The Better Way.

In speech at Harrisburg, Pa, one
day last week Eugene V. Debs, labor
magnate of the railroad genus, said:
don't take much stock in what they call
labor leaders. In the past workingmen have
been following others and thinking by
proxy. Now let them do their own thinking.
That is the JOURNALS platform
exactly.
In other words, as first proclaimed
by the JOURNAL
Let every man be his oun Knight Of
Labor!
This plan bears down pretty hard
on men like John Mcbride, W. B.
Wilson ard some few locals, now ex-
tinct as celebrities, but it is the true
plan.
Under this system each man gets
paid according to his own merits.
He will gain nothing from some
body else's superior qualifications and
qualities, nor lose anything on account
of other peoples dement's.

A prOba bility.

The tariff Act became a law August
2S-just p days before Mr.. treasurer
Thompson. of the Blackwater COM
pary, writes that
We are not able to compete in the seaboafd
cities with spruce lumber from the Provinces
Mr.. Thong son is entirely too pre-
vious.
No lumber in from 1.-THE Provinces
yet--except logs, which, under the Nc
Kinley Act, came in free
The JOURNAL suspects that the
Blackwater company is merely paving
the way for reduction of wages under
an excuse that doesn't excuse.

Editor Oder, the Frostburg philosopher
and editor McCardell, the Cumberland
casuist, are still deep in the mazes of tariff
controversy. Editor McCardell complains
that the American flag has been driven of
the ocean by England and France, and the
ready Frostburger rejoins that the American
merchant marine dates its downfall from, the
time 1--WE began living within ourselves
Frostburg is one point ahead.-Baltimort
Nens.

Counting that host of questions the

the JOURNAL is nearer one hundred
points ahead than the Baltimore base
ball club is to the pennant.
Which, we are glad to say, is pretty
near.

Test.

The average reader of the Cumber-
land Ne'cs doubtless imagines there is
nobody in this country deserving con-
sideration except manufacturing pro-
ducers.
AS these number about one in ten of
our population the Neus' fight is dis
tinctly for the interest of the minority
"a very small minority at that.
The whole scheme strengthens the
few sellers and weakens the many
buyers.
There is, therefore, but one thing to
do to justify high protection, namely
to deny its proceeds absolutely to any and every
employer oho soiU not distribute those pro.
ceeas to his employees.
For if protection is to make mar
ket for homemade produce, the tariff
earners must get their earnings.
Hence, if workingmen who are
really protectionists are in earnest
about obtaining their dues under pro-
lection, let them ask MIR. Wellington
whether he will pledge himself to vote
and work for law compelling en-
ployers to give labor all, or say 95 per
cent. of all that the tariff provides for
labor.
He must say--yes or no. Anything
else will be shutting.
For instance-to say such payment
is impracticableis equivalent to saying
that paying wages at all is imprac.
ticable.
if workingmen want to test the
sincerity of protection, this is the way
to do it.
Meanwhile, let us tell you that
with such law, nearly every EN-.
ployer outside the owners of Georges
Creek coal acould not ,oant protection!
In this region, as the JOURNAL has
frequently said, 95 per cent. of the pro
lection afforded by the tariff to labor
has been paid, month after month
with clock-like regularity, by the EN-
ployers to the miners.
Now the miners get, not only all
but more than all the protection the
German Act affords.
No such law, therefore, is needed
for this region. but it is imperatively
demanded nearly everywhere else il
protection is to continue.
If workingmen, then, really be
lieve in protection, let them ask Mr.
Wellington whether or not he will in
troduce and press with all his Nigh
the only measure that will make pro
lection do its perfect work.
And take nothing else and nothing
less than yes for an answer.

Remarkable Faulty.


The census statistics show that between
1880 and 1890 the wealth of New England in
creased 100000. But in the same period
the aggregate increase of wealth of New
Jersey, Maryland, West Virginia. Indiana,
South Carolina, Iowa, Alabama and Nebraska
was Tin all these States) only $6l4 100000,
despite the fact that the population of these
States sums up more than twice that of all
New England.
A more significant comparison is
shown from the census in the follow
ing observation
While the wealth of Maine increased
S73, 15O, 1856, the wealth of West Virginia and
Maryland each increased only s31, 100000.
That is to say, that while protection
was putting ST. in our pockets it was
putting $2.36 in Maine pockets.
And yet that is the sort of divvy
whose triumph in Maine we must crow
over!
And the sort we must perpetuate!
But where is the protectionist earn
ing 1886 per day who will as rule
divide in the same ratio with the best
neighbor he has ?
Why. he wouldn't give 1886 of his
daily 1886 to the man who breaches to
him of the "unsearchable riches"
But as shouting contributor to
a protection in Maine more than double
his own he is whole campmeeting.

Observation-Disclosures NeWs.
If Oder, the philosopher will give up his
philosophy for little while, and McCardell,
the casuist, his casuistry, and turn their at
tentlon to the condition of things and not the
theories, the whole Sixth District will be
vastly enetitted.-Hagerstown Nems.
Very well, then, as an organ deal
ing wholly in ''things," will the
Hagerstown paper tell the district
which is right-the fellow who says a
lumber mill at Davis was closed by
the new tariff Act. or the one who
alleges the more homely fact that it
was done by low waterg
There is no theory" whatever con-
nected with this dispute.
Because the Treasurer OF the Black
wafer lumber company knows what he
is talking about, and so does the man
who lives on the "crick."
The JOURNAL, however, challenges
the Hagerstown caviler to settle the
question without indulgirg in theory.
Only a Secondary Cause.
The statistician has gone to work in dead
earnest and figures it that the drouth cost the
farmers $3.50, 600, 600 in corn alone-Pittsburg
(Pa.) Times.
The statistician" is off.
Unless he will admit that "the
drouth" was caused by threatened
tariff reform.

