Monopoly Storas

LEHioHroN, Pa, July 10th, 1884.
To the Editor Of the ADvooArs:- The
NJ. C. Daily Times in its issue Of to-day
contains the following article, which
think is of interest to workingmen every
where, for that reason call your attention
TO IL:
The extensive collieries of G. NJ. Markle,
at Jcddo, near Highlands, in the Hazleton
coal region, have been idle for some days,
owing to a strike of the miners and labor
ers. Over 1000 laborers have quit work
and this has necessarily thrown a large
lumber Of boys and other hands out of
work. The flirulty arose from an nttempt
on the part Of the employers to force the men
to sign a receipts for their pay, less the
amount Of the bills contracted at the COM
pany's stores. Messrs. Markle & Co. have
very large stores in the neighborhood of the
mines, where their employees obtain all
their supplies. Heretofore the amount Of
their bills has merely been deducted from
their monthly pay and no receipts asked,
but when the men appeared tor their pay
last week they were asked to sign receipt
or waiver for the full wages due them, the
amount Of their bills having been deducted.
A few Of the men, not realizing what This
meant, did sign, but, after consultation,
entered a protest, whereupon the Others
refused to sign or accede to the compaHy's
proposition. On demanding their pay they
were told they would not be paid unless
they signed, and on this they Immediately
quit work. This action on the part ol
Markle & Co. is looked on with grave sus-
picion, and 1t is but preliminary to similar
action on the part of all the operators in
this region.
The laborers have sent out notices tC
miners all over the district, asking them tC
turn out ii an similar attempt is made by
other operators. The men claim this action
is in direct violation of the act of 1881, and
that it will give their employers almost
unlimited power over their wages. They
are determined not to return to work or
such conditions, aud are supported by the
miners of the whole coal field.
This clearly portrays one of the "means'
and "agences" which capitalists mploy tc
oppress the poor, and Markle & Co., are
fairly entitled to first money for unmaskeC
boldnoss.
1t would seem as il they firmly held t
the doctrine "Hat a labo,inq man has NJ
"rights tohich they are bound to respect" Ye
venture to say that in their politica
creed they advocate protection and higl
tariff, as blind, to mislead their work
men. In addition to this sort Of tariff pro
lection they may possibly contemplate th,
importation of Chinese and Hungarian
labor.
Iftbe people do not elect Representative
to the next Legislature who will correct thi
outrage it will be their own fault, becaus
tho State Legislature has the power 10 pr"
vide remedy to elIectually cure this com
pany store business, and the common peo
pie have the votes to eject such an AS
sembly. Yours truly, &c,

Before the formation of the funeral process
sion the choir Of Christ Lutheran church,
who were in attendance, sang several
beautiful selections, after which the funeral
formed in line, headed by a delegation Of
knights Of Iiunor numbering about forty.
Of which the older Hassell was member.
The funeral then proceeded TO the Lutheran
church, when brief and impressiye SER
mon was delivered by the Rev. mir. Frey
man who spoke in eulogistic terms Of the
deceased as always being good christia ms
whose lives we all might be guided by

In a field trial recently held
It Moarestown, N. j., of
Harvesting Machinery, the
ollowing, all of which were
binders, took part: The Buck.
,ye, Champion, Excelsior,
'ohnston. Esterly, Deering,
Osb b orpe, va ter A.
Wo ID and the Hubbard Sep
ara,e Cleaner and Binder.
The universal verdict of all
present was that the Hubbard
was the "boss" of the field,
Iollowing as it did after a self
rake-reaper and picking up
The green rye from the ground
without leaving any on the
ground. None of the others
getting along very well, some
getting stuck, while others did
not cut a full swath.
The Hubbard can be seen
here and a limited number
only will be sold, as the facili-
ties of the manufacturers are
inadequate to supply the
demand.
She is a beauty and don't
you forget it.

maddilon, the dulcimeT and other queer
tools Of sound from Siam, tho Malay Pc
ninsula and from the Pacific islands. In /
this museum are the Washington relics
which now, by the purchase of the Lewis |
relics, have become delightful reminder
OF tho home life of toe General. His old
blue china happens to be just in the rage.
His buckskin clothes, his surveying insiru-
ments and writing utensils, bring him be-
fore US ss old clothes only can when the
spirit and the mould hsye fed.
Secretary Folger occupies a queer position
for a man who was so long on the Bench Of
Now York, which is considered about AL
bany 10 compare with the Supreme Court Of
the United States. Though no is at the
head Of the Treasury Department. he seems
TO be there somewhat like an opossum or a
raceoon, which had found the building
empty, gone in and got domesticated, and
there seems no way to get him out lie
did not exactly go in because he desired
to do so, but was inyited in, or at least
the door was left open for him, and SO, as
he secs no better place to live, he continues
there, the President being too indolent to
attempt TO quarrel With him, and the New
York short boys who want his perquisites
scowl at him afar off, because he was once
Judge and might sentence some Of them
IL they came too near. One OF his conf
dental clerks told me to-day that the sec
retary has a peculiar weakness for being
photographed. Whether it is vanity or moi
1 wouldn't like to say, but can safely say
that since he has been Secretary of the
Treasury he has had more photographs o
himself taken by the Government photo
grapher than any Secretary who has ofIicl
ated here in my tint, and have been here
over fifteen years.
He sends lots Of them away by mai
weekly, attaching his autograph. That il
an old custom, but in his case ii appears tc
me that be is bulling the market and fee
certain that the supply exceeds the demand
by large majority.
Midsummer is over and gone, both nom
inally and in reality. and with the excep
tion ol a few hot days and nights in Jun'
the weather has been that Of April or oc
tober. Society, however, which is regulated
more by the calendar than the thermomete
in &C cordance with the formers marking
has entirely deserted the city, and, betaker
itself to the county aud !he sea side, wher,
wrapped in overcoats and shawls, it ha
shivered in cold winds on plazzas and sa
before glowing fires in hotel and cottag,
} parlors during the past SIX days at least.

and he was unanimously chosen by 602

Of O different quality. The platform was

Ed. CARBON ADVOCATE There is q Ger

all classes Of young fellows congregaIe dur
ing the evenings and make themselves
exceedingly conspicuous by insulting pass
srs-by,more especially ladies and strangers,
whom some Of the most ignorant and
cheeky jaeknapes presume TO address; such
a nuisance should not, in a community
like Lehighton, DO tolerated. 1t is not only
a disgrace to the citizens Of the community,
but burning shame that the officials of the
borough should allow such state OF things.
We hsYe frequently overheard some Of the
vile remarks addressed TO various ones, and

hearing that they prefer crossing to the

H. V. MORTIMER s
For Assembly.

I hereby announce myself as a candi-
date for the nomination and election Of
a Democratic Representative for the next
Legislature. Whether elected or defeat
ed, shall continue to labor for the COM
plete overthrow of all monopolies and
the various means and agencies which
are continually employed to oppress the
poor, firmly believing that neither Ma
ture nor God ever designed that the poor
should be, as they now are, virtually, the
slaves of the Plutocracy-better known
as the MONEY POWER. Good wages
for fair days work, to be promptly paid
in cash, should be the law, and no Com
pany Stores, nor any other methods,
should be allowed to exist, to over-reach
the laborer.
Strongly believing that these are, a.
mong others, really the great and vital
things that are of practical Importance
to the masses of the people, and that they
must be radically corrected, sooner or
later. pledge myself, under all circum-
stances, to advocate them with an un-
yielding conviction, that it is for justice,
right and the good of humanity. And I
shall do it with energy and force.
