M JPMMMfPPi Ml V Owing to reasons best known to the proprietor
1%/T I I I " ■ fl I and manager of the Guarantee Clothing Com-
IV 1 1. I*. 1 iTll I pany, this popular firm has decided to discon
■Vß W Nr ■ IN I tinue business in Freeland, and the entire stock,
Consisting of Men's, Boys' and Children's Clothing, Hats, Caps and Gents' Furnishings,
lias been bought by
REFOWICH BROS.,
who will continue the business at the same stand in the Refowich Building. Mr. I. Refowicli who so ably conducted this
clothing store here for so many years until a few years ago, will again take charge of the establishment and will once more
givo the people of Freeland and surrounding towns as large and fine an assortment of clothing to select from as can be had
anywhere, fie will have all goods manufactured at Freeland, and again you will be able to buy Refowich's Home-Made
Clothing, .which the public well knows will outwear and outlast any other make of clothing sold in the market In order to
make room for the immense stock which will immediately be manufactured on the premises, Refowich Bros have decided to
sell out the entire line carried by the Guaranteo Clothing Company at- less than 42 cents on the dollar. The 'Guarantee DeoDle
did not wish to remove this tremendous stock to the city and sold it to us at less than the cost of material hence we can offer
it to you at prices far below the ordinary rate. Remember this was to be the first fall season of the Guarantee Company in our
town, so the stock is strictly new, made up in the latest styles, having been prepared for this season's trade. The cloth is of
the finer grades and every garment contains the best workmanship. This purchase also included a large and very well assort
ed line of fine piece goods for overcoats, suits and trousers, many of them being imported goods.

FREELAND, PA., OCTOBER 13, 1808.
Labor and the Machine.
Labor stands pleading at the doors
of the legislature, each succeeding
session, for relief from its thousand and
one ills. It asks that the so-called labor
laws heretofore enacted and that have
proved to be unconstitutional, impractic
able or worse than the laws they super
seded, be taken up and so amended as
to give them force and effect for good
purposes.
It pleads that the measures it presents
shall not bo handed over to machine
mado committees in the senate and
house, to be either throttled therein, or
to have all the life and spirit taken out
of them, so that they aro not, as passed,
worth to labor the paper on which they
are written. It pleads that committees
shall be no longer mado up to suit the
monopolies of the state, to recommend
bills the monopolies want and negative
those to which the monopolies objoct,
and generally to exploit the monopolies
for money to run the machines cam
paigns.
It asks no special favors, but wants
the right to live and mako a living by
honest and fairly paid work, and that
the leaders in the lawmaking shall
give some heed to the fact that when
labor is not prospering, the state can
not prosper. The producer is also tho
consumer, and when his ability to buy
is cut off by selllsh monopolies, created
and fostered by machine legislatures
and executives, all classos must suffer.
It pleads that when departments and
buroaus aro created ostensibly for its
bonollts they shall be officered by clean
and capable men who will do their duty
faithfully and fearlessly and not, as too
often happen, to the machine heelers
who recognizo no allegianco but to the
machine.
Finally, it pleads, for a governor like
Jenks, who has not and never had con
nections with monopolies of any kind,
who has never, though a great lawyer,
served any form of corporation, who is a
plain man, in fully sympathy with the
plain peoplo, utterly untrammeled and
prepared for anything that will uplilt
the people and progress the state.
With such a man as the chief execi -
tive and a legislature against the mr
chlne, labor's ploa will be heeded and
its causes for complaint will disappear.
WHAT ITJDOSTS
To Run tlio State Department Under
QuaylHin an Compared With the
Cost Under Democratic
Mnuairemeut.
Here are some figures showing the
cost of certain branches of the state
government under the appropriation
acts of 1883 and 1897 respectively, th
former having been the nearest ap
proach to a Democratic year the state
has had since the war:
Executive offices $517,006 $1,513,971
Legislative expense .. 541,111 724,82S
Judicial expenses 967,000 1,342,682
Printing and binding. 605,863 1,130,984
$2,630,980 $4,722,465
These figures need little explanation.
They show that in fourteen years, un
der the unbroken direction of Republi
can lawmakers, executive departments
have been multiplied, salaries increased,
new and useless deputies and clerks
employed and contingent funds padded,
until from a half a million, our execu
tive expenses have swelled to a mil
lion and a half for each two years.
They show that while the number
of senators and members and the al
lowances for mileage, stationery and
postage are the same as in 1883, by in
creasing the already large enough force
of clerks and other employes, by add
ing enormously to contingent expense
to fee party favorites, by awarding
pay for regular committee services, by
creating whitewashing and fraudulent
Investigating committees (whose per
quisites were not vetoed), by piling
up the cost of contested elections, etc.,
they have swelled the charge upon the
people for holding a legislative session
about $200,000, or over 35 per cent.
They show that the expenditure for
printing and binding the often worse
than useless state publications has al
most doubled since 1883, although the
actual cost of doing that kind of work
has been very materially reduced in
the interval.
They show that even the bench has
been made to contribute to the imposi
tion largely by laws that multiply the
number of judges beyond all reason
and then making statutes that enable
some of them to add almost 50 per cent
to their legal salaries by holding court
in other districts in years when, in or
der to keep up with the trial lists, they
must have other judges come and hold
cc-urt In their own districts.
They show, in brief, that under Re
publican rule, the system is rotten
from core to rind, and that there is but
one chance for real reform, which lies
In electing a Democratic executive ad
i ministration and a Democratic legisla
ture.
