Foremost among the opposition 70 tne

simply have in view their own interests.
Were you and standing in their shoes,
undoubtedly we should pursue the same
course. When, however, these men are
using their utmost endeayors to make
US believe that the interest OF the la

are not only cutting sorry figure, but

trovertible facts:
The interest OF the laborer can not
possibly be in accord with this class.
There Is q universal natural law that
forbids it. Bear in mind that the
wealthy real estate proprietor OF large
possessions Is Of no benefit whatever to
the public. In fact, he is a great curse
to any community that is unfortunately
afl cted with him. I think 1t Is a pretty
good rule for laborers to oppose any
policy which he may advocate. Let all
the wealth of the country fall into his
hands and labo-ers will be beggars.
The merchants, the manufacturers, and
all who are engaged in pursuits that re-
qulre the employment OF many working
people, are the real public benefactors.
That which is to the interest OF this
class, is OF necessity to the interest Of
the laboring class. Then, laborers, why
not vote with them tor the six million
appropriation? /, one Of your number,

How a Laboring MAN Sees II.

To the Editor of the Star:
Being informed that there are some
laborers who have expressed themselves
as being opposed TO the Cincinnati
Southern Railroad, I wish to address
myself principally to them. W
i too am a laborer, but my views in
regard to the matter under discussion
do not accord with yours, il you are op-
posed to the Southern Railroad. am
for the Endorsement OF the six Million
Bill with my whole heart. l shall
briefly give you my reasons. Though L
maintain that the laborer pays the taxes
yet the hue and cry about Increased tax /.
alton, which the opposition has raised
as an argument against the six million
appropriation, does not produce ON me
the desired effect. You may here ask,
how can 1t be possible that the laborer
pays the taxes whe he las no assessabIe

pays his rent. The landlord, because he
