LEGREES AND TRICKS.

The Chicago Herald Points Out Simu.
lartty Between Slavery and Proteo-
tion.
Slavery had its Legrees. Protection
has its Fricks. The Fricks gain prom
inence in the monopoly tariff system
for exactly the same reasons that the
Legrees gained prominence in the
slavery system. They are brUtes. They
do the british work of british masters
whose hands are soft but whose hearts
are hard.
No ordinary American industry finds
it necessary to rake the earth for the
meanest man to place in charge of its
employees. That quest is made only by
the protected industries. The meaner
the man, the more cruel and heartless,
the better he serves the purpose. If he
be wretch so inhuman and so desti-
tute of mercy that in the average
American town where the tariff is un-
known, except as 1t picks the pocket of
the honest toiler, he would not be toll
Grated, the more he is worth to the
tariff lord. In a protected camp he
lives in the finest house, fares sump-
tuously every day, and by grinding the
faces of the poor amasses wealth for
absentee landlords and gains cash and
infamy for himself.
Every great tariff protected industry
has Its Frick. The benevolent scheme
of protection has its Frlcks. The Frick
who manages the Carnegie mills at
Homestead is only one of many such
aauaUaa No nrOtpctpd induStrV can he
run except with Frick in charge. The
Fricks are the men who look after the
blood money. There are other and
more humane men who look after the
money that is stolen by commercial
methods from the people who buy the
protected product. If there Is blood on
one portion of this money there is dirt
on the other portion. Mixed together,
it is the cash that buys foreign castles,
purchases foreign titles, swells Repub-
lican campaign funds and, In the hands
of the hungry, the base and the wretch
ed, corrupts the ballot.
The Fricks in the monopoly tariff
system, like the Legrees in the slavery
system, are of value to their masters
because they meet the requirements of
a heartless and swindling institution.
The Carnegies are willing to pay liber-
ally for such services as they render.
The Carnegies are far too nice in their
tastes to kill either by bludgeon or
bullet or by famine or plague, but they
do not scorn the dirty dollars wrung by.

AN EASY ONE.

Will our Democratic friends please
explain why it is that their party is so
popular in England, and that Grover
Cleveland is so heartily indorsed by the

This is an easy one. The Democratic
party is popular in England, as else
where, because It's truly democratic in
a broad sense of the word; because 1t Is
the party of the masses and not of the
classes, and because it aims to benefit
the toiler by putting the necessaries
and some of the luxuries of life within
reach of his salary. BUTT is Harrison
not Cleveland, who is endorsed by for

THERE MUST Be NO PARTIALLY

Carnegie's locked-out men at Home
stead are being arrested by the whole
sale for participating in riot, for
gathering in an unlawful manner and
jeopardizing the peace of the people of
Pennsylvania and their dignity.

and If 1t can be shown that any of the
men placed under arrest were RESPONSE

last week they should be dealt with ac-

But the efforts of the authorities to
bring the responsible parties to justice
and punish all the transgressors should
not stop here.
Andrew Carnegie and his heartless
co-partners should be indicted by the
the Allegheny county grand jury for
importing an armed body of men into
the state.

statutes as we'll as of the statu O. of

HE DEMOCRATIC CAM PAIeN.

This seems to be an opportune time
for the Inauguration of the Demo-
cratic campaign. The conditions nee

unusually favorable just now in view
of the startling revelations at Home.
stead concerning the iniquities of the
protective tariff and the hostile posi-
ton of protected manufacturers like
Carnegie toward the American work
man.
The enemy has involuntarily placed
in our possession potent and irrefutable
arguments against the system it has
been fostering for years and which they
are attempting to perpetrate, and it is
our duty to present such arguments to
the people in convincing mapner
This can best be done by carrying on a
vigorous campaign against the high
protective tariff of the Republican
party.
A certain class of voters are lament
ably ignorant on this question. For
years they have swallowed the protec-
tive claptrap disseminated by the Re-
publican press, but since the shameful
duplicity of the Republican party was
exposed by the Homestead lockout they
look at the question in an entirely
different manner. 1t Is this class of
voters that the Democratic press,
orators and committees should labor
with. The fed is wide and there is
abundant scope for the most enthu-
siastic champion of tariff reform,
Reports from various central points
in the country are to the effect that the
Democratic forces are uniting in every
county, township and school district
and that tariff reform is being made
the paramount issue. In the so-called
doubtful states the organization is be.
ing made particularly strong and active
work has already been commented and
is now progressing merrily.
1t is conceded that Ohio is among the
very doubtful states this year. So very
doubtful, in fact, that the chances favor
a Democratic victory. New York, of
course, is uncertain in literal sense of
the word, but Mr.. Cleveland's friends
are not worrying very much over the
outcome in November. Pennsylvania |
-s surely in the doubtful list this year
and so are Indiana, Iowa and MiChi-
gan.
The Peoples Party may, and |
probably will, carry some of the hereto
fore Republican states beyond the
and thus make the chances |
If Harrison's reelection still more
if such thing is possible.
Taken altogether the outlook is more
lattering than it has been for some
line and long pull, "a strong pull and

A COW CASE
In Which d. A. oorrell Steals March on
His Opponent.

