tyrannical corporations?
The assertion that the remaining one
third of the territory is eopen to set
tlement," is ratherAa harsh joke to get
off on men who want soil to till, but
find that the desirable and approachable
land has allAbeen seized by the. .fends
who demand the deed to tenants life.
The number of those who can procure
the necessary equipment for farming is
daily growing less by thousands. labor
saving machinery springs into the. mines,
mills and factories and thousands of
laborers are thrown out of work. The
wages they. have been receiving have
been barely sufficient ito keep them
alive. You say to them, "There is sus-
tenance for you in the soil; 60 till it."
Yes, you poor, hungry, annotated, pen:
niless creature, 90 on your knees to the
pasters Of Gods gift to his people and
beg a spot of bare earth whereon to die.
The corporations which have been pre-
Rsented with the choicest land will show
you where you can take up" a nice
tract, hundred OF two miles distant
from civilization. 1T is true you have no
spade with which to turn the SOIL nor
seed to SOW, but the great philanthro-
pists who run the government will take
care of you. Our institutions are for
the welfare of the whole people, and
every citizen. under our great constitu-
ton is guaranteed equal rights and pro-
lection in the pursuit of happiness.
Out on such dogmas and away to the
bottomless pits of hell with the sleek
hypocrits who offer such stone TO-. the
starving people who are cryingfor bread.
The Infamous sheet quoted above
says that it will not be time for the
leaders in public affairs to raise their
voices against the existing and growing
evils, until the people fight in the streets
for bread and gaunt famine shall 60
stalking about. In other words, lock the
stable after the horse is stolen.
Such is the humanity of the class to
which the editor of the Times belongs
soul and body. He knows how to
fawn, the detestable syophant. upon his
masters. But he does not believe what
he says. though he may hope it. No
man who car, read and who knows the
people, for one moment thinks that the
wave of revolution which is rising, can
be checked or turned aside by legislative
conversions, after it has once broken
over country.
Already the walls of the suffering and
downtrodden are beginning to arouse
the people, and Mosts and Groves are
becoming numerous in every CITY, town
and village in this broad universe The
leasts and buzzards had better mind
their eye. Let the foe of the people
who can, feel secure in his usurped
stronghold, it will not be for long.
Just as sure as God reigns, the day of
retribution and peoples vengeance is
coming. Woe to him who is then the
hireling of the oppressors. AS was
said by that good and fearless man,
Karl Marx, "The proletarians have
nothing to lose but their chains. They
have a world to win"

OUR EXCHANGES.

There are three factors in production,
land, labor and capital; but while land
and labor are absolutely necessary,
capital being their creature, is only an
aid. Were all the capital of the world
wiped out of existence, the production
of wealth would 60 on, and the laborer
would get, what he only gets nova
living. There would not at first be that
surplus we call wealth, and which; when
used in the production of more wealth,
becomes capital; but there would be
enough for all. With every mouth
comes two hands, and with free access
to the natural resources of nature no
one need starve or want.-Detroit

The president has refused to call a
special session of congress, which has
been asked for by petition of quar-

was to secure such legislation as can not
be thoroughly discussed, and that proper

regular session. The president fully
appreciates the importance of the ques-

feels that he cannot with due regard

and July deliveries. The liberal decline
of last week brought out free buying
orders from the shorts. While the demand
was thus improved, the desire to sell was
limited, competition between buyers en-
sued, and prices advanced 1@1Ic over
the closing quotations of Saturday. Cash
oats were not much improved. The ar
rivals continue liberal and the market was
we'll supplied with car lots. In store oats
were slightly improved, but oonsignments
on track if anything a shade easier. On
the board the near futures
were active, at the opening prices
were about a c lower. This was followed
by liberal advance. May and June sold
112c over the inside price, and 4c over
Saturdays closing. July sold 2sc over
Saturdays closing and advanced 1870 over
the inside early price. Deferred futures
491ac higher. On call, July broke down
sc and the other deliveries sold off 118c.
The decline brought about liberal trading
in the July future.
Rye was in fair speculative demand and
steady at Saturdays prices early, to 10
Mc better in the afternoon. There were
some changes made of June contracts to
July at 2@21ac premium.
Barley was dull as ever. Only few
cars we're in, still the demand would not
take over third Of the offerings. Prices
were easy and promised further weakness.
Considerable interest was manifested in
the market for hog products and trading
in the aggregate was quite active. An
unsettled feeling prevailed, however, and
prices fuetuated considerably within
quite a wide range. At the opening the
market was weak and slightly reduced
prices were accepted, but later in the day
the demand was more urgent and prices
rallied to the outside range. Shipping de-
mand continues light. Foreign advices
still favor buyers, and prices for bacon
were reduced Cd. Eastern markets were
without material change. The receipts of
produce were fair, and shipments quite
liberal. The demand for mess pork was
fairly active, but prices were somewhat
irregular. Early sales were made at 215@
sc decline, but later in the day prices were
gradually advanced 15@20c, and closed
comparatively steady at outside prices.
Cash quiet and steady.
The offerings of lard were rather free
early and prices declared 214@5cper 100
lbs. Later, however, the demand was
more active and prices suddenly advanced
15@20c. Toward the close prices receded
5m 7Lc and closed steadv Prices wara
maintained during the afternoon. The
frmness received no aid from the hog
market, which was dull and weak even at
5@10c concessions. The arrivals for the
day were 10000 animals and the quality
of the receipts was not so good as has been
usual lately.
There will be no session of board of
trade or call board on Wednesday, Decora-
tion day.

NEW YORK.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. |

New YORK, May 28.-There was fair
amount of business at the opening this
morning, and considerable strength in
several stocks. Reports of the foolish cut
ting of passenger rates between the Rock
Island and Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
caused weakness later, and before noon
prices declined throughout the list, the
market becoming exceedingly dull. The
fear that the war in rates might extend to
other east and west lines unsettled North
western and st. Paul. Delaware & Lacka-
wanna was about the most active property
and did not yield much until the last.
Manitoba lost the advance of Saturday and
sold from 121112 to 119. During the after
noon the market became perfectly stag
nant. In the last half hour the lowest
prices for the day were made IN many in
stances. The sharp advance in the grain
market assisted the depression in stocks.
An adjusting of the difficulties of the lines
now at Ioggerheads would probably be fol-
lowed by sharp rallies, as the short interest
has been increased to-day.

GREAT BRITAIN,

DUBLIN, May 2S.-Michael Pagan, con
victed of the murder of Burke, was hanged
in Kilmainham jail this morning. The
weather was overcast. Pagan, since re-
ceiving his sentence, has been very attentive
to the instructions of the priests who visited
him. In an interview recently with rela.
tives, he declared he had not hurt a hair OF
Burke's head. His mother is confident OF
his innocence, and her son wrote the
queen repeating this declaration, but the
letter was not answered. Canon Kennedy
attended the condemned man this morning.
The black flag announcing that the execu-
ton had taken place, was hoisted over the
Jail at o'clock. A strong force of police
and military was present. Everything
went off quietly. A small crowd of per-
sons were collected outside the prison, a
few Of whom knelt in prayer for the repose
of the soul of Pagan. The condemned man
was pale but appeared resigned to his fate.
Death was instantaneous.

pose of injuring him.
