To the Editor q the woEkNsxAS's ADyocArz
Are we on the eve Of another revolution,
or is it likely that our thriving government
officials will take warning before It he too
late Will all the organizations through
out the land prove abortive IN freeing the
white. slaves in these Cso-called) United
States Of America II is very foolish III
us to try any longer to dodge the question
Of the day, or close our eyes to the newt
able future results, for the Handwriting
on the wall declares that We nov must
have equal rights even should We be com
PEELED to wade through rivers Of blood tG
gain them. The trumpet tones of the peo-
pie must and shall be heard within the
walls of Congress, and our servants must
obey Or be called to strict account.
Laws must now be made to protect the
working classes, as the wealth producers
of our nation. Idle, lazy swindlers, and
monopolists, who call themselves capitalists
must no longer be permitted to usurp the
rights Of freemen. We will not remain
slaves, we shall not much longer submit to
be governed by vampires, leeches. and
wasps. AS the honey bees drive out the
drones, 50 let it be the wise conclusion az
the industrious capital producers to drive
out all bummers and loafers, strip them Of
their useless offices where they now hold
titles and lord IT over their tax paying
slaves. Make them 20 to work, or drive
them out Of the hive. | don't believe ia
mincing the matter any longer we must
come to a proper adjustment as soon as
possible right is right every time But
some say might is right. Well If SO, say,
be it 50 in our case, and all shall be made
right. In our unions throughout the ma
ton we will number ten to one against
those opposed to industry, honesty, Justice,
liberty, and equal rights. Are you the
"WoRKINGMENs ADVOCATE" } then stand
to your guns and clear the way" We
have truth on our side and will conquer.
Herewith find the preamble, constitu-
ton, etc, Of an organization which is now
likely to take the lead in bringing about
the much needed reform, As | think they
60 about the work III the right manner,
and takes the bull right by the horns IN
the political arena, and at the same time
pledged friends to all mankind. | have
read your paper Of April 18th, and pro-
nOunce it live sheet, one which must in
spire its readers in the right direction I;
may it live long to cheer ON the friends Of
progress and human rights
