OUR CORRESPONDENCE.
n PERTINENT INQUIRY.


Mr.. Editor Having lively APP,
probation of your interest in the
affairs Of this county, | am led to ad-
dress a few words to you concerning
the late municipal election in Gum
berland. + eli. ..,,.
Fair play" is an old Saxon
proverb and its significance is cock
tensive with human, veal all over
the world. Newspapers ouhgt to be-
and are expected to be, the guardians
of libsrty-always on the watch tow
ers--ever ready to signal the first
sign of danger. This proposition is
never questioned, even by the most
timid and cringing editor.
This being true, why is it that the
Cumberland papers ignore in toto the
desperate, dangerous and uncalled
for interference of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad company with the cleo
ton in Cumberland? 1t is common
talk, and susceptible of proof, that
employees of the B. g. o. were intim-
idated and compelled to vote against
their wishes. They were instructed
to "cut" Mr.. Millholland and Mr..
Brace, coupled with the remark that
they didn't their names would be
handed over to the proper official for
discharge.
1t would be unfair to PREJUDICE the
reporters Of the Cumberland papers
They doubtless lost their balapce in
the turmoil ofthe election, and didn't
hear common talk on the streets.
How strangely things are estimated Z
If poor devil steals pair Of pants,
arrest him; send him to the peniteni-
tiary for two years, but if the Balti
more and Ohio railroad steals the
God-given liberties of hundreds Of
people, the newspapers never hear it..
Oh how good and how pleasant it
is to dwell so as not to offend the
mighty. OBSERVER.

cause that is what it means. Can
you think that all this dark work is
going on for our benefit Have they
ever loved us one cents worth over
the amount of their orders to collect?
They are working for themselves and
at our expense. G-lb.
A man in Frostburg said there was
no company stores in this region.
Why2 Because thereis a law against
ia law as strict as the Current
Money Act" 1t is twelveyears old,
and no company has dared to violate
it, except to allow their agents to do
it, which is much worse. Nobody
ever eaid that was a badrlawo What
is the difference2 That law intended
and does prevent companies from
having interest in stores; this law,
to clinch the matter, says the men
must be paid in money. 1t is illegal
for companies to sell goods, and has
been for twelve years, but the COM
panies' agents and tenants want to
make us believe that it is illegal to
make the companies pay in money.
How is this !? The law of 1868 says
mo, you mustn't pay in goods, and
the agents opinion Of the law Of 1880
ID that you have no right to compel
us to pay in money. According to
the law and according to the agents
we have no right to goods or money.
Amt the agents, landlords and ten
ants m.staken2 If the law of '68
was good enough to be respected it is
good enough to be efectusl every
other way. 1t says companies must
not sell goods. What does that
mean? Several things. One, that
foreign companies should NOT take
trade away from citizens of Aliegany
county; another that goods is not
equal to money for pay Of wages.
The "old boy was whipped around
the stump" and a worse system
brought in, which by omission, al
lows agents and others TODD what the
companies can't do. That law all the
way through intends to prevent pay
ment of wages in goods. Now, if it
Is not legal or right for companies to
do this, will not some very wise man
chow me through your paper how it
is legal or right for a Company's
agents or tenants to do it2 Is there
some sauce for the geese and none for
the gandersP y y FAIR Show.

COMPANY STORES" AND THE
"CURRENT MONEY ACT"

Mr.. Editor Strange things are
takilg place. I spoke last week Of
the report that case had been
trumpet up to try the law, to take
place at Hagerstown this month. I
want to tell my fellow-workingmen
that sly tricks are going on. I hear
that the plaintiffs have lawyers en- :
gagged and the landlord "a company ;
last week | thought it was an individ-
uaD have a lawyer engaged, each
their regular attorneys. I never had
much respect for lawyers anyway
now l have less. Let's see-if ten
ants and landlords can come to terms
so agreeable, I would suppose that
landlords could hire their lawyers to
submit the case without argument"
or something, to that effect. If he
wouldn't do that he could be hired to
kill the law with damned praise be-
cause he ought to do his level best to
do as little as he can.
The case stands this way: Ten
ants sued their landlords, and agreed
to stink off to Hagerstown, Gin CO.
hoot," lawyers and all. The job is
well put up; no doubt about that.
They have got both ends of the string,
and the string is in Hagerstown. An
old SOW once keE t getting into corn
field through good fence, and the
farmer couldn't understand for long
time where she got in. He caught
her at last creeping through big
hollow log that the fence crossed.
He took the fence down and laid the
log straightwise under a corner Of
the worn, and the SOW found her
self after that on the same side (out-
eide) that she went in at. So it will
be at Hagelstown. Landlords, ten
ants and lawyers, will all go in and
come out on the same side. For the
tenants are interested in keeping the
monopoly, and the landlords are in.
terested in the big rent which the ten
ants are willing to ray. There was
never two sides to a lawsuit before
where the defendant was so anxious
to be beat. The worse he is routed
"horse foot and dragons" the better
he will like it.
/ Working people, cant you see
through this thing? Cant you see
that this is a scramble to handle your
money as they please and not as you
please? Cant you see that you are
the geese that are to be picked wheth-
er you will or not? and that, as sheep,
you are to be kept dumb before your
shearers If the Hagsrstown court
decides the law not good, then l say
farewell to all efforts for our good,
in the future, and let us come out and
say we have no rights to use our
earnings, only to keepup the few who
have the mastership over Us. Be-
