ANOTHER CHAPTER

On the Labor Question—A Touch at the Tariff. En.

Revnew:—

It has always lx.-on the boast of the common law of England (that underlies our system of jurisprudence) that it possesses the inherent quality of adapt ing itself to every condition of human affairs, however new and unusual they may be found. But in the case before us we are at I09S for precedents to aid us in coming to a safe conclusion.

It has always been a favorite doctrine that a man has a right to buy where he can buy cheapest and sell where he can sell highpst. This must always continue to be the leading factor in business as long as mankind are governed by purely selfish motives. Still the monitions of conscience, justice and fair dealing between man and man have always been ready to break in on the cold rules of greed and selfishness. Wise statesmen have long since discovered that any rule however plausible it may seem where it6 effects are unjust and oppresive, mQst be restrained, otherwise the evils flowing from it will destroy society, and the oppressor and oppressed alike will suffer from the avenging wrong. We know for the last thirty years the right to buy goods in the competing markets of the world has been dented to the American consumer. Me must pay cost and also a duty, ai.d the law fixes the amount. Where is the difference in principle between paying bv arbitration the price of goods and the price oi labor. For the same reason public policy the right to take usurious interest has long been limited. I he right of tbe debtor to an exemption from execution to a reasonable amount of property is now fully recognized. I he law will not allow a man to sell his liberty nor will specific performance of service be inforced (xcept as a penalty for crime. We force the wealthy to pay taxes to educate alike the rich and poor, and also to provide for the needy, and helpless. These are all invasions of the rules and laws that greed and selfishness have long maintained. It is right that wealth should be taxed to educate the children of the poor. We can sec 110 reason why the employer should not be compelled to pay the man on whose skill and muscle he depends for his profit, such wages as will enable him to support his children in a condition in life as will lit them to be become worthy citizens of a great republic.

Indeed, it is hard to discover the necessity or propriety of educating the children of the poor if it should become their destiny to become wage earners and bo compelled to accept such wagee as competition in the world's labor maket will compel them to take. Their education only makes them more keenly sensative of the wrongs imposed on them. We are now ready to say that public policy demands that well estab'ished mine operators and such like establishments should pay their employees such wages as will enable them to live in ordinary decency and comfort where they manage their domestic affairs with prudence and economy And if the parties after a fair trial cannot agree, a court organized for the purpose as arbitrators should determine the question.

Two difficulties here present themselves. 1st: How are arbitrators to settle a question of that kind wltnout examining into the social relations, the mental and physical abilities and personal environments of each of the parties? Capitalists hold this objection to be insuperable. That both parties as well as public policy would reject such a proposition as interferring in private affairs, and the determining the question would be purely arbitrary, depending entirely on tko views and prejudice of the arbitrators. We admit there

0

IB

much force in the objection. But we have already seen that in matters of mutual contract the law will not permit a man to collect his debt by lav/ even when he has promised to pay it and has the ability to do so, all becauce the debtor will not have six hundred dollars left after payment. The same reasoning will apply in the payment of wages and even stronger. The workman is hardly a free agent. He is under duress. He must work or starve and freeze. Such is the the law of his being. Now, it is an established fact in science that where man is denied the necessary means of physical development, it is impossible to advance him intellectually, and he will inevitably decline in the scale of humanity. Society cannot permit that, neither should it permit the employer to select only those who have no one etae to support, because they can work cheaper, because that would cut off the possibility of rearing offspring by the wage earner.

It is true that we have scarcely any precedents as to what amount is necessary for tbe support of a man and hiB family, but we do know that the amount -a.

cil and often paid is so limited and "titled that educated Americans have refused to tako it, and as a result immense nuinosrB of pauperized laborers have been imported to supply their Places. And that, too, by firms and corporations engaged in manufacturing go "Is protected by duties and bounties.

I have often wondered if when the agents ot the manufacturers were submitting their petitions to the committees of congress insisting on higher duties if they ever disclosed the fact that their employers were imported laborers. -"W. verily at such times they were all native Americans and they even proposed to divide profits with them, but they never proposed to arbitrate the question of how much they would divide.

The other difficulty suggested by the capitalist is that after a scale of wages is determined the laborer by law cannot be compelled to accept it. That is true as to the enacted law, but there is the law of necessity behind the workman that insures his acceptance. The only option he has ib that he may select the kindest master.

REVIEW

Last week's

Inhuman Children.

The most depraved case of filial ingratitute that has ever been our misfortune to chronicle, has been called to our notice recently. That which makes it the more heart rending, is because since our early boyhood days we have known the old people in queolion and know them to have been always highly respectable and giving their children more than the average care ot parents. Out of a large family the parents survive all except one son and if the half that is told of his cruelty to his aged parents be true, a coat of tar and featherB would not attone for his sine. The eon's wife is not an angel but worse, if possible, than tbe unnatural offspring. The mother is a cripple and the father nearly ninety years old yet they have to work like Blaves more especially the old gentleman, and receive curses from both son and daughter-in-law every day. With a 120 acre farm and nearly $2,000, in bank the old gentleman is denied tobacco money and scarcely given enough to eat. If he desires to rest the daughter-in-law drives him to the field with curses and most foul mouthed language. Waynetown people know of these outrages upon these old people yet DO complaint ia filed against the unnatural son and his heartless wife. It is not our purpose to give the names of these people at this time, but it this hint is not sufficient, we promise our readers a bit of most delectable and Bensational reading matter from round about old Waynetown.—New Richmond Enterprise.

