dreamed of.
The wall of labor for justice has
brought to its defense men of char.
acter and ability-men who have come
to stay. These men see the conditions
that prevail, and have investigated
the causes that make them possible;
but, disagree somewhat as to the
remedies to be applied.
The fact that they have caught the
public ear, is evidence that the public
are interested in the solution of the
problem, and, it is only a matter of
time when State socialists, single tax
men and all other friends of human
freedom will consolidate their forces
in applying the proper remedies.
Much credit is due to labor organiza-
tions, and to the knights of Labor
especially, for the part they have
played in pressing this problem to
the foreground in practical politics,
and, to the men who have become dis
and abandoned their organi-
cations, we say come back. Your
work in the past has had it's effects.
You have built better and probed
deeper than you ever anticipated.
Your aid and cooperation is necessary
to push to final finish the good work |
you have so ably commenced.

the Miners National Bank and the
Pennsylvania National Bank having, in
compliance with the assessments made
by the financial officers of the State, paid

The production of anthracite coal
in February was less than 100000
tons and below the allotment more
than 100000 tons. The production
of January and February is 100000
tons below the average consumption
in those months recently. These
figures prove pretty conclusively that

The petition of the iron manufac-

The present tariff is paralyzing the
very labor it processes to protect by
needless and crushing taxes on raw
materials, and equally crushing and
needless taxes on the necessaries of
life; and instead Of imposing new and
more oppressive taxes on the working
people; the time has come when there
must be a radical advance in free raw
materials and cheapened necessaries
of life.

Now that Freeland Council has or
ganized, it is none too soon to suggest
some improvements that might take
place. In the borough the first thing
to do is to establish an ash and garb-
age system, instead of using the alleys
and byways for depositing all kinds of
Objectionable material. This matter
can be attended to at very little cost.

The Educated Farmer.

An exceptionally interesting and
forcible sermon was that delivered
before the graduating class of the
Massachusetts, Agricultural College
mt Amherst by Prof. G. 5. Walker.
His text was Luke xxii,32 Strength
en- thy brethern.' The topic was
"The Duty of the Educated Farmer" !"
Among other things Prof. Walker
said
Heretofore in all parts of the
world the farmer has been no match
for his adversary. He has never
held his own against the soldier or
the priest, against the politician or
the statesman. In ancient times he
was the slave in the Middle Ages
the serf. In the nineteenth century
he is the slave, the serf, the peasant
or the proprietor, according to loca-
ton. American farmers rs "A class
are face TO face with a crisis. From
all parts of this land farmers are
coming together. Organization aud
cooperation are the wonderful ideas
that have awakened them as never
before. They are grasping hands
with u grip that means something

civilization.
In conclusion Prof. Walker sal,
that the duty ofthe educated farme
was to supply leaders demanded by
the farmers. to see that no mistak,
shall be made which shall turn bacl
the progress of the movement
That is very important point ant
one that farmers, in the past, hav,
been so apt to forget. Gild-tongue(

The Practicability Of the Bicycle
Is no longer question of doubt.
and except where there are none it
has ceased to be regarded as any
| thing but u common-sense, every
day means of convenience. 1t is
faster and safer than a horse, un-
eXcelled as Il means of healthful eX-
ercise, and unrivalled among sports
as n pleasurable, exhilerating recre-
alton. The utility of the wheel, the
healthful benefits to be derived, and
the extreme pleasure of its use, can
only be fully appreciated and un-
| derstood by those who ride. The
enormous Increase in the number of
riders in this country and through
out the world the last fourteen years
is unimpeachable evidence of the
practical value of the wheel, which
has now been used across the water
for sixteen and in this country for
fourteen years with constantly in
creasing favor. 1t is the horse of
thousands of divines, doctors, law.
yers, business men, etc, etc, all
over the country. The fact that the
steel wheel has received the emphat-
ic endorsement of use by large mum
bers of such men, very many of
whom have riden for many years,
makes it impossible to entertain the
idea that the present popularity OF
the bicycle is merely n passing
craze" 4 bicycle will last rs long
ms the owner is willing to replace
the worn or broken parts, which
can be done mt moderate cost if
the parts are interchangeable. Many
riders go through the whole season
without having any repairs made,
and it is safe to say that good
bicycle will last from five to ten
years without any expensive repairs
being required, unless the machine
is made wreck by an unusual ac-
cident, and even then it is practical
ly indsstructible.
You will save money be you wo-
man, man or child by getting my
prices before you buy bicycle. All
sold on easy payments. Old wheels
bought.
