county organ stating that Mr.. Aller

Of not getting the appointment, he

as the, candidate of an opposing party
etc. Well, if Mr.. Allen did apply fol
an appointment at the hands OF Dea-
con Harrison and failed to get it, we
venture to guess the reason why he
did not Basing our guess on the
fact that Mr.. Allen is an ex-union
soldier, hence he had to fare the same
fate-as that of other eX-uniOn SOL
diers under the recommends ion OF
one Funston, who is somewhat noted
for overriding the claims of ex-union
soldiers, and also the popular wish of
patrons of postoffices, etc. Now as
10 the Peoples convention that nomi-
mated Mr.. Allen, we presume they
knew just where and how he stands
on ali the living political reforms of
to-day. We also believe that that the
farmers and laboring masses of this
country are capable of thinking and
judging for themselves, and from the
signs of things, Friend Eagle, the pcO-
pie are going to do their own voting,
and don't you forget it. They are
from this time henceforth going to
look after their own interest. They
are beginning to realize the fact that
they have been paying their hard
earned money for old party organs
that have been decoying, leading and
keeping them in the financial trap
they are now in. They also know it
TO be fact that some Of these same
organs have been, and are still, suck
ing the tax money that they have to
pay. Your old chestnut howl, Friend
Eagle, is getting to be like salt that
has lost it's sayOr. Get up something
new or shut up shop. The people
have had enough of The cd chestnut.
The masses of the people in the Sec
ond congressional district, outside Of
FunstOn's fOurth-class postmaster
rings, and the office-holders and Office
seekers of the party, have also had
enough of the old chestnut, Funston :,
for they know of no act or measure
that he has even introduced in the
house of congress that would have
been beneficial to the interest of ag-
riculture or labor. Now then, Friend
Eagle, if you wish to see goOdy-
goody kind of a man unfit for the pO-
sition, just wait till Farmer Funston
comes around to see what ails the

The farmers alliance has accomplish
ed a better thing for Alabama than car
rying a political election. 1t is said
that it has effected an arrangement
with foreign capitalists for obtaining an
advance on cotton in store, at g35 a
bale, at 4 per cent per annum, upon the
condition that the owner of the cotton
is to have the privilege of selling at any
time within twelve months. The adj
vance will enable producers, if in deht,
to settle with their merchants, or OBJ
tain extensions and save them the ne
cessity Of forcing the whole crop on the
market during the brief months in
which it is gathered. 1t is the dump
ing of the crop upon the market which
prices and enables spectators
to buy ON their own terms. When they
are relieved of this necessity prices viii

A Good Bill to Defeat.

A bill which will not meet the APP
proval of the newspapers, and which
ought never come from the committee to
which it was referred, is that of Con
gresham Sweeney, Of Iowa, providing
for the exclusion from the mails OF any
paper devoted to the publication or prin-
cipally made mp of criminal news, police
reports, containing accounts of criminal
deeds, ETC."
The TRIBUNE has never published SEN
sational matter, simply, because it was
sensational, but, on the contrary, has
studiously avoided the publication of any
thlng that it was not fully warranted in
giving to its readers as legitimate news.
indeed, there never has been a vulgar
or or suggestive line in the columns of the
IAhVNE, and yet, under such bill as
NJ; sweeney has introduced, it would be
"IIhlh Ihe power Of any one so inclined
10 prevent the sending of even the clean
est OF newspapers through the mails.
lhe publlcatlon Of the facts of bur-
giary or MURDER or any other criminal
action, would be sufficient under the
bill, to exclude it from the mails CON.
gresham Sweeney probably intendad
this bill to touch only such period;coiS os
in his opinion, are immoral in tone. fmi
there would be plenty of opportnnities
under the bill for personal enemies of
the most respectable and the purest news.
papers to cause annoyance and great
financial loss.
Newspapers that offend public morality
should be severely dealt with in the
criminal courts, but it would be a grave
mistake, as well as gross injustice, t.
enact such law as Mr.. Sweeney pro
poses.

We are bitter apponent of strikes, and
can see justification of them as last re-
sort only against pure and undulterated
oppression or injustice on the part of the
employer of labor. Before entering upon
a strike campaign the workmen inter-
ested should be sure that what they in
tend to resist or demand is clearly what
they understand it to be.
Some call a certain grievance "oppres-
sion, tyranny" or "despotism, which,
upon strict inquiry, in no way belongs to
that catalogue; and when reasoning,
judicious and disinterested people see
those epithets applied without a cause,
it only weakens our position in their
eyes and gives us the name of using
strong language to prop weak argument.
This ought to be avoided. If we are
wronged let us prove it by a presentation
of facts in simple saxon, suited to the
subject, and it will carry more weight
with it than a personal or vindictive at
tack hurled with vengeance that only
excites those whom we want to do justice
Any one who has studied himself can
not have overlooked that prominent
characteristic that makes one easier to
"lead" than to "drive." If he has, then
has he missed one of the most important
springs in our nature and cannot deal
with men.
1t has been our custom since we re-
member, in our trade disputes, for us to
deal with our coal operators as if they
were not human beings, but species Of
animal, devoid of all the finest attributes
of him whom the Creator made His
crowning work of creation-man. On
the other side they too often treat us as
beasts of burden, incapable of thinking
or doing what is right; and the moment
arupture a of any kind takes place the lines
are drawn between us, and we are in a
day or two the mortal enemies, so to
speak, of each other. Reason, judgment,
wisdom, philosophy, all are thrown to
the winds, and we are into the throats of
those whom we want to remedy our