In Which ID. A. oorrell Steals March on
His Opponent.
queer case was up in Justice Reigner's 9
court this morning in which S25 COW was
involved. 1t appears that one d. A.
Correll had hired John Wilson to feed the
cow up, and the animal having attained
to considerable degree of fatness, he
concluded he would like to have her
again. But now Wilson presented his
bill for keeping the beast and Correll
would not pay 1t. Neither would Wilson
give up the bovine until he did. As a
matter OF fact the size of the bill repre-
sented very nearly the value of the COW.
Correll replevined the animal and Consta.
BILE Fslla served the papers, took possess
sion OF the property and gave the COW to
Correll, pending the hearing of the case.
The matter came up this morning and on
motion Of Wilson's attorneys the case was
dismissed 1t now developed, however,
that Correll had hustled the COW Off to the
butcher shop and sold her and that she
was already probably cooked and eaten
by the citizens of Canton. OF course
Wilson will not get the COW back under
the circumstances but now he proposes to
hold Constable Fana for allowing the cow
to be killed. The case is novel one to
say the least.

CARNEGIE, HE PROTECTED.

Andrew Carnegie, who furnishes the
Republican party with the sinews of
war to carry on its unholy Protection
campaigns, is the biggest fraud before
the people today.
When he came here from the barren
moors of Scotland he was comparative
ly penniless. Now he boasts that he is
worth about S35OO0000, every penny of
which he has made out of a protected
industry
lie claims to he a friend of the labor
ing man, but he is not. The only use he
has for the wage Garner is to make as
much out of him as possible.
lie is an enemy of organized labor
and has been fighting it for years, He
has broken up some OF the strongest
unions in the country. He converted
Braddock, Pa, which a few years ago
was the stronghold Of American labor,
into non-union town.
While the output of his mills was
protected by Republican laws aud was
purchased entirely by American con.
sumers, he froze out American work
men by cutting down their wages and
then imported Poles and Hungarians to
take their places.
Most of the riots which have occurred
in Pennsylvania in years past can be
attributed directly to these same Poles
and Hungarians.
That is the kind of Protectionist
Carnegie is. His mills and their pro-
duct are protected-thanks to the
Republican party-but he hires his help
on the free trade principle when he
can.
With some of the money he makes in
this country he buys shooting lodges
and castles and founds public libraries
in Scotland. This is free trade in the
abstract.
The sole object of the present lock-
out is to break up the union at Home
stead so that non-union men can be
employed In the mills there at starva-
ton wages.
BY doing this Carnegie can reimburse
himself for the $4,000 he gave the
Aberdeen, Scotland, library and also
for the hundred thousand or so that he
will contribute to the Republican cam
paign fund, and still salt the usual two
millions this year.
The fallacy Of high protection was
never better illustrated than in Carne-
flies case. He doesn't even care
enough about the welfare of his EN-.
ployes to discuss the situation with
them. He will not compromise and
ignores even the suggestion of arbitra-
tion. He has placed his heel on the
neck Of the Homestead men and he
intends TO keep it there with the aid of
the Pinkerton assassins, the State
militia and the Republican press.
The only way to bring Carnegie to
time is by defeating the Republican
party.
Shoot the robber tariff and vote for
Grover Cleveland.

ROUGH ON THE GOVERNOR.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer Calls Hin
Down For Inconsistency.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer Calls Him
Down For Inconsistency.
81 think it is poor policy to make
political capital out of such an unfor-
tunate affair at this time," said Gov
Mckinley in his Plain Dealer interview
on the Homestead labor troubles.
There was once mighty conflict be-
tween the north and the south in which
thousands OF men lost their lives and
millions of dollars worth of property
was destroyed. The causes which
brought about that conflict were not
political, but of moral nature. From
the start the party of which you are O
leader turned 1t to political purpose
and sought partisan advantage from it.
You did not object to such action then,
governor, neither have you raised your
voice in protest against turning the
entire results of the war into political
movement for the benefit of the Re-
publican party. You could see no good
reason why the Republican party, at
every election since the war, should not
take advantage of the situation by re-
viving The passions and prejudices of
the war period by hsunting the "bloody
shirt"
There is no one with the common in
stincts of manhood who does not de-
plore from the bottom of his heart the
unfortunate conflict at Homestead.
Yet because some papers suggest that
the promises of higher wages made to
labor at the time of the passage of the
Mckinley bill, of which our distin-
guished governor is the putative father,
had something to do with the disagree
ment that resulted in riots and blood
shed they are charged with making
political capital" out Of it.-CleVeland

FORGERY.
Samuel Schwyer Gets Himself
Into Serious Trouble.

Samuel Schwyer, n vest end resident
is behind the bars Of the county jill
charged with the forgery Of a promissory
note. SChwysr is rather an aged man,
has small thin face and carries wrinkles
on his sallow visage which indicates his
worldly tuTmoll5 and trials. About two
years ago, with his family, he occupied a
farm a few miles out of this city owned by
A, V. Pontius. IL seems the longer he
titled the soil the heavier hi9 debts be-
came. After he gave up farming he still
owed Nc. Pontius about 1916 and he gave
his landlord a note for that amount pur-
porting to have been signed by Catherine
Calvin and Soioman Clay and himself.
The note was dated December 7th, 1891
its face value being 1870, and due IN six
months from date. When the paper was
due payment was demanded by Pontius.
Schwyer then stated his inability to meet
the note with the required amount of
money. Attorney Whitacre then secured
a judgment against Sehwyer ia common
pleas court and the sheriff was instructed
to collect the same from Schwyer'e bonds
men, the Clays. When presented to them
by that official IL was pronounced a
deliberate forgery. Pontius went before
Justice Ringle yesterday and swore out an
affidavit for Schwyer's arrest. Constable
SlaRle apprehended him this morning
and took him before that justice where he
pleaded not guilty. He was bound over
to common pleas court in the sum Of 81 100
and committed to Jail in default of bail.
On change OF plea to not guilty Samuel
Schwyer was bound over for hearing next
Monday morning at 8 O'Clock.
