strike is anticipated if they are not re-
instated, as has been demanded. \ large

Every workman in the country should

in organizing the only true principle of
protection of American industry. For
PHYS sake, have you not tried the old
incompetent, capital-favoring parties long
enough? Or do you need that capital
shall grind you down few more turns
of the merciless monopolizing screw
And sister workers, you, too, are needed
to Join with us in the righteous struggle
to secure an honest share in the product
Of our toll. We bid you join us as equals,
demanding equal pay for equal work, and
the whole field of industry to be thrown
open to your grasp.-Lahor Star.

The Labor enquirer., 1883-04-07

Jay Gould is reported as saying that
Europe has been buying our securities
very steadily, l think, and certainly the
balance of trade is largely in our favor"
And on this showing he predicts con-
tinuance Of prosperity" Then the more
we owe the richer we get; the more
bonds we fas natiOn) sell to European
bankers. the more prosperity at home
And it's true enough, in a seuse-just as
it iS>true that there may be plenty of
money, and every luxury going, in the
family which has just mortgaged the
homestead for all it is worth. Gold, IN
der our present banking and currency
system, must be had, or trade stagnates.
If the gold comes in exchange for the
surplus products Of the country, and i'll
excess of what is sent out, it is called
prosperity. Admitting that the surplus
grain, cotton, pork, and other things are
really Of less value to the people Of this
country than the gold for which they
have been exchanged, perhaps the trade
was rood one, and perhaps the balance
in our favor is a sign Of prosperity-es-
neriaIIv 50 if the farmer and mechanic,
and all concerned in raising, manufac-
tnHring, collecting and transporting the
products. Get a fair share of the gold for
which they were exchanged. But when
the amount Of gold needed under our
present system to keep business going
and to avert panic, is procured in ex-
change for interest bearing evidences of
debt, called bonds, we cant see in the
transaction any signs Of prosperity. The
nation which secures an inflow Of gold,
necessary to avert a financial collapse,
bv selling bonds to European bankers,
is experiencing the same kind Of pros
peritv as that which attIicts the dry
goods merchant when he has to borrow
money from pawnbroker to keep out
the sheriff. We do mot believe Mr.. JAY
Gould such fool as the report alluded
to would make him appear; he knows
better; but then, he may not always say
just what he thinks, and then, again,
perhaps he has arranged so that bust
ness panic and the ruin of thousands and
the poverty and distress of millions
might mean "prosperity"-for Mr.. Gould.
An INSCRIPTIONS stock gambler, with
perhaps two hundred millions in hand,
and as much or more within reach,
might make big thing out Of such a
financial crash as that of 1857 or 1878.
Perhaps he might head off" Mr.. Croker
before he got through, and order "8ome
more railroads" out Of the profts.-
