A DANGEROUs DOCTRINE.

The courts OF the country have re-
peatedly declared that employees had the
right TO strike. In the absence Of a time
contract such a right is absolutely es-
sential to human liberty. If man, I'M
der no contract obligations, is not free
to quit work when he likes he is in
condition Of slavery. The courts have
recognized this truth fully and have de-
clared 1t clearly. Nevertheless in the
telegraphic report of the court proceed
ings at Chicago occurs this startling
passage;
During the discussion Edwin Walker,
special counsel for the government, made
the suggestion that ii was within the
power of the defendants to end the trou-
bic by declaring the strike off. They are
still in contempt, he said, and the gov
eminent is in possession Of Information
that the injunction is still being violated.
Judge Woods said that If there are
further violations Of the injunction a
supplemental information can be filed
and the guilty parties will find them
selves in a much worse position than
they would otherwise be in.
Attorney Gregory denied that II was
within the power OF his client to declare
may exist on the railroads is within
their control. With that the subject was
dropped.
This apparently means that in the
opinion of Mr.. Walker, Debs is under
some obligation to the court to declare
the strike off; that he is in greater con-
tempt if he does not do so, and that this
should be considered in fixing his pun
ishment for past charged contempt This
doctrine is a point in advance of Judge
Woods's theory that it is a serious ques-
ton whether advising to strike is not
punishable offense and that was bad
enough doctrine for anyone. If 1t be
lawful to strike it cannot well be unlaw-
full TO advise to strike. There cannot,
consistently or logically, be anything I'M
lawful in advising one to do a lawful
thing although when the act results in
injury to a third party he may have an
action for damages. But Walkers doc
trine is worse. His position is that where
a lawful movement has been entered
upon. and it is within the power of one
or more persons to stop it, it may be a
violation of law for them to fail to stop
ft-a violation of law TO fail to prevent
others from doing a lawful act. The po-
sition is preposterous. If the courts hold
to it they will be obliged to abandon
their former holdings that striking is
lawful. and add 1t to the list of penal

NO SURRENDER.

If congressman are, in fact, talking of
compromise on the terms suggested in
the press dispatches. they must have lit
tie conception of the temper of the coun-
try The firm stand of the house and
the courag eous intervention of the presi-
dent have received universal commenda-
ton from the democratic and independent
press, and the people are as unanimous
and emphatic as the press. The senate
conspirators are denounced on all sides,
and it is unquestionably the strong SEN
timent on all sides that it would be bet
ter to pass no bill at all than TO let the
senate traitors run the party and make
it the servant OF the impudent trusts
ton. stand must be made somewhere
against the government by money that
has grown up during thirty years of re-
publican rule, and that stand ought 10
be made before the democratic party has
submitted to the dishonor of accepting
such rule. If it submits now it will not
soon be trusted again 10 defend the peo-
pie from such government.
The establishment of duty Of As per
cent. ad valorem on all sugars is more
than equivalent to the amount of bounty
granted the sugar trust by the Mckinley
bill. The duty alone is a full equivalent.
and, added to this, the trust will have the
opportunity to undervalue imported raw
sugar. which it could not profit by I'M
der the Mckinley bill. The only posi-
BILE duty that can put a stop to the plrat-
ical plumber of this lawless organization
is an uniform specific duty on all sugars.
In the light of the damaging
dis -iosures that have been made
concerning the sugar trust and its
methods, any concession to it
will be regarded by the country as
a fruit of corruption and will leave an
indelible smirch on the party. The con-
cessions to the whisky trust and the
whisky pool are almost equally obnox-
are not called for by any industry and
are purely for the benefit of spectators.
The duties on coal and iron are tax
on all manufacturing and industrial Oc-
equations that will ultimately be paid
by the whole people. 1t would be an
awful blunder to retain such duties in
bill passed by a democratic congress,
and the only safe course is to force
vote for their removal in the senate. If
the senate persists in adhering to them
let the house appeal to the country on
the issue so made. The party will sup
port the house and the people will sup
port the party in such a glorious revolt
against the money power.

THE SUGAR QUESTION.

The announcement that the republicans
have not pushed their amendment for
free sugar, because they feared that 1t
might be adopted and the bill passed
with free sugar as a feature. is an inter
esting commentary on republican states
manship With all their talk about want
ing the tariff question settled on account
of the business interests of the country
and all their talk about opposition to the
sugar trust, they are more devoted to
small politics than 10 the adoption of
the views which they profess to hold
They would fight for free sugar at once
If they thought that free sugar would de-
feat the tariff bill. but If the bill is to
pass they prefer that it should be loaded
with the odium of a concession to the
sugar trust rather than to embody the
republican doctrine Of free sugar. They
have had the opportunity to get what
they claim they want. and have declined
to take it. Now they think they can
make a fight for it without winning, and
therefore they are about to howl for free
sugar.
We sincerely trust that enough demo-
cratic senator's will be found to vote
with them to carry the amendment. 1t
would be a great disappointment to the
republicans, but it would be a great vic
tory for the people. AS the situation

with some reason be asked-that is not

shameless steals that make so-called

ultimate responsibility will be found to
rest with the champions of the sugar

LET THE HOUSE STAND FIRM.

. The democratic party of the country
has been fully heard from in response
to the presidents brave, patriotic and
statesmanly letter to Chairman Wilson
1t has rallied to his support with an enA
thusiasm and unanimity even greater
than were called forth by the epoch
making tariff reform message of 1887.
1t stands squarely by President Cleve-
land in his earnest efforts to compel a
fuIfIlment Of the solemn pledges made
by the democratic party in the presiden-
tiaI campaign OF 1892. There has never
been a time, in the history Of American
politics, in which the democratic press
was so unanimous upon any moOted
question of public policy as it is today
in support of President Cleveland and
the house of representatives in their
splendid resistance to the little gang of
corrupt politicians in the senate, who
can not, truthfully, make even the poor
excuse for their perfidy-yes, ''perfdy''
is the word-that it is demanded by the
interests Of their states. Democratic
sentiment in Maryland. New Jersey and
West Virginia is overwhelmingly against
the senators from those states in their
fight for the sugar trusts and the coal
and iron barons.
The democratic party Of the coun-
try is practically a unit for free
raw matrials. It's message to the
house of representatives is: Stand
firm for free coal and iron, and against
the sugar trust tariff schedule. Better
no tariff bill at all, and a square appeal
to the country on the issue Of honest
tariff reform, than the passage of the
senate abomination. The country can
stand a couple of years more of McKin-
leyism better than it can stand such an
illogical and disreputable makeshift as
