Aught under Gods bright sun.

A candidate for congress in the Pitts.
burg district of Pennsylvania says in a
recent letter:
We do not have to go outside of Penn
sylvania today for wage statistics to
show that protection does not protect.
We have in our midst today seventy-two
tariff made millionaires and multimil-
lionaires snd 30, 900 idle men in cur dis
trict. The why and wherefore of this is
pertinent inquiry that must be an
swered. Has not the fiction that tariff
is protection of labor fooled the Amer
ican people long enough? When the
toiler asks for small share of that pro-
lection which is guaranteed by the Re-
publican national platform, he is told
that labor is commodity, and like the
negro on the auction block in the south
before the war, "he is worth what he
will bring"
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1892-10-31

President H. l.. Wayland, D. D., of
Philadelphia, addressed the American
Social Science association at its recent
session on the subject, HAS the State
Abdicated?" He referred to some of the
causes of widespread suffering and
calamity, among them strikes and lock-
outs, leading to great loss to the entire
community, and not seldom to blood
shed and incipient civil war; the over
taxing of railway employees, leading to
accidents; the adulteration of food to
the amount of 800, 900 annually in
America; the accumulation of vast for
tunes in few hands, with a tendency to
a disappearance of the middle class; the
monopoly of great tracts of land not un-
seldom gained by fraud; the coal COM
bine, ETC., and yet the state is silent.
He would have the state, as embody-
ing the entire community, act for the
general welfare and take steps for the
correction of these evils. Objections are
made, This is paternalism; it is social
ISM" But we are too old to be fright
ened by names. But this is destroying
the right of property" No, it may be
disturbing the right of possession, but
not of property, which is a very differ
ent thing. Ones life, his character, his
liberty are his property, but his land
and money are but possessions, and there
is no sacredness about this. Society has
always assumed the right to subordi-
nate the right of possession to the public
| good.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1892-10-31

Like many of its pictures this indicates
the evils rather than the benefits of "pro.
tection." Canada, like the low wage
countries of Europe, has protection. :"
Its duties may not average as high as
ours, but because it has small popula-
ton and limited variety of products,
the pinch of protection" is much more
severe than in our vast Countrywide
greatest free trade country on the globe,
because the productions of the tropical
south can be exchanged freely for those
of the north and there is no custom
house from Maine to California.
If Texas had remained outside of the
United States it would now be un-Amer-
lean to propose free trade with her pau
per labor products. If Canada should
be annexed the Mckinley wall would
come down, trade would certainly be
advantageous to all and wages would
climb few points higher. But it is
wicked to think or talk of such things.
Look at the picture again!

The New York Tribune of Sept. %
says: "Protection has been our policy
for thirty years. All the interests of the
country are adjusted to it"
There seems to be a slight error in this
statement. The interests are adjusting
themselves to it, but the process is not
completed. The census shows that the
farms of the west and south are not yet
all mortgaged, and there are a consider
able number of farms in New England
and the east around our protected home
markets" not yet abandoned.
The adjusting in this line could be con.
tinued two Or three more decades before
all farmers would be tenants of our
millionaire landholders. Neither is the
adjustment perfected in manufacturing
interests. 1t is true that in most cases
manufacturers have formed trusts to
prevent competition and enable them tc
reap the benefits of high duties, but in
q few cases manufacturers have beer
slow to grasp the situation and take ad
vantage of the duty vouchsafed to them
In such cases they actually continue tc
compete with each other, and the con.
sumner sometimes gets goods at the
"cheap" and "nasty" prices prevailing
in Europe. The Mckinley bill is doing
its work better and faster than the old
selniprotective tariff measures, and if
left alone might complete the adjust,
ment by the end of this century.

Social Democrats Did Good Work

DIR. Aveling has written an article for
The Pail Mall Gazette reviewing the
action of the socialists of Hamburg in
the cholera crisis. He points out that at
meeting of the Hamburg chamber of
commerce it was resolved that the best
means for helping the poor was through
the socialist leaders. The doctors, the
police and private individuals followed
the course thus indicated, and the
authorities applied to the socialists to
have distributed quarter Sf million
printed leaflets instructing the people
as to methods of disinfection and of
preventing the spread of the disease.
This distribution was accomplished in
few hours. Four hundred socialists
also penetrated the slums and explained
the leaflets, showing how antidotes for
the cholera should be used, and inspir.
ing hope and courage in others by ex-
hibiting proof of their own.
DR.. Aveling adds that the cholera in
attacking the poorer class of people had
caused great ravages in the ranks of the
socialists. Dispatch.

NOTES FROM BUCHANAN.
Praise for Eugene V. Debs from One Who

Praise for Eugene V. Debs from One Who
Knows Him-PoIitical Printers.
Eugene V. Debs, after many years of
service, has at last retired from the sec
retaryship of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen. Two years ago Mr..
Debs accepted reelection under protest,
and then gave emphatic notice that he
would not serve more than that term,
and preferred to give way to success
or as soon as the executive board could
agree upon one. The order, however.
held Debs to his work, and at the recent
session in Cincinnati he was again unani-
mously reelected for two years. but
this time he made his declination so
positive that the convention was COM
PEELED to accept it.
The record of Eugene V. Debs is un-
paralleled in the history of labor organi-
cations. No man has held so long an
Office in labor organization and been
always so thoroughly the choice of its
members. This is to the credit of the
brotherhood as well as to Mr.. Debs, for
he has been one of the most painstaking
of officials, and that his honesty, energy
and superior ability have been so fully
appreciated speaks well for the good
sense and discrimination of the mem
bers.
Mr.. Debs will continue the editor of
The Firemen's Magazine at the earnest
request of the brotherhood, and it is a
pleasure to know that while the firemen
lose an exceptional official they will still
have their wise counselor, and the labor
cause will not be deprived of champion
whose pen is power in the movement.
A new weekly paper has been estab-
lished in New York by members of the
typographical fraternity. 1t is called
The Printer, and is built somewhat on
the lines of The Union Printer. The
Printer offers as the reason for its ap-
pearance in the field where there was
already a craft journal the claim that
The Union Printer has become an organ
of the Republican party and especially
of the candidacy of Whitelaw Reid. The
new paper will therefore espouse the
other side-the Democratic party and its
candidates.

