The inability or unwillingness of work.
ingmen to recognize the position which
they assume when they go on strike makes
it necessary to iterate and reiterate the
ethics of the question. These are embodied
in two propositions. First. the right Of ev
cry man, peremptorily and absolutely, to
quit any work or throw up any job TO
which he is not bound by contract is I'M
to create a species of slavery which could
not be tolerated. No man in this country
can be compelled to remain in the service
of an employer, or under a foreman, whom
he dislikes, to accept wages that he consid-
ers inadequate for his labor, to work
longer hours than he Is willing to. For
In short he may strike. either personally
or along with others, individual
as a member of an organization. of his own
motion or subject to orders. The right to
strike is as unquestionable as the right to
breathe.
Second, the right to strike means nothing
a man quits work or refuses TO obey the
orders of his employer he violates his con-
tract and ends his employment. From that
moment he has no fur,her claim on his en-
ployer except for back pay that
may be due him, no right to
NEEDLE with his business or be
upon his premises, no right to interfere
with any arrangements his late employer
may make for carrying on his business,
and no right to attempt to prevent by force
any other person from taking up the job
he has laid down. Striking raises no new
obligations and confers no new rights. On
the contrary, ii ends all previous relations.
AS long as an employee obeys orders he has
some claim on his employer; the moment
he strikes he ceases to have any and be-
comes a trespasser in the eye of the law
IL he lays a finger on piece of his late
employers property, or sets foot upon his
premises without permission.
These plain principles comprehend the
whole ethics of strikes. They are funda-
mental principles, and must be recognized
and submitted TO 1t is absurd for work
ingmen to suppose that they can break
them down. The people win not submit to
IL. The whole is greater than a part and
the people at large will not tolerate the
idea of any organization or any class run
ming the country.

The Pennsylvania Democratic platform
'deplores, condemns and deprecates'' every
thing in sight except President Cleveland
When the President is reached. all of the
pent-up flood of admiration is poured. of
which the following is sample:
We declare that the consistent, coura-
geous and infiexible determination of a DEM
ocratic President TO maintain the credit OF
the government terminated a financial
panic, restored confidence and composed
disturbed values.
If one did not know that the above was
prepared by the Cleveland dispenser of
patronage in Pennsylvania, he would con-
clude with Nasty that 1t was intended to
be "sarkasm." Composed disturbed val
ues'' Is excellent. When man is thor
oughly and Systematically killed by every
sort Of continuance for killing. he may be
said to be composed" and so Of values.
Webster defines composed" as calm,
quiet" and if there Is any one thing in
the world that is calm and quiet" it is
the Democratic platform makers in Penn
sylvania, Is due to the consistent, cour-
ageous and inhexible determination of a
Democratic President" And the Demo-
cratic platform speaks the truth as to the
cause of the death-like calmness of values.
AS the conference committee to which
the patchwork tariff bill will soon be COM
mitted will hardly be able to agree on
report that will be approved by both
houses, perhaps it could not do better than
report the following from the Democratic
national platform of 1872:
Recognizing that there are in our midst
honest, but irreconcilable, differences of
opinion with regard to the respective sys-
tens of protection and free trade. we re-
nit the discussion of the subject to the
people in their congressional districts, and
to the decision of the Congress thereon,
wholly free from executive Interference or
dctation.
AS this was Democratic doctrine in 1872
it may be called time-honored, and certain
ly there never was a more suitable time
to remit the tariff question to the people
than the present, when Congress and the
President are VIGOROUSLY disappearing

tee will report in favor of and Congress

ton of the subject, it will set the wheels
