FREELAND, PA., APRIL 26, 1894.
Wo have over 7,0(10 miles of fron
tier to guard. It co..ts money to
build and maintain custom houses,
revenue cutters, etc Do away with
them and make all taxation direct.
When the editor of the Charleston
yews, a well-known Democratic paper,
wrote the following he must have been
thinking of such congressmen us Billy
Mines: "For a hundred years the
country has not been so unfortunately
represented at Washington, as it is
by the present congress; by so many
demagogues and tricksters, by so
many shyster "statesmen" who have
hud so great concern for private and
personal ends and so little regard for
political promises and party pledges."
If a man tells you that protection
increases wages, ask him (o explain
why it is that free traile England
pays higher wages today than during
the days of her protective policy.
Ask him why it is that she pays high
er wages than any of the other old
countries, which have protection.
Ask him why it is that right here in
this country, where the tariff is the
same in every part, wages are higher
in the west than in the east, and
higher in the north than in the south.
Chicago / 'rue Trader.
►Should the enforcement of the
dockage rule, by which it is proposed
to deduct from members' salaries the
time they lose, be carried out in con
gross, as has been proposed, it may
result in more regular attendance by
the member from this district.
There is no man in this country who
loves tlic dollar more than Luzerne's
congressman, and he will not have his
salary cut down any if he can help it.
►Still, the opportunities to make dick
ers with prospective p. m.'s are many,
and it may pay him to lose a day or
two occasionally to conclude the sale.
Billy's term of utlice is getting short,
and he should lose no time in dis
posing of the few offices that are yet
on the bargain counter. He will
never be auctioneer again.
So Congressman Mines is no longer
Postmaster General Bissell's friend.
This may be more alarming as a fact
than appears at first sight. Mr.
Jlines is credited to the Luzerne dis
trict, a county having 201,20:* popu
lation at the last census, and that
gave Mr. Mines 1,102 majority in a
total vote of 31,030 two years ago.
This vote was cast in 210 election
precincts, in which there are 134 post
offices, ten by presidential appoint
ment. Here is the cause of Mr.
Mines' break with Mr. Bissell. The
situation up that way is importunate
und important. Mr. Mines claims
that every nomination should have his
indorsement, ami unless this is the
case no number of peace commis
sioners cau maintain harmony, and
without harmony and the offices no
Democrat can hope to carry the elec
tion precincts that gave the majority
in 1892. Mr. Bissell does not so
think with Mr. Mines on the subject,
and there is the nutshell and the nut.
Perhaps Mr. Mines will revise his
views as more offices come duo.—

Iu the debates on the tariff, both
in the house and senate, the Repub
licans have stood up gallantly and de
feuded the principles of their party
and their own convictions. There is
nothing that is more admirable in a
man than to see him upholding what
ho thinks is right, and whether his
opinion iu the matter is correct or
not, he deserves commendation for
his courage in expressing it. Con
trasted with the faltering and piteous
appeals that have been made by
many Democratic speakers in con
gress, the arguments of Republicans
for a contiuuanco of the protective
policy arc superior iu every respect,
simply because the men who now
control the Democratic party will not
stand up and speak out the real
meaning of their last national plat
form. The position in which they
have placed the organization is a
humiliating one, for with every de
partment of tho government under
their control they are afraid to reduce
the tariff; yet, like Billy Hines, a
large number of them will have the
audacity to ask for a re election.

TOM JOHNSON'S SPEECH.
HIS BRILLIANT RESPONSE TO THE
TOAST OF FREE TRADE.
Cliicugo'a Leading Democratic Orguniza
tion, the Iroquois Club, Gives Him a
Itoyal Reception After His Fearless
Address for Freedom of Commerce.
1 be Iroquois Club of Chicago recently
held an anniversary celebration. Only
club members and especially invited
guests were present, no known free
traders or single taxers being in the
audience, and yet all of the Chicago
papers state that Congressman Tom L.
Johnson, of Ohio, received a greater
ovation than that tendered to any of the
other distinguished speakers, of which
there were several, including many
prominent men from every part of the
country. The applause which greeted
Mr. Johnson's declarations was peculiar
ly significant, and surprised those who
were not aware of the popularity of the
doctrine which he advocated. The ad
dress, which was favorably commented
upon by the press of the West, was in
response to the toast of "Free Trade,"
and the following extract of it is taken
from the Time*, Chicago's bright single
tax daily:
| There is no toust to which I would more
gladly respond than that you have assigned
me. For there is none that involves more of
pressing interest to the country, of vital inter
est to the party. I am a free trader because I
tun a Democrat! 1 am a Democrat because 1
am a free trader! The Democratic idea of
equal rights to all and special privileges to
none is stultified and mocked by anything less
than free trade, and in the face of economic
issues the Demacratic party becomes discord
i ant and helpless ami contemptible when it
takes anything less than free trade for its
touchstone and standard and rallying cry. He
is blind indeed who cannot see that now.
