have no time to teach in our meetings

members and other routine work of the
society. Let US put the paper into their

The nonopolistic corporations of this
country are using every effort to crush
out all the manhood of poor humanity.
They, the corporations, have lost all
sense of right and wrong, having lost
their individuality BY becoming part Of
the corporation. But God will keep
track of them and hold each separate
man responsible for the deeds of the
whole. You cannot shift the RESPONSE,
biIity Of your individual selves upon the
manager or agent Of the company. Every
bondholder and every stockhorder' are
responsible for every act of their
agent. If he is despot SO ars you. Il
he has the audacity to refuse to tieat
with the workman because he has been
educated up to your standard Of morals
and has formed a corporation of his fel,
low laborers to stand at his back to de.
fend his rights, as in the case of the
southern coal miners, the responsibility
rests with you, stockholders. You have
learned your slaborers to use your weap.

particular callingl against the encroach,

the ability to wrest from Gods earth the
wealth whichahas laid buried there fol

Editor LABOR ENaUIRER,
DENVER, Dec. 22.-Will you give me
space in your valuable paper to say q
few words to workingmenin favor 6fTHH
LABOR ENQUIRER 1t has been with US
now for two years and has fearlessly adj
vocated our rights, and very much valu-
able time has been devoted to our SER
vice by Mr.. Buchanan, who has labored
on amid many discouragements to help
the down-trodden and oppressed, not
only by means Of the paper but the man
himself, with feeling heart and ready
hand. has ever been forward to assist in
our battle for the rights Of labor, and it
lis too bad that there should be any
anxiety on his mind as to the financial
success Of e,.paper. Can we not set his
mind at rest onthis subject, 80 that he
may devote all his powers to the cause
of labor, helping to raise the laborers o.
this city and state up to their proper po'
sillons, SO that they may stand face te
face with the employers of labor. while
they are making bargain for the sale o.
their capital-which is their ability te
work without standing hat in hand OF
without covering like q dog with his
tail between his legs, while they ask fol
an opportunity TO help produce theil
share Of the wealth Of the country,
and this without any obnoxious agree,
mentf
Let me suggest that each labor society
appoint an officer to- procure subserip'
tions for THE ENQUIRER for any length
of time, either quarterly or annually
receiving the premium and forward ng
it TO the proper person, and having the
paper forwarded in ratr"o to his home

T.r.tion without approximation.

A century ago taxation without repre-
sentat;on was declared to be tyranny.
Then it was imposed bya powerful nation.
But we have to-day the same thing inn
posed by an Insignificant few, who by
the aid of a sham ballot control parties
and consequently legislation. II it
reused three millions of people then to
make a government for themselves.
ought it not to rouse fifty millions now
to make a ballot for themselves? It
will rouse them at one bound, when they
will learn how easily it can eIdone.
Who will help: to spread the lightr
Volunteers to the front? To the 'front.'
Let US expose this electoral sham, and
establish the ballot. Simeon Stetson.

The miners of the Colorado Coal and
Iron company perfected satisfactory
arrangements with the managers and
have returned to work. This is good
news for everybody. The terms Of the
agreement are substantially what was
submitted as much as month ago, and
1t is to be regretted that it took the
management SO long to recognize the
fairness of the propositions.

Of getting a night school opened In the

fear the coming conflict.
Brothes, you are to be congratulated
that your person IN the front rank Of
skirmlshers has drawn the first fire
from the hireling army; il shows that
your shots have struck home. 1t also
teaches US that we have foe to contend
against who are ignorant of our NUM-
Ibers, strength, resources and intelli-
gence, and foolishly imagine if they can
crush few leaders they can enslave
mankind. Let them keep on thinking
So until the avalanche crushes them :
then they won't be able to think. Let
the fools alone in their ignorance; they
know not that we are inaugurating
tactics in our.warfare which will enable
privates in the rear rank to become
leaders. The material of their forces
we well know, for deserters from their
ranks join us daily, bringing with them
hatred which will only be quenched
| in death. The house of Saul is getting
weaker and weaker, and David is get
ting stronger and stronger. Presently
the onslaught will be signaled and then
we will fight as men who have no re-
treat.
