Away with the doctrine embodied in the
late report Of the United States Treasurer,
that we must get back to hard pan and
harder times, with no other justification
than that il is traditional with our govern

is no argument.
1t was tradition that punished the sage
and philosopher, Galileo, and kept the
people in ignorance Of the motion OF the
earth they inhabited it was tradition that
cruci6ed our Savior. While we have built

LASALLE, Jan. 9Th, 1877.

To the Editor Of the woRRNeAAE's ADVOCATE.
Since my last there has been very little
change in our affairs. Times are q triHe
better in some of our shafts We had big
smash up in one Of then. The La Sale. 7"
1t was two weeks idle. 1t started again
the first of the month. Things are begin
ming to come to light showing the means
used to defeat our Congressman. There
is certain Doctor here who in Deacon Of
a church. He is very sanctImonious he
attends the minersin a certain locality,
and generally mixes little spiritual con-
ISOLATION with his physical to make it operate
more freely. He was one of Mr.. Camp
bells bitterest opponents, and was furn-
ished with plenty Of money to use at the
election. He did good deal Of betting /;
was fast man on elections. He has re-
sided here about Is months, yet he swore
i'm Asmany ss twenty voters, most Of whom
he never saw. He was detected in the
evening at his vile work, giving man %
to swear in his vote himself, having his
hat of to do his part Of the swearing yet
our officers let him go scott free; yet this
fraud exercised influence enough over
some of our religious bigots of miners to
make them vote against their best friend.
He told them he knew Mr.. Campbell to be
working against their interests, both in
Congress and out of it.
There is one thing that ruins us more
than everything combined, / mean the
societies of the different nationalities Of
the British Empire. it is impossible for
them to unite for their mutual benefit as
long as such religious bigotry and intoler-
ance exists amongst them. Firt are the
Irish Societies-the Hibernians and the
Orangemen. Wherever those bigots meet
riot and bloodshed are sure to follow on
the slightest pretext. They have commit
ted cruelties against one another that
would disgrace Blue Beard and yet they
call themselves Christians. Next il the
st. Georges Society, exclusively English.
Us ihOhhoCaS arg ds biSotcu d. ally u lhc
others ; they think outsider has no rights
they ere bound to respect particularly
if they are Irish-all antie Campbell men.
Last IN the list is the St Andrews, com
posed Of canny Scotchmen who are not
one whit behind the others in bigotry. l
wonder why men flying from persecution
in their old homes, coming to this free
land where every man is projected in his
rights to worship God according to the
dictates of his conscience, should bring
with them their old time bigotry, TO curse
the working men Of this free land All the
eloquence Of our Richard Trevelick, and
the host of labor union advocates are lost.
So long these organizations continue to
WELD the influence they do. Woo.

SAN Francisco, Dec 80, 1876.
To the Editor Of the workingman's Advocate
Now l charge that this nation is con-
troled by shylocks, stock jobbers and
monopolst u various kinds, and Of other
countries as well as our own, and charge
that all our national and state legislation,
is for their benefit and for the purpose Of
robblng the producing classes, and intend
to prove it.
Oh my countrymen how mercilessly have
you been plundered of your inheritance in
the land provided by the God Of nature
for your substance. II has been ruthless
ly lysquandered-s stolen from you under vari-
Gus false pretences voted to Railroad
jobbers by Legislators who themselves have
shared in the plunder. They have taken
bribes, as everybody knows. Had they
lived in Rome under the Republic for like
offenses they would have been hurled from
the Tarpeian rock. Your legislators have
created laws to enable favored individual
wealth imbeded in the earth, for the bene-
fit of all, and by this means the people are
made slaves. Look at the coal miners of
Pennsylvania. The wretched victims Of q
ruthless monopoly, whose iron heel grinds
in the dust uot Only the operatives they
employ, by grinding them down to the
smallest pittance that will keep body and
soul together, but by their exactions in
the price of coal, they starve the poor oper-
stives Of our eastern in cities, and the
men for whose benefit our work ng men
are so wretchlessly scourged, are many il
not most of them foreigners, residing
abroad.
When red handed traitors held their
reeking blades at the throat Of the nation
and threatened its destruction, our leg
islators conspired with European shylocks
to plumber the men who went forth to the
battle field. They defrauded our soldiers
and sailors, our farmers, mechanics aud
laborers who gave their services to the ma
tion, and received the government
promises in compensation. By the wicked
Vaccinations of our legislators, at the die
tation Of European money lenders. our
national obligations were deprecated to
less than half their value. They were
then called in, land at the recommendation
Of secretary, who has since found Europe

and outrageous swindles ever before per-
petrated upon any nation. The bondhold-
ers realized double the amount of their
investment, and have received l2 per cent.

There was not a dollar more Of green

was for opposition to this frand, exposed
in his last annual message, that Andrew
johnson was impeached, and God knows
if it was not the cause Of the death Of oul
martyred President, Abraham Lincoln.
