PIrrsBUKG LABOR TROUBLES.

Jones & Laughlins's Plant Closed ana
$500 Men on a Strike Coal Miners De-
eide to Walt.
Pittsburg, Pa, June 3.-The entire
plant of Jones & Laughlin was closed
down, on account of the strike, and
$500 men are now idle. There has
been no disorder, but tomorrow is pay
day and trouble is feared then. The
strikers met again to-day and resolved
10 stand firm for their demands.
There will be no strike of the $4,000
miners in this district for the present.
This was decided at to-day's delegate
convention. and is largely due to Ma
tional President Ratchfords address
advising moderation.
Resolutions were adopted, however,
demanding a uniform rate of SO cents
per ton for mining, but deferring the
strike until such time as the National
Executive Board should consider it adj
visable. The convention was one of
the largest ever held in Pittsburg, there
being 90 delegates, representing over
100 mines.

enquire. through your columns, who is
the man. Citizen" who proclaims in
this mornings edition of your paper,
that mo honest man" will say that the
Wheeling and Elm Grove ordinance is
best for the people of Wheeling? |
say the development of that line in the
past. and its future development and
cheapening of fares in the future. is
not only best for the people Of Wheel
mig. but best for the people of a large
section Of Ohio county as well, and /
claim to be an honest man. Who, l
repeat. is this Citizen" who proclaims
in the public prints that any man who
dares to dissent from his views is dis
honest and a rascal? And what rela-
tio1ship does he bear to that strabis-
mus-afTlicted, puerile pessimist, "One
Who Sees?" Does Citizen" intend to
have us believe that gentlemen who adj
vocate and vote for a street railway
franchise. in this case the Elm Grove,
because they believe it TO be best for
the people. act from improper motives?
Does he intend to convey the impress
sion that the members of former
Council who voted to allow the Ohio
Railway Company to enter the city,
four years ago, did so from improper
motives? Does he intend to insinuate
that the men who voted for former
Wheeling Railway ordinance did so be-
cause they were dishonest? Would
he have us believe that the men who
four years ago voted TO kill and did kill
an Elm Grove extension ordinance, did
so from motives of gain? Or is Cit
izen" the vice-regent Of Omnipotence,
the incarnation of virtue, the embod-
iment of all that is right, and just, and
fair. that he should thus anathemize
all who may presume to differ from
him? Is he this, and more; or is he
a simple partisan of some railway COM
pany. antagonistic to the Wheeling and
Elm Grove, and overgiven to bluff,
buster and bull-dozing?
Who is this man, Citizen anyhow?

A we'll known firm of Wall street
brokers, speaking of the proposal 10

cultural products. says in its letter of

lation. II there is an imbecile left IN
this country who requires this object
lesson 10 the madness of protective con-
fscation of property under the hollow
pretext of taxation, it may be well TO
administer it."
Proceeding in the discussion Of the
political situation from the standpoint
Of business the letter continues: PRO
tectionist politicians masquerading as
gold standard men have betrayed the
sound money cause, and made hopeless
any reform of the currency on gold
lines Prosperity might make possible

mania made prosperity itself impossi-
BILE"
This wall from the heart of wall
street is instructive. When attacks on
the protective madness of the Republl-
can party comes from the West or from
Democratic sources the howl arises that
they are prompted by ignorance or by
insane prejudice against business in
terests. When the Republican lead
ers are accused by the Democrats OF
treachery to their allies, the plea is set
up that the charge is prompted by par
tisan rancor.
But here is an indictment Of protec-
ton folly and an accusation of treach-
erv from the heart of business inter-
ests. Keen business men see the inev-
table disaster that must follow the Vlo-
Iation of sound principles of legislation
and a riot of discriminating taxation.
They testify from intelligence Of prac-
teal experience that injustice is folly
and Righteousness is wisdom in the con-
duct Of the government.
There is no longer any doubt in the
minds Of impartial observers that the
Republican campaign was a game OF
thimblerig. played for Doodle.

On the coal duties the government
still reserves final action, awaiting the
result of tariff legislation at Washing
ION but an amendment has been made
in the wording Of the resolutions in re-
gard 10 coal screenings, in order to re-
move a possible misunderstanding The
former method of discriminating be-
tween slack and coal paying higher
