ED. DEMoCRAT:-In tO-days issue of
the Cleveland Leader appeared the fol-
lowing news item:
Queen Victory left BalmOral to-day
for Windsor Castle. Police closely
guarded the train at Aberdeen. The
Great Western Railway Company took
extraordinary precauttOn at Windsor
Slough. Large gangs of men guarded
the arches"
This is fit commentary on the reign
of this woman. Had large gangs of men
to guard the arches" for fear of being
blown up by some of her starving sub
jects while she rolls in the accumulated
wealth of millions of dollars wrung
from the poor evicted Irish and other
tenants, and the Ignorant nations of
India, and elsewhere.
Lets see," In the year 1916 the
famine struck Ireland. Now the loss of
a crop in any other country of the world
Is not so serious matter for there is al
ways the accumulation of previous pros
periOus years to fall back on. 1t is
simply an Inconvenience and that is all.
But in Ireland it is another thing, for
there are no accumulatiOns. The land
lOrd keeps the tenant down TO his two
meals day. Such as it is, and when
the crops fail it is simply starvation or
living upon charity, and the charity
Ireland has to depend upon from the
TObber nation of the world, England,
where the proceeds of the labor of the
country goes, may be judged from the
fact that Victoria Queen and Empress of
more force and fraud that any Royal
nuisance that ever wore a crown. Sub

revenue thousand times more than she
could possibly spend. Were she not the
most penuriOus of women, with an es-
tate, and an enormous appropriation for
every child she bore, which gave her a
premium for breeding "A worthless brood
Of producers, to live from the earn
ings of the tOiling people. However, she
made the most of the opportunities in
this line.
Queen VictOria's gold and silver plate,
which is kept at Windsor Palace, is
worth $15,0O0,000. When the Queen en-
teTtained the late Gear of Russia, short
ly after the marriage of his daughter to
the Duke of Edinburgh, gold plates to
the value of $10,000,0O0 was used at the
banquet. Where did this woman get
this vast amount of gold and silverP
Ask the East India slaves. Ask the mil
lions of miners who go down under the
sea. When this worthless Queen dies
where Will her accumulated TObberies
go? If it is Bible justice to rob the poor
as she has done, then we have got the
wrong Bible. No wonder she has to be
guarded. America gave more to Ireland
in her famine seasons than all England; !;
and many merchant in this country
gave double what the Queen did, while
she assists in rObbing them and shares
the plunder.
In the city Of Cork, in 1916, there were
five thousand homeless people, and
many with young and tender children,
begging for something to eat. Anything.
They filled their stomachs with cabbage
leaves, turnip tops. Everything in fact.
And when this was not to be had, they
crowded to the wOrkhOuse to die.
We are drifting towards government
like England. Her lords and dukes
are buying up the lands of the far west,
sold contrary to law by Republican
Congress. We are aping her in many
ways. We have her banking system,
while the said system makes the rich
richer and the poor poorer, elects U. s.
Senators, ,cOrrupts state Legislatures with
money, and breeds an idle, scheming,
shOddy aristOcracy.
During the attempt at Chicago to
nominate the bankers tool, Gen. Grant,
for third term President, there was an
audaciOus paper printed called the I'm
perialist," while the streets were filled
with staggering set of lOafers, who
declared for Grant for third term. to
pave the way for throne in the United
States. The friends of Gen. Grant in.
tended to subvert the Republican sys-
TEN in the American government.
Jay Gould says: I'VE shall soon be
living under monarchy. would give
one million dollars to see Grant back in
the White House." Gould gave 100000
to help elect Garfield and Arthur. The
question naturally arises, can the Amer
lean people continue to sustain the Re-
publican party, of mOnarchial tenden-
cies, and host Of other deViltries, en-
acted by that party, is a matter that
must soon be decided, and trust ere it
be too late. A KNIGHT OF LABOR,
