Why does the Republican papers continue to howl that the Homesteadi trouble should not be brought into politics? They well know the cause and are afraid to meet a fair andi> honorable discussion of the Affair. -~ The work Dudley and Quay did in ISSB will be managed directly from the White House in 1892, but the little man with the large liat • will have a good deal, ol trouble this year in seeing that “none escape and that they vote our ticket.’ Attacks 6t thr Harris,on organs, upon Judge Gresham are jn line with a fatality of events, seemingly directed by Providence, which is to overwhelm one of the smallest men who ever figured in high public life iu this country.

BenjaMin HarrisOn and McKiN ley’s policies with Minneapolis platfOrm is equaL to and in sYmpathy with— On the suggestion of Senator Allison tire Republicans*of the sen ate refused to agree to the. O’Neill. anti-Pinkerton amendment to the Sundry Civil appropriation bill adopted by the House. As nom but Republicans hire Pinkertons t< do their shooting forthem, the sen ate feels committed to Pinkertonism as a Republican institution. The murderer Frick is still at larue, so are the Pinkertons that be hired to assist him in the foul and dastardly deed. Can it be that wc will call this a free country when men can prepare for a battle as Frick did, when he clad his boats with iron on the inside and then hired a lot of the worst men in this country to man the boats to shoot down inoffensive men. It is said that some of the boxigy of cartridges captured from the Pinkertons at Homestead bear the label of the Frankfort Arsenal and are the property of the Unite States. If so, who issued them? This is a question to which an answer shoud be found when the House committee takes up the investigation of the Pinkertons and the part they bore in the affair. Land Commissioner Carter has resigned bis job under Harrison to become Harrison’s deputy in the management of the Republican National Committee. . He may get it back again after the campaign is over, but he will not hold it after next March. The officeholders who packed the Minneapolis convention will walk the plank in the first week of Cleveland’s second term. The Journal says: Tbe ques'ion asked by the Democrat as to what benefits will be derived.by the laboringmen. from the Carnegie < ombine, is boyish and silly. Quite an explanation indeed. The Carnegie combine and the Journal’s silly explanation somewhat resembles theProbibition editor’s dilemma when his liquor jug was discovered by the office boy. The jug though branded “strictly for medical purposes” caused a “kick out” - for the boy. The iron workers at Homestead and elsewhere, have discovered the jug labeled “protection for American labor.” Whether or not the prescription was written by Dr. McKinley the workers are out of employment. Again: Is the editor of the Democrat wi'lin? to make editorial statement that he pays his heip on his paper, an average of even half as .much as the average amount received by the laborers of tbe Carnegie 'ron workers. Our answer is yes, on an average. The amount of proceeds from Carnegie’s in vest mentis -perhaps from CO tO'Bo-per cent. That from the j Democrat, or any other county I riewspapei - , is much less than that of Carnegie. la proportion to the proceeds of the investment the Democrat pays several times higher wages than Carnegie. The shooting of 11. C. Frick',' chairman of the Carnegie company, by a Russian jew, was the occasion for another of the tyrants that are placed over.the locked-out men at Homestead to show his brutality. When the news ot the shooting reached camp a young ffian by the name of lams, of Co. K, fO4th Reg’t, cheered fdr Bergman tire assassi», m h<• 1, a brute-by tbe name of StreaWr, who was in command of the regiment, had tbe regiment formed i-i line and asked for the man who shouted for Bergman. When- lams stepped out and said be w.as tlie mail, when without any trial, the officer ordered him Lied up by the thumbs for thirty minutes, bjit well knowing 'that he would commit murder he bad jwo surgeons attend him and when they saw life Jfcas about gone they told tbe tyrant l

irid he oidered him cut down, whep iw dropped to the ground as though u? was dead, aud the surgeons workd with him sometime before they ■oiild bring him to, when he was ; t ied to the hospital where he was l>ermitted to stay until he was ible to walk, they shaved one side of hD head and half of bis mustache off and drummed him out of ■tanip. While tbe last puhishment ,s what he may have deserved, if given a fair trial, but the inhuman part was the tying up by the thumbs for which the brute should be dealt with iu a manner similar to the punishment of the Indians. We had the pleasure not long since to talk to a Republican freinrt who had some very good ideas in reference to the tariff. He re getting his eyes open and surely from the tone of his conversation there is a chance of being freed from the galling yoke of ignorance. He said that the tariff placed the mauucfacturer in a condition to pay good wages if be would, and he further said that the manufacturer would never increase a man’s wages as long as that man placed his labor on the market at what it would bring, especially when tbe supply was greater than the demand. lie said: “The law of supply and demand controls tbe price of labor in just the same manner that it controls the price of anything else. By an increase of the tariff on a certain article it will enable the manufacturer to pay a proportional increase per cent on the daily wages of bis hired help but you must remember that he is not compelled to do so. It is the laborers business to see that his labor does not go on the market at a discount. After the manufacturer rS protected and enabled to pay good wages, it is the place of the laborer to see that he does just what he agrees to do.” At this point, he began to