A new executive department is to be created at Washington, to be knowa as the “Department of Com merce and Industry.” The duties of this office can easily be discharged by Lhe department of agriculture, and the ouly possible object in establish- ing such a department is tocreate ap pointive oftices for Hanna to dis- pense, and ip a measure satisfy the republican clamor for government pap. _ ia “Tudustrial ery By Capitalists” shoul ascribed on the republi bat , says Fr. Ducey, of New York City. The republicans may be relied upou not to follow the reverend gen- tleman’s pointed suggestion, but wheu they again mect in coavention they will r m their allegiance to the principles that will ultimately bring the laboring masses to the level of slavery if they are allowed to remain in power. 3 \ bill has been introdueed in the New York ussembly for a world’s fair in 1901 to celebrate the creation of Greater New York. Paris holds a worid’s fair in 1900 and it therefore would seem ill advised for Father Knickerbocker to have his jollification the following year, but if the project is carried out it is a foregone conclu- that New York will do herself proud aud spare no expense in the at- tempt to out-do the Chicago World's Fair, A learned divine of New York City says that the following is a million- aire’s Lord’s prayer: “My Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; my kingdom has come on earth; thy will be done—in heaven; my will be Give me this day all the re here. income Lwant. Give me my debts in Violence against humanity, in fore- ysures against my debtc Deliver us this day from all the isms that de- stroy our power to enslave humanity. Mine is the kingdum and the power, and thine be the glory, forever. Amen.” The republican party have appro- priated unto themselves all the good phrases, and seem to think they have Jain deed tu “national honor,” yest money,” **monetary reform,” and the like. These onus of honor and honesty in the face of republican acts of rascality and robbery are making those. inspir- ing and erstwhile honored phrases synonyms for loot and larceny. Un- der their hands “national honor’ is the poor to make the rich nopetary system that tra forms a bon-interest-bearing currency into a currency bearing a yearly in- terest of $13,000,000 is ‘monetary re- “merit system, protes robbing ricl form debtor is required to pay two dollars for the one he borrowed. In short, the e phrases are used by them to cover up the most dastardly and dis- honest schemes involving the perpe- tration of injustice and dishonor. That the manufacturers through- out this country need no help at the hands of the government is evidenc- ed by the action of the National Manufacturers’ Association in estab- lishing a museum at Philadelphia, in which samples of foreign goods sold in competitive markets are displayed, tagged with information showing cost, selling price, freight charges, tariffs, and other data which a manu- facturer would want before going in- to competition with a competitor. ‘This data is gathered by the associa- tion for the use of the manufacturers are beginning to realize that they must seek access to the foreign markets and pot expect the home market to absorb the entire produets of their mills. In waking this move the Manufacturers’ Association have who | 1 { ‘honest money” means that a | tors down the vail of delusion which | the republicans have dangled befor tion” is a farce and that “foreign pauper labor” has n» terrors for them. ‘ | full-belief that the te the people for these many years, and | would improve within a now show to the people that “protec: | time. But these offers were refused.” THE LATIMER CASE. It isencouraging to see that con- trary to what has happened in similar cases in other communities, the crime of Sheriff Martin and his eighty depu- ties, of Latimer, Pa., in marking an unjustifiable attack on striking miners and murdering or wounding a score of them during the coal strike last sum- mer, has not been passed over or forgotten. The event caused a wave of intense indignation to sweep over the country, and the wholesale slaughter of the striking miners was universally condemned as a murder- ous proceeding thinly veiled under the form of law. The grand jury which mvestigated the matter did its duty and the sheriff and his associates were indicted. But it was not without precedent that the matter should end there. Influence can accomplish a great deal, even with officers of the judiciary. The people of Latimer are to be congratu- lated on then evident intention that the assailants of the unoffending strikers shall receive the punishment to which they may be deemed entitled by a jury. The case has come to j trial. it is expect -d that the tnal will continue for over a week, as over 100 witnesses have been summoned to testify on the trial. ‘The result will be of greater import- ance than the mere puuishment of the offenders, for if they are found guilty even of a technical abuse of power the effect will be greatly beneficial to the cause of the poorer classes. It will prove that they, in common with their employers and the rich, have nghts under the constitution of the United States which even men who have been armed to aid in preserving the public peace are bound to respect It will prove that government by in- junction and intimidation is hostle to the spirit of American institutions. —Marqutte Mining Journal. BANK CIRCULATION. With unblushing effrontery the gold- advocating press has asserted that tie banks offer better security on note circulitiun than the government. In discussing this grotesque assump tion, attention has been called in these columns says, the Chicago Dis- patch, to the failure of the Chestnut street bank of Philadelphia. This institution was insolvent