PESSsrLvANIA.s ANSWER TO NJ
Kinlcy.

The last three years have been
more satisfactory to American work
ingmen than many preceding years.
shouts the Advance Agent Of Pros.
perity in his letter OF acceptance; and
10000 Pennsylvania coal diggers go
on strike to prove the fact.
Could anything better illu strate
the utter emptiness OF the Presi-
dents claims? Pennsylvania is the
home OF protection. There. il any
whore i'll the United States, Its alleg-
ed beueticence should work itself out
IN contentment and happiness and
universal plenty.
But what are the facts? In no
state i'll the union is labor more de
graded. Nowhere else is it so utterly
at the mercy OF corporate monopoly.
Nowhere else has it been reduced to
harder conditions. Nowhere is it liv-
ing so close to the border land Of
starvation.
The list of grievances Of the coal
digger is a frighttul indictment OF
the Republican party and its hideous
policy OF class favoritism. The min
ers complain Of intolerable condi-
tons. They charge the operators
with open or constructive robbery.
They cry aloud III anguish because Of
ipjus:iccsiyhich should make the an
gels weep. But the coal barous who
contribute munlticently 10 the Hanna
campaign fund turn a deaf ear TO all
protests and all demand aud a.
there is nothing to a%rbitratr,7 when
their hsrd-preSsed wrOkmen ask that
their case be submitted to an Impair
tisl tribunal.
For days Republican politicians
have been busy at Scranton and
Wilkesbarre and tiazleton, seeking
to avert this great rebellion against
monopoly oppression. They have
labOred with might and main, ex-
haus;ing efTor: and a~rtitice in the
struggle TO DELAY the outbreak until
after the election. But they have
failed. And uox $4,000 men are in
open revo!; against their cruel task
masters.

cent. The coal III the ground will

THE EMPIRES DoCroH BILL.

II costs the United States govern
ment the enormous sum OF $4,000 a
year TO keep surgeons and other
medical officers in the Philippines.
This does not include nurses. hos
pital attendants and medicines.
The official records show that there
are 400 medical officers i'll the Philip.
pines at an average salary Of sl.S0o.
The war department bulletined re.
Gently a statement that the sickness
in the Philippine army was slightly
' e 5 per cent of coco men. or d to.
tal sick o. 5000. This, it Is alleged.
is the average normal sickness.
TX this statement Of numbers,
which the wal department says was
cabled by Macarthur, WAS true. then
the United States government spends
$4,000 for the care OF 5000 sick
men, or SlH per man, exclusive OF
the cost OF medicines. nurses and
hospital attendants.
Another astonishing fact is that it
requires 400 surgeons aud other
medica! officers to take care of 900
men, il the official records state the
truth. In other words it requires
mi contract surgeon al $3.50 a year
to take ARE OF about twelve men.

part OF the Porcupine mining district,
a strip Of territory twenty miles wide
and 300 miles long. Over this strip
Of territory the American flag has
waved in undisputed authority for
thirty.three years. Since 1857 the
United States has been in undisputed
possession Of this valuable territory,
and before that it was held in undis.

Great Britain ever had a shadow OF
