Home Again.

1t is evident that Maj. Glib on--a
colonel in Kentucky, is not "Mul-
berry Sellers at home. The Louisville
Critic of Sunday says of him:
Col. Moses Gibson one of the most genial
and entertaining of men, is again in the city,
after an absence of year or more, during
which time he resided in Maryland Col.
Gibson Is looking well and is as full of VIM

had occasion to be on different sides during a
late lamented political contest in this city,
but that Is now thing of the past and this
paper extends to him the very heartlest wei.
come and the assurance of its continued
esteem. Col Gibson will perhaps not engage
in the campaign, actively but he has not lost
his interest in municipal affairs.
The Major is really an old Virginia
Tuckahoe-one of a lace of men and
women famed in the annals of chivalry
and beauty. In blood, instinct and
cultivation, therefore, he scars as far
above the Mulberry Sellers model
of economist rs does the meek spirit of
the Golden Rule above the presump
tious selfishness of high protection.

Exploded Again.

If all the high protection stories are
like the Peppeiill mills scare the old
fad is in bad way. The Coal Trade
Journal punctures 1t in this style:
In our issue of September 10, page 5S3, was
an item in regard to the delivery of cargo
of Nova Scotia coal at Biddeford, Me.
AS was stated by us at the time, the coal,
judged by the price at which it was said to
have been delivered, was not ofgood quality.
1t now appears that it consisted of 100 tons
of culm, for an electric light concern, on
which there is duty of Is cents per ton, and
was not regular bituminous coal, on which
duty of 40 cents per ton is collected.
The supply ofcoal to the Pepperill mills, for
which the local paper said this Nova Scotia
stuff was, has always been in the hands of
the Maryland Coal company, supplying
Georges Creek coal.
Will those papers who endeavored to give
the original item-a political twist please take
notice of this?
No, they w,nt.
For it doesn't suit their purpose.
Frostburg mining journal. [volume] (Frostburg, Md.) 1871-1913, 1894-10-13
Another Story.

Last week the Cumberland Ne,os
published scare editorial based on
the Nova Scotia importation to the
Biddeford mills.
And it aired its superior knowledge
of the coal business by printing this
comment:
And yet the Frostburg JOURNAL and Mr..
Moses Gibson, and all the remainder of the
Mulberry Sellers tribe tell us that the compe-
tition of Nova Scotia coal lsa business impos-
siblity.
The JOURNAL expressed at the time
its skepticism of the figures given.
And now comes along the New York
Engineering and Mining Journal, which
does know something, and says:
Some misleading items have been going
the rounds of the press in reference to
the invasion of New England by Nova
Scotia COAL. Thus 1t was said that such coal
was being supplied to the Pepperill Mills, near
producers who supply those mills that the
latter are getting no Nova Scotia coal. The
story probably owes its birth to the fact that
the York Light and Heat company, of Saco,
Maine, bought small cargo, some 100 tons,
OF Nova Scotia culm, on which theirs is
duty OF 10 cents per ton, instead of 40 cents,
which is the duty on bitunlinous coal.
The JOURNAL would like to know
now what "local paper" it was mis-
took "culm'' for coal, "15 cents" for
40 cents, and so on!
That paper said, too
The coal free on board costs at Nova Scotia
50 cents, while Pennsylvania coal costs S2.25.
But the New York authority meets
that with this:
1t is well known that no Nova Scotia coal
can possibly be mined at even double the
present cost OF mining at Pocahontas and on
the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad. The
prices now paid for coal on the cars in the
Pocahontas field is u! cents per ton, and
this leaves moderate profit and there are
mines on the Chesapeake and Ohio that re-
celve much less than that and make money.
And as though there should be no
mistake about it, the paper quoted
concludes
Nova Scotia coal can never become a serious
competitor in our markets, eyen j there mere
no import duty on IL, owing partly to the high
cost OF mining 1t, to the high freightS on it,
and partly to its inferior quality as a fuel.
The JOURNAL, however, believes
firmly that
l, The duty on coal should have re-
manned at rs cents 3
2, That it should not now be lowered
below 40 cents.
Because
l, The coal interests and coal labor,
especially of the cis-Alleghany regions,
unlike any other whatever, should
enjoy all the governmental favor that
exhaustion of mineral values and work
can claim.
2, Government needs no revenue
from fuel, and
3, To compel the protectionlsts of
New England to be as consistent and
patriotic as the Nesos and its protec-
zionist readers profess to be.

Sugar.