in 1896, and it was known to be insolvent by those | whose official duty it was to look after such matters. But the people did not know this fact, and this insolvent bank continued to accept deposits and to do a general banking business for a year atter it was financially rotten. Would the notes of the Chestnut | street bank secured by its official fur- niture, have been as safe as govern- ment notes? But, recently, another startiing case of “bank security” has come to light. What bank has a wider reputation for solidity and good management than | the old Chemical of New York? — But its cashier, who hasn’t “takena_ va- cation for twenty years,” loaned Promoter Grable $393,c00 on securi- ties the most valuable part of whic: was “hypnotism.” By all means let “the government go out of the banking business.” By all means destroy the greenbacks. By all means place the issuing and ! control of currency in the hands of the banks. These private institutions | are so much safer than the govern- ment. Their assets are so much more valuable. It is hoped that the gold press will quote frequently the history of the financial management of the Chestnut Street Bank of Philadelphia and the Chemical Bank of New York. It will greatly strengthen their arguments for a bank circulation. HYPOCRISY EXVOSED. The hypocrisy of manufacturers whose “infant industries” were so generously looked after in the Ding- Jey tariff bill, which built up a wall of “protection” around them against “foreign competition,” was exposed very forcibly by Hatty Green, who recently put the owners of the New Bedford cotton mills to the touch and forced them to show their hand. A great strike is on among the em- ployees of those mills, they refusing to accept a second cut of 10 per cent. in wages. The owners have closed down their mills, giving it out that the reduction in wages was rendered necessary by reason of market con- ditions and lack of funds to tide them over the season of depression. Now comes Mrs. Green and offers to Juan the mill owners all the money they need at a low rate of interest te carry on their business without cut- ting the wages of the operatives, which offer was promptly declined. In speaking of her offer Mrs. Green says: “Now, I believe that the time will come when the product of the mills will command good prices. I explain- ed this to some of the leading azents and offered to loan them all tbe money they wanted to tide them over | the present depression in the cloth market. I went toa bank president and made the same offer. I was will- ing to place enough money in the banks of the city to the credit of the mills to enable them ty con- tinue to pay living wages, in the ket conditions oer was purely a business’ proposi- tion, and the prompt refusal of ber proferred aid shows plainly that it is not lack of funds that animated the operators to cub their employees wages, but’ a desire to grind down’ the wage earners in order to profit thereby themselves, ’Tis not lack of funds that causes Capital to oppress Labor—'tis plutocratic greed. And in this instance Mrs. Green has earned the hearty commendations of labor by exposing the animus for the wage reduction aud lock-out. laborers heed the object lesson? Will the scales drop from their eyes? Will they awaken to the realization that “protection”? as espoused by McKin- ley, Dingley, et al., protects and en- riches the rich manufacturerers, while the poor wage earners grows poorer and have a harder task to irk outa mere substance aud are being ground down to such a state that unless they arise und throw off this accursed reign of protected monopoly that they will be crushed so low that slavery itself would be a relief from their misery? A HAUNTED TREE. The Coon Wogs Turned Tail When They Struck It. Last fall a party of coon hunters from this city were in the woods in this vicinity and the dogs hunted splendid- ly until they struck this old tree, says the Danville (Ky.) Advocate. There they tucked their iails between their legs and simply flew. They whined and Gave other evidences of fear and could not be coaxed into hunting any more that night. Finally the hunters them- selves became seared. One of them de- clared he heard the sound of a voice as if from svme soul in deep distress. This settled it. Every man in the crowd suddenly remembered that he had busi- ness in town and townward the whole layout proceeded without further par- leying er loss of time. The next day an old gentleman residing in Danville was told of the occurrence and he re- called the fact that he had been one of the party which had a similar ex- perience near this old tree three years ago and he said that the spot had been haunted for many years, A long time ago an old gentleman by the name of Louis Streat was murdered for his money and the murderer had dragged the body to the foot of this tree and covered it with dry leaves. The mur- derer was never punished by law. A young man named Henderson was ar- rested, charged with the crime, and at his examining trial was liberated on $5,000 bail. He jumped his bond and disappeared some time afterward. A New Evolution. Two or three mornings after the ar- rival of a new butler the mistress of the house took the opportunity of ask- ing the cook how she liked her new fellow-servant. The report was an ex- cellent one. “In fact, ma’am,” said the cook, “the servants’ hall is quite a dif- ferent place now.” Not unnaturally the mistress pressed for further par- ticulars. ‘‘Well, he talks so cleverly,” said the cook. “Last night, for in- stance, he explained things ta us for an hour and a half.” “Explained things—what things?” said the mis tress, now really interested. “Well,” was the reply, “he was telling us how we are all descended from Mr. Dar win.”’—Wesiminster Gazette.
