Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1877-07-24
THE REVOLT OF THE TOILERs.

The hard listed laborers Of the States east
Of the Mississippi are in revolt The natural
uprising of a people who have been drained
dry by the spectators and heartless money
handlers Of those States has cone. The
MORNING APPEAL sympathises with tj-ese vlo-
lent struggles against serfdom. Better that
every railway depot in the United States
should be burned to the ground than that the
masses of this Republic should be forced into
beggary and driven, as trampa, into the high
WAYS. If our much-talked-of experiment,
after hundred years trying, IS no better sue
cess than the dole OF starvation to the en-
ployes and their wives and children along the
lines of our system OF railroads, it is better
those roads should be destroyed Human
hearts and the comforts Of life are more pre-
cious than mocking palaces Of depots "seven
stories high" and fat Directories gambling the
game Of lie with the lives of toiliHg men and
starving women and famine stricken children
for pawns. We are glad to note that this re
volt seems like to become general. We are
encouraged by the attitude of all classes Of
workingmen, all over the country, East and
West. We hope they will be steadfast to the
end and reap the victory of their desperate
courage. The mistake they made was IN SUI
fering SO long, No man is right who sees his
wife grow Acknowledged with want and ms
children pale and gaunt With hunger, and
does not smIte where shifting will strike down
the cause Of this cruel and unnatural oDpres-
=, - Tao ,,t4
roads We do not believe i. But whether
there are or not there is too much cold
bloodad willingness and endeavour upon the
part OF capitalists 20 speculate in human mis-
cry And 1t Is this human misery which IS
in arms. Railroad companies whose lines
daily transport thousands OF bushels Of grain,
and hundreds OF heads of cattle, and tons
upon tons of fruit, and bales upon bales Of
clothing, passing scores of villages OF starving
workingmen and poverty-stricken, haggard
women and chilren are served only too ner-
cifully if-as they all have sought to grind
the face Of the poor-they find their food-lads
cars arrested until such time as the danger
daring men who run them are guaranteed
sufficient salary to enable them to purchase
enough to keep themselves and their little !
ones safe from the wolves al hunger and cold !
and disease and ayertable death. The M0BN I
ING APPEAL has stood by and VIII stand by
the rightful prerogatives Of capital But cap |
ital is monster when it speculates in the |
emergencies and suPplications and fell neces-
sites of starving people. Then good bye |
technics-good bye all bubbles and nice theo-
ries Of Law. Starvation knows no hair-split-
ting constitutions, and the deiiriunl oil hunger
waits not for the Slow processes OF statutory
Interpretation. Is Superintendent CARROTS
salary diminished! Is Tom Scott dacnabled
by the close pressing times to give has usual
dinners to the nab0bs who visit Philadelphia.
Is any railway station any the less sumptuous
because Of the unusual distress} We do not
care for the law-laWs are made for the peo-
pie and not the people for the laws All VIC
know IS that the yeomanry Of ,he country are
on the diceful edge Of the ghastly PIT Of star
vation and we hope that this final desperate
outbnrst Of maddened peopla VIII force the
Of a share at least, Of the long
blood-money which IS held by
the meroiless corporations Of the country {
No country, much less i corporation, has any
to exist, when its existence depends
upon the Impeachment Of the people.

and not only do we buy and sell a
stocks, transmit moneys and play chess and :
poker by that far-reachlng convenience, but,
is the Eureka Sentinel reminds US, we are to I
be catharticised, emeticked and phIebotom- f
zed by the same process. Says the issue Of .
hat paper for July 81 :
A message was received Yesterday by Dr. y
Bishop, announcing the sudden illness of Mrs.

roper information the prescription was sent, is