justify labor organizations. It is not our part nor is it our business to care for organizations. It is the laborers business to care for his own institutions. If he does not, nftone else will. But we do glory in his determination to enjoy the rich blessings that the Republican pkrty promises him every four years to get his vote. We think that we are justified in saying that if it were not for the firm resistance the Capitalist receives at the hand of labor, his wages would not be sufficient to procure enough good wholesome food to impart enough strength to do a decent day’s work. If the laborer is-too loud in his resistance to a reduction of wages, Pinkerton thugs are hired to shoot him down and he is regarded as an out-law. It may be that he does rash acts, but instead of destroying his only means of defense, he should be taught to know his rights and to maintain them in a lawful and a manly way. We are amused at some of the leading Republican papeis, they have, from the very start of the Homestead troubles settled down to defend the capitalist and have closed their eyes against wrong doings of th% company, and have persistently arraigned the locked out men for their rash gets. The truth of the matter is that the Republican party, the millionaire and aristocracy walk hand in .hand and hate and fear organized labor in about the same manner that the confirmed drunkard with tbe “jimjams” hates and fears imaginary reptiles. The millionaire manufacturer faces a reality while the latter does not, is the only difference? ' ' The wages of the Homestead workmen, skilled and unskilled, average $2155 p r week. - Several x>f lhe men now out on a s’rike receive SI,BOO per year. It is rather hard to see why men object’to. ruch treatment as this. —Journal. To one who has been watching the Homestead -troubles, the above language would look strange. In the first place there was no strike. It was a lockout. . The men did not object to the average of 121.55 per week, they objected to the' reduction. They were satisfied with the wages they were getting, and were willing to work on. Is it possible that the Journal man has been playing Rip Van Winkle, or has tbe lockout demoralized the sage in such away that he cahnot regain his wits. The trouble with bur friend is that he sees that a deathblow has been given his pet theory and that the friends of the people are after the truth and he, like the long legged birqi we often hear called the “Kill-deer,” flutters around at a distance, aijping to divert the attention of the people from the real facts of tbe case. ' Mr. Carnegie is aiming to strike a . j <, ' ‘ . r • ~ ’A calk ” -

dual I, blow' to oigaiii'.-i d l:<bor , Labor is defending its organization,' its only means of protection. As the j, jimil man is a sort of a pohti- 1 ,al 1 iter, he no doubt has neghicted the Homestead lockout, as the RepubKcan papers have been constantly lel-ing him that politics has nothing to do with the “strike.” We d<’ not blame the Republican politicians very much as they are acting instinctively in self-defense as they have been condemning the course that labor pursued from the beginning ond have justified capital, right or wrong from the start. How can labor and Republicanism obtain views that differ so materially. Democracy upholds neither when in the wrong, ..but believes that a speedy and satisfactory settlement should be made, administering justice to all concerned. Perhaps it would be well’for our country editors to read both sides of tbe question, hoar the evidence impartially and then they should not render their decisions ma hasty manner. Democracy believes that there should be a reform but they do not countenance any rash movements as long as we have a free ballot. The following clipped from a labor paper will show how the advance guards of the labor movement regard the political phase of the Homestead affair: Andrew C»rnegie is a typical protector of American labor. He protects it by boycotting it cut ot itrp'.ovinenf. Protection is triumphan for hi . but not for tiis atnployes. His wealth >s estitna ed at $50000,000 dal’ars., acquired, some sav, h, industry, sobriety and the iove of God, but nearly every do lar of it is “blood money” wrung fro n the toiler Four ' ears ago Camt g'e com;;e-led his men to vote for ‘ protec’ion to American labor,” and rewarded their fidel ty a few months later by reducing wages. A year or so ago he made another 1 eduction; and when the men rebelled, I’i ikerton’s cut. tin oats were imported to_jarce them, at the point of the bayone*, into submission. Now, still another reduction of 16 percent, is made, and the men must submit or die! They are desperate, and fear has caused Carnegie to import Pinkerton’s private assassins to “protect American Jabor.” Could anything s conclusively demonstrate the mockery o- the claim thal “pro ection” raises the wages of labor? Here is an industry pro ect d by a ranging from 40 to 150 p r cent., ye: labor Is ground down to, and even below, the starvation point. Tne average wages of the men in Carnegie's wo ks do nut ex ceed $5 per week. They even less, for there are weeks in the year when the works are shut down and the men earn nothing. But few oi the unfortunates are Anrerici n citizens. They are loreigners imported to take the place of American citizens who did not relish the kind ot protection they were receiving from Mr. Carnegie. Slaves though these foreigners were tn their own country, they find theicondition here even more abject. They are power'esss now, but we warn Carnegie' and others like h'tn to beware The day of reckoning will cotne. Itmay not be now, but it most be ro >n. 7’iie public'Notification. It was a happy day for the Democracy last week. The truly Democratic way of formally notifying tlie candidates for president and vice-president of the honor that had fallen to their lot was successful even beyond anticipation. The