SENTIMENT OF OPERATORS
Under Goes . Change. but TIL Conclusion
Is the 1an.e.

Scranton. Pa c~- 2 Sentiment
among the representatives o. lie coal
operators here has undergone a change
since Wednesday regarding the action
of President Roosevelt in assuming the
role of an intermediary to settle the
strike. Wednesday they said the only
effect of the presidents action would
be to put of the surrender of the
miners as many days as there were
in the interim between the first an
nouncement of his intention to inter-
mediate and the announcement of the
result-Or rather lack of reSult-of the
conference. Yesterday these men said
that the White House conference
would hasten the end of the strike;
that it will show the miners that no
third party-not even the president of
the United States-can bulge the op-
orators from their position, and that
once this is realized the strikers will
weaken.
A prominent individual coal operator
said yesterday he stood ready to guar
antee that the operators would agree
to a sliding scale basis of pay, COM
pretending 2 per cent. raise for ev-
cry 10 cents advance on coal above
$3.50 f. o. b., the present selling price,
if the miners union woulc agree to put
up bonds to indemnify Il e operators
for damages resulting I om strikes
caused by the discharge of men for
causes other than connection with tbs
union.

3 A CAMPAIGN FABLE
oAoaoxoaoAoAoaoaoAoAoAos

A man was brought before lunacy
commission on the charge that he had
apartments in an insane asylum COM
ing to him.
His neigEsors were called in as wit
nesses, and it was shown that he had
burned his own barn.
When asked for an explanation the
man said: THAT barn was full of
grain. l discovered that several dozen
rats were boarding at my expense and
after giving considerable thought to
the question of how best to get rid of
them hit upon the happy expedient of
burning the barn"
did that kill the rats?" asked his
interrogation.
II guess not" replied the witness,
"but l had the satisfaction of making
1t hot for them"
Moral-When this mans neighbors
realized that he had applied to the
rats the same plan of treatment pro-
posed by free-traders for the trusts,
they concluded to make a Statesman
of him and run him for congress on a
tarifffor-revenue platform.

Washington, Oct. 3.-Attorney Gen

He was the only member of the cab
met present. Carroll ID. Wright, com
missioner of labor, who recently made
an investigation of the strike situa-
ton, also attended on the invitation of
the president. While every one con
nected with the administration is ex-
tremely reticent concerning the confer
ence there is feeling of hope among
those close to the president that it is
going to result in settlement of the
strike. This hope is based on the
acuteness of the situation and the ne
cessity that exists for a settlement,
along with the known determination of
the president to bring about settle
ment if such a thing be possible.
President Confers with Quay.
Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania, was
in conference with the president fer

MORE ARTfUL D0DGlKG ON
THE STATE DEBT QUESTION.

The Rushville Republican calls at
tention to the fact that the $4,000
received by the state government in
1891 as a refund of the direct tax by
the general government, did not go 20
make up million dollar payment on
the state debt, but was swallowed up
in the vortex of Democratic debt. The
Indianapolis Sentinel answers this by
saying that this money was returned to
the state treasury during the admin
istration of Governor Hovey, and that
it was used to pay current expenses,
in ten years resulted in the states
running behind about half a million
dollars year in its current expenses"
What are the facts? The Republi
ran legislature of 1881 did pass tax
NV, and that was the last legislature
ontrolIed by the Republicans until
1895. In 1880 the ordinary annual ex-
penses of state on which this tax law
of 1881 was based, were sS44,000. By
1889 they had increased to S1,320,50
=
clan to tell where the half million dol
lar deficit comes in. And despite this
vast increase in expenditures. Demo
cratic leadership refused to provide
for The deficit by an increased levy or
an increased appraisement. The re-
suit of this was not only the addition
of nearly half a million dollars annu-
ally to the state debt by reason of a
deficiency in revenue, but the piling
up of interest and interest on interest
until, in 1890, interest alone was cost
ing the state of Indiana s74o day.
How hold Governor Hovey respon-
sible for the refusal of successive Dem
ocratic legislatures. despite the rec
concentrations of successive governors,
to make provision for the ordinary ex-
penses of government, preferring to
avoid responsibility for securing suf-
ficient revenue, even at the expense
of four million dollar addition to the
state debt? There is no use trying
to shift that responsibility. 1t rests
where it belongs-on the shoulders of
Democratic leadership.
The Sentinel also insists that Re-
publican fiscal officers have paid near
ly five million dollars on the state debt
since January 1st, 1895, solely with
three and a quarter millions of reye-
nue. derived from the sinking fund pro-
vided for by the law of 1898, and the
$500, 900 derived from the refund of
interest on war bonds paid by the gen.
eral government. total of less than
four million dollars. This is better
fnanciering than Republicans, even.
would claim. especially in view of the
fact that along with this vast debt re-
duction has come a reduction in gen.
eral taxation, by a decrease of the levy
in 1895, almost equal to the amount of
the payment on the state debt And

In other words, this total bill of i'm
plements would have cost an Indiana
farmer in 1896, s277; in 1902. 1920. In
1896 it would have cost him 500 BUSH
els of wheat, in 1902, with more wheat
to pay with, he can buy the lot for 3S2
bushels; in 1890 it would have taken
1885 bushels of corn in an even trade
for the outfit, in 1902. SIS bushels buy
1t, and the farmers of Indiana have
the corn. In 1896 the purchase price,
expressed in oats, was 2,30S bushels,
in 1902 it is 764 bushels. In 1896 it
would have taken four horses and $37
besides to buy the lot, in 1902 three
horses of equal quality would buy the
implements and the farmer would have
$40 coming to him. In 1896 the Indi-
ana farmer would have had to sell
eleven steers of average weight. and
borrow two dollars, in order to secure
the implements; in 1902 the farmer
would have to dispose of only eight
steers of equal weight and quality, and
then would get $50 ito boot" In 1896
the farmer who wanted the outfit
would have had to drive forty-six hogs
of average weight to the scales, and
then would have owed one dollar; now
twenty-three hogs of the same weight
and quality would not only represent
the value of the outfit, but the farmer
would have So coming to him.
One of the leading clothing mer-
chants of Indianapolis says: You
may safely make the statement tina,
clothing today is cheaper. quality con-
sidered, than it has ever BEEN" A
leading shoe merchant says: eff any
thing, shoes are a shade lower in price
than they were in 1896" Dry goods
are shade higher. the average in
crease in price being, however, less
than 10 per cent. General hardware
is no higher than in 1896; nails and
wire are about the same; stoves have
increased about 10 per cent in price.
When it is remembered that where
prices have been increased they rep
resent, in very few cases, more than
the increase in wages paid to opera
