VILE American:
The Chicago Tribune and divers other
Republican newspapers are quoting a
speech OF Ben I1ilman, a Senator from
the State of South Carolina, made some
time during the last session of Congress.
and printing 1t alongside OF a plank in the
Democratic platform relating 10 the con-
sent OF the governed. Tillman said:
We took the government away We
stuffed the ballot boxes We shot them
We are not ashamed Of IT. With tha; sys-

tionaa convention and we eliminated, as I
have said. all Of the colored people whom
we could under the fourteenth and nj
deenth amendments.
The Tribune holds up Tillman as the
spokesman of the South, and other
Republican papers follow the same line.
II should not be necessary to assure any
fair-ninded man that Mr.. Tiliman WAS

South on thss or any other question.

a NEN REMEDY.

The Henry County Bulletin, published
nj Martinsville, Va, printed IN It's issue
az last week the following Interesting eui-s
torial:
The Richmond Times, in its mental me
anderings of these days IN the realm u ~ o-.
,;tical discussion generally, says ~ d re-

would be out of the question.
Almost the opposite Of The Times po-
sition is the correct one. Many of the
largest corporations. under present condi-
tons, or any probable conditions Of the
near future. are practically necessities.

as railroad companies, banks, insurance

be created corporations. Until some bet

THE EQUITIES OF THE coal
STRIKE

we have often pointed out in the edi-
torial columns of this paper shat coal
is tho pow er that moves the world today.
The wealth OF nations is no longer in
flocks and herds; 1t is daily growing to
depend less upon wheat and corn, so FAR
as its export wealth is concerned; and
each year sees the nations that manu-
facture the most advance the most RAPID
~ 1t is not our cotton and foodstuffs,
but oar coal and iron that will ultimately
make US the leading power in the world
and a blew at ocal. which is the source
of our manufacturing power, is a blow
at our CT numerical supremacy.
So the American will look Well at the
agitation and strained relations now eX-
listing In the Goa! regions of PeEEsyl-
vania, for the continuance of the strike
cannot fail to affect powerfully our manu-
featuring interests throughout the entire
nation.
England has lost millions of pounds, and
more In trade and prestige than she will
ever recover, through the engineers
strike, and America will do, well to profit
by her example. &
Strikes are wars, bitter, relentless eco
nomic wars fought with hunger and loss
of property instead of powder and shot.
Like other wars, strikes are both justi-
fable and unjustifable. and with a
quiokening public interest in commercial
affairs, the popular judgment is more and
more strongly demanding that all shall
not suffer because of the i'll tempered
or grasping desires of either employe or
miners have made a very. favorable i'm
preston on the public mind. They have
shown that they are obliged to pay s. 20
for powder which costs S1.01 per key.
They have been compelled to hire one
specific doctor and deal at one store.
whether they like the doctor and store
or not. Again the miners say that their
wages have not begun to keep pace with
the increased cost of living and the IN
creased dividends.
If these statements are true, then un-
corrected grievances certainly exist, and
the refusal Of the employers TO arbitrate
or discuss these questions cannot fail TO
create favorable sentiment for the
In4ners.
There may be great deal to be said
for the employers. but ii has not been
sid yet. The experience OF men and
nations has always been that the only
way successfully 10 meet a grievance is
to correct it, and the employers cannot
escape the working of this rule.