wrongs and they into our very vitals to
starve us to submission-we whom they
expect will serve them faithfully and
make wealth for them.
Is this the proper spirit to cultivate by
those who are dependent ON each other?
We think not We know it is not. In
most trades the employing interest
and workmen have their quarrels and
their strikes, but they are not as frequent
as ours, nor do we think they are as bit
ter Why are they less frequent? We
think there is more liberal disposition on
both sides to negotiate to heal up the
wounds, to make terms and not to force
them. 1t has been the ruin of many
coal operators, the desire to rule imperi-
ously and compel men to think and act
just as they did. 1t has been our great
est folly, the thousand and one attempts,
to coerce those who employ us to do as
we desired.
This basis of operation, in our mind,
is resorted to nineteen times for once
that there is any sensible reason why it
should be so, and many strikes that
should not have an existence take their
inspiration and means of sustenance from
such reasoning, and not from any cause
why it should be done. Thus such con-
tests are oftentimes failures, when, if
by judicious interchange of opinion on
the part of the parties interested, con-
flict might be avoided, but if no agree
ment could be entered into, such course
would go long way to smooth the path
and keep the employer and employee in
harmonious relations with each other.
The action of the industrial classes all
over the world at the present time is be-
ing watched with great interest, and with
none more so than by the coal miners of
this anthracite coal region. These men,
in years gone by, had to fight their bat
ties single-handed and alone, with the
result already known; and in the con-
test for shorter hours now going on they
will remain passive spectators.

"THE most eloquent advocate Of
tariff reform in Philadelphia, said
James M. Beck, of that city, in a
speech at Democratic celebration in
Boston, sis the sheriff of our county,
who has closed since the election Of
1888, in this promised era of good
times, over sixty eight woolen mills
and houses alone" Last year the
failures of firms engaged in the woolen
manufacturing in Philadelphia aver
aged more than one in every week,
and yet in the face of this disaster it
is gravely proposed to further cripple
this falling industry by heavier taxes
on wool.

On the subject of protection and bank
ruptcy ex-Speaker Carlisle writes in the
F0'um; There has never been time in
our history when there was SO much dis
content and as little prospect of improve
ment as there is now among those classes
that ought to be prosperous. Nearly
every trade, occupation and profession is
organized to formulate and present its
demand for relief, and the Republican
party responds to their appeals by pro-
posing to extend and strengthen the pro-
lection system of taxation under which
they have been reduced to their present
condition. This and the appropriation
OF public money out of the Treasury for
the benefit Of few favorite classes is
the only remedy it proposes. The evils
resulting from thirty years of protection
are to be caused by more protection, and
the over-burdened tax pa yers are to be
retrieved by having their forced contri-
buttons given away to wealthy individ-
uaIs and corporations engaged in the
foreign carrying trade.

EX-GOVERNOR OSBORN is quoted as
saying, "We have been rolling up Re
publican majorities by pressing home
on the farmers the old time doctrines
OF Horace Greedy, that protection
would build up factories at our doors
and furnish a market for the sale of
our products. Unless something is
done to show Kansas people that pro
lection, as practiced by the Re
publican party, works out that result,
we shall have trouble. We cannot
any longer furnish the big Republican
majorities and let the manufacturers
down East, who are rich, get all the
benefits, while we have nothing but
mortgages to show for it."

The Democrats of Berks county
are preparing to carry on the tariff
reform during the coming summer
and fall by series of pic-nics, to be
called tariff reform pic-nics. They
will be held in various parts of the
county; and at each one of them a
part of the time will be devoted to
listening to addresses on the tariff by
prominent advocates of tariff reform
We believe movement of this kline
would be popular in this county also
and would be productive of mucl
good to the Democratic party. The
matter is certainly worthy of con
sideration.

FREELAND, PA, MAY S, 1890.

The loss to the country of United
States Senator James B. Beck,
who died suddenly at Washington on
Saturday, was unexpected and ire
parable. He was honored among all
classes and conditions of men as an
honest, incorruptible Statesman, a
true patriot, and an earnest, sincere
friend of liberty and progress. There
is no region Of the Republic, however
remote, where his death will not be
sincerely lamented.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1890-05-08

The absurdities of the Republican
tariff bill becomes daily more apparent.
The country asks of Congress ma
terial reduction of the revenues Of the
Government; and this monstrosity.
which Mr.. Carlisle has shown, will in,
crease the revenue about s40,000,00O
per annum, is rendered them by the
Republicans of the House. There is
only one good thing about this bill,
and that is it will furnish a lot of tip
top Democratic campaign material for
the coming Congressional fights.