Joseph Goes Free.

Saturday morning Joseph Keller, living north of the city, was run in by the police on a complaint filed by Keller's family, charging that he was dangerously crazy. He was released Monday on a writ of habeas corpus, the court being satisfied that he had gotten over his crazy spell. Sometime ago Keller was declared insane, but was not sent to the asylum awaiting further developments,

1898.

contained an

account of the defalcation of Superintendent King of Bloomington, for S7,000, and attributed the cause for the act to the wiles and machinations of a pretty Crawfordsville girl whose name we were unable to learn. Thougl persistent inquiry we learn that the girl in question is none other than pretty Nannie Rosebaum. Judging from reports from Bloomington Xannie ii.ust have led him a pretty merry clip. King is a married man and has always bourn a good reputation. When he met Nannie he was completelyjfascinated and his downfall was quick and decisive. She forced him into borrowir.g large sums of money, and into forging his father's name to notes. He also succeeded in having his wife mortgage her farm and the money was spent on the winsome but naughty Nannie.

Nannette Rjsebaum is about twentyone years of age and a most beautiful girl. She first came into notorious prominence while yet a school girl at Linden by bringing suit against a young man of that placs for trifling with her affectioc.s. The case was compromised and Nannie then drifted to this city where she worked in the Gilbert music store for a short time. From here ehe went to Indianapolis and was married to a man named Barrett. The marriage proved unhappy and they soon seperated Then Nannie started the pace that soon kills and managed to live elegantly off of just such suckers as King. Nannie, it is claimed, is now at Martinsville, looking for new victims, and she will no doubt Boon be heard from again.

New War Tax Circular.

Below is a copy of the latest war ,tax circular just issued from the internal revenue department: "The commissioner of internal revenue has decided that where jugs, demijohns and kegs containing wine ar sold or put up for sale, they must be stamjed whenever their size and material show them to be used as bottles or as substitutes therefor. lfce retail dealer who draws wine from a barrel into a bottle and sells same from the bottle by the glass is not required to stamp the bottle.

He further decides that the exemption granted in the proviso of section 17 of the act of June 13, 1898, to co-opera-tive building and loan associations, etc., is confined to the stocks and bonds issued by the association therein mentioned, and, therefore, does not relieve them from stamp tax on checks, mortgages, and other instruments issued bv them.

Also 'bonds given as security for costs to a clerk of court are exempt from stamp tax, but all other bonds given to such clerk are by no means exempt. I he exempting provision only inciudes such bonds as may be required in legal proceedings."

After A, P. Hanna.

At their county convention last Saturday the populists of Cass county pas sed the following resolution condemnor the action of State Chairman Hanna:

"KEsor.vnT), That we condemn the act ion of our state chairman for proposing fusion with the democrats on their county ticket in Montgomery county and a9k that he make some explanation as to his flagrant violation against fusion passsed at|the statejeonvention. The rejection of his proposals by the Bourbon goldbug Democrats of Montgomery county is humiliating alike to our cha.r man, A. P. Hanna, and the Populists of the state, and we demand that a meeting of the state central committee be called and his resignation be detuiuled.''

Still in Hard Luck.

Ihe Norton & Joee9 circus, which gave an exhibition in this city Thursday afternoon and evening, got out of town yesterday morning at any early hour. Thursday evening the prospects of the show stranding here were exceptionally bright, creditors in the shape of of a hotel keeper of Rockville and a bill poster of the same town being on hand with injunction proceedings at the clo=e of the performance. "General" Coxey, who has leased the tent and car to the aggregation, was also on hand to protect his property. The management of the circus, however, arranged matters satisfactorily by the payment of S12.."0 in cash and the assignment of orders on local merchants aggregating $30. The circus gave a performance, last night at Sullivan.—Terre Haute Express.

Capt. Billings Injured.

Monday morning while out in his yard Capt. H. M. Billings slipped and fell, striking heavily on his shoulder. As the shoulder was all Khot up and crushed while the captain was doing service for his country in the civil war, it was the worst place on which he could fall. Tho bones were not solid and the fall seemed to break them as they were when he was wounded. Dr. Riffle was summoned and dressed the injuries and we are glad to say the captain is improving without danger any serious results. Veedersburg News.

Lebanon's City Treasurer. The affairs of City Treasurer Bryan, of .Lebanon, have proven to be much embarrassed, and he has appointed J. N. Ritchie trustee on behalf of his bondsmen, to whom he has deeded real estate held by him, also a paid-up life insurance polioy calling for $2,500. Altogether the property and and insurance policy call for 87,500, more than sufficient to cover his official shortage, which is placed at $4,000, but which# may be reduced by expert examination The bondsmen are M. F. Campbell, A. C. Uaily, E. T. Lane, J. W. Pinnell, J. E. Pinnell and J. S. Harrison.

Shot Through the Window. While exhibiting a rifle to a customer at the Zack Mahorney store, Saturday morning, Will Fell, a clerk, experienced a surprise from which he has not yet recovered. In showing how easily the trigger worked, he aimed the gun through the plate glass window and pulled it off. To his astonishment there was an explosion and as a result a neat bullet hole adorns the big window. There ie considerable mystery as to how the gun became loaded, as guns in stock are never loaded.
