More Richness.

The Cumberland Ners explains it
this way
The Mills bill was defeated, but its defeat
did not leave coal on the free list. Mr.. Me-
Comas' action was entirely consistent. If
the Mills bill had passed, coal was fully pro-
tected. If it failed, as it did, it left coal pro-
tected under the law it was designed to
supersede. But MIR. Mckags conduct is
entirely different. He proposed an amend
ment protecting coal. The amendment was
rejected leaving him the alternative of vot
ing for or against the naked proposition Of
placing coal on the free list, and lie rotcd to
place il there. That is what Mr. Mckag did,
and there is neither excuse or palliation for
the act.
SO that, after all, it is only another
illustration Of the old adage-''the cir
cumstances alter the cases.
The little matter of principle did not
enter into the affair at all Mr.. Nc
Comas could sound terrifying alarm
of danger to coal make prodigious
demonstration in the act of salvation
save it claim the credit for saving it,
and then about-face md cote against tie
IS cents per ton he had saved
We will let that go, however, for we
want to tie the Ne,rs down to another
deadener. The Ne~s says Mckaig
voted at last "to place coal on
the free list and keep it there" and
there is neither excuse nor palliation
for the act
That would be true if Mckaig did
not represent a large free coal opinion
in Washington, Frederick and Mont
gomery counties as we'll as the dutiable
coal sentiment in Allegany.
But we will let it be true all over.
What, then, will the Netcs do with
the republican Senators who will vote
against even 50 cents per ton on coal ?
What ''eXcuse OF palliation" will let
let them out of the hole the -Ne,rs digs
for McKaig?
Misunderstanding voted for free
coal because it is part of whole the
Senators will vote against even so
cents a ton for exactly the same reason
it is "a part of the whole bill.
Will the fact that the democratic
party has again saved coal be sut-
icient retreat fol Senatorial incon-
sistency as the Netcs assumes it was
for Mr.. McComas incohesive heroics ?

It's in the Blood.

In a speech at DeS MONIES, Iowa,
Sunday last, General Master Work
man Sovereign, of the Noble Order of
North America, said in reference to
the Injunction against him by Judge
Jenkins:
Pm going to Wlnona, Mimi, tonight and
will speak there tomorrow. On Tuesday and
Wednesday shall be in st. Paul and Min
neapolis to talk to the Northern Pacific EN-
ployes, and as sure as there is a God in
Heaven | will violate that injunction Of Judge
Jenkins. 1t is infamous and an outrage on
all worklngmen. He would be poor repre-
sentative of organized labor who would not
have the backbone to do what he pleases
against tins disgrace and would deserve the
condemnation of all honest workingmen.
Who is Judge Jenkins anyhow Simply a
man with soul to damn and body to kick
| fear no courts. If there is United States
Marshal, let him serve his process.
1t used to be said in apology for the
brashness of the little masters around
here that the Noble Order should
not be held accountable for the utter
ances of its local representatives.
But how the Noble Order of North
American knighthood of Telling
Chivalry will excuse Sovereign's dan
gerous outbreak is to be seen.
His travelling around in his rooster
feathers and tall growing from high
places may be overlooked, but no
amount of confessed Ignorance should
plead for him.
Hence, whether Judge Jenkins erred
or not, some other judge should place
Mr.. Sovereign behind lock and key
until he learns to behave.

Somebody please give the real rea

Don't be backward speak out.
Frostburg mining journal. [volume] (Frostburg, Md.) 1871-1913, 1894-03-03
The Injustice of 1t,

When the Mckinley Act was being
constructed there was nothing added
to the duty on coal.
Indeed, all the effort expended in the
matter of coal was to keep 1t off the
free list.
But a great deal was done for e-ery
article manufactured in New England.
Now New England demands free
coal as compensation for being placed
back abont where it was in 1890.
Had coal been advanced in 1890, as
New England goods were, a demand
now to put it back to IS cents would
be reasonable.
But what does any fair minded man
think of New England's demand for
free coal under the present circum-
stances
Will our next county platform
stand by such colossal hoggishness?
The Baltimore SIN says:
Even if coal and iron ore and sugar should
alton by the Senate amendments, the new
tariff will still, from the Mckinley point of
view, give the great bulk of its favors to New
England. The one small State of Rhode
Island will make more out of the Wilson bill.
ecen j coal is not nade free, than all the
Southern States put together
In fact, the Wilson bill gives them
nearly everything they want in the
way of free trade-free cotton, free
wool, and still they are not content
they want free coal
Meanwhile, our miners will pay
Rhode Island about 40 per rent. bonus
on cotton and wooden fabrics and, if
the 50 cent rate goes through, get l6S
per- cent. on coal.
Gentlemen miners, even the Wilson
bill makes you "stand by your home
industries. 1t makes you hand back
to Rhode Island the l6S per cent. the
tariff allows you, aud then another l6S
per cent. block. which it takes out of
your wages; and, not content with
that, it takes another block of 81 per
cent out of your wages.
Worst of ALL it opens your market
for the entry of foreign coal, and
Rhode Island, "by whom you stood"
so nobly last fall, is enabled to en-
courage cut-throat competition which
may drive you to the wall for both
wages and work.
