50 that all can see ,he standpoint from
which we issued oar criticism of Dee
18th signed "Laboratu7.' Upon de
auctions drawn lcgilinatclv from
these quotations, we still RELY; and
we will by 40 means permit any one
/ 10 change the issue, not even Mr.
. ltcmIcr, the Boanergcs, or rather the
Jupiter Tonaus Of this august Com
/ lnittcc.
/, will be obScrvo,Aby the reader
that in our reply 10 Mr.. I!cnlrr, we
pay our respects TO lin on his own
merits, while onr reply to "Onc Of Tie
Committee" include, both, and takes
them in tow co'i"intly.
Come, Mr.. ilenlcr, come sauarclv
M without any prcvaric"i:oa or mc,i-
tai reservation. or any "i''," ahou, It.
and say whether vou inc.uhcd rA:
lahOrers in these stringent labor rcgu-
latiOns or not. If Yen meant white.
say white if You meant black. say
black. None Of your gli;tcring grncr-
aIities. There are two classes OF labor
ers in this country This iumb.ing of
white and black don't work well
never did-ncvrr can. If YOU meant
black, and had said 50. my pen would
never have been raised for. as | said
before, | consider the negroes fully
able to take care Of themselves in this
respect. Now, Sir, YOU are caught
between the horns of an unhealthy
dilemma, either horn of which, will
give your farms a dangerous thrust.
1t is quite amusing to listen to the
remarks Oh Laboratus' Article Some
say, cit ough; to be replied to. Some,
that lit ought not to be noticed"
That it i,'ni worth noticing" That
every body ought to know that the
Committee meant myers" Well one
thing know, ifihey meant nig7ers;
Mr.. lIemlcr hasn't said aiqgcr, mary
time. He eschews the term alto
ge;hcr--i, is not in his vocabulary.
And now, | suppose, Mr.. Ucmler
writes his reply to Laboratus for the
mere fun" Of the thing-having
caught the infection from that other
gay Patron, who proposed the famous
Resolution (Sce Minutes ofthe White
League for the mere fun Of showing
people how easily he could chew his
own words and swallow tLcm down
his uncOnScicntious gu!lct.
"A hI.e fun, now and then,
j. reli-hed by the best # men
Thus thought Mr.. Hemlcr, no
doubt, when he changed old Horace's
moU<e into "louse." Well, really,
| ought TO have said louise, for the
way be scratched his head, when be
saw and read LahOratus' article, every
body must have known, that a big
crccper was tickling the cuticle of his
Uranium. But Of all the funny things !
uttered by Mr. I!emlcr in his reply to |
my criticism, the funniest is his "Hur-
rah's nest" Well, I've heard Of tur.
keys nests and hens nests, and even
mcre'S pe<tS. hut "IIurrah's nest. -
What is that? Scratch your head /
again, for something has crcpt Into it /
strange.
But seriously, Mr.. Healer attacks |
~ positions in B,mbastcs Iurioso
style Watch him for he il going to
say something. For years NIcm-
ltr) have been noticing these strikes,
Che labor strikes so current in Europe
and America. and Introduced hy me
as proof of the an;agoni-m Of Labor
and CapiiaD and have observed that
in nine cases out OF ten. these strikers
have had the ,rOg'St Of the fight, and
have generally returned to the former
employer wiser if tcDrSi,'d in the con-
test" Oh, yes, got ,corsfcd, did they?
And they Lecome WjScr, when ,rorSted
in the contest OF course, To make
thg-ros '.i-s.ssf,he lab0rer trOrse is
Tie direct result Of every cncroach-
.",nt Of Capital and here Mr.. Hemler
endorses it, Yes, Mr.. Hcmler, here
boasts Of the tyranny of Capital, and
rcjoices that the labOrcr gets ,c0rSicd
IN the fight and is forced TO return to
The employ Of his former patron.
How does this dovetail with his fine
! u''oiiC doout eic'diihS Sociai'F, NOR
ally and financially the la5oring
classes" My object in noticing tie
Labor Strikes" was to show the
antaSonism Of Labor and Capital,
when the latter has all the power;
has the ability to force the former w.
