The government imposes the tax Tpro-
tective tariff and capital raises the
price from 81 to S1.5O, and wages from
SO to Sl2 per week. Labor is pleased

more or less good and we shall Join every
one that comes to the surface so long as
we are convinced that its objects are for
the betterment of the race. We want
to see all the reform elements united in
to one party, and the Chicago move
ment is the most advanced step in that
direction that we know anything about,
hence we are for it, and advise all nation
ais, greenhaCkers, Knights of Labor and

upon the table the bill providing for the
incorporation of societies to promote the

shall not be granted the privilege that
every other organization, having any
conceivable object, is granted. Michigan

"The car is crowned hail to the
czar," shouts organized murder every

of this country begins to breath freer,
and gaining courage each passing day,
sneeringly inquiries, where are your Nj
hilists now?r The czar in Moscow, pro-
tected by fortress of bayonets, to kill
time and subdue his nervous fears, fills
the capacous stomachs of his gilded
mobiles by giving grand dinners. Glut-
