Where's your eyes-don't you see it
coming right under the door?"
And so it was!
Fortunately, the first speaker knew
where Mr.. Grays brother lived, and
fastening to the place, he told Mr..
William Gray that there appeared to
be something the matter. Within an
hour the front door was unlocked and
deplorable sight was revealed. The
beholders might have said with the
Ancient Mariner, that there was
water, water everywhere" for 1t was
flowing gently down the front stair
way, dripping from the ceilings, and
each floor was full of little pools. All
the carpets had been left on the lower
story, and they had been saturated to
such an extent that the sensation was
that of walking on sponges; from the
parlor walls hung long festoons of rich
velvet paper.
Uncle William, almost raising an
umbrella in his excitement, rushed up
to the third-story bathroom, and there
was n tub overlooking on every side,
and full head eli in the spigot Jacky

at Cape May: Come at once. House

first train and he sent for women with

and carpenters and painters and paper
hangers and upholsterers, and he spent
more than three thousand dollars

shall have to help you guess-he was
twenty-six years old, and weighed one
hundred and sixty pounds; and it was
good thing he was so old and big, for

delphia Record, prIcked the strike bub-
BILE when he issued his dissuasive proc>
laInation. The great mass of the work
sons of the Republic. They have no

There is no country in the world where
there is less reason for labor disorders
than in the United States. The laborer
always holds in his own hand the power
to remedy whatever wrong he may suf-
fer if it be wrong for which there Is any
legal reparation. In the ballot lies the
Gompers, nor Sovereign, nor in strikes.
nor bOycOtts, nor insurrection.
The telegraphic news printed this
morning from all parts of the country
indicates that the body of striking work
ingmen haye resumed possession of their
right minds. The strike is in process of
collapse. Nothing remains but to pick
up the pieces, pay damages, and fall to
work in repairing losses that in the end
will fall heaviest upon labor itself. The
lives lost, the property destroyed, the
shame put upon the nation, make a
heavy accounting; but, even so, if this
experience shall bring to an end the in
sensate folly of attempting to right one
wrong by doing a thOusandfold more
injuries, something will have been
gained.

A HARD nut truth, demonstrated by
the great coal strike now breaking away
before the acceptances of the new scale
of prices, exists in the fact that the tar
iff OF soft coal has not had the least
effect on the pay of the miner Those
who defended the exhorbitant duty and
tax claimed that 1t was necessary for the
protection of the miners and would en-
able the operators to pay American
wages. But the operators have never
done anything of the sort. Instead,
they have added the 10 cents a ton duty
to the customary profit and in no way
allowed the miner to share in the gov
eminent subsidy, not a penny going
into the channels intended. On the
contrary, the operators paid the lowest
wages possible, and now pay the highest
wages simply because they cannot do
otherwise. This tariff picture covers
all other forms of the tariff robbery and
jobbery. Heavily protected employers
of labor take the protection just as they
do the profits from any commercial ven
ture, and the consumer pays the price
the tariff sets as the cost figure of what
he never gets.

FEwpeople have the time, inclination
and opportunity to make study of the
intricate subject of tariff; bu: nearly
every one has a general idea of the diff
ference between free trade and protec-
ton.
The thirteen paragraphs below fur

liams, In the Permann Ledger, Is the
whole subject in nut shell.

tation to save this article:
l. That land and labor are the pri
mary factors in the production of all
wealth, and that without them no
wealth, ever has been or ever can be
produced.
=. That the present population OF the
United States cannot p 'ssibly consume
more than one half the food products
raised in this country, and that a mark

for our surplus products unless we take
in exchange therefor, other products of
equal value from other countries.

go of wheat from us unless we take a

>. That the money of this country is
not money in other countries; it is only
a commodity.
6. That the money of foreign cOun-
tries is not the money in this country;

Z. That tariff for the protection of
American labor does not prevent the
''pauper labor of other countries from
swarming tn our shores and being en-
| plOyed by our protected manufacturers, 5"

Slrikprs Seize II Train

San Francisco, July IS The South
ern Pacific railway company, backed by
the combined military forces of the fed
eral and state governments, continues to
maintain a fairly satisfactory passenger
service in northern California. But not
withstanding this formidable military
array the railroad officials have been un
able to retrieve the lost management OF
their freight business. The passenger
service, too, is by no means restored,
for trains are still side tracked at night
time as precautionary measure against
train wreckerS.
In Oakland, this morning, the strik
ers formed into several rlotous mobs OF
200 or 800 men each. All incoming
and outgoing passenger trains were so
strongly guarded that they were not in

fell upon the section men the strikers

called out to disperse the rioters. Short
ly after noon freight was started from
the yards on the Mole. At the Seventh
street crossing the non union men In
charge found themselves at the mercy of
a mob of strikers. A striker had man
aged to climb aboard and cut the air
brake. The train was stalled and the
rioters, who were soon swarming about,
had drawn all the coupling pins. Then
a troop of cavalry and a company of in
fantry came down upon the mob.

IL Pennsylvania in 1898 there were
53 labor strikes of more or less magni-
tude, which was twice the number of
the preceding year. The strikers were
successful in but one instance. The
moral is, don't strike on falling mark
ct, when business is dull and prices are
declining. OF the SO strikes only six
were for an increase of wages, while 81
were against reductions in wages. The
chief of the bureau of statistics at Har-
risburg estimates the loss of wages by
the strikes to have been 81, ,S95, 423.
