FOUR THINGS NF. J; D/> D.
Oar free schools can never accomplish
the object for which they wrre
established, saj 3 the Progressive Farmer,
without a nior.) liberal school
tax, giving us money enough to do
all that money alone can do.
In the second place, wo must have
well trained, well pai 1 professional
teachers.
In the third placs, we want the
best possible supervision?such supervision
as will secure unity of plan
and concert of action.
Those three factors ? sufficient
- money, competent teachers and the
right kind of supervision?will give
us schools capable of educating the
people, And then we must have in
the fourth place, a compulsory law
to compel the attendance of all the
children subject to the schools. No
uso raising the boo/a boo that a compulsory
education law will force the
negro to the school house as well ac
Ilia white child. It js a well
known fact that the negro will go t
school, law or no law, if it is opjen to
4 him, and there is where he shows hi?
'good sense, while the white people
a are very careless and seem in many
iuoiuuwo h'ju i yj givu a rn.i^j ? injiiici
their children get any schooling or
not. The compulsory law would
: bring few if any more negroes to
school, but there would have to be
m?r? houee room instnnter in the
white schools.
"Until the Democratic campaign
* text book was published it was not
gem ra'ly known how great tho number
of trusts was. In that public-action
the number is placed at 2X7,
V with a caplization of $6,972, i I1
Of this number it is asserted that at
.least 1(>9 having a capitalization of
# $i>,090,891,012, are able to charge ex^
horbitnnt prices because of the pro;
tection they receivs from the tariff."
V And that is the reason there is such
>a howl against trusts. When a trust
?-.lias tho protection of the tnriif to the
Vextent that, they can manufacture in
America, shin their product across
t^the Atlantic Ocean and sill it at a
ii'priee that successfully competes
?with the same article manufactured
In Europe, the taritT freezing out
'European competition Jover hero by
, axcesslverates, thus protected, charge
atheir own home peo, 1) more t'ian
they do the people of Europe for the
same article, and pay the freight
'charges to Europe besides; it is
time to howl and it is time something
was done to remedy the eviI.
That remedy is to "kick the rascals
out," that is the Republican party,
the father and protector of such
'trusts and tarilT laws and put the
Democratic party in.
$(5,072, HS,t).">l, just think of the
amount covered by trusts. It is hard
"to realize what thut amount of money
means. It would take a representa
iivo irom caen 01 meso trusts
counting dollars at the rate of one
tach second more than N years for
the whole gang to count that amount
?of money. No wonder the controlIng
heads of this amount of eapital
have power to squeeze the poor consumer
at will.
A paper in (iolden, Cel., raked in
msny delinquents on tho ground of
this eloquent appeal:
v "You may approximate stars In a
nail keg, hung the ocean on a grape
ine to dry, wipe the noso of a cyclone
with a towel, cut olT the tail end
of a tornado for a keepsake, put the
ky in the ground to soak, unbuckle
4the belly-bund of eternity and open
.UP the sun and moon as health resorts,
but never be deluded with the
Idea that you can escape the hot side
pf purgatory if you don't pay for.

THE COAL STRIKE.
The coal strike in Pennsj Ivauia is
getting to bo something serious, and
the daily papers of iho country are
devoting considerable space to discussions
of tho question pro and con.
It is getting serious because the
usual supply of coal is considerably
cut down ou account of the striking
tilers refusing to work or illow
mhfif miners who are willing to work
t)doso. This strike is for higher
wages and has been going on for a
considerable length of time, so long,
In fact, that the demand for coal now
far exceeds the supply, consequently
the price has been goirg up with
a jump until it is getting to be a
question of whether or not suffering
to hundreds and thousands of the
prorer peoplo will result. Even at
t le present price of coal, in the la*^e
it'es it will bo a matter of almoit
impossibility for many peoplo to buy
coal for heating purposes whtn cold
weather sets in, and at the same time
buy the food necessary for existarce.
Tie price has advanced to twuity
o Id dollars a ten and hard to get at
t'lesa figures.
The present demand of the industries
is sufficient to consume every ton of
eorl now being mined. When the
cold weather begins it will mean suffering
and death for many hundreds
unless the situation is relieved aid
work begun in mining coal, and that
at once. We do not know who lo
blame for this threatening calamity
of a coal famine, but something
should bo done and that quick. If
there is nothing else to be dono the
government might sieze the mines in
the interost of suffering humanity
anil relieve the situation. It might
be claimed that this woul 1 establish
a dangerous precedent, but it does
not necessarily follow, as the operatives
of other industries, as well the
minors, know that the government
woul 1 not step in and take possession
every time a disagreement arose between
employer and employees. It
is a bitter light and both eiJo3 seem
to be as determimod to light to a
finish as when they first begun. Ii the
miin owners win it means a terrific
blow if not tho death knell of organized
labor, while if tho strikers win
it will be a great incentive for the
rapid building up of all labor organizations.
Wo are not opposed to organized
labor for their mutual prelection
in a legitimate wav but we
? C> ?r deplore
the methods resorted to in
many instances by the strikers. We
cannot condole mob violence, and
believe that when those troubles between
labor and capital arise the
liborer would win and retain the
sympathy of the: public fn a much
larger measure if they religiously
restrained themselves from committing
any act discreditable to any good
citizen. ?
This is a free country, and a man
or any number of men have a perfect
right to work or let it alone", but they
do rot have any legal right, as we see
it, to restrain those from working
who are anxious to work, perchance
to enable them to feed and clothe a
suffering family. We think they
should be sure of their strength boforo
they walk out, and should be
excused for bringing ev^ry argument
and legitimate persuasion to bear on
those expecting to take their places,
to reconsider, but when this fails
they have legitimately reached the
end of their rope and can go no further,
to do so is to throw cold water
on the public sympathy that may
have been aroused in their behalf,
and to cause disgust irr the mind of
the public. We think this is true
even when the interests of none but
Ihose directly concerned are at stake,
..but when tho ntr<tir assumes such
enormous proportions, as to seriously
iilfect the interests of and perhaps
endanger the very lives of hundreds
and thousands of citizens not directly
or indirectly concerned in the questions
at issue, it is even more forcibly
impressed upon our minds. We
do not condone tho action of the
mine oners eithor. We believe it is
simply, an effort pushed on stubbornly,
to stamp out of existence organ
ized labor. We believe tho miners
should have fair wages, and with the
enormous profits thut the coal miners
have made in the last 18 months,
above what they made the 18 months
previous, wo think they should divide
their extra gains with the men
who do tho work, to extent of allowing
them an increase in wages. We
never lieur half as much of a stir or
kick when a cut of operatives wages
are made absolutely necessary by
losses or dull trade, as we do when
tho operatives ask for an increase of
wages on account of tho prosperity
of the business with which they are
engaged.
In the case in hand, howover, it
appears that both sidea are too stubborn
to know or care what suffering
their contention may cause to the
outside world, and it is about time '
some power that does care take a
hand.
