Republican Prosperity,


While Republicans are talking prosperity
aud standing pat on the great good times
everybody is enjoying. 10000 troops have
been called GU, in Pennsylvania TO coerce
siriLers.ia the coal mines who want PETER
wages aud honest weighing Of the coal they
mine. The Governor of New York, has
called out regiment of militia to start a
trolly line in Queensbury, where the motor
men are on strike on the Hudson Waller rail-
road for better wages, and troops have been
called out in New Orleans to overawe strik-
ing motormen. The prosperity is all monopo-
lized by the few. The wage-worker is con-
fronted with higher prices for bread, meat,
coal, and all necessities of life, while his
wages have not been increased at all. or only
slight pei cent. in exceptional instances.
There can be no genuine prosperity unless
labor is employed at fair wages, and labor is
certainly not satisfied with existing conditions.

A Steel Rail Contract.

The following is an item of news published
ia the New York World of April 9, 1901:
"Mr. Charles Thulin, a Pennsylvania con-
tractor, recently secured contract to supply
rails for Russia's great Siberian railway. He
asked the leading Steel Trust companies here
for bids They all asked him about $35 per
ton with freight to be added. Mr.. Thulin
went over to England, sublet his contract to
an English firm, and one of the same COM
panies that had asked him $35 per ton, plus
the freight. here, sold the rails at $24 per ton
delivered in England to the English subcon
tractor
former, and now chairman of the Republican
Congressional Committee, observed last year,

keting of surplus product"

The Majority in Pennsylvania.

From The Philadelphia Ledger, Republican.
The early prediction, from the state head
quarters, of 150, 900 to 200, 600 majority for
Pennypacker has familiar sound These
are the customary figures, aud they usually
come at about this point in the campaign.
Indeed, Senator Quay gave out these figures
some weeks ago, starting at the maximum,
but conveniently allowing margin to the
lower figure. OF course, the present estimate
is based upon reports from the counties. !"
1t always is. But the county reports are not
given, and 1t is observed that the campaign
has not been abandoned because victory is
already assured. As a matter of fact, there
is known to be no such assurance. The chief
significance of these campaign predictions is
as measure of the majority expected to be
ground out by the election machinery in Phil
adalnhia

When Republicans talk about the bond issue
of the Cleveland administration, remind them
that the plates for the FIRST issue were made
under the orders of Harrisons Secretary of
the Treasury, Hon. Charles j. Foster, while
the protective tariff was in force; in other
words, that the Harrison administration Gre
ated the conditions which made the necessity
for those bonds and had prepared the plates
to issue them; and remind them that when
Cleveland ended his first administration he
left surplus of 5000, 600, 600 in the Treasury,
and that when he came back in 1892 he found
that the Harrison administration had not only
depleted the Treasury but had found it neces-
sary to prepare to make bond issue in order
TO meet the contingent expenses of the Gov
eminent, and that in making the issue Ceve-
land only carried out the policy the mal:ad-
ministration of the Harrison administration
made necessary.

A Flat Failure.

The conference of representatives of the
coal miners and coal operators, called by
President Roosevelt, was held in Washington,
and adjourned without reaching an agreement
Mitchell, the representative of the miners.
agreed to send the miners TO work at once and
to submit the differences between the men
and the mine owners to board of arbitration
to be appointed by the President. The mine
operators refused to recognize Mitchell. They
contended that they had men ready to go to
work, and if afforded protection they could
furnish coal in plenty.
There was great disappointment tamong the
miners that the conference was a failure, and
many people, with dismal outlook for the
winter before them, shared in the disappoint-
ment.
The ADVOCATE last week charged the Pres
ident with more concern for the welfare of
the Republican party than in the welfare of
the people, and that in calling the conference
he was simply making an effort 10 save the
Republican party from impending defeat. If
it was concern for the people, he would not
have allowed the situation to become so desper-
ate, and offered his services to end the strike
several months ago.
1t now transpires that Senator Quay, seeing
defeat for his ticket in Pennsylvania, urged
the President to call the conference. The
Senator first sounded the strike leaders and
got their consent to attend a meeting with the
mine operators at Washington, and then com
municated with the President.
1t is true that the President urged the mi
ners and operators to come to settlement,
appealing to their patriotism and humanity to
end the strike. But he acted upon the re-
quest of Quay, and whoever heard of Quay
having any patriotism or humanity. And the
President was told by Quay that unless the
strike was soon ended disaster would overtake
the Republican party.