Where, today, is the great party that two
years ago swept the country us Jefferson swept
it in 1800, the party iuto whose hands an out
raged people, revolting from the iniquities of
the McKinley act, gave the whole power ol* the
government—presidency and scuutc and house
of representatives? Broken, discredited, fore
doomed to defeat. With all power in its hands
for over a year the McKinley uet is yet un
repealed and the trusts ure trading with the
senate for the continuance of their power to
rob the people. And on the political wall is
the writing: "Thou art weighed in the balance
and found wanting!" What is the reason of
the paralysis that has so quickly converted
power into impotency, victory into the doom
ot defeat? Itisthutthe Democratic party, or
it least the politicians and munugers of the
partes feared to say free trade, and insteud of it
made "tariff reform" the watchword of the
party.
Free trade! There is meaning in the words.
They mean Just what they say—trude without
legal impediment or restriction; trade that
gives no citizen an udvantage over any other
citizen; trade that pays no toll to any special
interest, no tribute to ring or trust or lobbyist;
trade which knows no custom house or tariff
question; trude with all the world, as free, as
untraminelcd us that which goes on within the
boundaries of our union between all its several
states. This is the real American system, the
true democratic system, the only natural and
common sense system.
SOME At'OSTI.ES OF TARIFF REFORM.
Rut what does turiff reform mean? Anything
or nothing. Harrison was a tariff reformer.
Tom Heed was, and yet Is, a turiff reformer,
and rendered most efficient service to the
Democratic tariff reformers of the way* und
means committee by helping them to keep in
the Wilson bill duties dear to trusts and com
binations, which the majority of the Democrats
I oil the floor voted to strike out. What is the
difference between such men and the Demo
cratic senator from Ohio whose sole idea in
tariff reform is to keep up the duty on coal and
iron ore, the Democratic senator from (,'ali
lornia who thinks it his mission to keep up the
duty on fruit, the Democratic senator from
New York who uses the power of the Empire
state to keep up the duty oil collurs and cuffs,
or the Democratic senator from Louisiana who
retained in his pocket u commission from a
Democratic president as Justice of the supreme
court ol the United States, in orderthut, before
he left the senate, he could bargain for the
continuance, In the hands of a few rich men, of
i the power to rob the masses by artificially en
hancing the price of sugar?
Even those who are loth to acknowledge the
assistance rendered by strulglltuut free traders
to the Democratic party in 1892, must admit
that it won the victory on the promise of turitf
reform. What did it mean by tariff reform?
,ls 1111,0 Principle set forth in our platform
declaring protection a robbery and a fraud?
Has it the doctrine taught by Democratic
speakers and the Democratic press in their
denunciations of protection before election?
H as it the Wilson bill, as It originally cnmc
from tin- subcommittee of Ave? Was it the
U ,ls "" 1,111 after the influence of the lobby liad
emasculated it in its passage through tiie com
mittee of ways and means? Was it the bill as
It came from the committee of the whole house
where 'l'om Heed and his solid Republican
strength came to the aid of the ways and
means committee to vote the duties up and the
free list down? Or is it what is left of the free
raw material theory of the Wilson bill, Uh it
now appears in the senate after the big'trusts
' and the Wall street speculators have not in
their "line work?"
I'KOTECTIONISTS IN DISOLIKK.
As a matter of fact, the measure of tariff
reform, which will result from thcKreat Demo
cratic victory of lsitt, will bo finally framed to
suit the wishes of the conservatives in the
Democratic ranks, who are really proteetion
masquerading under the elastic name of
tariff reformers. Witli the Republican protec
tionists buck of thera they hold the balance of
power, and their votes must be bought by
sc ledules which continue the robbory from
which tin- masses have demanded relief. The
majority of the Democratic side must take
W M i c an get after the conservatives arc
sat,sllcd and at las, the American people must
wait until the American house of lords consents
to act, and got in the and lust what the trusts
and combinations choose to give. The real
settlement of any difference between the senate
and the house is in the hands of the conference
committee. That is to say, on the part of the
house, it is in hands of members of the com
mittee on ways and means. If there were
likely to be a single free trader among the con
ferees on the part of the house there might bo
some hope. Hut the Democratic mujority in
the committtee of ways and means is made up
of tariff reformers. It will contain no free
trader. Every free trader was carefully ex
cluded in making up the committee of ways
and meuns.
