districts there are three or four mills,
working from ten to thirty stamps.

whittier we Esrift.

History vouches for the truth Of
the statement that the tendency OF
all governments is to concentrat c
poEvor in tho hands of a fnw to rule
with an iron hand over the many.
In the earlier days Of our republic
rulers were selected by the people
more for their fitness and moral worth
than the prestige given theu by the
possession of an undue proportion Of
worldly goods, but the times have
since sadly changed. Now as a
general thing our rulors buy their
places, and fitness and moral worth
are secondary considerations. Con-
sidcrations Of public dtty have little
to do with the aspira ions of men
who seek official positia On, and their
estimation of such 4 position is
governed principally By the amount
in dollars and cents Mat it will
"pay.'
The American people yet cling to
the forms of free government, but
they are sadly drifting away from
it's substance. They have and exer-
else the right of suffragf, but they
exercise it more in form than r,ali-
ty, for, attaching themselves to
opposing factions, that suffrage in
stead of being really free, and Ner-
ciscd in accordance with intelligent
reflection and Judgment, is bound to
the will of capitalists who conrol
parties, through king caucus, md
serves to bind tighter and tighter
the coils of the serpent that gnaws
at the vitals of free government
Thus the votes of the workingnen
are, through the thoughtleSs ie,o-
rance, Indifference or partizansiip
of those who cast them, made to G-
courage monopoly, the concentration
and Capitalization of power. lcgisa-
ton for the benefit of capitol at the
expense of labor, and all those ao-
pliances which encourage and le,d
to the loss of the actual liberties of
the people.
Thus we gradually and almost
imperceptably yield to the monay
power of the country the
political power also, reserving to
ourselves only the mere shadow of
the substance surrendered. / Out Of
the simplicity of life and custom
which characterized our whole people
in the early days Of the Republic
has sprung up ruling aristocracy,
and the stern integrity of those times
has yielded to a corruption that is
withering and blighting the tree of
liberty, and carrying us down the
tide of political ruin to the breakers
on which have stranded every pre-
vious effort of mankind to establish
free government.
