RE PUBLICAN HYPOCRISY

The attempt of the Republican press
throughout the country TO belittle the
workmen at Homestead and palliate
the egregious crime of the Carnegie
Company in importing an armed body
of men into the State of Pennsylvania
for the purpose of menacing its locked
out employees, and protecting" prop
erty 1t pays the State to protect, is ludi'
crous in tue extreme.
1t shows what desperate measures
and specious arguments such papers are
compelled to use In order to hoodwink
the wage-earners and stem the tide
that has set In against the Republican
party on account of its protective pol
lev since the Homestead trouble began.
The object of the Republican press is
Transparent. 1t is to shield Carnegie,
saddle all the responsibility on the men
and conceal the real cause of the trouble
too much protection for Carnegie and
not enough for his employees. This Is
the substance of the case in nutshell
But 1t will not work. The American
laborer is too intelligent and well read
to be deceived by such superficial argu.
ments, and is also too familiar with the
hypocrisy of the Republican press to
take very much stock In the Pecksnlf-
fan cant that fills its columns every
Presidential campaign.
The Carnegie people had no more
right to bring body OF men IN the
state of Pennsylvania and arm them
than private individual had, and
when they did so they vio-
lated the statutes of the common
wealth aud were therefore the first
transgressors of the law of the land
This fact is patent to all unprej ldiced
readers of the reports from Homestead

THE iron and steel industry is un'
doubtedly the greatest beneficiary in
the list of protected industries for which
the Mckinley tariff was especially de-
signed. 1t ought, therefore, under the
"blessing" of eXtravagant protection,
to be the most prosperous and its oper.
atives the best satisfied. Instead of
this it is the most wretched, and there
is more discomfort among its operatives
than in any class of wage eaTners,
except, perhaps, the coal miners. The
conditions which prevail in the iron
and steel mills of Pennsylvania today
refute every argument made in support
of the Mckinley bill.
With these mills idle, while presi-
Dental campaign is impending, and
with thousands of workingmen thrown
out of employment and confronted
with starvation, the Republican orators
will go upon the stump and preach the
false gospel of protection with unabat-
ed ardor. Nothing could better illus
trate the hypocrisy and dishonesty of
the Republican party. Posing as the
friend of labor, its commits its greatest
crimes under the pretense that 1t is
seeking to benefit the wage Garner

THE MILITIA CALLED OUT.

Gov. Pattison, of Pennsylvania, has
called upon the state militia to preserve
order and protect life and property at
Homestead.
The threatened invasion by another
armed body of Plnkerton hirelings was
probably what convinced the Governor
that the sheriff off Allegheny county
could not control the workmen If they
were again menaced by the Pinker.
tons. In doing this Governor Patti
son has demonstrated his good sense
and judgment.
There will be no conflict with the
militia. The workmen have taken is
sue with Carnegie and his imported
thugs but have no quarrel with the
state authorities. Interesting devel-
opments, however, may be looked fol
soon.

w. !. SQUIRE.

When calling the Republican ratifica-
tion meeting in Toledo to order last
Friday night, w. |. Squire, the motor
ious president of the State League of
Republican clubs, made remark
that will brand him forever as brutal
and fanatical partisan of the most dan
gerous species.
Because there happened to be fire
in another part of Toledo when the
meeting assembled, Squire said, as he
pointed in the direction of the blaze,
at looks as if Democratic incendiary
had attempted to get up a counter at
traction over there"
Such fellows as Squire should be
suppressed, but as long as Harrison
and Carnegie are in power they never
will be,

cARNEGIE'S EXCITEMENT.

