The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1894-08-03

The Boston journal gives some
what lengthy interview with Ex-Sen-
ator Edmunds, who is now at New
port, R. 1. We quote few para
graphs:
"The republican party is firmly sit
uated and is just what it has been.
1t stands for fair and honest elections
the country over, and if we could
have them in the So called confeder-
ate states we would have the House
by nearly as large majority as the
democrats.
"The republican party is as strong
on the question Of protective tariff
as ever, am glad to say, and as !
hope it always will be.
"The republican party favors
honest money, based on both gold
and silver, and based on such weights
for coinage as will make gold and sill.
yer of equal value. The republican
party knows the infinite injury done
the common masses Of the people in
this country and others in putting out
paper money not based on or redeem
able in coin. Every experiment of
this sort has always resulted in csl-
amity which always has and always
will fall on the people least able to
bear it.
81 do not believe that the recent
disturbances in the West are any,
thing more than the ordinary ebulli-
ton of mobs and an exhibition of the
tyrannical power which unions give
their chiefs, and which the latter
sometimes exert to the great damage
of all concerned.
R. G. Horn has very sensible ar
ticle in the N. Y. Tribune i'll reference
to the recent strike. We quote some
of the salient points:
There is no practice more cruel and
outrageous than that of intimidating a
man who seeks to obtain living by
honest labor.
When United States laws are to be
enforced, the United States Govern.
ment is impeded by no State lines and
hampered by no city limits. The only
question then asked is els this action
within the borders of the United StatesY
If so, that is enough. The boundaries
Of cities, counties and States are of nc
moment when one comes to the enforce
ment of United States laws. Those
laws reach every hill, plain and valley
Of this entire nation. The active force.
of the nation itself were something OF
which these injudicious leaders had no
reckoned. They had supposed that s.
long as their illegal acts were within
the limits of some city or State, wher
they had the sympathy of Mayor o
Governor, it would enable them t,
carry on their work without molestation
But the leaders of the strike fount
themselves face to face with the Govern
ment of the United States, as we'll a
with the law-abiding people of this en-
tire nation.
They failed. They failed becaus
they ought to have failed. There wa
no reason or sense in what they attemp
ed to do. Even if the Pullman Con
pany had been entirely in the wrong i
the original controversy, that could i
no way justify the attempt to crippl
business and endanger life throughor
this entire nation. The instance doc
not exist, it never will exist, where til
innocent should be punished for til
sake of reaching somebody else, whetl

If guilty people cannot be reached, it

wrongs committed.
Let it be considered as settled tn,
the people Of the United States belle,
in law and order. The burning
cars, the ditching Of trains, the destru
ton Of innocent lives, will not be tole
ated in this Republic. The compile
establishment of that fact is worth
this Nation all the cost of the expel
ment just made. 1t is now well u
derstood that the business of this Matte

ambitions or whims of egotistical LEAF

they also propose to let others live.
