BAER AS A DEMOCRAT
The Fremont Tribune, a republican
paper, has repeatedly charged that
Baer, the coal baron, is a democrat In
a recent issue the Tribune says: "The
democrats point to the coal strlko as
good reason why voters should oppose
the republican party. It hfof no con
sequence to the leaders of the allied
forces that the offensive head of tho
coal operators is a rock-ribbed demo
crat Surely no one can be more
greatly at fault for the strike than this
democrat"
Tho World-Herald has already told
tho Tribune of its mistake in charging
Baer .to the democrats, but the Tribune
persists in the misrepresentation. Per
haps the Tribune will accept the Bos
ton Globe as authority. In a recent
issue the Boston Globe had this to say:
"Who is George F. Baer, and why is
he so conspicuous among the coal op
erators? "Mr. Baer is president of tho Phila
delphia & Heading Railway company,
receiving his appointment about two
years ago from J. Pierpont Morgan,
who has controlled this property since
1896.
"Tho Reading system consists of 2,-
100 miles of railway. Mr. Baer is fore
most in the counsels of the combined
coal-carrying railways because tho
Reading Railway company owns and
operates the larger part of the an
thracite mines, not in its own name,
because the constitution of Pennsyl
vania forbids a railway company to
engage in the production of coal, but
in the disguiso of othor corporations.
"Mr. Baer is 60 years old. Ho was
not trained olther in practical rail
roading or in the operation of mines,
but has been a lawyer in Reading over
since the civil war, in which ho served
for a short time.
"He was at one time editor of tho
Somerset Democrat, and did not leavo
the democratic party until 1896.
"He was one of the legal counsel of
the Reading road for many years be
fore his appointment to tho presidency
by Mr. Morgan.
"Racially, ho is a Pennsylvania Ger
man. Ho is a strict church-goor, being
a member of the Reformed church."
Will the Tribuno observe that tho
Boston Globe, referring to Baer, says:
"Ho was at ono time editor of tho Som
erset Democrat, and did not leave tho
democratic party until 1896?"
That was when Mr. Bryan was first
nominated for tho presidency. Then
Baer left tho democratic party, and
sjneo then has been engaged not only
in supporting tho republican ticket,
but In contributing liberally to tho re
publican campaign fund. Omaha

THE TARIFF ON COAL
During his recent tour in the west
President Roosevelt stated in one or
more of his speeches upon the trusts
that anthracite coal was on tho free
list, and hence tho Dingloy tariff was
in nowise responsible for the undesir
able situation in the Pennsylvania coal
fields. This impression concerning the
status of anthracite coal was more or
less general. The World Almanac,
edited by experts, carries anthracite
coal In tho freo list
Recent importations of coal from
English ports to Boston and New York
raised the question of duty. Instruc
tions from uie treasury department in
Washington revealed the president's
error, and on the heels of this revela
tion came an authorized statement
from Secretary of the Navy Moody, a
former member of congress, that tho
existing duty on anthracite coal, like
the demonetization of silver in 1873,
was a glaring specimen of "sneak"
legislation. The congress that did the
sneaking was republican In both
houses, and hence the censure in the
case belongs to that party.
Over 300,000 tons of Welsh coal have
arrived up to date. Under instructions
from Washington all delays were ob
viated, and the delivery of the coal
was given preference over other im
ports. As the Welsh coal sent over in
the Morgan steamships is not all of
one quality, collectors at ports of ar
rival have some difficulty in determing
ing which is exempt from duty and
which Is not Anthracite coal, not
specially provided for in the Dingley
act, is on the free list, according to
paragraph 523. The anthracite "spe
cially provided for" must pay a duty of

Mickey's Record
67 cents per ton, which Is more than
the total cost of labor in tho Penn
sylvania field.
There is a treasury department deci
sion, dated in 1897, which presumably
covers the coal case. Charles P. Coles,
who had brought a cargo of Welsh coal
into San Francisco in a vessel named
tho Muskoka, August 3, 1897, protested
against tho payment of the duty of 67
cents per ton imposed on it by the col
lector. It had been invoiced as "Aber
cravo best, largo double-screened an
thracite coal." Upon official analysis
the stuff was found to contain 89.72
per cent of fixed carbon. The ap
praiser, therefore, classified It as dutia
ble under paragraph 415 of the Dingley
law, which provides that "bituminous
and all coals containing less than 92
per cent fixed carbon and shale" shall
pay a duty of 67 cents per ton.
In an opinion by General Appraiser
Tlchenor, tho United States board of
general appraisers overruled the Im
porter's protest and sustained tho col
lector. Tho importer had not disputed
tho analysis, frankly admitting that his
coal contained less than 92 per cent
of fixed carbon. His contention was to
the effect that, as anthracite coal is
provided for "eo nomine" in paragraph
623, and Is not specifically named in
paragraph 415, the first-mentioned pro
vision should prevail. His coal was
only 2.28 per cent under the free list
minimum, but he had to pay the duties
oa it just as if it had been the lowest
grade of bituminous coal.
The incident is useful in showing to
the general public tho pull of the trusts,
in securing legislation of a favorable
nature. Denver News.

Secretary Shaw has taken the stump
for the subsidy seekers. In his speech
at Detroit ho advocated the scheme
of tho ship subsidy crowd as openly
as if he were its paid attorney. He
said he was not speaking in favor of
tho bill, but ho did speak in its favor,
and his argument was that the treas
ury could stand the drain. He seems
to think the United States treasury is
maintained solely to supply money to
any one who asks for it, and he has
the nervd to tell intelligent citizens
that "tho public revenues come from
tho rich and well-to-do," and that 95
per cent of a ship subsidy would bo
"thrown to labor." As a purveyor of
buncombe on the stump Mr. Shaw
may be useful to party managers, but
as secretary of the treasury he is a
fantastic misfitPhiladelphia North

We havo before us tho Nebraska
Houso Journal of 1881, which is the
official record of the proceedings of the
house during the legislative session of
that year. In going over its pages we
find many evidences of Mr. Mickey's
work in behalf of the ccrporatienfl.
And in not one single lnstanco do we
Pnd that ho over voted against their
interests. Ho made his vote count al
ways on tho side of tho roads that
"charge all the traffic will bear." Hetf
Is what we find from this official rec
ord, and wo give tho page takon fr
in every instance in order that it may
not bo said that we have printed that
whlh tho record does not contain.

ing of a committee to draft a maximum

introduced by Mr. Moore, then from
York county.
Page 722 Voted in favor of tho post

Pago 723 Voted against advancing
houso roll No. 121 to a third reading,
and being with tho minority was de
feated. Page 725 Voted against tho passage
of houso roIlNo. 226, a bill declaring
that railroads shall not limit their
comintn law liabilities, by receipts
requited to be signed by shippers.
Tage 841 Dodged and failed to voto
for senate file No. Ill, a bill fixing a
maximum standard of freight charges
to prevent unjust discrimination, secret
rates, rebates, etc.
Is it any wonder that John N. Bald
win, general attorney for tho Union
Pacific railway, should have declared
ten days prior to tho republican state
convention that the roads had agreed
upon Mickey as their man? Is it any
wonder that Mr. Mickey says that he
has not made any promises, and that
ho does not intend to make any? The
railroads do not need any promises
from a man who has such a record of
faithfulness to corporate rule behind
him. .
Are you willing, Mr. Voter, to help
continue the railroad rule in Nebraska,
or do you want to see the rates of the
roads decreased ana thoy made to pay
their just proportion of taxes? Yon
will have to answer this question with
your voto in tho coming election. You
aro either for tho interests' of the state
or those of tho railroads. Osceola
