FREELAND, PA., MARCH 2, 189 G. Mayor Plngree's Plan. It. (>. Flower, In his article on "Practi cal Measures to Maintain Self Respecting Manhood." which appears elsewhere in this issue, refers to the fact that Mayor Pingree met with strong opposition when he essayed to help the poor of Detroit in a practical way. This opposi tion showed itself, not in argument, but in ridicule. If this were a solitary in stance, the matter would not be so seri ous. hut wherever a serious attempt is made in behalf of the poor the same kind of opposition, manifested in the same way, is always met. This is quite unfor tunate. The spirit that ridicules any serious effort to do good is not the spirit that solves difficulties, but is the one that hin | dors their solution. History is full of lessons of rebuke to such a spirit. All of our cherished institutions were | once hypotheses and existed only in the. | brains of a few people who had insight land the courage of their convictions, j Freedom, Democracy, Republicanism j were once hated words and are even now jin many countries. All governientis ex ! perimental, and we ought to treat all j efforts to improve any phase of oursocie | ty with at least "decent respect." The I foundation of all liberty and the condi j tioti of all progress is in the right of j every man to think for himself and to j express liis thougts without intimidation, j Ridicule is antilibcral and un-Ameri can. Earnest discussion and experiment | arc the only methods of ridding us of un profitable hypotheses. Another impor- I taut suggestion from Mr. Flower's very ] suggestive article is that our financial i difiiciilities may be in a large measure ; solved without legislation. Each coin- J miinity. independent in a measure of j legislature, can do more than is now being done to solve the problem of poverty. Civilization Like Huckleberry I'io. I A facetious writer in a recent number j of the Commonwealth likened civilization I to a huckleberry pie, having an upper | and a lower crust. The extremely j wealthy and those who consume and j own much more than they produce con | stitute the upper crust; the very poor and those of small means who consume ! and own much less than they produce make up the thicker and unenviable ; lower crust, while those of moderate I means who enjoy the full product of i their own labor, whether of brawn or , brain, are the redeeming portion of the pie. The relations of the crusts and huckle ! berries vary according to the municl -1 pality or nation considered. In Mexico jwe iind that the pie has much crust and few berries. The middle class lias al most disappcard. If we consider New York* city as the pie, the 0 per cent who own the entire area of the city, as shown by the last census, are the honored upper crust, while the large part of the remaining 91 per cent are expected to produce the surplus upon which our Caesars feed. Anthracite Combine Cautious, The meeting of the anthracite coal sales agents to fix the price and output of anthracite for the month of March, which was to have been held in New York on Friday, did not materialize, having been called off by telegraph on Wednesday morning. Explanations as to the sudden calling off of the meeting were anything but satisfactory on the part of the officials. A deep-seated fear concerning the effort of the New York legislature to investigate the methods of the anthracite combine is supposed to be the real reason why the meeting was not held. It is understood, however, that a tacit understanding exists among the repre sentatives of the coal companies that the prices for the month of March will not, he changed, and that the production will be limited to 2,750,000 tons, and possibly to 2.500,000.

To maintain self respecting manhood should bo of paramount importance to an enlightened government, and while I am profoundly convinced that radical and fundamental reforms, which com proliend the abolition of class privileges and special legislation, are essential to tho solution of the great problems which are now pressing upon tho intelligence and conscience of our civilization, yet I fully realize that to peaceably accom plish those splendid triumphs for a high er manhood, will require patient, ear liest and persistent education and agita tion which will stir to its depth the con science of the people. But this will nec essarily require time, aud during this | period wise statesmanship no less than true philanthropy demands that practi cable, palliative measures bo vigorously pushed. One of tho most real and im minent perils which faco tho govern ment today is tho gradual loss of hope I and tho spirit of independence among ! multitudes of our people, duo to adver- j sity and unjust conditions, which are i transforming yearly a largo number of our citizens from sturdy, independent, ; self supporting individuals to objects of charity or tramps. I hold that it is im possible to too strongly emphasize tho ! fact that anything which lowers tho es sential manhood or takes an iota from tho self