In point Of revenue. has In these matters given
to the Democrats important assistance. 1t re-
mains TO be seen how far the members of the
conference committee from the House will be
inclined to assent to changes so important as
respects revenue. and TO some industries so
manifestly Injurious.
The fact is that this bill must be made sufii-
clent in point Of revenue. That Is the impcra-
tive necessity for the public interests, and no
less for party interests. He who so votes as to
make the measure insufficient in that respect
Is not engaged in aiding the Republican party
nor the country. Whether other modes Of
raising revenue can be found. and can be adopt
ed by majority. which are preferable TO the
duties on grain and cotton bags. burlaps. cot
ton ties and pine lumber. Senator's must judge
for themselves; but votes to deprive the meas
ure of important revenuc-producing provisions
stand In need Of explanation. 1t is not wise to
count upon any precise estimate Of the revenue
from tax on sales Of bonds and stocks, be-
cause such transactions may or may not be
greatly diminished IL taxed, or may be made
in such form to evade taxation in part. An
ample revenue should be absolutely secured and
not made merely possible. The Republican
party cannot afford to pass n tariff for deficit,
and its true friends will guard with the utmost
care against such an error.

more powerful organizations Of skilled work
men. Nevertheless n general strike, at the end
Of hard times, just as conditions are promising
but before the Improvement has gone far enough
to encourage generosity or make new ventures
seem worth while, is more likely to reduce than
to Increase the country's outlay for wages In
the case Of the miners the experiment Is paric
ularly dangerous. Few Of them have any re-
serve fund.- and loss Of work, even poorly paid
as 1t Is, means loss Of food Tie misery OF q
fight Is likely to outweigh the happiness de-
rived from even successful results, and the re-
suits Of any strike are rarely successful. Then
every difficulty with miners only hastens the
Introduction Of machinery to supplant them.
They may win or they may lose, but the owner
Is led to think Of the machine as cheap substi-
tute In one case, and rs refuge from annoying
disputes I'm the other. The coalmners are n
class whose hardsbips and dark prospects de-
serve sympathetic and helpful attention. but
sympathy will not alter the facts Of the situa-
ton, and their best friends will wish them out
Of contest in which odds are so heavily against
them.

COAL-UINERS' TROUBLES.

The threatened general strike Of coal-miners
Is not likely II 1t takes place to have any other
result than to make the last state OF the oper-
atlyes worse than the first. Circumstances en-
tirely apart from the grievances OF the miners
point to that conclusion. The Illinois workers
,eport that the present scale Of wages allows
them to make only nine cents an hour. That
appears to be remarkably low compensation for
what may fairly be classified as half-skilled
labor. But no matter how great the cause for
dissatisfaction, the condition Of the mining in
dustry Is not such as to promise successful
strike. 1t IS easy to find fault with the coal
barons, and their course is frequently open to
criticism, but at the present time coal men who
have the interest of the workmen seriously at
heart-and such men exist strange as it may
seem to Popustc agtators much con-
cerned for the future Of the dggers, owing to
natural and Industrial causes over which neither
workman nor employer has control.
In many fields the general use Of coal-mining
machinery is inevitable. Devices have been
perfected which, operated by two ordinary men.
will do the work Of four skilled pickers and
save what now amounts to perhaps % per cent
of waste. Such economy will not be resisted.
The miner may complain that bread should not
be taken out of his mouth. but no philanthropy
can resist the changes wrought by invention.
The machines are not available for thin veins
of coal but in this, as In every other industry,
the most economical producer sets the scale
which others have to follow or shut down. Nor
Is machinery the miners only competitor. The
hard times threw thousands out Of work in the
furnaces Of Pennsylvania Ohio and Illinois.
COal-mining was the most natural resort of
these mechanics 1t was better than unskilled
labor and 1t was easy to learn. SO, whereas ut
the beginning Of Mr. Cleveands Admnisira-
ton there were not enough miners TO I'LL the
demand, ut It's end the mines were crowded
with men anxious for work at almost any price.
Miners have been hoping that the revival begin
ming in other trades would draw numbers away
and leave work at fair wages for those who
remained The present stoppage Of the mills
about Pttsburg may be protracted by long
and widespread struggle over wages or 1t may
only give time for repairs; but, at any rate 1t
stops the return to the factories Of those who
haunt the mines. At the same time 1t lessons
the demand for coal and makes the mne-owners
less anxious to concede any advance.
If the coal, hon, tin and glass Industries are
to be involved in general dispute, the logic Of
the miners is more plain, since they would hope
doubtless to gain much from the support Of the