The Cumberland Ne,cs defended
cheap sugar under the Mckinley Act,
and charged that the new Act had
raised the price.
1t is proven, however, that the Act
is not guilty. Sugar was advanced by
the retailers in anticipation of whole
sale rise.
But sugar is cent pound cheaper
wholesale now than year ago, which
ought to mean saving to the people
of the country of 100000 day.
Even Sugar Trust shares-at 100
under the Mckinley Act, are now IS
"a fall of % per cent.
Moreover, If the same amount of
foreign sugar comes in this AS last
year the Treasury will get the forty
millions of dollars which, under the
Mckinley Act, going into Trust
pockets, made the Trust shares worth
100, instead of IS.
High protection papers, however,
have so misrepresented the facts and
probabilities that the people are paying
the retailers at least 100000 day
more than necessary for sugar.
And the moral of it all the way
through is-the high protection press,
from whom the retailers took their
cue, is the most destructive institution
the American people has on its hands
to-day.
1t is the car of Juggernaut, grinding
into the dust with its devotees even
all who do not fall down before the
Vlshnu of McKinleyism.

According to high protection advices
the new tariff law is closing up factories
and playing the mischief generally.
And yet it's average of duties is 5
per cent. abooe that of the Allison bill.
And coal was on the free list of the
Allison bill.
And Mr.. Allison is the strongest
man the high protectionists can put up
for the Presidency.

Reaction.


When Cardinal Gibbons discussed
the trade union upon the premise
that
Corporations combine, and it is quite
natural for the laboring men to follow their
example
the JOURNAL felt that he was plac-
ing 1.-THE cart before the horse" and
now the New York Sun confirms the
impression. The Sun says:
This way of putting it doubtless sprung
from the speakers noted interest in men
habitually classified as laborers but it is not
calculated to leave an audience with Just
understanding Of the question. 1t holds the
laboring men up to their own eyes, as driven
to organize because of previous organization
formed by their employers; and this picture
is altogether imaginary. The first union was
that of the wage earners, and the union Of
corporations, or of capital, or of employers.
is much later development.
Looking no farther outward than this
region and no farther backward than
1882, it is known of men in interest
that the Knights of Labor provoked
by their antics in that year the forma-
ton of the Seaboard Steam Coal AS
sociation-a self-defensive league
whose constitution made the integrity
of all future contracts dependent upon
the behavior of the miners.
In other words, the situation was
arranged so that all future strikes
should be-not against employers, but
against the consumers.
1t is quite certain, therefore, that
but for the organized effort of labor to
capture from the owners of this re-
gion the control of their property,
there would be no Seaboard Steam
Coal Association to-day.
The Sun closes its very interesting
observations with the following peril
nent paragraph:
In discussing labor matters, any slip is to
be deprecated greatly which strengthens the
professional agitator's deceptive rant that on
every occasion and under all circumstances
the laboring men are the victims of depression,
walking constantly in paths where they are
compelled to walk by the hostile and more
powerful force of capital.

that no matter how the election goes
business is going to pick up quickly

certain political ends for the country,

Another thing-remember that you

howlers say you are.
For if you were to take their word
for it and go on a strike, they would
be right alongside the Journal in

Out of its Own Mouth.

The Cumberland Neacs thinks that
Editor Johnston, in forsaking the law for
journalism, has not kept up with the trend
of undemocratic Interpretation by democratic
courts of democrat reses.
Then, in a very long but clear SEN
tence, the Ne,os shows that, although
1.-The General Assembly of Maryland
of 1917, and as late as 1S7S,;' in the
opinion OF the Court of Appeals, "said
that coal, mined and delivered, was
raw MATERIAL" the Court also held
that its producer was entitled to pro-
lection not g,cem to many Others.
The Nens PROBES, therefore, all that
Mr.. Johnston and the JOURNAL con-
tend for.
But "undemocratic Interpretation
by democratic courts OF democratic
heresies" is a statement which, falling
under that implacable rule of grammar
which declares that "two negatives in
the same sentence are equivalent to an
Affirmative" settles beyond contro-
versy one of two alternatives
l. That free raw materials" are
''undemocratic," or
3, If democratic, they are "demo-
cratic heresy."
Can anybody tell now what the Neaos
is criticising?

be al .fat liz either law or journalism.

Workingmen, don't you know that when
ever prices are on downward tendency
labor takes the lead.-Cumberland News.
No, workingmen, you do not "knoao"
that.
Carroll ID. Wright. the best inform
ed labor authority in the world, after
citing figures, gives the following as
'the inevitable conclusion"-
that whenever the prices of commodities
rise, they rise higher, relatively than does
the price of labor, and that when the prices
lower, relatively, than does the price of labor,
which,
not only does not "take the lead,"
but
remains ordinarily very nearly at its in
flated price.
Mr.. Wright speaks of this conclusion
elsewhere as not only positive" but
absolute"
But the News' unqualified appeal
should enjoy "free course to run and
be glorified."
Hence, let us apply its own test to
another of its contentious:
We all know from the Necs that
high protection cheapens commodities,
notably sugar.
Hence, "workingmen, don't you
h"o~ that ~henecer" high protection
starts "prices on a downward ten
dency, labor takes the had9"
