Protection nor will the people be mis-
led bv an appeal to the prejudice con-
tanned in the absurd allegation that we
have the interests of Europe in view
while they will support the interests OF
America.
THE FREE WHISKY FALLACY.
They propose in their platform to
support the interests of our country by
removing the revenue tax on TOBACCO,
and from spirits used in the arts and for
mechanical purposes. They. declare also
that there should be such a revision OF
our tariff law as shall tend to check the
importation of such articles as are pro-
duced here. Thus in proposing to
increase the duties upon such articles
to nearly or quite the prohibitory point;
they confess themselves willing to travei
b backward in the road of civilization and
to deprive our people OF markets Tor
their goods, which can only be gained
and kept semblance at least OF an in
terchange of business, while they aban,
don our consumers to the unrestralned
oppression of domestic trusts and COM
binations, which are in the same plat
form perfunctorily condemned. Ihey
propose further to release entirely IRON
import duty all articles of foreign pro-
duction, except luxuries which cannot be
produced in this country. The plain
people of the land, and the poor who
scarcely use articles of any de,
scription produced exclusively abroad
and not already free, will find
it difficult to discover where
their interests are regarded in this pro
position. They need in their homes
cheaper domestic necessaries, and this
seems to be entirely unprovided for IL
this proposed scheme to serve tht
i country. A small compensation for tbl
neglected need is found in the furthe

the great surplus of public money upon
the Judgment of individuals. While
such efforts should be made as are con-
sistent with public duty and sanctioned
by sound Judgment, to avoid danger, by
useful disposition of the surplus now
remaining in the Treasury, it is evident
that if its distribution were accom-
plished, accumulation would soon
take it's place if the con-
slant flow of redundant in
come was not checked at it's source by a
reform in our present tariff laws. We do
not propose to deal with these conditions
by merely attempting to satisfy the peo-
pie of the truth of abstract theories, nor
by alone urging their assent to a political
doctrine. We present to them the pro-
position that they are unjustly treated in
| the extent of the present Federal taxa
ton; that as result of this, a condition
OF extreme danger exists, and that it is
for them to demand the remedy, and
that defense and safety promised in the
guarantees of their free government.
| THE OBJECT OF TARIFF REDUCTION.
We believe the same means which arc
adopted to relieve the Treasury OF itf
present surplus and prevent its recur'
renee, should cheaper to our people the
cost Of supplying their daily wants. Bott
of these objects we seek in part to gair
by reducing the present tariff rates upor
the necessaries Of life. We fully appreci
ate the Importance to the country OF oul
domestic industrial enterprises. In thu
rectifcation of the existing wrongs, theil
maintenance and propriety should bt
carefully and in friendly spirit con
sidered; even reliance upon such presen
revenue arrangements as have beeI

THE STRIKE ON THE READING sYsRsM
has assumed a somewhat serious aspect by
virtue of the deliberate breaking of con-
tract by the miners in the Schuylkill re-
gion. The strike on the Reading system
was stupendous plunder, irrepairable in
its nature, and its final effect will be Gemor-
alizing to the organization of the Knights
of Labor. The Lehigh coal miners in their
strike against the coal barons' dominant
power had the sympathy of an entire peo-
pie, but it cannot be expected that the
public will longer tolerate, aid or be in
sympathy either with men or an organiza-
tion who Unfortunately make demands
on corporations, demands which by virtue
of common business interests must be re-
fused. The workirgmen had no real OF
substantial cause to strike on the Reading
system; they were receiving high rate OF
wages and fair treatment, why then thi,
strikeP Simply because the Reading Com.
pany shipped freight over an elevated road
that did not employ union labor. Is this
legitimatea fair-minded and conservative
men will certainly say no. Why then this
causeless strike, if it was not to participate
into yexatlous difficulties and much un
necessary suffering the workingmen who
were receiving satisfactory wagesp Tit
dominant power of reckless leaders, tn,
desire for notoriety may probably explain
this, certain it is that the employees of tn,
Reading system had no legitimate cause t.
strike, and in the absence of this how cal
! they expect to be successful?

THE REDUCTION AND PREVENTION OF
the accumulation of an unwise surplus is
still the all-absorbing question with leading
statesmen and party journals. Many of
the latter, through party prejudices, still
maintaining that fair, impartial reduction
Of the old war rates means destruction to
our American wage system. The incon-
sistensy of this claim is made evident by
the fact that under the present high tariff
rates we have experienced number OF
pGnics of unusual severity, notably among
them being the panic Of 1878, when the
financial crash Of Cook & Co., of Chicago,
paralyzed trade throughout the entire
country and plunged the business interests
into vortex of complications from which
they emerged with the greatest difficulty.
The accumulation of millions of dollars
every year, for which there is no output
must sooner or later show its effect by a
stagnation of the business interests; the
way to prevent this is to reduce the surplus
by reduction Of the tariff and fair con
alteration of the internal revenue.

