What We Vote For.
Texas Siftings says:

Texas Siftings says:
The addresses made to the people of Texas
in behalf of the national democracy by Judge
Eldredge are model campaign speeches.
They are eloquent, logical and concise, and
are seasoned with the Attic salt of humor.
He alternately yields the sledge-hammer of
argument and the long lance of ridicule and
satire. In speech recently made at Waxa-
hachie he said:
Socialism cannot succeed its history and
its death are wrapped up together. 1t is said
that when mosquito gets full he goes of
and dies. | don't know whether that is so,
but hope IT is, have that much malice
against him. Laughter.) And 1 tell you
that whenever socialism gets what it wants,
then it is dead. 1t will be like the apples of
Sodom on the Dead Subdivisions to look
upon, but turning to ashes on the lips.
Whenever you take out of a mans life the
right to own property and to bequeath it to his
children, right then you take the handspring
out of the watch. There would be no more
cities built, farms opened, ships cross the
ocean, ifa man could not own what he
works for and bequeath it to his children.
(Applause.) Why, stagnation and death
would take the place of the busy life OF to-
day.
The same gentleman, speaking at
Sherman, Texas, June %, to the
farmers, said:
1t is not only the candidate and the dem
agogue of the country that are making the
farmer prejudiced but it is the newspapers
also that are doing it. Do you know that a
majority of the newspapers in this country
are run strictly on your prejudices? They
dare not tell you the truth. Why? Because
your preudices are SO great you would not
allowit. If they did tell you the truth you
would stop taking their papers and starve
them and their wives and children to death.
A newspaper editor ought to be the ablest
man in the land and the most honest, be-
cause he has more influence than all the
preachers in the community. But he cannot
be when you will not let him be. Some
times think there ought to be but one news
paper editor in a county and he ought to
have the office for life at good salary, and
then make him give bond in the sum of one
hundred thousand dollars, conditioned that
he will not be demagOgue and that he will
tell the truth, instead of trying to fool the
farmers and live on their prejudices.
There is great deal of truth in
that, aud miners, as we'll as farmers,
are guilty.
If we want to be hattered as think
ing men," we buy one-slded news
paper to do the job for us.
# we want to be ''taffied" as Sin
telligent men, we hire it to impose
Munchausenlsms upon us.
And if we want to be "blarneyed''
as ''fair-minded men," we purchase the
one that most appeals to our prejudices.
Then we go the polls and vote-not
so much the newspapers sentiments
as its overpowering itch to get or keep
its party in power.

Minority Rule

Suppose there was an organization
OF thirteen men, bound together for
labor. business and commercial ad-
vancement.
Suppose four should succeed in con-
vincing the other nine that the object
OF the association could only be reach
ed by the whole thirteen taking care
of the four.
There would then be four protected
members and nine unprotected.
One of the four is factory man,
another sugar refiner, another a tin
platter and the fourth is lumberman.
All of the nine are tillers of the soil.
The four then go to work and make
the laws for the association.
Statute No. l compels the nine to
buy their clothes of the factor; No.
compels the nine to buy all their
sweetness from the refner No. 3
compels the nine to cover their houses
with tin bought only from the platter,
after No. / had compelled the nine to
buy the lumber for these houses from
the lumberman.
Now, what are the resources of the
miner

nuke to the four.
The result is-each of the four has
nine customers, while the nine have tC

and nine millions in the unprotected

and nine millions in the unprotected
pursuits.
And still, if the masters of the four
millions are to be believed, the welfare
of the four millions at the expense of
the nine millions is the one and only
condition that will save the country
from the bowwows.
That is to say-that in order to pro-
tect labor, encourage capital and boom
things, we must still make the nine
men feed. clothe and house not only
themselves, but the four other mem
bers of their association.
In society of thirteen individuals
such state of affairs, seen and felt,
would not stand long enough to be
knocked down.

An Illustration that Does Not
Illustrate.

