WAS ASKED TO RESIGN.

Our readers will remember Z. L.
Patterson, at one time pastor of the
Baptist church of this city, and who
left something like year ago, part
ing with his congregation on not the
best of terms. 1t seems that he was
not able to get along any better in his
new location as will be noted by the
following dispatch which We clip from
Thursdays Minneapolis Tribune:
MASON CITY, Iowa, July 20.-There
is a GOODNESS between the First Baptist
church of this city, and its former
pastor, DR.. T. L. Patterson. Trouble
has been brewing for some time, which
finally eliminated in the resignation
of the pastor on the payment of $50
cash in hand The trouble is the
talk of the town. For we'll founded
reasons a majority of the officials,
deacons and members of the church
asked him to resign. The merits of
the case were warmly discussed be-
tween the pastor and the church,
which finally resulted in the COM
promise However, the ire of the
pastor was raised, and In parting With
the congregation and in the presence
of large audience he paid his re-
spects in the following language:
II do not think much of you. My
only feelings toward you are those of
contempt and indifference. never
will try to injure you, as that would
not become minister of the gospel.
do not want you to come to me and
say that you sympathize with me and
bid me godspeed, for l will take no
notice of that and it will be pleasant
er for you if you just keep away from
me. l do not want you near me. If
my family is sick and in need of help
do not want any aid from you. All
l ask is for you to leave me alone. 1t
will be much better if you do. l can
truly say that / never saw more de-
spisable set of people calling them
selves Christians.

POwderly on the Homestead Trouble.

The Journal Of the Knights Of Labor
has a long letter from Powderly in
which. among other things he says:
Partisan papers are endeavoring
to make political capital out of the
terrible scenes which took place at
Homestead the other.day. The Demo
cratic papers are vehement in their
denunciations of the Republican party
for enacting tariff law under which
protection was afforded to manufact-
urers. There is no love for working
men in the hearts of these editors:
desire to serve party interests alone
actuateS them. Let US review the
situation in brief. Tariff laws could
not be passed without discussion, and
in all Of the debates which took place
in congress over the Mills and McKin-
ley bills / cannot find that a single
amendment was offered by Democrat
to give the wOrkmen certain portion
Of the tariff when collected. The
Mills bill and Mckinley bill differ very
little in the duty on steel rails, plates,
etc. One was a Democratic bill the
other Republican. The Mckinley
bill reduced the duty on the articles
manufactured at Homestead, and
Democratic papers, in asserting that
the trouble at that point is due to the
Mckinley bill are but condemning the
very thing that they themselves advo-
cate and on which they base their
claim to power-a reduction of the
tariff. The Pinkertons existed before
the Mills bill was introduced in con-
gresS, and that institution continues
fn hn nL (iv7la
is in force. Whether the tariff went
up or down, disputes between employ
er and employed would continue
Workmen are not the fools that poll
ticians believe them to be, for we do
not feel that the coming of the mill
lenlum depends upon the way congress
legislates on the tariff.
If our Democrats who are so eager
to make political capital out of this
difficulty will lend me their ears, l
will whisper to them that Representa-
tive Watson, of Georgia, has had a
measure before congress for the last
four or five mOnts which aims at the
abolition of the PinkertOns as factor
in the industrial life of the United
States. The Democratic party has a
sweeping majority in congress; it has
full knowledge Of the acts of the
PinkertOns on previous occasions. /
have presented evidence enough to
congress to prove that the Pinkertons
are an enemy to American liberty.
That Democratic majority has a
knowledge of the existence of Wat
sons bill, and it has up to the present
time dillied and dallied with it and
has no idea of passing it. 1--WE have
petitioned for redress" have endeav-
ored to get congress, but ''our repeat
ed petitions have been answered only
by repeated injury" and civil war at
Homestead. Democratic editors who
now rave about the Pinkertons and
condemn the Republican party for
their actions at Homestead would
lend an air of sincerity to their writ
ings if they would but demand of the
majority, held by their own party in
congress, to pass the law which will
wipe the Pinkertons from the soil of
America.

SHOWS UP THEIR DEMAGOGISM.

One Of the worst blows which the
free trade Democrats have received in
regard to the position they have TAX
en- toward the Homestead trouble, is
the letter written upon the subject by
Mr.. Powderly, an extract of which we
reproduce elsewhere tonight. Mr..
Powderly shows very conclusively
that the tariff has very little to do
with the matter, but that if it has
any the effect is directly the opposite
from that ascribed by the free traders
Mr.. PowderlY cannot be accused of
being more friendly to the Republi-
cans than to the Democrats, and his
statement that if the tariff is at the
bottom Of the trouble, as the Demo
Gratis assert, they are condemning the
very thing they themselves advocate,
for the reason that the Mckinley law
reduced the tariff upon the product
of the Carnegie mills, to point con-
siderdbly lower than the Mills bill
provided for, is something that is
calculated to set workingmen and
Others to thinking, for as Mr.. Powder
ly well says, ''workmen are not the
fools that the politicians believe them
to be"and the Democrats will find that
their holding the tariff responsible for
the trouble, will prove boomerang
to their cause.
He also punctures their demagogic
rantings in regard to the Pinkertons,
by showing that if they were honest
in the matter their representatives in
congress would have taken up Con-
gresham Watson's bill, which aims
at the abolition Of the Pinkertons as
a factor in the industrial life of the
country, and which has been before
the house for four or five months.
Mr.. Powderly's letter falls with ter
rife force upon the demagogism of De-
mocracy In the case, aid punctures
their Inflated windbag, causing it to
collapse upon their own heads.
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1892-07-29