Hoah's Ark lay in ruins at my feet; it
was not enough that the animals were fear
fully demoralized, but Noah himself had
evidently been ashore and had looked upon
the wine which is red Jumbo cut very
disreputable figure minus one leg and his
trunk, while the king of beasts without a
tail and one eye knocked cut looked any
thing but royal, and as ii he had been on a
Christmas spree. On the right of my desk
are the ruins of train of cars; the loeomo-
tive has lost its smoke-stalk and COW
catcher, the passenger cars have evidently
passed through a cyclone, for on the inside
was no sign of life, the passengers having
all disappeared in the general ruin. The
bass drum that gave notice to all the neigh
borhood that Santa Claus had been around
has hole in the top big enough for re-
spectacle window, and the winding horn
that announced to the household the open
ing of Christmas morning is silent and
broken; its terrible voice will no more
awaken the echoes. We laugh and moral
ize on these childrens' holiday ruins, but
how much better haYe we older heads

THERE CAN BE NO DENYING THE FACT,

THERE CAN BE NO DENYING THE FACT,
that In complete and thorough organiEa-
tion there Is strength. We have had many
evidences Of this in the past, and none
more thoroughly convincing than the re-
suit Of the late civil war when the rebels
were repulssd, eventually subdued and the
Union preserved. In the laborsrs' fight
against capital and monopoly, thorough or
gRnization is just as necessary as 1t was in
the above case, the demand for leaders,
able, conservative, fearless and determined,
just as great, for this is war that affects
a common humanity and not only certain
portion of our people. In the reckless and
irresponsible men who control, to so great
an extent, the organizations of labor, Is
due much of the present prejudical discord
which disrupts the condition of trade and
makes the rate of wages specifically un-
certain. This will not be contradicled,
events of recent dates conclusiYely sub
stantiate our statements; for instance in
the great Southwestern strike Of little
more than two years ago, Master Work
man Irons, of Chicago, contrary to the ad-
vice Of Mr.. Powderly, ordered out the men
along the whole line, and what was the re-
sults Complete failure, loss and great suf-
fering to the men and their families; again
in the great Perth Amboy strike of yeal
ago, thousands of men stopped work upon
the ADVICE of Master Workman Quinn, oi
New York, and after weeks of idleness re
sumed work at the same old figures. Ii
the meantime coal advanced to double itI
former price, and who suffered? ThC
poor, for the rich had filled their bins lonl
before when coal was cheap. The pro
tracted ldleness consequent TO the strik'
had Its evil effects mostly amongst thu
poorer classes-the rich could stand 1t fo
they had plenty. This is the history o
two strikes, both comparatively failures
and it fully shows how more than foolisl

that the safest and best plan to abridge la
Dor difficulties is by arbitration. Thi
method compels no vast outlay of money
no suffering or idlenesS, and If logically an
philoscphically debated upon is usual
successful. We believe that the majorit
of Knights of Labor will fully agree wit
us when we say that the strike is usual
an unsuccessful means of securing the dc
mands asked for, and that the plan of arb
tration is the most logical and practices
method that can be suggested. Under th
latter plan there would be no paralyzatio

PARTISAN NEWSPAPERS WILL PLAY

A delightful Christmas celebration was
that Of Miss Huntington's Kitchen Garden
School, which is one OF the worthlest mis-
sions in city. There little girls are taught
all the arts of sklllful and cleanly house
keeping and cooking, not to thrum on
pianos or paint poor pictures, OF embroider
worthless scarfs, but an education, that
will make them good wives and mothers,
and make their homes happy. They cook
all their own meals, they make beds, they
sweep, sew, mend, patch, alter their own
dresses, and do everything that woman
would have to do in her own house. The
children are the happiest and most con-
tented to be found anywhere. 1t is the
holiday; theirs is indeed a merry Christ
mas.
But as the echoes of the Christmas chimes
die on the listening ear, and the JOYOUS
greeting of ''Happy New Year. rises from
millions of joyous hearts-a cloud, at first
no bigger than mans hand, Is seen in
the distant sky, which portends tempest,
whose ultimate disaster God alone can tell.
The strike of thousands of men In the
coal fields, means suffering untold in thi:

The rich at whom the blow is aimed will b.

as of old; their homes will be happy ant
comfortable; their stocks will increase il
value,-but the homes of the strikers will
be desolate and cold; suffering will clamo
at the door, and starvation climb in at tn,
window. The terrible lesson of year agt
seems to be lost upon these madmen. Th,
endeaYor to fix the union yoke upon tn
neck of labor brought ruin then and will