most satisfactory feature cf the affair was its genuihe enthusiasm. Not for one man or two men, but for the principals they represent. Grove? Cleveland stands for Democratic principles — liberty, and. equality of all men before the law. His devotion to these principles and his honesty and integrity have been proven. So the honor paid the man is really an expression of renewed fealty to tho underlying ethics of justice upon which the republic is founded. The one comprehensive issue between the parties, that includes all lesser issues is the equality of a” men before tbe law as against class legislation to promote class prosperity, regardless of the fort;...es of the masses.. The scene at the Madison Square Garden'must prove an inspiration to tbe party for earnest and untiring endeavor, in tbe sincere belief that the best interests of the country depend upon the success of tbe ticket. The greeting address of Chairman Wilson contained some fine epigrammatic passages which will be 'remembered and repeated, for instance.’ “The necessities of government are the beginning and lhe necessities of government the ending- 'of just taxation;” and “Against the-eontralization of power in the federal government and tbe centralization ot wealth in favored classes we fight as against tbe enemies of freedom,” Mr. Cleveland’s reply was dignified, candid and earnest, as has utterances always are. The address of lion. Stephen White, of California, to Hon. A. E. Stevenson, tbe nominee for vicepresident, was a model of conciseness and good taste. He compre bended much in few wprda when he said: “Candid in our platform, rejoicing m the Character and states-

icious of tho honesty and ability of those upou whose suffrages we must rely, we are prepared and ai xious to meet ■ the issue. We have! I nothing to fear and can have noth-1 1 ing to regret.” Mr. Stevenson was modest and felicitous in his reply. The cheering crowd numbered nearly as many as were assembled in tho famous wigwam where the ticket was made. It was a most auspicious opening of Hie campaign and tbe precedent thus established will surely have,following. Nothing could be more in keeping with the spirit of true Democracy than tho public declaration of the party’s choice and tho public acceptance of the trust. No better occasion cotfid be devised for an outspoken and unqualified endorsement of party doctrine aud an earnest of work for tho principles it embodies. r/77; SHOOTING OF FRICK. The shooting of 11. C. Frick is a lamentable occurrence. Murder always is. In this case it is to be particularly regretted because the thoughtless and those whose interests will be advanced by such a course will attribute responsibility for the crime to the locked-out men at Homestead. This will be done in spite of the fact that it is the rankest possible injustice. The assassin was in no way connected with tbe troubles at Homestead, had neve been employed in lhe works, and is most bitterly denounced by the men. The effect in the situation in the iron mills will, doubtless, be just the reverse of what tbe assassin thought—if he thought at all—that it would be. It will, to a great extent, cause popular sympathy to be withdrawn from the men and transformed to the wonuded employer. And the enemies of organized labor will harp upon it as an invincible argument against labor organizations. It is an occurrence in every way most unfortunate for the men. It is a remarkable and regretable fact that a labor trouble like that at Homestead always brings to the surface the agitators, tbe anarchists, the irreconcilables of both sides—for there are agitators, anarchists, and irreconcilables, and cranks among the capitalists just as well as among the laboring classes. 11. C. Frick is a fine sample of the capitalistic irreconcilable and, Cha'Us A. Donna, of the New York Sun, is irreconcilable, agitator, anarchist and crank all rolled into one. The course of such as these is just as harmful, just as dangerous to the public peace as that of the Most’s and that of the Burkman’s. In one respect labor, as represented at Homestead has the advantage over capital. It has done, everything to suppress its anarchists and keep them in the background, while capital has been patting Irreconcilables Dana and Frick on the back for -their course. It is a pity that these extremists of both kinds cannot be brought into subjection. As it is they are steadily and rapidly drawing the great conservative middle classes of both sides into an hostile attitude toward each other, and working up the bitterness to such a pitch that compromise and agreement will soon be impossible, and the only settlement of existing differences left will be an appeal to the arbitrament of arms. The Dana’s and the Burkman’s, the Most’s and Frick’s aje alike responsible for the coming conflict. If they continue on their present course peace is'impossible. The shooting of Frick in itself was merely the act of a monomaniac driven stark mad by the excitements of recent events around Homestead. It can in no just way reflect upon the lock-out employes ot the Carnegie company,, A morbid individual mind and hot a community sentiment inspired it. It ought to have no effect on the situation at Homestead. It ought not to increase the hostility between capital and labor, and will not if tbe irreconcilables of both sides can be made to take a back seat and keep it. John Foster’s deplomacy is still spelled with as. His boast now is that he aud Pat Egan have bullied the Chilians into paying $75,000 for their assanit on the Baltimorc’s sailors in Valparaiso. He omits to rnentionthat the assault resuled from tho hostility towards Americans to Foster's own mercenary intrigue against the Chillian Government had contributed. Now ’how much will Foster pay the Chilians for having detained Jbeir ship, the I lata, by irregular proceedings, under a guarantee that Harrison’s
