The Goal Strike.

The strike of coal miners in Pennsylvania
continues and the end is not in sight. The
strike region is more than one hundred miles
long, and riot and bloodshed are of daily oc-
eurence. The State has about three thousand
troop in the strike region, but it seems that
most of the soldiers are in sympathy with the
strikers, and their presence has but little in
fuence in lettering the lawless element. The
lawlessness consists of the strikers chasing,
beating and shooting at men who desire to
work, and they are assaulted going and return
ing from work. In some instances their houses
have been attacked and their wives and chill
dren stoned.
In the meantime great Inconvenience is ex-
perienced from the shortage of coal, and the
outlook for the winter is distressing. Schools
may have to be closed, and the suffering of the
people must be severe for want of fuel.

Divided on the Tariff.

Since the Republican party has divided on
the tariff, one faction demanding revision of
tariff schedules and reduction of taxation, and
the other being against any change, the Re-
publican leaders have become alarmed. The
extreme protectionists are now endeavoring
to unite the party by DECLARING that the tariff
should be revised by the friends of the labor
ing men and mechanics and our industrial
interests But this appeal will not deceive
the advocates of tariff reduction. The ques-
ton has been agitated for some years. The
Republicans have been in control of both
houses of Congress aud had the Presidency
for FIVE years, and no effort at tariff revision
has been made, though Republican tariff re
formers have presented bills for tariff reduc-
ton. By command of the Trusts represen-
tives in Congress the bills never came from
the Ways and Means Committee of the House.
So long as the Trusts control the Republican
party there will be no tariff reduction of tariff
taxation by that party. A party that owes
its success to the purchase of voters by money
contributed by the Trusts cannot be relied
upon to give the people relief
The only safe course for Republican tariff
reformers is to support tariff reformers for
Congress, and then there will be tariff revision.
A moderate bill can be passed when this is
dopa

prevent some from registering.

Fighting Monarchy With One Hand
and Grasping it With the Other.

At banquet given by the Spanish War
Veterans Association at Detroit, Michigan,
last Monday, President Roosevelt spoke on
reciprocity with Cuba. He said
ave urge reciprocity because il is for our
interest to control the Cuban market, because
we are bound to place Cubans on peculiar
standing economically when they consent, IN
our interest as well as their own, to assume q
peculiar status internationally, and because it
IS fitting for a great and generous Republic to
stretch out helping hand toward her feeble
sister just starting to tread the path OF indie
pendence.'
But neither Mckinley nor Roosevelt cared
fig for the feeble sister republics of South
Africa which have been wiped off the map by
England. Not only we're the Boer ENJOYS
denied recognition as ENJOYS, and resolutions
of sympathy smothered in Republican Con-
gress, but British stations for inspecting horses
and mules were permitted to be established
in the United States. With one hand we
fought monarchy and with the other grasped
it. We drove the Spanish out of Cuba, and
stood aloof, in undisguised alliance, while
England murdered two South African repub-
lies. We had no right to do either, but it
would at least have been consistent, after
stopping Spanish cruelty in Cuba to have told
England she could not practice cruelty toward
the South African republics, and offered the
services of this government in arbitration of
difficulties
five were seeking better trade relations,
as President Roosevelt said in his Detroit
speech, why not seek advantageous trade re-
lations in South Africa as well as in Cuba ?
1t might have appeared to some as inconsist-
emf to have interfered in Africa while we were
destroying liberty in Asia, but the Republican
Administrations at Washington seems to have
had no regard for consistency since 1897.

At Least One Issue.

From the Burlington County IN. J.) Democrat.
The Republicans say the Democratic party
has no issue. The Democratic party replies
that 40 per cent. increase in the cost of living,
without corresponding increase in the in.
come of the masses, is an ISSUE While Re-
publican Congress was in session; while the
Republican party was in power and was able
to remedy this condition of affairs, it was asked
again and again to do it. Did it do so? Not
!. thing; the Republican party has not done
one solitary thing; has not passed one act that
would tend to lower the price of commodities;
not one thing has been done in the way of
restricting immigration, so that the labor of
the American workman would be better paid.
With an enormous increase in his cost of
living; with little or no increase in the amount
of what he receives; with nothing done by the
Republicans to force the Trusts to compete
with the outside world; with nothing done to
further restrict the pauper labor of Europe, is
the American workman satisfied with the state
ment that the Democratic party has no issue

Sherman Antitrust Law.

The Republican Campaign Text Book holds
up the Sherman Anti Trust law to the admir-
ing gaze of the people as one of the thirty two
good things it has done since the party was
organized. Can it be taken as standard by
which to measure the other ''good things" it
refers to-? What has it ever amounted to !?
What good has it ever done? What trust has
ever been brought to justice by it? How
much better off has the country been because
of its passage? 1t has ornamented the statute
books, it las furnished material for the Re-
publican party in their pretended opposition
to the trusts, but far as actual results it has
been worth just one hundred per cent. less
than the paper it is written on. 1t is dead
letter. The Republicans took pains to make
it so. Every Republican Attorney General
appointed since the day that that law was
passed has been trust man. Even if the law
in itself were any good it will never be en-
forced by men who are taken from the trusts
and who stand heart and soul with the trusts.
Let the party once appoint a real antitrust
man Attorney General just for once, and then
the people might believe some of their protes-
tatious as to their enmity to the trusts. But
not until then.