THE opinion seems to be quite gen.
eral that the Carnegie company in
swearing out warrants for the arrest
of Burgess McLuckie, Hugh O'Donnell
and other leaders of the HOMESTEAD
strikers, on the charge of murder,
have not made master stroke for
their cause, in view of the fact that
these men are said to have done every
thing in their power to subdue the
passions of the strikers upon that
Hateful day. Their counsles from the
first, are said to be against violence
of any kind. But they were power
less before the rage which the appear
ance Of the Pinkertons excited. There
is mo question however, but that
their interference saved the lives of
the remaining Pinkertons that were
rescued from the boats. While the
violence of the strikers was ineXcusa-
BILE, and those who lead in it should
answer to the law they violated, yet
it should be remembered that it was
melted by the introduction of an arm
ed force from beyond the limits of the
state, which had no authority of law
whatever. For this the Carnegie
company is solely responsible. This
outbreak ought to cause the enact
ment of laws in every state which will
prevent the recurrence of such inva-
sions in the future If government is
instituted for the protection of socie-
ty,its arm should be extended wherev-
er needed, and not allow the practices
of the middle ages to become preva-
lent.in the last.days of our nineteenth
century civilization.

SCHILLING'S SPEECH.

Robert Schilling, of Milwaukee,
the Peoples party stump speaker who
is going through the county spreading
the seeds of discord and trying to stir
up dissatisfaction, addressed a small
crowd on w. Jackson street last
night. A half dozen or so of sympa-
thizers sat around him and shouted
good" and ''that's right whenever
he made particularly exaggerated
statement or some assertion unsup-
ported by facts. The remainder of
his hearers were attracted by his pow
erful voice and felt no sympathy with
him or his mission. He is a very
smooth speaker and was well posted
upon statistics, so much so that with
a few correct premises he would reach
conclusions altogether at fault with
such subtleness that the unthinking
could easily have been mislead and
the ignorant imposed upon. He was
not as rabid as he becomes when more
sure of his audience. His main ar
gument was in support of govern
ment ownership of the railroads. He
placed the capitalization of all rail-
road companies at $4,000, 600, 900,
which he claimed was mostly owned
by foreign capitalists, who draw out
great sums from the country annually.
He would have the railroads pur-
chased at fair appraisal by the gov
eminent. He said that the railroads
in Austria and Australia are owned
by the government and that in those
countries one can travel as far as
from Mankato to New York City for
So. In Australia wages are as high
as in America, and the eight hour
system prevails.
He stated that the recent advance
in the price of coal of so cents a ton
meant taxation of SIC, 100000 upon
the people by half dozen coal barons
The miners of hard coal receive but
10 cents a ton for their labor, and if
the government owned the railroads
and mines people in MankatO could
buy their coal for So per ton instead
of $780, He said that revolution
is more justified now than hundred
years ago, as millions and billions Of
our money goes to foreign syndicates.
But the revolution must be by ballot,
instead of war. 1.-The ballots falling
all over this country as lightly and as
softly as the snow falls upon the fro
zen sod will carry out your desires as
completely as the lightnings do the
will of God"
During his long discourse he took
occasion to let his hearers know of
the greatness Of Schilling and how
Schilling has been abused by the
press, and what thoroughly good
man he is. In his frequent references
to himself he showed the egotism
which is large element in his make
up. He stated that Bill Irwin is try
ing to carry his people into the Dem
ocratic party. He referred several
times to his Pipestone contest with
Prof. McCleary.
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1892-07-29

THERE is great difference between
the anarchist Bergman, who attempt
ed to assassinate II. G. Frick. and
the workingman at Homestead. Be-
tween the two there is nothing in
common. Undoubtedly there are
those who will hold the strikers re-
sponsible for the crime, but there has
nothing yet developed that would
justify the accusation. The act is
one that is deplored by every true
friend of labor. Bergman was not a
workingman. He had no grievance in
common with the Homestead work.
ingmen, and had his attempted assas-
sination proved successful, it would
have settled nothing in the contro-
versy. As has already been demon
strated at Homestead, capital and
labor can gain nothing by violence,
and honest labor has no sympathy
and no time for anarchistic methods.

PROTECTION STIMULATES INVEN-
TT0N

The FREE PRESS does not doubt
but that the Minneapolis Times
would like to discuss the tariff ques-
tion intellectually and honestly, but
it is hampered in its desires by its de-
Tense of free trade principles. Its up
holding of this idea leads 1t to some
queer conclusions. Referring to a
remark in FREE PRESS editorial of
Tuesday, that the tariff had much to
do with calling the inventive genius
of man into play, it says: "How,
pray? 1t has done just the opposite.
Anything, which diffuses knowledge
and promotes thought, stimulates in
vention." In the last sentence
quoted from the Times is the partial
answer to its question. The building
up of an industrial system promotes
thought, broadens mans mind and
makes him more useful citizen.
The tariff by being so adjusted as to
protect certain articles, has caused
large manufacturing institutions to
grow up here. The presence of these
institutions has stimulated inventive
genius, because it has caused him to
study what Improvements can be
made whereby the interests Of manu-
featuring can be advanced. If the
institutions did not exist there would
be nothing to attract the attention
of man in that direction, and hence
few inventions. The tariff may act
directly upon only few things, but
its indirect influence goes out over
many.
Again the Times says that ''protec-
tion restricts trade and the associa-
tion of nations. Hence retards the
progress of invention" In this re-
spect that sheet might study with
profit the report of the bureau of
statistics, which contains full and
complete answer to the free trade as
sertiOns that protection restricts
trade and shows them to be without
foundation. As to the statement
that protection retards invention the
fact that the United States leads the
world in the matter of inventions
shows this to be false. If the asser-
tion of the Iisles was true, England
would take the lead in inventive mat
tiers. But statistics shows she does
not.
