We understand that there has been
falling off of $13, 900 in the taxable value
of property in the Second Ward of this
city. This is owing mainly to a deduc-
ton of $500 each allowed to persons who
were in the service of the State of New
Jersey during the secession invasion of
Pennsylvania, decision having been
made by the Adjutant General of the
State that those men are within the law
allowing a deduction of $500 to honorably
discharged soldiers. There has also been
a deduction of four in The number of
taxable dogs in theWard. There are large
number Of soldiers who are exempt from
poll tax, and firemen who are exempt to
the amount of $500. Altogether, these
exemptions make large deduction from

DESTRUCTION OF IRISH INDUSTRIES.

1.-The conveniency of ports and harbors
which nature bestowed so literally on this
kingdom" wrote Swift fifty years before
the time of the Irish volunteers, sis of no
more use to us than beautiful prospect to
man shut up in a dungeon" 1t was
hardly an overstrained comparison; Eng
land had labored to destroy the trade of
ireland, and with almost complete success.
Her first great blow was struck at the
Irish cattle trade. AS early as the reign
of Charles ii. English landowners took
alarm at the influx of Irish cattle; and
laws were passed by the English Parlia-
ment, forbidding Ireland to export to us
live stock of any kind, dead meat, and even
butter and cheese. Deprived of their nat
ural market in England, Irish breeders
turned .heir attention to the wooden man
ufacture. Three-fourths of the is and
became sheep walk, and its unequalled
pastures and the care bestowed in stocking
them, resulted in the production of an ex-
cellent quality of wool. English, Scotch,
and even foreign manufacturers were
attracted to the country capital was rapid
ly invested, and in few years the Irish
WOODEN industrys sgave employment to
thousands Of Galss. English manufac
turers began to tremble for their suprem-
acy and vehemently petitioned the English
Parliament to protect their interests.
Faithful to the maxim that colony eX-
lSGeu O11ly 1Ot TIE DenoHI OF bne ulOtlei
country, the houses lent ready ear to
complaints of injury done to English trade,
and in 1903 Parliament was summoned
at Dublin with the declared object of
destroying the Irish industry. The Lords
Justices in their opening speech Informed
the Irish people that England claimed the
manufacture OF woolens as her monopoly,
and was imperially pleased that the sister
island should cease from weaving them,
and turn her attention instead to linen and
hemp. The Irish Parliament reluctantly
agreed to lay heavy duties on the export
of woolens. Even this concession failed to
satisfy; and in 1909 England framed an
act prohibiting the export from Ireland of
wooden fabrics. The industry was ruined,
capital left the country, and multitudes of
the Protestant population followed it..
For many years there was drain of the
best blood, industrially speaking, of Pro-
testant Ireland; and 10000 or 10000 en-
igrants of that religion sometimes forsook
the country in year AS late as 1913,
1000 emigrants sailed in twelve months
from Belfast alone.-The National Review.

HEAR We! HEAR VEL!

We print this week a call for an indie
pendent Labor convention to be held at
Hartford, Monday, September 6. 1t is
called by the Hartford Council of the Con-
necticut Labor League, at the solicitation
of several Labor organizations of the State.
1t is intended to take action on the State
ticket alone, leaving the different localities
to regulate their own affairs in the choice
of legislative and other candidates, as to
them may seem judicious.
We expect to see magnificent gathering
of earnest, patriotic men. An Independent
Labor party is needed in the State, in order
to afford an opportunity for the discussion
and dissemination of those principles which
the other political parties either oppose or
ignore. In these principles the producing
classes must be educated before there can
be hope of obtaining any relief from pres
ent conditions. And to educate them their
instructors must not be handicapped by any
entangling alliances with other organiza-
tions whose aims and aspirations are gem
orally antagonistic.
This move enjoys the secret favor
of one of the so-called great parties, and
incurs the displeasure of the other. The
Republicans will like to see it because they
think that recruits to the Labor party will
come principally from the ranks of the old
Democracy; and the Democrats hate it for
the same reason. While it makes little
difference to the Reformer where the re-
crlits come from that makes up his party,
still there is one consideration which enters
into this canvass that ought not to be over
looked or ignored.
Nearly two years ago Labor convention
assembled in Hartford. 1t convened for
the purpose of selecting and presenting for
the consideration of the Governor suitable
names as candidates for the new Office of
Commissioner of the Labor Bureau, which
Mr. Harrison had admitted should be filed
by none other than one known to be in ac-
tive sympathy with the object for which

years ago, replied that he thought it
in some respects was worse. "The
struggle for life," he said ''is harder
now; it is more difficult to make a
living, and the destitution is more APP
palling, | think, than it has ever BEEN"
And Mr.. Spurgeon is undoubtedly
right, whether he extracted his know
ledge from "Poverty and Progress"
or ocular discernment. Yet what is
Mr.. Sturgeon, with all his great
powers for doing good in the world
actually doing to stem the tide of
poverty and misery bearing down on
humanity harder and harder as time
advances? Nothing but shooting his
arrows at objects above the clouds,
which he can see only in Imagination,
and drawing fat salary from these
mystic sentimentalists who watch him
fo- pastime, while "defrauding the
laborer of his wages" here below.

