Mr.. B. Hinsdell, a Union Labor

evil and hope it will keep it there till the resur-

Ed. HERALD: VIII you please define the words

VIII permit NJ. d. PUTNAM.
The word trusts has recently
been adopted by incorporate associa-
tiOns or companies formed to prose
cute some particular line Of business.
To illustrate: A certain number of
men form a company to operate in
buying and shipping cattle, or pur-
chasing lard, or sugar, or any other
commodity They may properly so
associate themselves together but
within few years many of these
combinations have enriched them
selves and robbed the public by "cor-
nering the market To illustrate:
The oil trust quietly bought up all
the oil wells, and all the machinery
necessary to operate them, and then
advanced the price of oil. If a pri-
vate party refuses to sell his oil well.
or develOpes a new one, they buy him
off or run the price down so low that
he is squeezed out. The envelope
trust" purchased every mandatory
in the United States and then raised
the price fifty per cent. 1t is so in
scores Of other cases. "Conering
the market" is controlling the mar
ket, and that is done as we have men
toned and in many other unfair, dis
honest sharp ways. The Boards of
Trade Of large cities like Liverpool,
New York and Chicago are practical
ly gambling machines which raise
and lower the price Of wheat and
other neccessaries of life that they
may win bets and fleece the producer
These combinations should be sup
pressed by law.

has been the cause of every great

The Phillipsburg Democrat keeps
talking about the Republican party
being for ''Free Whiskey." Some
men when they have no argument,
$50 it strong on bluff" Now the
facts are that the Republican plat
form declares for the reducing of the
internal revenue tax only on spirits
used in the arts and for mechanical
and medicinal purposes. It also de
clares in favor of temperance and the
sObriety of the people. This being
so, and it being also true that the
Democratic party everywhere is the
favOrite party Of the saloon, what but
the most adamantine cheek prompts
the Phillipsburg Democrat to cry that
the Republicans are for Gree whis-
key" The Republicans have enacted
every prOhibitory law in the Union;
Republicans have done about all that
has ever been accomplished for the
temperance cause and are now every
where putting forth the most persist
ent efforts to further the temperance
cause. On the other hand the Demo
Gratis in all their state conventions
declare against sumptuary laws and
are the subservient tools of the sa-
loon. This everybody knows and the
Democrat knows it too. If our
neighbOr thinks he will strengthen
his reputation as a truth-telIer by as
serting and re-asserting that the Re
pubIicans are for free whiskey, let
him keep on saying so.

In another place we copy a portion
of the communication of Mr. Kinds
dale, of Logan, against fusion. It
seems that the Union Labor National
Convention resolved strongly against
fusion-especially with the Demo
Gratis as they have never fulfilled
promises made, and since Cleveland
was elected, trusts, pools, monopolies
and rascality generally have fattened
while the farmers interests have Ian
guished The Democratic party is
not the friend of the laboring man.
Why the idea Of a party that former
ly bought and sold laboring men as it
did animals being the friend of the
tOilers, is preposterOus. A fusion of
labOring men with the Democrats IS
a ridiculous an unhOly alliance.
Mr.. HindsdaIe's views are sound on
that subject.

personalities. The latter has been his init
mate friend for many years, and, so lar AS
he IL concerned these relations shall not be
disturbed during the canvass The cam.
paign in the Sixth District will be fought
ON the tariff issue alone, as that is the ques.
ton in which the people of that section are
most deeply interested. The campaign will
not DO formally opened until the Republ-
cans place their candidates regularly in
the field. Mr.. McComas will in all proba
bliity be again renominated, and the an
nouncement of his candidacy will be made
at the Republican ratification to be held in
Hagerstown next week. Mr.. Douglas thinks
the outlook for Democratic success In the
Sixth District is encouraging, and every
inch of ground will be contested with his
popular Republican opponent.

ONE RESULT or IT.

The policy of the Republican party is TO
restrict production by closing foreign mar
kets. 1t is manifest that if we curtail pro.
duction one-half, we lessen the demand for
labor one-half Or, putting the same truth
in another way, if in certain industry one
hundred thousand men are employed and
We restrict production one-half as the Re-
publican party proposes, only $4,000 men
will be required to do the work and the
other $4,000 will be out of employment.
Now what will result from this? If there
are two men seeking employment where
only one man can be employed there will
be an excess of labor supply to labor de-
mand and wages will fall. That is plain
proposition and the truth Of it is evident to
every workingman. When work is plenty
and workingmen relatively few wages are
high, but when there is but little WORK to
do and many men 10 do it wages will be
low, and whether the tariff is high or low,
or does not exist at all, the result will be
the same.
What, then, does the Republican party
propose? Why, in the first place, to restrict
markets. That is the primary purpose of its
tariff policy. We are to have nothing to do
with foreign markets. We are to shut our.
selves in with Chinese wall, selling to our
selves and buying from ourselves. Instead
of going into all the markets of the world
to sell our wares we are to sell only at home.
That is, we limit our market, and if we limit
our market we limit our production. What
follows? Necessarily that we we must limit
our labor also. One man will only be re-
quired to do work where there are tw2 pea
to do It, One man will go without work
while the other, because there is also an
idle man too ready to take his place, will
have to work for low wages.
These are plain truths, and working
man don't need to be great economist to
understand and appreciate them. They
come within his every day experience He
can follow out the reasoning clearly to its
logical conclusion, which il: : That the tariff
policy Of the Republican party will cause
low wages and affect the interests of work.
