STARVING MINERS IN INDIANA.

One Reason Tor Discomfort N This Great
ChFi'tian Country.
At meeting in behalf of the starv-
ing coal miners of Indiana, held at
Lebanon, Ind, Sunday night, Judge
Thomas J. Terhune, Gov. Mounts Spec
ial commissioner, made statement
regarding the miners condition. He
said;
"As told Gov Mount in an inter
view few days ago, the miners of this
state have a just cause. A man who is
sober and honest, who sndsavors to
take care Of his family, cannot make
enough to sustain life under the pres
ent wage scale. It is not necessary for
US to discuss what brought the present
condition of the miners about; it is
sufficient to know that such q condi-
ton exists and is a disgrace and dis
honor to Indiana.
al notice some Of the papers deny
that miners are actually starving to
death. In round numbers there are
5000 families in this state in actual
restitution, 10000 persons literally
starving. Their condition cannot be
realized without being seen. A few
years ago they received S1.25 a ton for
their labor; now the average price paid,
after deduoting the necessary expenses.
is about 35 cents a ton. A good miner
can probably make 81 a day, and is
allowed to work two or three days each
week. Wherever a mine is opened the
operators put up little shanties, which
must answer as homes for their en-
ployes, from whom a monthly rental Of
So is sxacted. They paid the same rent
When they wers receiving S125 a ton
for mining, and it is not decreased be-
cause the wages are cut. They are
compelled to trade at company stores,
and the prices they pay are left entire

atoFs. The miners not Of this state
alone, but of the entire country, hsvs,
because Of those abuses at their en-
ployeFs' hands, been reduced to suffer.

The Empcria Republican is bucking
a little against Leland rule and the
faithful are somewhat worried. In an
editorial it says: "The lawIof the state
that provides that, everything being
equal, the old soldier shall have the
preference in official position, was ig-
nOFed by Apple-jack Cy when be and
Senator Baker tFampled under their
feet the petition Of 10000 old soldiers
for Anderson and gObbled up the PEN
sion agency. Law, custom, precedent,
justice nor the golden rule has any
weight With them. They are mean and
selfish, as narrow and bigoted, as the
man that prayed TO the Lord to shower
blessings on me and my wife, my son
John and his wife, Us four and no
more. In the next political roundup
the republicans of the state will de-
mand that the hogs be driven into the
sea-"

THAT ARTICLE TWENTY.TWn

The alleged "crime of 70" has been
put clear into the shade by the surrep-
tious inclusion in the new tariff bill Of
q clause which not even Mr.. Dingley,
nor Mr.. Allison, nor Tom Reed himself
knew was there. The clause referred
to appears in the following and is
placed between parentheses:
"That a discriminating duty Of 10
per centum sd valorem; in addition to
the duties imposed by law, shall be
levied, collected, and paid on all goods,
wares or merchandise which shall be
imported in vessels not Of the United
States for which being the production
or manufacture of any foreign country
not contiguous to the United States,
shall come into the United States
from such contiguous country" etc.
or, being interpreted:
All goods which come from the coun-
tries OF the Pacific and are shipped in
via the Canadian Pacific railway into
the United states must pay an addi-
tionsl tax of 10 per cent. Of course,
this was done at the bshsst Of our own
Pacific railway systems. There are
many who believe that the principle
involved is a proper one. But DO hon
est man can quietly submit to the
method by which it was inserted in the
tariff bill and the way in which all
mention of it was suppressed by its
thief-like authors.
There should be no doubt about the
way to treat it, now that the trick has
been discovered. The first act of con-
gFess should be to take that clause out
of the bill, if for no other purpose than
to show the scOundrels who seek by
stealth TO turn the government of the
United States into a mere agent to
further their own schemes, that however
they may influence congressman to
serve their ends, they at least will not
be permitted to take snap judgment
upon the honorable gentlemen who
claim the right to share in all the little
"deals" that are put through our ma
tional legislature.
And what may be said Of a legislative
body, which after spending more than
four months in formulating and dis.
eussing this tariff bill, permits such a
measure to pass without q soul except
the tricksteF whose pen inserted the
clause knowing It'll Tom Reed has fat
tered himself that his plan of shutting
everybody of from speech is a great
enc. He is welcome to whatever credit
attaches to it, but be must take the
blame along with the praise.
We have heard much in opposition
to direct legislation because the peo-
pie did not know, and inferentially
could not know, about these important
matters! Aud then these wiseacres
who get to congress sit serenely by
while the interests of their constItu-
ents are made a football of By the cor
poratiOns whose welfare lies in quite
another direction.
If the referendum had been in oper.
alton, that clause would never have
gotten through. And it is peculiar,
as a Chicago daily has the courage to
say, that no surreptitious legislation
has ever been secured in the interests
Of the common peOplei If there we're
any evidence required to prove that
our whole law-making apparatus need
ed thorough o7erhauiing, the discov-
cry Of this latest "erims" surely sup
plies it.-Farmer's Voice.
