A grain of truth is worth bushel
of chat. Here is one: The excess
ofexports from this country during
the past eight months over imports
has been over 5000, 100000. Dur.
ing a corresponding period last
year this excess was less thanS3O,
100000. Will Republican calamity
howlers, who would have the peo-
pie believe that the industries OF
the country are being ruined, and
all tho mills and factories shut up
or shut down please note this fact
and ponder it well. The greatest
seasons of well-grounded prosperity
this country has ever seen (not that
prosperity of imitation or undue
stimulation through high tariffs
has been during Democratic admin
istrations and the rule will be fol-
Owed under the present Democratic
administration, in spite of combined
efforts of Republican politicians and
Republican business men to make
people believe that there is nothing
doing, ard that the country is going
to the dogs.

An effort that should not receive
the support Of a single Congressman
is being made to pass bill to in-
crease newspaper postage from one
cent pound to eight cents pound.
This is double what the paper costs
on which newspapers are printed.
IF such bill was to become a law
nearly every county paper would
have to increase the prices of their
papers to double what they are
now, or suspend publication al
together. 1t would be an outrage
upon the newspapers as well as upon
the public. 1t should be the policy
of the government to cheaper the
postage on newspapers instead of
increasing it. The Congressman
or Senator who votes for such
a bill as is proposed, would hardly
be returned to his seat again.

"Johnny, get your guul" seems
to be the cry in the turbulent sec
ton north of the Ohio.
A number of farmers in Columbi-
ana county, Ohio, are under the inn
preston that the accounts of their
county officials are not altogether
straight, and the discontinued cit
liens are organizing a brigade
armed with rifles to march on the
courthouse.
AS there seems to be general
paralysis of law in that part of the
country, the threatened county
officials will have to take care OF
themselves. Under the circum-
stances we do not see what they
can do, 1t is now in order for
them to loot the treasury and skip.
If they remain the farmers may try
them by a drumhead courtmartial
and cause them to be shot.

Republican high tariff laws have
marked the periods when greatest
business depression and panic swept
over this country. High tariff was
in force during the panic of 1873,
which lasted five years. High
tariff was law when the Pittsburg
riots of 1877, and the coke riots OF
q few years later, shocked the
country. The terrible times at
Homestead, during July, 1892, oc-
CURED within two years after the
passage of the Mckinley law, which
it was predicted would bring
wealth and happiness to the labor
of this country. Hundreds of lives
were sacrificed, and millions OF
dollars worth of property were de-
stroyed during the operation OF
laws which all true Democrats are
now trying to repeal. The history
of this country cannot furnish a
parallel to the disastrous labor dis
turbances which swept over this
country from 1877 to 1894, when
Republican laws, which robbed labor
for the benefit of capital, were in
force. We are now under Republi-
can laws, and they are responsible
for present conditions.-Bu'Iettn.

Possibly Mcbride may recede from his
position, in which case an adjustment
will be reached in the near future. But
in any event the operators will take
prompt and vigorous action aud get their

Now the tariff on potatoes is %

The REGISTER Is in hearty sym
patty with the underpaid coal miner.
He is about the poorest paid laborer
in the country and his work the
hardest. He has been forced down
by INSCRIPTIONS operators until he
often can not make a living, no
matter how hard he may work, at
the wages he receives. He ought
to have better pay and the REGIS
TER would like to see him get it.
But the West Virginia miners
should not be called upon to help
tho other miners in their demands
for better pay. No one has ever
yet helped them increase their
wages, but on the contrary the re-
duction of their pay has been the
result of competition in other dis
tricts. Railroad discrimination
against the West Virginia opera
tors has enabled those of other
States to undersell them, and the
West Virginia miners had to take
reduced pay or get none. No help
has ever come to them from men in
other States. They have been left
to shift entirely for themselves, and
that is what every one of them
should do under present circum-
stances.

him for having introduced in the senate

said, introduced no s1ch bill. He has
introduceda bill to protect the United
States mail, but he had no intention of
having it apply, directly or Indirectly, to
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers, or any other combination of la
borers. He recognized that labor had
It's rights as well as capital or corpora
tons.
Having served his apprenticeship to
the printers trade he had never seen the
day when he did not sympathize with
laborfng people of this country. He
recognized that they mad right to
organize to protect their interests and to
advance their material condition of life.
He also recognized that capital had
rights as well as labor. He recognized
that labor organization had right to
direct the members of its order to dis
continue work. But he did not recog-
nize that it had any right to interfere
with the rights of other laborers if they
saw fit to go to work. Laborers had a
perfect right. under the. laws, to obtain
redress of their grievances.

He says that the United States

permanent tablets the lines, posi-
tions, and evolutions of every COM
mand on both sides in the battle,
and the commission has requested
him, as its Confederate member, to
give special attention to verifying
points and details on the Confede-

as a general thing who realize that
there is nothing to be gained by
force or rioting. The "hobos," the
buns, Poles and cheap class of
foreign labor, imported to take the
place of American labor are the men
who are causing the trouble. 1t is
high protection for the manufaotur-

in labor that has brought distress