DEBS IN COLLAPSE.

| Debs is far too easily discouraged. week
ago he was going to lead 100000 patriots West,
establish the cooperative commonwealth take
possession of the government Of the chosen
/ State and perhaps win the Presidential election
of 1900. In these few short days his hope has
oozed out. Whereas he was so sure Of the re-
organization he was going to effect In society
and the awful blow he was going to in6ct on
capital. which would drive 1t to fight FOR lie.
that he planned beforehand for defence in bat
tie, now he COOS as gently as any sucking dove
about teaching the masses Of the people the need
| Of reform in the production and distribution OF
wealth. Not that he has in the least abandoned
his colonization scheme. oh, no. But 1t Is only
side issue, and he thinks 1t will be quite
enough for him to move 10000 patriots
What has come over Debs? Where are his
300 900 patriots who were going to introduce
Socialism peaceably If possible. violently If they
must? The revolution cannot be wrought by
10000. Where are the thoughtful managers
who had everything planned, and had nothing
to fear but unconstitutional interference from
the plutocrats? The plutocrats did not inter-
fere. No Federal troops were marched against
them. Debs's scheme was hailed with enthus-
asm by the conservative people of the country
who were much more anxious than the Socialists
TO see Socialism put to the test, bring the prom
ised happiness so that they might share 1t, or
else shut the mouths Of It's noisy advocates and
give this weary world rest. But the deliver
ance Is denied them. Before the nebulous
scheme had solidified enough to offer fair tar
get for contributions its creator decided that the
100000 was only a Pickwcklan number. He
will not become n communstic pioneer on a
large scale, sharing equally with his brother
workmen the joys Of communistlc labor and
communistlc pay. He prefers the old cvza-
tion where wrongs may be denounced with
profit and where walking delegates can pave
his pleasant way.
We are sorry Debs has abandoned his heroic
plans without even giving himself the chance
to show his heroism. We dislike to lose faith
in him. there are so few altruistc, steadfast
leaders In this selfish, capltalistic world. 1t Is
so much pleasanter not to find that the orator
whose heart beats for the people is demagogue
who bleeds them for their dollars and that
the great presence and noise which give us such
delightful tremors Of fright are, after ALL only

to talk 4 crusade rather than walk one. 1t in

A WISE PARTY AND UNWISE SENATE

The Senate has done some foolish things, II
they are not rather to be considered Intention
ally hurtful, but the caucus Of Republican Sen
ators has reached wise decisions. 1t has deter
mined to withdraw the provisions Of the Finance
Committee for a duty on tea and an increase OF
a cents per barrel in the tax on beer, and to
substitute a tax on transactions In bonds and
stocks The former were taxes which would
have affected the expenditures Of almost every
Door man in the country, and were essentially
out of accord with Republican principles, I'M
less made necessary by temporary emergency.
The tax on transfers Of stocks and bonds, on
the contrary. Is one which would never be felt
as burden Of the slightest consequence, ex-
cept by the mere gamblers who go through
form Of buying in order to bet on the future
prices of securities. Without considering any
question as to the morality or public expediency
Of such operations, 1t is at least safe to say that
they can be taxed heavily without affecting in
the slightest degree the cost Of living, the re-
the creation Of wealth.
The caucus also reached a wise decision on
the proposed trust amendment. The committee
appointed to examine the subject reported that
it would be extremely difficult to secure an
amendment which would be effective, and that
It was questionable If any which could be added
TO a tariff bill would be rs effective as the laws
now existing The caucus decided not to pro-
pose or support any amendment Of that char
acer, and to leave the matter for separate action
hereafter The truth is that the Sherman law
now in force. as It has been recently interpreted
by the Supreme Court, Is considerably more
stringent than 1t was ever intended to be. and
more stringent than any act which could now
be passed, ard, moreover, any new measure
would be liable to be construed as repeating in
part or modifying the existing law, without
accomplishing anything which advocates Of such
legislation would regard as desirable.
The Senate has thrown away large revenue
in putting grain bags, burlaps, cotton bag
gng and cotton ties on the free list, and in
reducing the duty on pine lumber, and it is
suggestive feature that the votes to accomplish
the defeat OF the Finance Committee In these
matters We're cast by former Republicans whose
relations with the silver question have been
such as to render their attitude more or less
questionable. 1t Is conceivable that the desire