respect of the humbler citizens is a very real injury to the whole peo ple. The unheeded cry for work, which is the cry of self respecting manhood and is tho antipodes of an appeal for charity, is imbittering thousands of American citizens, while it is forcing other thousands into environments of moral death; it is resulting in driving numbers of men, women and children to drink, crime, suicide and immorality. Aud these irreparable calamities may, to a certain extent, bo averted if our na tion, our states and municipalities awake to tho importance of maintaining or restoring tlio manhood of citizenship aud holding the loyalty of tlio people by bands woven of love and wisdom. In view of these facts, any measures | of a practicable, common sense char acter which restores self respecting manhood, should receive tho cordial support of thoughtful aud earnest men and women. Perhaps tho most striking illustration of this character which lias btfeu introduced in recent years is the famous innovation inaugurated by Mayor Pingreo of Detroit. It would seem almost incredible that so practica ble, common souso and reasonable a plan as that outlined by Mr. Pingreo should have received tho general ridi cule, contempt and opposition which it encountered. It was treated at first as a huge joke or something too absurd and amusing for serious thought, while per sons whowevo dispensing charity, with out stimulating men and women to work and regain a grip on life, were being applauded by an unthinking con ventionalism. The result of Mayor Filigree's eminently practicable meas ures, however, so far exceeded tlio most sanguine expectations of those who ap preciated the wisdom of his plan that New York and many other cities have already inaugurated the Detroit plan, and perhaps even those who first ridi culed the "Pingree potato patch" may be interested in the following facts re lating to the magnificent results—oven when considered from a superficial point of view—which have attended tho ox j periinont during tho past two years in , 1 Detroit and during the past year in Now I York city. Tho winter of 1898-4 found great i numbers of laboring men and women in ' Detroit, as in every other city of the i Union, vainly seeking work and finally driven to ask for charity, while num bers of persons who had hitherto been self respecting, independent, hardwork ing men, finally abandoning the hope of obtaining employment, bee amo tramps. The mayor of Detroit did not believe tlio popular cant that anybody who de sired work could obtain it. He-felt con fident that a large percentage of those who wero sinking into the Dead sea of want and becoming hopeless paupers or confirmed tramps wero being reduced to thoso most pitiable conditions through inability to obtain work, aud holding these convictions ho determined to put tho question to a practical test. Within tho area of Detroit there were over 0,000 acres of land lying idle, much of which was tillable, and Mayor Pin gree and his confreres petitioned tlio holders of this land to permit those who were willing to work to uso it, and in this manner reduce tho great outlay which the city and individuals wero be ing put to in order to support tho starv ing "out of works." The land was promptly secured. The noxt problem was to raise sufficient funds to plow, harrow aud stake off the lots for the ap plicants to purchase seed. Owing to tho absurd opposition, tho ridicule and con tempt offered cm every hand to thiswise and common seuso proposition, no aid could bo expected from tho city council, but SB,GOO was raised by subscription. This enabled the committee appointed to carry on the work in a limited way, and 975 families wore given portions of land to till, although tlio applicants who dosirod to thus earn a livelihood were far greater in number than the commit tee wore able to accommodate. Tho val uo of tho crop raised by tho favored families amounted to between $12,000 and $14,400 more than tho amount in vested, if tho minimum valuo of tho crop bo considered, or, over SIO,OOO more than tho outlay, if the maximum value of tho harvest ho considered. But, above and beyond tho mero mone tary considerations, this experiment was vastly more important in that (1) it demonstrated that a large percentage of those who were forced to ask for charity were eager to earn a livelihood. (2) It has provod a magnificent agricultural education for those permitted to earn their year's food. (3) It infused hope in to tho hearts and homes of nearly a thousand citizens of Detroit during the memorable year in which the plan was inaugurated. (4) It sot an example for thoughtful, earnest and conscientious workers whereby practical palliative measures could bo carried into execution to maintain self respecting manhood, promote industry and materially reduce the draft on charity, which has of late become appallingly large in the great cities. The experiment was such a pro nounced success that last year ( 1895) the common council of Detroit appro priated $5,000 to aid in