We have notthus far. been advised by .
plain statement what is to be tttspooled.'n,
1t would appear as If the only object of the
labor movementWas to put lworkingmen In
power. The history Of popular revolution,
has sadly proved the fatal mistakes, and
and the treaG Gherous betrayal Of the people
by their own sopsgso the main object IS not
enough. The only avenue to right rs TO

spool these issues" Every one Of them
is for your benefit, and for the injury of no
one. Fair play is what you need; you ask
no advantage over any other class. The
capitalists has his rights--aIl the workers
have to do is to see that he does not control

If the working men will not drift away
| from these Issues, no antagonisms will,
arise, unless possibly upon the 9Th and 18th.
QCease denunciation of employers, and of
every one not handicraftsman, it does no
good. Anchor in the midst of common
sense, and common justice, and one will
help and respect you.