President Disabled.

President Roosevelt's stumping tour was
brought to sudden termination on Tuesday.
An abscess on the left leg, between the knee
and ankle, gave him so much pain ne had to
submit to an operation at indianapolis, and
the same night left for Washington. The alb
scess, it is said, is result of injuries received
in the accident at Pittsfeld, Massachusetts,,
September 8. The abscess is not serious
matter, but the President had better remain
in Washington hereafter. He's paid to be
President of the whole people, not partisan
stump orator, flying about the country at
lighting speed on special trains, endangering
his health, if not life, and likely to cause bus
mess and financial panics. Besides, it is not
in keeping with the high Office Of President OF
the greatest republic and the greatest govern
ment in the world.

Success AS An oh1ceholder.


Mr.. William Tyler Page is not much known
in Maryland. He is still less than thirty -four
years old. and the last twenty two have been
spent in Washington as an officeholder in va
rious places in the House of Representatives.
In the political changes in the House officers
Mr.. Page has manage to hold on to one place
or another. The Democrats have controlled
the offices of the House for twelve of the last
twenty-five years, and Mr.. Page has been a
remarkably valuable man or one who did not
indulge in political talk or partisan activity.
He certainly has not been either prominent
or active in Republican politics in Maryland.
According the Baltimore County Union, the
Republican organ of Baltimore county, Mr..
Pages first appearance in politics in that
county was when he appeared as delegate
to the Republican convention, when Mr..
Blakeney selected delegation to the West
minister convention to vote for Mr.. Page, at
the dictation of Senator McComas.

For the Relief Of stock Gamblers:

Leslie M. Shaw, Secretary of the Treasury,
has released $53, $50. 900 to relieve the money
stringency in New York, and has expressed a
willingness to put on deposit in the banks
$40, 000, 600 more, the receipts from the in
ternal revenue tax for the next two months.
The stringency was mainly caused by stock
gambling, and the gamblers took advantage
of President Roosevelt's sickness to depress
stocks. A panic ensued and money on call
went to % per cent. The stringency, it is
said, first began by the calling in of loans by
the banks, to furnish money to move crops,
but in this era of great Republican prosperity
Throughout the entire country such a thing is
impossible, and it begins to look as though
the banks were in the scheme to produce
stringency and force the rate of interest up.
Secretary Shaw certainly knows that the
stringency in the money market in Wall street
is the result of gambling in stocks, and he is
putting the public money to poor use in re-
lieving gamblers in distress. So long as the
United States treasury is at the command of
stock jobbers so long will they take risks in
buling or depressing stocks.
If taxation we're laid for revenue only, asst
should be, there would be no surplus with
which to relieve stringency produced by stock
gambling With no source of money supply
upon which to draw, dealings in stocks would
lose some of their speculative character and
panics and money stringency would be less
ened.
Russell Sage assigns three causes for the
present stringency. Two of them are valid,
and one is doubtful.
First, he says, is the demand for money to
move crops. Ifthis is true, It's because banks
are calling upon their reserves in the New
York banks, for local dealers everywhere can
obtain from local banks all the money neces-
sary to handle local crops.
The second reason, Mr.. Sage says, is ''the
heavy and ill-judged speculative fever which
causes stocks to be sent up beyond a reason
able level and without anything but specnla-
tive booms to justify it. This is the main
cause of the stringency.
Mr.. Sage's third reason is 'the heavy drain
upon our resources from the sub treasury and
the custom house receipts" Mr.. Sage does
not in so many words say so, but what he
means is that exorbitant tariff taxation draws
money from the legitimate channels of trade
and concentrates it uselessly in the govern
ment treasury, making money scarce.

A True Picture.
From the New York Journal.

Picture this little scene to YOURSELF
An American housewife goes into store
and buys pound of borax, paying 8 cents for
it. As she turns away with her package, an
other housewife comes in buys two pounds oil
borax and is charged scents for her purchase.
"Why do you charge me cents for one
pound Of borax and let that other woman have
two pounds for cents?'' the American house.
wife demands.
"Oh," answers the storekeeper blandly
"shes English, you know"
How long would that storekeeper, openly
discriminating in favor of the foreign and
against the native customer, be able to do
business anywhere in the United States?
Yet this transaction in borax illustrates
perfectly what the trusts are doing on clossal
scale in the home and foreign markets.

Secretary Shaw says that it will not do to
talk about revising the tariff now, that although
it is fact that there are unjust schedules in
the tariff they must be let alone, for if an
attempt was made to pull one of them out the
benefciaries of those unjust schedules would
pull the whole structure down on the party.
How is that for an acknowledgment of servile
obedience to the trusts? And that it comes
from an administration spokesman.