the work, which enabled the committee to accommodate j over 1,500 applicants for lots. Twelve i hundred and fifty-eight of those had been on the books of the city poor com mission. The crops harvested, according to tho report of the committee recently rendered to tho common council of De troit, was as follows, with prices which tho committee regard as a conservative estimate for the average price. Thirty thousand dollars is in the judgment of tho committee a fair estimate of the output: Potatoes, B heads at 3 cents 110 Squashes, 400, each 0 cents 30 Pumpkins, SUO, ouch 8 cunts 40 Total $27,792* •From report of committee rendered to the common council of Detroit Nov. 25, 1b95. Thus, w r e see, as a result of tho second year's experiment, with an appropria tion of §5,000, crops have been raised and successfully harvested by persons who would otherwise have been depend ent upon public charity amounting from about §27,792 to §30,000, or a profit of betwoen §20,000 and §25,000 over and above expenses, while, as has boen observed, tho financial aspect is in reality tho least important. The committee in their report ob sorvo that "no difficulty was experi enced in getting people to take lots, and it was even necessary for want of suffi cient land to refuse some who applied. It is an error to suppose that because people are poor and needy they refuse to help themselves where an opportunity offers. From tho experience of the com mittee such is seldom tho case." Another favorable result is found in tho fact that several of those who have successfully tilled the various lots have now secured small farms for market gardening and are commencing life anow with ronowed hope. Other cities have followed the Dotroit plan, hut space prevents me noticing any, save that conducted in New York during tho past year in a limited way by tho Society For tho Improvement of tho Condition of the Poor. Tho socioty se cured 300 acres of vacant lots in Long Island City, employed competent gar deners to instruct tho 80 families which tho funds of the society were enabled to accommodate, and as a result the follow ing crop was harvested, according to tho figures given in the New York World, from authentic sources: Potatoes, bushels.o,23s Cabbages, heads. .0,927 Beans, bushels... 1,200 Tomatoes, crates. 530 Peas, bushels 817 Corn, ears 1,200 Turnips, bushels.. 9UO Carrots, bushels.. 40 Tho valuo of the crop in dollars and cents was §4,000 more than tho outlay, but hero again tho benefits to tho indi vidual and the state were far greater than anymore dollar and cent computa tion. Ouo family alouo cleared over §4OO on tho tract allotted them and ! now propose to farm independently next | year. When tho season opened, the fam ily were §2OO in debt and nothing to hope for before them ; when tho crops were harvested, they had §2OO in tho bank. This case illustrates a fact of great importance for social reformers, as does this important and practical palli ative means to maintain and sustain self respecting manhood. B. O. FLOWER, Boston. NCMI3EII VII.—THE KIND OF LITERA TURE PEOPLE WANT. Too many writers seem not to bo aware of tho fact that people want clear, direct and definite discussions and statements of facts. Indeed good literature is very much liko a well dressed man whose clothes are at once so simple and becoming that you nevor notico how he is dressed. So the best literature is so simple and straightfor ward that it loses itself in the thought it contains. Good literature 13 also nonpartisan. Wo must have parties and partisans. Those aro always more or less useful. We have an able and progressive press that upholds the various party opinions of tho day, and this is well and good, but it does not follow that the literature of political papers must be partisan. To take a concrete illustration: Two pa pers, ono advocating free trade and the other protection, can deal with candor, fairness and directness in discussing the merits and demerits of their respective systems, and however they disagree they can always ho luminous and suave. Exaggeration is easy and cheap, and it is always easier physically to guess lat a fact than to verify it. But in the final adjustment of affairs tho facts stand supremo and determino the des tiny of issues and of men. It is a gen erally admitted fact that tho journalism that contributes to the solid progress of tho country is that which builds on sober ways and honest progress. In this way every journal becomes a power, a center of moral energy, whose iu flnonce is felt far and wide. This is tho kind of writing people want. Reading is usually done in tho quiet hours when men disapprove of rancor and narrow partisanship. Here it is that tho fair and manful spirit makes its successful appeal to all reasonable men, and this is the opportunity for him who has a message to deliver it with effect. J. W. C. —of the— Moment. Subjects in Which the Citizens of Freeland and Surroundings Are Interested at the Present Time. The prospects of Freeland people seo ing good base