ciple-bode no good to the cause of labor,
unless it should result in opening the

Suppose it were possible to reverse
the process, and to tax imported labor
80 per cent while admitting the pro-
ducts of labor manufacturers, ETC., free.
Then labor would have real protection
and manufacturers, instead of buying
labor at its par value and selling their
goods at so per cent. premium, would
be compelled to sell goods at par and to
pay 80 per cent. premium for labor.
Do you think this arrangement would
suit the manufacturers? Do you think
they are sincere when they advocate
tariff legislation to make wages higher?
What they want is cheap labor and high
prices for their products. Do you think
they would advocate-yes, and pay for
protection" if they really thought
it raised wages or lowered prices? Look
this question square in the face and for
getting parties and prejudices, ask your
intellect and your conscience what "pro-
lection" In and hsar what they say.

Great wreck-as5, 900 Men Lost.

Immediately upon the appearance of
the report of Labor Commissioner Peck,
announcing that 2S5, 600 workingmen in
New York state had had their wages in
creased an average of twenty three dol
lars a year by the Mckinley bill, the
Utica Observer began search for a
Utica man who had fallen heir to
twenty three dollars worth of McKin-
ley stock. 1t left plenty of space in its
columns, and invited workingmen to
come forward and announce their good
luck. No one came.
The Lockport Union followed the ex-
ample and issued the same invitation.
No answer.
The Rochester Union and Advertiser
searched Rochester, and found no one
of the 2S5, 900 men in that city.
The Oswego Palladium turned the
search light on the workingmen in Os-
wego, and no man with twenty-three
dollars of Mckinley tariff money is dis
covered.
The Albany Argus invited every one
of Peck's army of happy workingmen
residing in Albany to come forward and
tell of it. No one came Then it sent
reporters to the big protected manufac-
tories in Albany and found no one.
Other papers in New York are prose
cutting the search with vigor, but with
no better success. 1t is now feared that
Mr.. Peck's report is total wreck, and
that all of the 2S5,000 men supposed to
have been on board are lost-to the Re-
publican party.

The x-commander-in-ch of the
Grand Army of the Republic, Judge
John P. Rea, of Minnesota, puts stop
to the silly twaddle emanating from Re-
publican quarters that Cleveland is op-
posed to fair and just pension system.
Rea was previously Republican, but
came out last week for Cleveland, and
dares anyone to show him single pen
sion bill vetoed by the ex-president
which was not fraud and undeserved
He tells the old soldiers they owe moth
ing to the Republican party, but its poll
cy is surely running the nation they
helped to save.

Duty less amount of bill. e.

~
Proprietor (biting his lip)-Blast Mr..
McKinley's bill Are you certain there
is no mistake?
Salesman-The duties are complicated,
but the bookkeepers verified every item
by means of the last United States
senate report on rates of duty.
Proprietor-It's an outrage for a rich
nation like the United States to collect
its taxes over here. We were poor
enough on this side of the water before
McKinley's bill reached out after our
last few crumbs If this trade keeps up
must lower your salaries against the
end of the year, for it all comes out of
the laborers in the end. 1t is no wonder
all Europe is groaning since 1890.
Salesman-But surely you are not GO
ing to pay this duty? 1t would be better
to burn your goods rather than to pay
this merchant $1,000 to take them.
Proprietor-Yes, yes; | know. But
we dare not do or say anything against
American protection just now. If we did
the Americans would be told that British
gold was being used to compel them to
adopt free trace, and that would only
convince the foolish voters there that
they were benefited by protection and
make them cling to it all the longer.
Here is my check for So, ,905. Give it to
him and tell him we will always be glad
to have his patronage, but would prefer
of course that he take goods that will
leave balance in our favor after we
have settled with Mckinley.

Mckinley yindicated.

The duty on imported wheat went up
in 1890; the price down in 1899. Duty
on oats up in 1890; price down in 1892
Duty on corn up in 1890; price down in
1899. Duty on horses up in 1890; price
down in 1892. Duty on wool up in 1890;
price down in 1892. Perhaps Mckinley
is right after all, and increased duties
do mean lower prices, but there are
some exceptions, especially in manufac-
tured products.

: in Roanoke will wake to happy pleas
ures of the recurring holidays. The
church bells and music and impressive
ceremonies will commemorate the birth
OF the great Regeneration, the Christ
child, whose coming has changed the
future of mankind.
In Roanoke the sufferers from the
,paugs of poverty are not 80 numerous
that they may not all be cared for. The
Elks have been conspicuous in looking
after the poor and needy. Carloads Of
coal, barrels Of flour, bushels of pota-
toes, hundreds of pounds of turkey and
meat were distributed by dozen teams
all day yesterday, that no person in all
Roanoke should be cold or hungry ON
thatday of all DAYS which mark the
epoch of'the coming brotherhood Of man.
Not the Elks alone, but hundreds of
private citizens took the opportunity
and made up arrears for year of gain.

proclaimed the equality of all men.
