1t is easy enough for the selt,complac-
ent platitudinarian to tell the working
man that his redress will come to him
gradually, and is to be found in the res
toration of those conditions under which
industrial prosperity is attainable That
sort of talk puts no potatoes in the pot,

water boiling, None perceives quicker
than tho intelligent workingman that til"
evils from which he suffers are greatly
due to the extravaganza, maladministra-
ton, and corruption of the party in pow
err; and when appropriate time comes he
will seek a legitimate redress through
tho peaceful instrumentality ofthe ballot
box.

pay out in wages more than it earns, or,
in this country, to effect the transfer of
authority from the Government to the
hands of the mob"
