Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1890-03-20

The people of Freeland were treat
ed on Wednesday, March 18th, to an
object lesson in protection. The oc-
casion being the sale advertised to
take place at the Central Hotel, of
carriages, buggies, harness, etc. The
ordinance of the Borough of Freeland
says: "No sale by auction shall take
place in the borough unless the owner
of the goods to be sold is a bonafde
resident of the borough for six months
previous" On this occasion party
from Hazleton advertised the sale
above mentioned, and on the date fix
ed for it were promptly stopped by
Burgess Cowen. They then went out
side the borough and began to sell,
when Constable Sault put in an ap-
pearance and arrested the whole
crowd, who gave bail for their appear
anceat court.
The reader will no doubt ask, "What
has this to do with protection 7" 1t is
this. The borough has a protective
plank in its ordinance for the benefit
of its merchants and business men,
while the purchasers ignore such a
system, as was evidenced by the howl
that went up from the would-be buyers
when they found that the sale was
stopped. This requires no comment
whatever. The men who have goods
to sell clamors for protection, while
the man who wants to buy is anxious
to buy it in the cheapest market
Much Indignation was INDUCED in
by would-be buyers, residents of the
borough as well as outsiders, at the
action of the Burgess in stopping
the SALE Yet these same men, mer.
chants and buyers will go to the poll
and vie with each other in voting for
protection.

Ballot Reform and the Constitution.

Some very well meaning persons in
this State are inadvertently playing into
the hands of the enemies of Ballot Reform
by insisting that an amendment of the
Constitution would be necessary for the
introduction Of the Australian system
into Pennsylvania. The machine poll
ticians have already taken the cue, and
upon this hint the sneaking opposition
to Ballot Reform will doubtless be carried
on in the next Legislature. Whether
the managers of the next Republican
State Convention will boldly take high
constitutional ground or endeavor to
escape the question of Ballot Reform in
an unmeaning generality remains to be
seen. But the Democratic State Conven
tion cannot afford to resort to any double
dealing on this important issue; and il
not in the least likely to do so.
AS has been frequently shown, there il
nothing in the Constitution of Pennsyl
vanla which prevents the adoption of the
essential features of the Australian sys
tem-those which require all ballots to be
printed and issued by the public au.
thorities at public expense and the erec.
ton Of booths or stalls in which voters
may secretly make up their tickets with.
out molestation. 1t is contended, how.
ever, that the provision of the Constitu.
ton of Pennsylvania requiring all tickets
to be numbered is destructive of the Sc,
cret ballot, and therefore incongruous
with the Australian system. Whatever
may be the weight Of this objection u
the policy of the Constitution, it doe
not involve a constitutional question
The whole strength of the objection lie
in the plea that the Australian ballo
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1890-03-20

system would be less effective while the
provision of the Constitution requiring
the numbering of ballots should remain
in force.
But the trainers of the Constitution
maintained that they were providing
amply for protecting the secrecy of the
ballot when they made it misdemeanor
for an election officer to disclose how any
citizen has voted. Experience has justi-
fed this view; for the instances in which
the secrets of the ballot-box have been
disclosed by prying officials are exceed
ingly rare. In fact, in the counting of
hundreds of votes the election officers
seldom stop to compare the contents of
the ballot with its number in order to
identify the voter. Even dishonest cleo
ton officers would not commit perjury
and incur the risk Of Imprisonment for
nothing.
The Constitution, for the further
security of the suffrage, provides that
any voter may write his name on his
ticket if he choose. In some modifica
tions of the Australian system the voter
is prohibited from disclosing the names
of the candidates for whom he has voted.
But this would be carrying the principle
of the secret ballot to an unnecessary
and absurd length. The citizen has as
good right to declare for whom he has
voted as he has to express freely his
opinions on any other subject.
But the provisions of the Constitution
as to numbering tickets and writing
names upon them, while affording suffi-
cient protection to the secret ballot, are
salutary means of preventing as well as
of exposing election frauds. They create
the secret records which, when brought
to light in any proper judicial inquiry,
inevitably cause the detection and
punishment of dishonest election officers.
Instead of being inconsistent with the
Australian system or any other genuine
Ballot Reform, they would give it in
creased strength. 1t would be more
reasonable to call convention to put
these provisions into the Constitution, if
not already there, than to call conven-
ton for the purpose of taking them out
of it.

the English miners, but English work

the cost of living has declined, the

The worst feature of the unusual
weather conditions that have prevailed
this winter is the damage that appears
to have been done growing wheat in
a large section of the West. The fav-
orable weather of the early winter ad-
vanced the plants more than usual,
and two successive hard frosts in
March have apparently killed them.
Nothing could have been more unfavor-
able to early vegetation than the
spring-like days of February, followed
by the unusual cold weather of a few
days in March.

They need to learn just one more
lesson, and that is that they can
never hope to have their ideas of
tariff reform realized by sending to
Congress lot of representatives who
are owned body and soul and boots
by the trusts and monopolies. Let
these farmers repudiate the Repubi-
can party, and learn to vote the
straight Democratic ticket, and the
light will begin to shine.
