Here Is an item that we found I'm the columns

likely will not appear in t.:
READING, PA, June 3O.--CommencIng to.mor-
row number OF rolling mill firms In the schuyl-

from az to S3-25 per ton. Among these firms are
Potts Bros. and the Glasgow Iron Works ut
Pottstown, and firms at Lebanon, Pottsville and
other places.-tJournal, after months of agony.
The ARGUS never hesitates to
publish the truth, and that's what
gives the monopolistic Journal the
heaves. The ARGUS rejoices at the
advance of wages and would gladly
publish an advance of wages for all
laboringmen, if the monopolistic
organ will make good its promise of
plenty of work, good times and adj
vanced wages.
Now will the monopolistic organ
publish how the workingmen are
being protected (?) at Carnegie,
Phipps & Co.'S. numerous works ?
Will it publish the advance (?) in
wages to the laboringmen of Preston
county since the election of Harri-
son? Will it publish how hundreds
of deputy sheriffs and Pinkerton's
men, armed with Winchesters arc
protecting the works of Andrew
Carnegie and others because the
workingmen will not accept a re-
duction of wages Is 1T any wonder
the monopolistic organ grasps at
straw?

STARVING MINERS IN THE WEST.

CHICAGO, July 6.-There are no
less than %, 200 people in the min
ing district Of Braidwood and Coal
City who are dependent on charity.
The extreme poverty to which these
people are reduced is proved by an
incident which happened to-day. A
horse broke its leg and had to be
shot. The horse was dragged to the
side OF the road, and at night many
Of the starving families had horse
flesh for supper. 1t was the first
square meal that many Of them had
eaten in weeks, and they enjoyed it.
The cause Of all this poverty is the
tyranny Of the officials Of the Chi
cagO, Wilmington and Vermillion
Coal Company. The miners were
forced to strike by repeated reduc-
tons in their wages, and now many
families among them arc starving.

THE FARMERS HOME MARKETS.

viii the Journal publish the fol-
lowing article, which we clip from
the Fairmont Inder, showing the
benefits of Protection to farmers
and the home markets they sell their
grain in?
The Pittsburgh Post has been culling some
interesting items from the May report Of Score
tary Of the Navy Window. From the report IL
appears that during last month the farmers OF
this country sent out to Europe and the rest of
the world over three million and a half barrels
of -four, nearly three million bushels of wheat,
more than three million bushels of corn, and
other bread-stuffs such as barley, cornmeaI,
oats, rye. etc, the whole amount exported be-
Ing valued at s9.7G2sG4. The total quantity OF
brecdstuffs sent away from the United States in
the eleven months ending May 81, 1889. is valued
at Sii1. 0l5CO7. The farmer sells all this in mar
kets where he meets the competition of bread

LET EN- HOWL.

The Republican papers through
out the State are making howl
over the expenses of the contest for
the office of Governor. This howl
has started only since the investiga-
ting committee threw out the seven
ty odd votes in Brooke county, and
reduced COTS pretensions to very
small margin.
AS the contest goes on, and Judge
Fleming gets nearer to the place
whereunto he has been called by the
citizens of his State, the Gofites
begin to seesin tlre cost'of tho con-
test Il horrible waste of no oney. Well
we don't. Ii it is necessary to OBJ
tain a right termination of this
contest, to spend every cent in the
Treasury and mortgage the public
buildings, we say do it.
When the honor of State or the
rights of her people are involved,
vindication or redress cannot be
reckoned in dimes. The taxing
power of the Federal government
may twist and squeeze millions upon
millions of dollars of unneeded
revenue out of the people it may
as an implement used by class, be
exerted to filch from the tailor a
quarter or half of his earnings it
may stand at the side of the trust.
the corporation and the syndicate,
while they compass the millions of
free Americans in their nets, and
yet in the eyes of the Republicans
who see in the cost of this impor-
tant contest only a waste of public
money, all the outrage and robbery,
perpetrated in the name Of ''protec-
ton" is a glorious thing. -Eanaw-
