Brock & McComas Company THB nODERN DRUdQISTS PENDLETON MONDAY, JULY 7, 1902. TWEEDLEDEE AND TWEEDLEDUM. Pennsylvania democrats have en tered upon the. campaign in that state, standing upon a platform made up of state issues. In short, they have but one issue in that state, Matt Quay and his notorious gang "Of political freebooters, who feed up on the people of Pennsylvania, fear ing nothing, doing nothing because overwhelmingly entrenched in power by republican votes. If the demo crats, assisted by a large number of independents, can inspire the confi dence of the people in - their good intentions they may be successful at the polls; otherwise Matt Quay will continue to boss Pennsylvania's po litical hen roost. The fact of the matter is, the dem ocrats need to prove to the voters that they are in earnest, really sin cere in their effort to oust the ras cals out of office. The voters have tired of the senseless attempt in past years to prove a difference between tweedledee and tweedledum, to make a half-dozen appear more than six, and, as the result, have tired of ap peals and grown dull to duty. But a good time is coming for dem ocrats who respect their promises, who believe in democracy and have an abiding faith in equal rights and free institutions. If for once the democrats can prove they are in earnest and have capacity for ac complishing something for the peo ple and good government, even just a little more than republicans ac complish, they may have ground for hope to serve the people and, in serv ing them, build up and uphold a grander and Btronger republic. Do something! the people will be quick to appreciate performance. There is a great opportunity for earnest, honest endeavor in Penn sylvania., No political rascal can con tend against the force of' conviction and the spirit born of sincerity, back of a desire to treat a public office as a public trust! servers, whom the people are slow to call to account and who feed and thrive upon the people, as always does the hnavo at -the expense of the fool. When the voter is more Intelli gent in the use of his vote, and less devoted to his party as a blind fol lower of it, the government of his state and the general condition of so ciety will be elevating and not on the down grade. The gist of the matter is, the voter fails miserably to realize his re sponsibilities and his state suffers in consequence. HOW TO KILL MONOPOLY. WHERE THE FAULT LIES. One convict with a Winchester rifle and a determination to do and to die game seems to bo more than enough for an army of sheriffs, deputies, po licemen and marshals. Those persons responsible for pro viding Tracy and Merrill with fire arms, with which they escaped from the Oregon penitentiary at Salem, are greater criminals In the light of what has happened since, than the two cut-throats and murderers them selves. The lax methods In vogue at the penitentiary at Salem, and the polit ical system which bred them, were aids to all the murder the brace of rascals have committed. And there are none more responsl-. ble for the whole ''dreadful mess," than the voters of Oregon, who vote a party Into office year after year re gardless of the character of Its per formances. Were the voters more exacting and less addicted to partisan action at the polls, changing servants as fre quently as tho party proved derelict to duty, thero would bo better gov ernment and less burden of govern ment, with a corresponding interest the part of those who occupy pub lic office. , Tracy and Merrill's crimes can be traced to the doors of Indolent and HacoaacieHtlous politicians and time The Springfield Republican, com menting on the strike of tho hard coal miners and calling attrition to the wide disturbance it is creating in trie industrial world, says: "Meantime tho party of the largest interest in the affair remains uncon sulted. The people at large and their concerns have not come into consideration. Neither side as yet has even condescended to make a statement of grievances, or argument of justification, Unit it is to be said for the miners that have been offered to refer the cause to an impartial ar bitration, which the operators re fuse to do. And yet the latter are in possession of a limited store of na ture which is essential to the gen eral industry of the country in warm seasons and to tho life of the people in cold. Persons holding a monopoly like that are in no position to say they are' entitled to do as they please and neither party to the controversy, for that matter, can say it is none of the public's business. a a "It is very much the public's busi ness, and if the public had been as deeply alive to the possibilities such as are at present being realized, it would now be in a position to enforce a judgment respecting its superior concern in the case. As It Is, the country and its government will stand by