convicts could be employed without
conflicting with free labor. We can
conceive of but one, and that is to
work them on the pnblic roads. If
some one can devise scheme by
which the convicts can be- employed
in road building without bankrupt>
ing the State in their support and the
maintenance of the system, the pro-
blem will be solved. We believe
this can be done. While there is an
apparent very loud demand just at
present for a repeal of the lease sys-
TENS, yet should the extra session of
the Legislature repeal or even so

Merit Measured by Success.

The wonderful popularity of
Swift's Specific Is. S. S. is the natur-
al result of the tests to which the pub
lie has put it. The merits of the
medicine have remained the same,
but the knowledge of the people with
respect to its remarkable curative
properties has increased until now
there is demand for it wherever the
English language is spoken. S. S. S.
was offered as a specific for conta-
gious blood poison. For that it was,
and is truly a specific. But it is now
regarded, wherever its virtues are
known, as true specific for all
forms of blood disease. Whole col
umns could be filled with testimO-

shall be operated. Labor organiza-
tons, however, have assumed these
functions. Laborers have the privi-
lege of accepting or rejecting the
wages and conditions offered them,
but they have no right to dictate
wages and terms upon which any en-
terprise they do not own shall be op-
Grated. LabOrers have perfect
right to organize and agree among
themselves what wages they will
mark for, but they have no right to
interfere with other laborers who
choose to work for less. Returning
to the particular case under discus
sion, the Briceville miners brought
this trouble upon themselves. BY
their unreasonable and dictatorial
course, and by proving themselves
unworthy the confidence of the mine
operators, they forced the introduce
ton of convict labor. The mining
company had every legal and moral
right to employ the convict labor,
and it is the plain duty of the State
to protect both the company and the
convicts in the work, no matter what
the cost may be. q

THE prompt, decisive action of
Gov. Buchanan in the Briceville
troubles with the miners is in strik-
ing contrast to the wavering, milk
and mush policy he had pursued in
nearly all public matters up to that
time. 1t is to be regretted in this
case that the constitution opposes an
obstruction to the Governors plan of
operation. The Governor may posi-
bly, have exceeded the letter of the
law in calling out the militia, but the
miners grossly violated both the let-
ter and spirit Of the law, and we be-
lieve the emergency was sufficient
justification for the Governors action,
and it should be stoutly defended by
all law-abiding citizens.

believe, could he fall into line with

State to handle them in its own quar-
tiers set aside for their special purpo~

contemporaries should prevail, we
would have to lease Hand from our

penitentiaries to hold convicts. The

why do the gold men object to the

Simply because two standards of
money, with one of them subject to
considerable fluctuation in value, will
unsettle business interests of all kinds,
destroy confidence in our circulating
medium, and make capital very
timid of investment in either old or
new enterprises. The advocates of
free coinage seem to regard all who
oppose the measure, and particularly
the owners of money, as lot of cut

the general prosperity of the country,

wise benefit them, and any measure

THERE is a great deal Of gush
printed in many newspapers and
squirted out by labor agitators re-
garding the rights of laboring men,
the protection of workingmen, etc.
In these alleged discussions the rights
of the employers Of labor are general
ly lost sight of altogether. The eX-
listing troubles with the miners in the
Coal Creek region in East Tennessee
is a case in point. The newspaper
reports of these troubles have been of
such a nature as to draw the SYM
pathies of the people almost exclu-
sively to the miners. A statement
from the President of the Tennessee
Coal Mining Co., which we have
seen published in but one paper, the
Knoxville Tribune, puts an entirely
different phase upon the question to
that which one would naturally gath
er from current newspaper reports.
This statement shows that three times
within the last two years the miners
at Briceville have suspended opera
tiOns without notice TO their employ
ers, to the serious detriment of the
company. In each case the company
made important concessions to the
miners in order to keep work going.
The company finally submitted to
their workmen form of contract
under which other mines in the same
district were operated. This contract
was fair and liberal to the miners,
and was the only means by which
the company could protect its inter
ests and continue with free labor.
The company was strongly averse to
employing convict labor, and offered
the miners their choice of signing the
contract or having the convict labor
introduced in the mines. The mi
ners refused to sign the contract, and
no other alternative was left the com.
pany. The free labor had proven Sc
unreliable in the past that the com.
pany could not depend upon them tC
an extent to justify it in making con.
tracts for coal. If the full history Of
this case was well understood by the
public we feel confident that the
miners would have few sympathiser
left. And we doubt Lot that in 8
majority of the labor strikes, the la
borers are more at fault than the EN-
ployers. Much of what is called or
ganized labor in this country is LITTLE
less than incipient communism. We
hold that when an individual, or ;
company of individuals, establish
any kind of business industry, it i
their sole prerOgative TO fix the scalr
of wages and to make rules and REG