The Cumberland Ne,os published a
brick story the other week like this:
Place one hundred bricks on end in a row
six inches apart and there will be distance
of about sixty feet between the end bricks.
Push one of the end bricks oyer against its
neighbor, and every brick will go down.
The Nens then argues that
The installation ct the democratic party in
power knocked over the first brick, and as a
matter of course 1t was indirectly the cause
Of the general crash and the consequent re-
duction Of wages.
That is just where the consistency
of the Ne,cs' story collapses.
Several bricks had fallen over be-
fore the democrats got in.
In fact, Mckinley was the man who
toppled over the first brick.
Hence, the Ne,os grossly errs in
saying
Now, tell the Frostburg JOURNAL that the
topping over of the first brick caused the
last brick, sixty feet away, to fall, and that
paper will say it is no such thing. 1t will
declare it was caused by the wind or the
tariff or impute it to anything but the real
cause.-the fall of the first brick.
One of the bricks, the Ne,cs says.
was the wages of the miners in this
county.
If that be true, what toppled over
the Homestead brick
Or, coming nearer home, why did
not the miners say 1T was the tariff
they struck against? Why did they
they say they struck in sympathy with
the miners who are not and cannot be
protected-in fact, with miners who
said they wanted to reduce the stock
of coal a1reaay dug for export to a
country where tariff is not an issue9
Gentlemen, tariff reduction or not,
wages reduction had to come. Goals
70 cents ton would not have saved
wages a cent more than 81 bushel
tariff would add cent to the price of
wheat.

A Safe Platform,

The true defence to make for a
proper tariff on coal is its o,on merits.
l, 1t is not a raw material-except
for destruction, in which sense it is an
absurdity-no matter what the courts
declare. The courts can no more
distort physical nomenclature than
they can overturn a rule of grammar
=, The market which gives this re-
gion its employment lies for the most
part in New England. an outpost of
the country particularly exposed to
the invasion of foreign coal. If it is
right to take that market from our
labor and give it to foreign labor, then
government fails to exercise its benef-
icent functions so far as we are con-
cerned.
3, OF no other commodity than coal
can it be said that it is mot a raw
material" and no other in the entire
country depends almost wholly upon a
single section of the country for its
existence and prosperity.
These positions, honestly taken,
strictly adhered to and forcibly pre-
sented, constitute Goals only true
platform.
To herd it on general principles with
corn, which needs no protection. is to
degrade its status and imperil its life
"a policy no better than that of
the Knights of Labor, which lifts up
the undeserving by pulling down the
meritorious.
And it is equally irrational and i'm
polite to expect that those only are
the special saviors of coal who made
hides, sauer kraut, raw sugar and
''manufactured'' dog free.
To howl for high protection for coal
pellmell with high protection for any
thing and everything is undiluted
swashbucklerism, whether in politics
or journalism.

But if arbitration will not remedy

Your correspondents suggestion
that the State put the thousands of
idle men on farms is all right, but
would it ameliorate the condition of

from the very fact that the agricultural
class is only making ends meet at the

A Voice from Nova Scotia.

Hon. H. F. McDougall, M. p, of
Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, said to a
special correspondent of the Baltimore
American one day last week.
You people down in the States were dread
fully excited over the question of admitting
free coal into your country. 1t was very
small thing to get disturbed about. We are
not prepared to supply our own trade, and
you import two millions tons of your coal
into Canada at Montreal and west to supply
our own consumers. II Your people
seem to be afraid we will deprive you of your
market in Boston and the New England
States. How preposterous that is, Why,
last year we only exported $4,000 tons into
the United States, etc.
That may be all correct, Mr.. Nc
Dougall, but if Mr.. Williams is ell, cted
we shall expect him to keep at least
that 40 cents duty on foreign coal, and
if Mr.. Wellington is elected we shall
be immensely disappointed if he does
not restore it to IS cents.
In fact, according to the arithmetic
OF strict Mckinleyism, Mr.. Wellington
should be placed under bond to put
that duty up to $2.l5 per ton
But if Mr.. Wellington is defeated
and coal is made free, coal is still safe
under his pledge if the doctrine of
protection is worth the paper it is
written on.
He will owe it to those who vote for
him in this region TO go at once to
New England and stay there until he
has compelled that section to buy as
it votes.
If he succeeds in that, he will have
achieved two things that will make his
name immortal
|, He will have saved coal in spite
Of free trade, aud
:, He will have proved that, after
all, protection does protect.

BROOKLYN, June 1.-THE Rev. DR..
Talmage, who is now on his round the
world journey, has selected as the subject
for his sermon through the press today
''Another Chance" the text being taken
from Ecclesiastes XII. 5, IF the tree fall
toward the sOdth or toward the north, in
the place where the tree falleth there it
shall be-"
There is a lowering hope in the minds
of a vast multitude that there will be an
opportunity in the next world TO correct
abe mistakes Of this; that if we do make
complete shipwreck Of our earthly life it
will be on a shore. up which we may walk
70 q palace; that, as a defendant may lose
his case in the circuit court and carry it
up to the supreme court or court of chan
Gerry and get a reversal of judgment in his
behalf, all the costs being thrown over on
the other party, so if we fail in the earthly
trial we may in the higher jurisdiction of
eternity have the judgment Of the lower
court set aside, all the costs RENTED, and
we may be victorious defendants forever.

that such an expectation is chimericaL
