"CASH OR CREDIT"

Judge Kelley OF PENNSYLVANIA

Judge Kelley OF Pennsyl,ania, the
Father Of the House" knows all about
tariff legislation, for be had a hand In
putting on the war taxes and promising
that they should be taken off when the
war was over He helped to pass the
following edlct Of his party platform In
1884;
THE Republican party pledges Itself
to correct re inequalities Of the tariff
and 10 reduce the surplus, not by the
vicious and undiscrlmipating process of
horizontal reduction, but by such methods
a. will relieve the taxpayer without in
1uring the laberer or the great productive
interests OF the country"
What has the war tariff cham ion done
since that pledge was taken,
Nothing.
He and bis party have fought the re-
duction Of the war taxes at every step
with bubbles and tricked up figures.
They have lodged every frank effort
to call them up TO their promises, and all
because they are the minions Of petted
monopoly.

GIVE RICHMOND A BOOM.

The electric cars have made great
success for the capitalists who undertook
the venture. but the real success Is the
good TO the city of Richmond. The at
ten'ion of the whole world has been
drawn to the point where the greatest
enterprise in electric railway transit was
undertaken; and the fact that il has been
made success will achieve for Rich
mond a great thing In showing Northern
capitalists our advantages.
When this enterprise was first started
our editor took the trouble TO investigate
It thoroughly, and from the first invoked
the support OF our people, while Others
we're trying to run It down, and we now
have the satisfaction Of knowing that the
TIMES was right IN standing by the
enterprise. The Northern men who
came here to establish the Electric Rail-
way are the sort Of men that the South
wants, and the success OF their venture
will encourage others to undertake other
schemes.
The political reconciliation Of the sec
tons and the complete mercantile con-
neclions between the North and South
will be followed by immense results In
investments here OF Northern capital.
The old order Of things put the Southern
States under the rule of purely agricul-
tural interest, and the people have not
yet awakened to the probabilities Of the
country under the mercantile civilization
which made the North so prosperous.
All the favorable circumstances that
made great cities and rich communities
in the Northern States are ours. The
transportation is better, and the relative
location better; the climate and the soil
are better, and the relations between
labor and capital are mmeasurably better
as promising peace and quiet.
Now, the only difficulty in the way OF
great era Of prosperity for Virginia is
the jaundiced encouragement that GER
tain class Of the people insist on nursing
somewhat as the old fogy on the Potomac
river every September determines 10 have
fever just from force of habit and is
disappointed if it does moi come The
chronic malaria brings partial paralysis
that actually becomes pleasant and that
is the way our Virginians manage their
politics and business
Let us throw of the old fogy habit
Of malaria and give Richmond what is
technically "boom."

The reply of the Reading company TO
the strikers is severe; but It Is the logical
result of an organized effort to break up
railway company because the company
did not choose TO violate the law and
refuse to carry coal to only the people
that the Knights of Labor wanted TO
have coal. The company positively de.
clnes to employ any of the men who
attempted that.
OF course this same thing will happen
to all strikers who make themselves the
slaves of mere personal idea put for
ward by men who want TO live by agita-
ton If working men want TO strike
because their wages are not good enough,
so well and so good. They have per-
feet right to do it, But the consequence
Of trying 10 force employers 10 obey the
personal ideas of Powdorly must be dis
astrous
The Knights of Labor have not OBJ
served this important fact, viz. That
they are in a very great minority, and
that they are acting in a very silly and
short-sigbted way The American people
would not stand from the Government
one hundredth part of the tyranny that
this secret order propoaes, and what
earthly chance can the order stand when
it insults the masses Of the people with
its foolish assumption or powers
The working men ought 10 confino
their operations 10 the unions and settle
local questions with local authorities
Public opinion ia the safest guide, and II
will generally decide the right or the
wrong of a strike as sensibly as it decides
an election or anything else

show the way the wind blows. Tho
Evening Telegraph, one Of the ablest Re-
publican Journals Of Philadelphia, and
one Of the most consistent and earnest OF

reduction.

aggressive Republican and protection
journal, reminds Republicans in Congress
that 1.-The people are thinking" on the