Fellow Democrats, on what issue and on what
promise are we to go before the people iu the
coming election? Is it still to be tariff reform?
Are we to hold up the eiuoseuluted bill lhut is
the only thing now likely to get through as j
what we mean by tariff reform? Or are wo to j
ask to be ugain given power in order that wr i
may reform our own tariff reform? To go
iuto the campaign in that way is to go to defeat.
The only hope Is to raise, openly and uiioquivu- !
cully, the banner of free trade. It the Demo
cratic party does not stand in opposition to the j
protective idea it stands for nothing. And it
must be swept aside by some party that does I
voice the Democratic principle. If the Demo
cratic party is to live it must cast all protcc- '
tionists out ol' its ranks. There is 110 room in it
for a moderate protectionist, or a local pro
tectionist, or any other kind of a protectionist.
Masquerading as tariff reform Democrats the>
can only bring the Democratic party into con
tempt and defeat. One protectionist party is :
enough. That place is already tilled by the j
Republican party. Let the Democrats who |
cannot stand free trade go there, and let us
ussist them to go.
DEMAND FOU A FREE TRADE PARTY.
The country wants a free trade party, and so
| long as protectionists control Democratic policy
und dictate Democratic tariff schedules, the
rapidly growing body of free traders who cure
little for political uumcs und much for political
principles, will refuse to join our ranks or
follow our loud. And why should they? Why
should the people, whom the last election
showed were conscious of the robbery of the
tariff, and who have become more and more
conscious every day since then, put further
trust i.i the sincerity ol u party that can
produce nothing better than the Wilson bill,
and then not even stand up to that?
The school master is indeed abroad, and such
an economic education of the masses is going
on as never before. By its bounty on sugar
the McKinley bill proved even to protectionists
that u protective duty was the equivalent of a
bounty. The Wilson bill tenderly earing for
trusts is furnishing to honest protectionists
another great object lesson, which the Republi
can papers are busy in explaining to them- the
lesson that protection is never in the interests
of the workman, but always in the interest of
the monopolist. These papers are teaching
wiser than they know. In showing up the
Iniquity of the sugar trust they are showing
the iniquity of the steel rail trust. In show
ing the injustice und wrong of protecting
Democratic sugar growers and coul barons
they are showing the wrong of protecting a
Republican steel rail pool, a wall paper trust
and a combination of glass manufacturers.
The honest protectionist, who has already
begun to doubt, will, now that his friends thus
show him the evils of protection, begin to
believe that the Chicago platform was right
when it declured protection to be a fraud The
Republican protest against the Wilson bill is
doing free trade work in the Republican camp.
McKinley, in his protection run mad, did more
to educate the people on free trade lines than
all the free trade organizations in the country;
and McKinlcy'B work is now being completed
by the Republican press.
ADVANTAGES OF FREE TRADE.
Free trade! Why should we fear to announce
it? Trade is civilization. The wider trade ex
tends, the faster und the higher the advance of
human progress. Civilized men must trade.
Without trade we should he savages. Why
not, then, trade freely? A man's right to the
fruit of Ids toil is not complete without the
freedom to exchange it. To abridge that free
dom is to liiuit that right. To hum per exchange,
whether by a custom duty or a toll gate, is b.
that extent to deny the right of property, the
right of each man to his own earnings If
trade be good, free trade must be good.
"Free!" The magic of that word has cheered
the philosopher and inspired the poet. It has
ever been the watchword of those who stood
for right against wrong. It has ever stirred
the hcurt of the musses. Why should those
who proclaim the equality of human rights
fear free trade? It is not an enemy to dread
but a friend to welcome.
Hut it will be said: "Free trade that would
abolish custom houses and internal revenue
tuxes would lead to the single tux!" < Vrtuinly
it would. And there is its strength. It would
do little good to abolish the impediments to ex
change if we did not also abolish the impedi
menta to production. The greatest of all im
pediments to production, the greatest of ail
monopolies that are impoverishing the many
and enriching the few is the monopoly of land
—the primary element of all production. Free
trade, carried to its logical conclusion, the i
single tax, would übolish this fundamental j
monopoly, and in doing so solve the lubor ques
tion and übolish voluntary poverty.
