The Tax on Soft Coal.

The beauties of the soft coal tax, for
the protection of workmen, are to be
noted in the strike of 5000 river miners
at Pittsburgh, where the operators have
been paying the tax of 3 cents bushel
as wages. The people contributed the
bounty of cents, which leaves the op-
orators the coal free of labor. The OPP
orators now desire to receive part of
the bounty themselves, in addition to
the coal, and ask the men to mine the
stuff for q cents. The operators could
load and move 10000, 900 bushels at
present. but prefer to let their mines
stand idle and to see the miners starve.
The miners ought to starve if they vote
away their liberties and their incomes
to uphold the present system of protec-
ton to American labor. The employ
ers who draw the bounties are the
eagerest men in the world to import
foreign hands to break down unions, to
employ pretorian guards, and to cheat
the life for the people out of its most
humble and innocent joys Chicago

their gains will be very small in COM
parison. The Cleveland managers
laugh heartily at the story coming
from the Republican camp that the
Democrats have abandoned the State
to Harrison. They regard the Hoosier
State as more surely Democratic than
any of the sO-called doubtful States
The National Executive Committee
are enthusiastic in their approval of
the work being done by the Indiana
State Committee. The committee be-
gan its canvass early in the spring,
and tons of tariff literature have been
placed in the hands of the voters of
the State. Every school district has
been reached, and every doubtful
voter is known. The canvass has been
almost microscopic IL its minuteness,
and the party leaders know just what
they are talking about when they claim
the electoral vote of the State as
assured.-M Y. Cor. Chicago Herald.

1t moves like clock-work. 1t is evil
dent that it is under the direction of
men accustomed to the practical man
agement of business affairs on large
scale. Chairman Brice seems to be
familiar with all the details that are
brought under his notice, and he often
astonishes local politicians by his
knowledge of matters pertaining to
their social interests Every man
who visits headquarters finds it easy
to transact his business without circum-
locution or waste of time. Yet Chair
man Brice is constantly making new
arrangements to facilitate the great
work of the campaign and it looks as
though nothing that can be done to Sc
cure success would be left undone.
The organization OF the Democratic
party for the Presidential canvass o:
this year is excellent, and the party is
to be congratulated on the fact.-M T.
