Wheeling Register: "The great
Pennsylvania coal monopoly chick
ems are at last coming home to
roost When those poor slaves, the
miners. asked for living wages they
Were refused. When they struck
to enforce their demand the coal
barons imported the worst and
most debased kind of foreign pau
per labor to take Their places. Now,
1t will be remembered that when
ever the tariff is touched these same
coal barons, with Pecksniffian love
for their workmen, cry out, "pro-
tect American labor from the pau
per labor of Europel' What a
farrell The men now begin to see
how the trick works. They begin
to see the onesidedness of the thing.
They begin to see that no matter
how high. the coal tariff is their
wages are invariably down to the
lowest notch, and when they can
not live at those wages, and strike,
why, the very pauper labor from
whom they are so bounteously 'prO-
tected'' is imported to take their.
places. Seeing all these things,
and after thinking It over, the men
have resolved to try to even up
matters bit. They see that they
are not protected and they don't see
especially why the coal barons
should be. Hence the striking
miners of the Reading coal combi-
nation passed resolutions to the
effect that as the company is i'm
porting immigrants to take the
PAGES they have been forced to va
cate and as ''the company is pro-
tected from foreign competition by
a protective tariff on coal, which
we have fondly believed for years
was intened to benefit Azaerican
labor" and as "we are citizens OF
this republic and believe the laws
should be impartial, and that no
laws should be enacted which con-
fer special benefits upon any class
of citizens therefore these
employees of the high-tariff protected
monopoly resolve "that in the COM
ing elections for Congressman we
shall support only those men
pledged to vote to repeal the tariff
OH coal"
There is a BRIGHTNESS about these
resolutions that will chill the barons
to their very marrow. And they
have only their own outrageous
greed and arrogance to blame for
it

The recent gathering of the Re
publican clans in club convention
at New York was chiefly notable
for the presence of millionaires,
lumber barons, iron kings and cor
poration lawyers, whose solo ambi-
ton is to reclaim the Government
for mercenary ends Tho organized
hypocrisy harranged the few audi
tors in attendance in vain attempt
to show how Republican protection
protected the poor. Ex-Governor
Alger, the millionaire lumber baron,
and many other men of wealth,
posed before the diamond studded
Republicans as living examples of
what a high tariff had done for them
at the expense of the suffering poor
whose labor has been unprotected
for years.-Fdirmont Inder.

A few weeks ago the Republicans
were abusing the Democrats for their
promised revision of the tariff and
reduction of the revenue. Now it is
stated that a prominent Republican
Congressman will introduce bill as
sweeping as any proposed by the
most rampant Democrat, and that
the Republicans will pass it in Or
der to deprive the Democracy of
the credit of reducing the taxes.
Are these Republicans really serious
about anything?

If the gentlemen who make up
the Democratic slate inscribe there
on the name of Hon. P. C. Eastman,
of Mason, for Governor, it will dem
onstrate their wisdom. Mr.. Easth-
am IS gentleman, for whom any
Democrat could and many Repub-
licans would cast his vote. He is a
good man and pure one Perhaps
too good a man to suit the taste of
political manipulators. But the
Democrats must select a man of
pure record if they expect to win
in the next fight. This is the plan
the enemy expect to pursue, and
good men must be run against good
men in order to succeed. Candi-
dates of pure records are what the
people expect and should demand.