This labor question, this bread and butter
question, this question of why willing workers
must be fed by charity, and advances in the
productive power ol labor lessen wuges, is Un
living, burning question of today. It is oil lis
now. It must be met. Our old tweedledum
and twccdlcdee polities are done. There is
room for an uristocrutic party that will stand
for special privileges and vested rights* Hut
there is no room for a Democratic party that
will not heed the cry of the toilers and voice
the demands for the natural rights of men.
W hat is the single tax but the application t<.
the all-important social question of the demo
cratic principle of equal rights to all and
special privileges to none? In declaring frank
ly and openly for free trade and the single tax
the Democratic party would cease to he a
nominal democracy und would become a real
democracy. It would drive out of its ranks
those who do not belong to it, those who fetter
it and weaken it, and would gather from all
sides that great body to whom the democratic
principle has always appealed, it would
become indeed the party of the masses against
the classes, the party of right against the party
of privilege. It would go forward to certain
victory. Rut a Democratic party that lacks
the courage of Democratic conviction invites
I certain defeat.

A Good Lrgiitlator.
There are never too many good men ;
in the state legislature, possessing at '
once the inclination to utilize their op- ,
portunities for the interest of -the tax
payers and the genius to make their ef- '
forts effective. When, therefore, any
such develop an ambition to be returned
it is the proper policy for good citizens '
! everywhere and irrespective of party
affiliations to encourage the ambition.
We are led to these remarks by happen
ing to notice the announcement that
Colonel Henry F. James, of Venango,
: who has served the people of that coun-
I ty and the state generally for the last
two terms, faithfully and wisely, is a
candidate for re-election. Colonel James
is a Republican, and that is all that can
be said against him, but since a ltepub
lican will undoubtedly be returned from
the district the voters should recognize
true worth by giving Mr. James another
term.
The colonel is of Yankee birth, hav
ing first seen the light in Massachusetts
in 1841, was a sea-faring man for a
while and went to the Pennsylvania oil
country, in the early days of the excit
ment there, and has since become one
of its most energetic and useful citizens.
He has been prominent in farmers and
forestry congresses, a worker in school
boards, and in other ways lias given
gratis much of his valuable time to that
class of subjects, which, as they are
everybody's business, would be utterly
neglected but for such patriotic and self
sacrificing spirits, who succeed in accom
plishing a great deal of good work,
mainly because their hearts are enlisted
and they are unbiassed by selfish con
siderations.
This training made him specially
qualified to be of use in the legislature
in all matters in which the interests of
the taxpayers were at stake. His voice
was always to be heard, not for par
simony in dealing with public funds (for
i that is often the worst extravagace) but
for a proper economy. Insidious as
saults upon the property rights of citi
zens, of which evey session yields a large
assortment, always found in him, not
only an implacable foe, but one fortified
with the facts, and the reason and cour
age to proclaim them that will always tell
against such measures, when they are
properly marshalled. We desire that
the citizens of Venango shall know, that
while securing for themselves the fur
ther service of a most excellent repre
sentative, they will, in renominating
and re-electing Colonel James, be doing I
the entire state a good service.
Coxe and t!• (aovcruorHliip.
From tin; Philadelphia Times.
It was announced recently thatEckley !
11. Coxe was in training by the anti- i
administration forces of Pennsylvania j
to be made the Democratic candidate
for governor, but Mr. Coxe has uncere
moniously exploded the scheme by say
ing that he is not, and will not be, a
candidate for the oflice.
1 here are doubtless two reasons why j
Mr. Coxe won't accept the Democratic !
nomination for governor. First, he I
doesn't want to be defeated, and second, !
lie doesn't want to be elected. Impor
lant as are the duties of the gubernato- j
rial ollice he has what are to him very
much more important duties in manag- |
ing his large private business affairs.
1 Ic has no ambition for political prefer
ment, and has never been made a can
didate for any oflice by his own efforts,
and he is not likely to change in that 1
particular.
if Kckley 13. Coxe could be prevailed !
upon to accept the Democratic nomina- \
lion for governor their is little doubt
that neither the anti-administration men
nor the administration men would stop j
to inquire with which particular interest ,
he is in sympathy. He is one of the i
big, broad-guage men of the state who is
competent to till any position within the
gift of Pennsylvania, and we have no
man in eithei party who would make a
safer chief magistrate; hut he dosen't
want the oflice, and he certainly doesn't i
want to he nominated to he crucified by |
Democratic follies in Washington. It is j
safe, therefore, to count Mr. Coxe as not
in the gubernatorial race.
There is more catarrh in this section

For a great many years doctors pro