ball during the coming summer are pretty bright at present, and if the efforts of the Tigers Athletic Club in this direction meet with encour agement, the town will be represented this year on the diamond as it never has been before. Those having charge of the business on behalf of the club are exerting all means to establish the team on a linn basis in regard to playing ability, and in this direction they are meeting with much success. The ex perience obtained by the promoters of the game in the last two seasons, dur ing which they had dealings with clubs of all grades and had numerous oppor tunities to observe the characteristics of players and managers and the higher methods of conducting the business end of the game, lias given them a great im petus for their work this year. As the Tigers are not the kind of people who are content with past, nor even present achievements, their aims during the coming summer will undoubtedly be such as will result in placing base ball on a very satisfactory plane of efficiency. i t t One of the greatest difficulties which the club had to contend with last year was the lateness of scheduling games. This resulted ofttimcs through contracts being broken, which necessitated other clubs being engaged on short notice. It sometimes resulted, too, through the aggravating tactics of some professional managers, who, for no other purpose and with no other end in view than to ultimately compel the home manager to meet their prices, prolonged to the last moment before answering propositions. I'ndor these circum stances the Tigers were several times compelled to bring on inferior clubs, and to their credit it must be said that no one, even at the time, regretted their action more than themselves. None of these difficulties are likely to arise this j year, as the Tigers' reputation for I honest, liberal dealing and their ability to stand by any contract they enter into, is now pretty well known by minor professional men. X X t Manager Ed. F. llanion expects to start tlie season with a first-class club | of twelve or thirteen players, whom lie expects will be able to put up a good game. He intends to locate some now men in town, who will strengthen the j team in its most vulnerable parts. t t t The citizens of South Ileberton are ! anxiously awaiting developments by the Hoard of Trade. They were very jubi lant last week over some rumors floating around in regard to the final location oi the new silk mill. The rumor was started by some one saying that the ground selected for the mill next to the | electric light station was not large | enough for the proposed building. Im mediately on hearing it the South lleb j erton people began to view the vacant | acres surrounding them with deep con j corn, and started to size up their natural | advantages. They began to think oi railroad extension, and vividly pictured to their mind's eye the Jersey Central skimming along the old farm and Le high Valley trains connecting the coun :ty seat from its present branch below j Hirk heck street, at the same time con- I templating their vast territory thus ren dered useful for mercantile purposes, j They have about come to the conclusion [ that they stand as much chance of got j ting the silk mill as Freeland proper. X X X The Hoard of Trade will in all proba bility have a great volume of business to transact at its next meeting, and it would be in good order for every mem | ber of the organization to be present and assist in the dispatch of all matters j expeditiously. An organization finds it- I self spurred to its best efforts by the en thusiasm of the individuals composing it, and the presence of a member at ! meetings is the best evidence he can I give of his interest in the board's doings and his consideration for its ultimate ! welfare. The Freeland Hoard of Trade lis capable of a great work. The natural advantages of the town admit of honest and aggressive endeavor by an organi ; zation of this kind, witli every prospect !of future success. Tito official destinies ; of the present hoard are in competent ! hands, and they are deserving of all the assistance that can be given them for j the upbuilding of the town. t i t j The tendency of the progress of Free land to confine the business section to the lower end, which has been manifest ing itself during the past few years, was recently commented on by an old timer in town, who recalled the difficulty of choice in building in the early days. Since the advent of the electric railway, business blocks have received almost universal attention in the lower end. the new opera house and the Timony i building being the most conspicuous ex amples, while in tin; upper end and on j the Hill dwelling houses have been the | only structures to engage the builders* art. This condition of affairs is con- I trary to the expectations of many who saw tin? town's early development, when it was expected that tho mart of trade would be in tho upper end. j McDonald is closing out his big stock i of reliable shoes. 30 E.