Cause and Effect.

The democrats repealed the bounty clause,
and the very day after the law went into
effect the price of sugar advanced one cent per
pound.-Cumberlan Necs
Well, didn't Mr.. Caffery say before
hand in the Senate that an advance
would be made?
He knew the Trust would at once
begin to punish the people TO: soon
tempt of court"
The usual cause of increased prices
is scarclty-present or probable.
But when a law-sustained monopoly
gets its grip on the threats of the
people the unusual happens-the very
plenty which it controls confirms its
power to name its own prices.

The Joy of Being Robbed.

Inc JOURNAL does not seem TO Understand
the difference between a land warrant and
subsidy. -Cumberland Nems.
The Neus found this out by first
saying
The paying of bounties is never defensible
save where industrial development is i'm
possible without it.
There being no qualification what
ever of that statement, the JOURNAL
asked
Were not those bounties given out, for IN
stance, in the shape of land warrants for
military service, defensible?
And, as though answering the ques-
ton for the Neaos. it said
As matter of fact, under republican
form Of government heroic public service is
the only justification for bounty-givng.
And now to show how it "undel-
stood the difference the Ne,cs prac-
tically goes over the same ground and
says:
The land warrant was gratuity given in
recognition of patriotic services with two
fold object.
Anything new in that
But here is richness:
The principal object of giving to soldiers
the land warrant was to induce them to take
up land in what was then our western wilder
ness, thus developing an industry-the farm
ing industry.
We doubt that very much. If the
principal object" had been to induce
the patriots to "develop the farming
industry" a great deal Of bad faith has
been shown them, or their descend
ants, since.
Looking at those within the range
of this market-lf there is poorer
rural community anywhere in this
God-blessed but tariff cursed country,
nobody knows where it is. Nearly
every man and woman of them looks
like dim-eyed example of Siberian
frugality or hollow-cheeked victim of
tread-mill economy.
What matters it to them if "under
the Mckinley Act the consumer paid
four cents pound for sugar 2"
How much compensation is there in
sugar in exchange for the dozens of
farming products cheapened to ruinous
figures by the fact that there is prac-
tically no sale for them9
The Ne,os may write tome upon
the value of few cents pound of
sugar to every family, but If paternal-
ism were to buy the sugar and gipe it
to them it would still be most vicious
thing to take, with one hand, the
peoples money, and, with the other
hand, concentrate it IN the pockets of
few planters and fewer refners.
1t will avail nothing for the News to
draw distinction between govern
ment buying and distributing the frac-
tons of pound, and the whole pound.
If the one plan be good in principle
and practice, it cannot possibly be
economically or officially impaired by
multiplying it to unity.
Indeed, "a pleasure divided is a
pleasure doubled" and since govern
ment is in the business of distributing
modicnm of sugar absolutely free,
why not make the mutual joy of bene-
factor and beneficiary complete7
If it can rob the people of enough
money to make us all happy under a
system of gratuities returned under
the rule of vulgar fractions, why not
take enough and make Paradise re-
gained unit to every man, woman
and child in the land9

FIRE WITHOUT SMOKE.
An Inventors scheme for Burning
Powdered Coal Is Successful.

An Inventors scheme for Burning
Powdered Coal Is Successful.
Wherever there's smoke there's
fire, is an adage based on observa-
tion of unvarying physical laws, but
the reverse does not always hold
good. for there may be fire without
smoke. or, at all events without APP
parent smoke.
In Berlin according to the New
succeeded in devising a means for
insuring complete combustion with
out the emission of smoke, and his
method has. on repeated tests, proved
so satisfactory that two of the most
important shipping companies in
Germany have decided on adapting
it to their steamers.
In this system, coal reduced to
powder in centrifugal dislntegraters
is introduced into pear-shaped COM
bustion chamber lined with fire brick,
and fitted with an induction appara-
tus like those used in petroleum
fired furnaces, the coal dust being
drawn along by Il jet of steam or
compressed air.
The combustion chamber, which
takes the place OF a furnace, is pro-
vided with two apertures, one in the
center line of the boiler, occupying
the position of the usual frehole
door, while the other, on the oppo-
site side of the combustion cham Der,
serves for introducing the coal dust
through pipe. so placed that the
dust is evenly dispersed over the
whole surface Of the chamber.
After the fist ignition, which may
be effected by any source of heat.
the combustion continues regularly
and intensely under the action of the
air current, which is regulated in
accordance with the quantity of dust
required to produce the necessary
heat. The air or steam and dust
are intimately mingled in the zone
of com bustion. while tho spreal OF
the current, which has served as a
vehicle for the dust is much reduced.
Each particle of fuel held in sus-
pension is. by this method, brought
into such close contact with the oxy-
gen necessary for its combustion that
this method is so complete as to al
low of practically no smoke being
generated.