OVERDOZNG THE WORK.

THE New York Sun sent a special
correspondent to write up the con-
dition of the unsuccessful strikers on
the Gould Southwestern railroads. 1t
tells frightful tale of the misery and
suffering of the families of the men !;
all of whom the corporations refuse to
reemploy on any condition, laying all
the blame to the indiscreet actions of
the men in striking and the vicious
ness of the agitators who caused the
men to rebel against their employers.
1t concludes by saying that more than
d. 900 men who few weeks ago were
in the employ of the, company are
now homeless and destitute, while the
same number of other men who few
months ago were out of employment
have been installed in their places.
This correspondent evidently over
played his part. He should not have
referred TO the 1900 men out of EN-
ployment Who were never influenced
by "agitators," as that went to show
there was no change of conditions
occasioned by the strike; but merely
a change of individuals in suffering.
Here were 1900 men who had not
even been guilty of questioning the
absolute authority of Jay Gould, who
were in enforced idleness and suffer
ing the pangs of restitution and pow
erty so great they were obliged to
sacrifice their self-respect and man
hood by taking the places of others to
force them to the same condition.
Right here is the secret of the sue
cess of corporations in their fights
with workingmen and right here is
the weakness of the workingmen in
not removing this enforced army oil
idlers from their front and placing
them on the public lands, instead Of
as now lending votes to the politicians
who in turn sell them to the land
spectators, native and foreign, that
no public lands may be there to in
herit, unless by paying tribute for the
right to live, and the escape from
wage-slavery to financial and indus
trial bondage.

the office was created. There and then a
solemn obligation was taken by every dele
gate, that should the Governor ignore their
rightful claim in this appointment, they
would go back to their constituents i'm
pressed with the resolution that from hence
forth all would work on the basis of killing
an enemy wherever they found him, no
matter what else might be the result of their
actions.
We trust that the coming convention
will not forget this pledge of their brothers
before them, hard as it may be to turn
aside from deep convictions of a higher
duty. Yet not a jot of principle need be
sacrificed in so doing. What we mean is
this: The names of Gov. Harrison or Nor
G. Buckley may head the list on one tick
ct, both of whom are recorded opponents
of the demands of Labor. If these heads
appear they mast come off, if at the sacri-
flee of dropping the head of the Labor tick
ct, provided no recorded opponent heads
the other. Again, the name of George G..
Democratic; if so, that head must come off
too, under similar conditions. With Louns-
or Tibbetts or Cleveland We have nothing
to do, as those men are not on record
against us; and if we must place our trust
in any ''devil," it will be wiser to place it
in the devil We don't know, than in the
one we do. And this need not disturb the
provisions for an independent canvas
either, for the remainder of the ticket can
be held for that.
This plan will not only carry out the
pledge of our brothers, meant for revenge
and retaliation, but will neutralize the
influence of those who depend on the cry
of Ehelping the Republicans" to keep their
dupes in line; as it will also be whole
some admonition to the heartless or the
hypOcrite in future.
We suggest this for the earnest consider
atson of the patriotic men who are to as

Der 9th.

AGAINST THE BOYCOTT

THE June number of the Century
magazine has an article in its "Topics
of the Time" department, discussing
the boycott from the capitalistic, stand
point. 1t says, "the boycotter is the
intestine enemy of society and its
peace" So we're our fore-fathers
who boycotted the tea that Europe
wanted to sell them, with the differ
ence that they destroyed the goods
boycotted, while our modern boycott
tiers commit no such overt acts. 1t
adds, "The boycotter is analogous to
the first Napoleon who boycotted the
nations which refused to join him in
boycottfng his old enemy, England,
till the nations of Europe combined to
boycott him; and the analogy will be
complete when Capital organizes and
makes use of the boycott as organ
lied Labor is doing"
This writer seems entirely obllvlouS
to the fact tibet Capital inaugurated
the boycott set the example that
Labor has been slow to adopt, and
did it in self defence only when driven
to the wall. But it is the indirect
boycott that he especially denounces ;
that is, the effort to prevent others by
their patronage aiding the one boy
cotted, or boycotting those who do SO.
But this, by international law, at least,
is a legitimate mode of dealing with
an enemy, the preventing of other
peoples trading with him. During
our civil war the ports of the Confed-
eracy were declared in state of
blockade, thus interdicting the COM
merce of other nations with 1t. This
was, in one sense unjust to other
nations, but 1t was measure that
self-preservation compelled our Gov
eminent to adopt, the same as organ
lied Labor is forced to take against
the aggression of the employer. We
deplore the boycott and the inclden-
tai in Justice to which it may subject
innocent parties, but we more depre-
cate and deplore the industrial system
which breeds the tyranny against
which the boycott is the last resort ;
and we trust the evils of it will force
the people and the State 70 inaugurate
more equitable one.
We entirely coincide with this writer,
though from exactly the oppose point
of view, when he says, "The question
which is pressed upon the American
people is whether they will permit a
power to be exercised by Ole class Of
American citizens, which must de
prive others of their rights, or compe,
them to organize similarly in self
defence?" This is exactly what Capt.
tai has done, and the power it has
exercised for years.