A cablegram from Scotland, where
Carnegie is sojourning in one of the
baronial castles purchased with the
money he made through protection and
by grinding down American workmen,
says that he is excited. He naturally
would be when confronted with con-
dition and not protective theory.
1t is not because his property is en-
dangered, however, that he is excited
Nay, nay, but because he forsees that
the Homestead expose of his methods
and the fallacy of protection will in
evitably be followed by an uprising OF
deluded voters and the overthrow OF
the system that has enabled him to
amass millions upon millions of dollars
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1892-07-14

THE Leader, as might be expected,
makes an attack upon Gov. Pattison of
Pennsylvania because he did not call
out the militia to sustain the Pinker-
ton detectives at Homestead yesterday.
Why did not Carnegie think of the
militia before he started his armed
Pnkertons down to Homestead on a
gun boat. And let us ask, what right
han the owner of mill to put up a
private arsenal and keep body of
armed men under pay, outside of the
laws. All good citizens will say that
private property must be protected, but
what right has private citizen, even
ifhe Is worth $300Oo,0o0, to set himself

peaceful country like ours.

TWO PROPHETS.

Two years ago Major Mckinley pre-
dicted that his new tariff bill would
create a prosperity In this country un-
surpassed in the entire history of the
country.
At the same time Hon. Frank Hurd
of Toledo predicted that the Mckinley
bill would prostrate business, reduce
the wages of labor and very likely
create riots aud bloodshed Read the
reports from Homestead, and answer
us, which is the false prophet and
which is the true.
Shoot the robber tariff.
Vote for Grover Cleveland.

FOOLING THE FARMERS,

Wall street is not alarmed because
the Republican Senate has passed "a
Stree silver" bill. 1t understands that
it is merely a bit of buncombe to
placate the Republican farmers of the
west and keep them from voting the
Peoples ticket. 1t will not be signed
by the President, but the farmer will
be fooled as usual.-[New York World.
Not necessarily. The farmers, like
the workmen, have been fooled so often
by the Republican party that they are
on their guard this year and the dissat-
isfed ones, of whom there are thous
ands, will vote for either Cleveland or
Weaver.
The "grand old party" can fool some
of them all the time and all of them
some of the time, but 1t can't fool all
of them all the time.

tion was based upon the sentiment that

REPUBLICAN "ENTHUSIASM. "

The President cannot feel highly
gratifed over the news from Toledo
An attempt was recently made to hold
grand mass meeting there for the
purpose OF ratifying the Minneapolis
nominations, but it fizzled out. Only
about dozen people were present and
the meeting was indefinitely postponed
on account of the inclement weather.
There are several federal office hold
ers in Toledo, but they did not put in
an appearance on this particular occa-
sion. This is fair sample of Repub,
lican enthusiasm" in Ohio in particu-
lar and the country in general.

FUSION is now the plan in Iowa, and
Gen. Weaver is said to be In it. Gen.
Weaver lives in Iowa, and he is anxious
to capture the electoral vote of the
State for the Peoples party. A plan is
now on foot to have the Democrats en-
dorse the Peoples party electoral ticket,
and then have the Peoples party recip-
rocate with the endorsement of the
Democratic State and Congressional
tickets. This is called Reciprocity, and
it looks very catchy.

THE SILVER QUESTION

The Republican papers that foI
months past have been bowling about

into their several holes since the Re-
publican Senate passed free coinage

fully silent on the silver question. II

The esteemed Norfolk Landmark says
that unless the forests are preserved we
shall have great floods in this country,
and explains the cause of the wonderful
floods in the west this year, as due to
the fact that trees have been cut down.
In all that Countrywide northwest,
where the floods have been the greatest,
there are more trees to-day than there
have been for a thousand years.
The settlers along the Missouri river,
where millions of dollars worth of prop
erty has been destroyed, have for thirty
years been engaged in planting trees in
order to obtain moisture. Experience on
those sandy wastes proves that trees will
bring rain, while COLONEL MURRAY wants
US to believe that trees will prevent it.

speech at Asheville, EX-JUDGE JAMES Ii.

uuire an outlay of 100000 100000 by the
government to purchase the railroads.

wing from the operation of the same gross
receipts amounting to 81 ,Q6O, 00O.-State

The Chronicle is purposely blind or
stupidity ignorant. Suppose the rail
roads cost forty times what MERRIMoN
estimates? What difference would that
make' Suppose l go to a store and

money.