helplessly while the storm of industrial war sweeps devastating ly through it. But the disturbance will compel thought among the peo ple, and at the end two questions will come to be asked more frequent ly than they are now: (1) Why should labor and capital be permit ted to engage in destructive wars of. this kind when there are ways to. prevent them, as through cumpulsory arbitration voluntary arbitration having again conspicuously proved its futility? ad (2) why Bhould exclu sive private monopoly of natural re sources so essential to tho life and industry of the people as coal he suf fered to exist? . A proper answer to tho second question would .1i3o r.3 of the fiist. There would be no war between "cap ital and labor" If there were no exclu sive private monopolies of natural re sources. And It may bo add'id with absolute coalldenr? that If all lai.d were taxed to Its full value without reference to improvements thero would be and could bo no such thing as an exclusive monopoly of natural resources. Compulsory arbitration Is a dan gerous remedy. It Is essentially un democratic and It Invade? tho right of private contract In a way that ren ders it highly offensive to men who really believe in freedom. Evea If there were no other remedy than that of compulsory arbitration for these wars wo should still prefer the, disease to the proposed euro. Tho disease is less likely to bo fatal to liberty than tho remedy of state In terference with private bus'ue33. But compulsory arbitration is not the only remedy. It Is not even the best or tho least objectionable rem edy. It has so many offensive feat ures that to enumerate them would be to go over tho whole category of evils which result from Irresponsible power and from paternalism. For comnulsory arbitration Is tho very culmination of paternalism and It could be suggested only by men who have been subjected to socialistic In fluences and modes of thought. But a resort to this-dangerous expedient Is wholly .unnecessary. It Is oujy re quired that it shall be made unprofi table for men to hold valuable na tural opportunities out of use and tho problem solves itself. ,For if workmen could employ themselves minn unused natural resources when 'dissatisfied with the terms and con ditions offered by tho employer, now could there possibly arise a war bo tweon tho capitalist and laborer? How could tho former possibly cc erco or-intimidate the latter? You rnnnnt browbeat and tyrannize the workman who controls his own Job his own meanB of livelihood, it is tho man who hns been cut oft from his base of supplies that the terrors of so-called "capitalism" pursue. And so if wo would stop these wars aud protect the rights of non- combatants wo must free opportunity by making it unprofitable to forstall it. We can do this simply and easily, without violence and with no touch of Injustice. We can do It oven with out any change of forms or tho crea tion of any now machinery. Indeed we may do it while yet simplyfylng the machinery already In existence. It is necessary only that we should stop taxing labor and the products of labor and tax the unimproved value of land alone. If wo did this no one would think of holding a foot of land anywhere except for use. Coal com panies would not dream under such a system of forstalllng the coal which generations yet unborn will require. Nor would "capitalists" ever think of grabbing for town sites and for fertile farm lands ami for tracts of timber. They would hold, no more land than they required for actual operations in production; and thus millions unon millions of acres of land now closed against labor would be open to it on terms that would In vite industry and offer rewards to en terprise. Can you conciove that under such free conditions there could be pre sented spectacles such as those now being witnessed in the hard coal re gion? There 150,000 men are engaged in a passive rebellion against the power of monopoly. Monopoly itself sits calmly behind its entrenchment of legal privilege and bides the re sult. It has nothing to lose. In the end It expects to gain much. It ex pects for one thing to gain higher prices for Its product now in the market. There is artificial scarcity which Justifies an advance in price For another thing it expects labor, under the lash of hunger, to become violent, to cease to bo passive, and to become turbulent. Then will come the state with armed troops to pro tect monopoly In its privilege and to drive labor into subjection. In tho last analysis the hard coal barons will win, no matter what may bo the apparent result of the pending con flict. There is but one sure way of reach ing them. And that is the simple way. Make them pay full value of their special privileges into the pub lie treasury in lieu of all other taxes. When you do this you will have end ed wars like the one now on. Johns town Democrat.
