
Though the council was ad
vised through a local paper that
it is not necessary to vote upon
a ''light tax" (as suggested in
this column a few weeks ago),
unless the works are to he erect
ed by the borough, the members
appear to think otherwise, judg
ing from their action in the mat
ter last week, and to pi-ovide a
source of revenue to pay for the
light they very sensibly decided
to let the people express their
opinion upon the question.
There is nothing like looking
ahead occasionally, and befoi-e
bargaining for any article it is
more comforting to know the
money will be forthcoming to
pay for it. This is precisely
what Freeland's council has
done, and it is to the members'
credit that they have made no
rash promises to adopt and pay
for electric light, and then, per
haps, before they use it six
months, discover that their
treasury is exhausted.
When the voters consent to
pay the slight extra tax which
may be required for a year or
two the way will lie clear and
I the light will shine, but it would
he poor policy for the council
to take upon itself the respon
sibility of ordering an article
that the present income of the
borough will not admit paying
I for. My friend who is so anx
' iotis to offer inducements to
bring South Heberton into the
borough would hardly approve
of any undue haste that might
I eventually place both the bor
ough and the light company in
a position which would leave
the former with no remedy for
raising means to pay the latter.
It is usually better to do tilings
in a safe and sure way, even if
j some ]ieo2>le do think it is not
necessary.
The date for holding this
special election will, I under
stand, he settled upon at the
regular January meeting, and
from all indications yet visible
rite result will be an overwhelm
ing victory for the electric light.
The power of the council to in
crease taxes is restricted, and
eight additional mills is the
highest that can be put on, af
ter the voters have consented.
An increase of four-fifths of a
cent on the present rFte (now
one and one half cents) is cer
tainly a very small amount,
and any opposition that may
arise at the election cannot
consistently be based upon the
plea that it will make an ex
horbitant advance in taxes. The
person who now pays si to the
borough treasury would pay
about Sl.fft next year, if the
I lighq tax carries, and as this
levy is expected to continue for
only a few years there should
be a unanimous vote for light.
The show windows of the
stores make known the fact that
the holiday season is almost
upon us, and the merchants are
noticeable by their activity and
strict attention to business.
There are many people here who
fail to realize that the stores of
town are prepared to furnish
anything within reasonable
bounds that may be required by
purchasers, and a visit to the
business places will show such
a variety of everything that
one is surprised to learn of per
sons going out of town for arti
cles which may he had a few
doors from their own.
This is especially true of the
holiday trade, and the seekers for
novelties or other goods will he
hard to accommdate if they can
not select from the large stocks
that the merchants have this
year. However, the people are
not wholly to blame for their
apparent disregard of the old
motto, "patronize home talent."
J With some exceptions the busi
j ness men fail to let the public
l know what goods they handle
or at what prices they sell, eon
| sequently when buyers see an
nouncements of "bargains" else
where they go there, thinking
the same are not to be had in
Freeland or a similar announce
ment and invitation would be
made to them.
I am not mentioning this in
the interests of the advertising
columns of any paper, but to
call the attention of the mer
chants to the fact that the town
is losing trade by their neglect
to inform the community of the
extent and assortment of goods
that is in Freeland. The stock
carried by some men here is
simply astonishing, and when
they wonder why the people
don't buy they should remem
ber that the "public is in total
darkness of what they have fox
sale. Buyers, as a general rule,
deal where it is to their advan
tage, and the astute merchant
never misses an opportunity to
impress upon them that it is to
their advantage to buy of him.
This is done by personal solici
tation or by attractive and
steady advertising in the papers
circulating where his prospec
tive customers reside. Now as
the stores are supplied with
everything this season, let all
pull together and it will be of
mutual benefit to buyer and
seller. SAUNTEEEK.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, December 15,1893.
President Cleveland, having exhaust
thc constitutional means at his command
to right what lie considered a great
wrong perpetrated in Ilawii in the name
of and by the power of the United
States, will now, after having furnished
all the information in his possession,
leave it to congress to say what, if any
thing further, shall be done, lie makes
no apology for what he has done, know
ing that he has not violated the authori
ty vested in him by the constitution and
believing now as he did at the time of
Minister Willis' departure from the
United States that what he did was an
act of justice from a strong to a weak
nation.
I Senator Vest unmercifully scored ex-
Minister Stevens and the New Eng
enders who instigated the Hawaiin
revolution, in a short speech, replying
to one made by Senator Frye eulogizing
the Christian qualities of Mr. Stevens.
He made a palpable hit and laised a
hearty laugh when he charged that the
New England revolutionists of Hawaii
had Christianized the natives out of
their country, taking possession of it in
the name of God, and then dividing the
land among themselves under a law
made by themselves; and he stated a
great truth, manifest to all, when he
said that it was the policy of the Repub
licans to have, instead of the compact
continental republic established by the
fathers, a great, expansive territory
acquiring government extending to the
islands of the ocean, and to the utter
most parts of the earth, Mr. Vest be
lieves that the true policy of the United
States in Hawaii and all other foreign
countries is "hands off."
"I can assure the senator," said Sena
tor Hill, of New York, to Senator Cul
lom, of Illinois, "that the Democratic
party does intend to carry out the tariff
promises of its national platform faith
fully, honestly and impartially." Noth
ing bombastic about those plain words
modestly spoken in reply to Cullom's
sneers and half-spoken taunts about the
party being afraid of its platform declara
tions on the tariff, hut they have destroy
ed some very elaborately constructed
stories intended to cheer the protection
ists, in which Senator Hill invariably
appeared as the leader of the Democratic
wing of the protection army. The fact
that their is no such wing has not worri
ed the concoetors of these lomances;
they would not recognize a fact if they
met it in the road, and they would not
thank anybody to introduce them to one.
I Congressman Morse, of Massachusetts,
possesses that faculty which oncel.upon
a time caused the monkey to attempt to
investigate a buzz saw in motion. He
again assumed tlie role of monkey tins
week, to the buzz saw of Delegate Raw
lins, of Utah. After being unmercifully
held up to ridicule by Rawlins, Morse
had to acknowledge that his opposition
to the hill for the admission of Utah as a
state, which was passed by the house,
was based entirely upon a hook written
by Brigham Young's fifteenth wife.
What would be thought of a lawyer who
would make Uncle Tom's Cabin" the
corner-stone of a case to be tried in the
courts at the present time? Just about
the same that is thought of Morse now.
Chairman Wilson proved iiis earnest
ness in pushing the tariff bill by making
the very unusual proposition that the
Christmas recess be not taken this year,
in order that the time lost in getting the
bill before the house be made up.
While the proposition has been received
with considerable favor the difficulty of
keeping a quorum here and the certainty
j that the Republicans would allow nothing
to be done without one makes it improb
! able that it will be carried out. It is no
| fault of the Democratic members of the
j committee that the bill is not now before
; the house; they have worked night and
| day to overcome the obstacles which
j have confronted them. S.
