If the laborers employed on the foun-
dations of the federal bui lding in this
city do not like to work ten hours per
day, why don't they take their time and
make way for more willing workers.
Mondays News. ~
Eight hours is legal days work by
act of congress, in all the departments of
the government. In some departments
the employees only work six. If the
writer of the above piece of ldiocy is
eager for a Job and feels himself "a more
willing worker it is likely some laborer
on the foundations of the federal build
ing in this city can be induced to take
his time" and make way for him he can
then experience what it is to be robbed
of two hours labor per day. He would
then probably be in favor Of enforcing
the law.
When one sees paragraph like the
above in a one horse newspaper heis apt
to wonder what laborer smacked the
writer of it on the nose and what he did
did it for. @..'. ..@ Z

VOTE FOR BUTLER.

Vote for him because he has better
personal record than either of the other
candidates because he has, in his letter,
expressed sentiments truly democretic
he has expressed them squareIy. while
the assertions of the other two candi-
dates can be interpreted in'various ways
to suit any occasion {; because the larger
the vote for him this fall, the more sub
stantial will be the foundation for rad
ical reform party four years hence, and
because many of the leading daily jour
mails and many influential men indorse
Butler and the principles he asks you to
support. 4.I'.
Few principles except the, inherent
itch for Office appear in the two plat
forms of the old parties. Butler has
shown the difference between "a plat
form of principles and one of expedi-
ents." ..> -.-
He has been accused of ambition by
those who well know that the other can
didates have no object other than Office,
salaries and plunder.- If he has an am
bition it is worthy one. 1t may be
that he sees an opportunity to bring
about such great reforms for the people
that the record of his work would equal
the record of past statesmen. To win
such record his services must be valu-
able. He must leave the condition Of
laborers better than he found it.
If such an ambition is wrong, our ira
ditions and our education are wrong
We have always been told that it is a
noble thing to be worthy of high place
in the service and confidence of the
people. ~ tFv2
Butler has passed the timein life when
selfish ambition Is dominant, but he
could give us few good years of public
service. His'address ought to convince
US that such service would be for our
interests. He has shown ins conven-
ton his opposition to monopoly and
privilege. He is above the necessity Of
needing plunder. He will annihilate
one of the old parties. Then vote for
Butler. A vote for him, even in tempo
rary defeat, is worth dozen cast for the
successful candidate. ~

In the greenback labor party lies the
only hope of the producers of the land
to secure the full reward of their labors
That party designs that the government
alone shall. have control of the currency
of the people and that the, amount of
currency liz circulation shall be limited
only by the amount required by the vol
ume of business. AS the matter now
stands, few men have the power to lock
up the currency whenever it is to their
interest to do SO, and by this action they
can and do intict untold evils upon the
masses of the people. The present hard
times are a striking example of this fact.
Though there is not money enough In
circulation ordinarily to do the business
of the country, these money -mongers, by
their irresponsible power over the cur.
rency, have made times far worse than
they should be. The monetary system
of government is the most important
thing which can effect the welfare of its
people. All other questions, compared
to it, are mere idle issues Let the money
be controlled by ring of irresponsible
men and they have in their hands the
power to say to every denizen OF the
land how much food he shall consume
and when he shall work and when he
shall play. The mass Of the people live,
move and have their being simply as
slaves. This fact is becoming SO glaring
that thousands upon thousands of people
have had their attention attracted to it;
and every one who will make patient
Investigation of it is certain to arrive at
the conclusion that the wrong which the
government has imposed upon the pro-
ducers, at the dictation of the money
power, is so appalling in its iniquity and
baseness as absolutely to defy the imag-
ination. 1t is the determination of the
peoples party 20 remedy these evils,
The national banks must go. In their
place greenbacks, issued by the govern
ment and controlled by the government
that is, the people-will besubstituted.
Until that time arrives no one need ex-
pect any such thing as either progress or
prosperity. Therefore work, and work
hard, for Butler!

AN ELEGANT SHOWING. IN,

Several occurrences of late would at
tract more attention if due Importance
we're more generally attached to them.
Some miners in the east were arrested
and placed in Jail. Their wives applied
for admission to the Jail because they
had only corn meal in the house. Prob
ably that was the normal condition of
their cupboards, but they wanted to
share the good fortunes of their hus-
bands-the sudden good times resulting
from their access to prison fare, which
may have included salt pork in its menu,
This is an elegant showing for republic
can administration. Some may, and
others may not, believe the republican
party responsible for it. It is to be hoped
the miners on election day will think it

nocturnal Thomas feline to pelt their
industrial rights out Of one another by
some process hard to understand. Bricks

Chicago. No deaths
The motive for such an act could
hardly be given by the strikers them
selves. They are not consistent. They
have probably voted The democratic or
republican ticket heretofore, thus indors-
ing the system Of production under
which they work. Under that system
the brick-yard owners have the supreme
right to hirewh ON they please, discharge
them when they please and pay them
as little as possible. The non-union men
had a perfect right to be hired at any
kind of wages The action ofthe strikers
implies dissent from that system. For
strikers to attempt to drive out new men
from the yards, means that the strikers
think they haye a better right there.
They have no right until they assume
some kind of ownership or control Of
the yards When they are intelligent
enough they will take measures, either
by cooperation or through the public
corporation, to gain that control.
On election day they fondly imagine
they are democratic. Next day theygo
back to adespotic system of industry,
not realizing that that system governs
them wholly, while the democratic gov
ernment concerns them not at all, and
meyer will, until they bring it down to
brickmaking. They must each have a
voice in the enterprise as every man has,
in theory, voice in democratic govern
ment. When two sets of men fight
under such circumstances they take the
role Of savages. The regulars think they
are wronged by the scabs. but. both are
wronged by conditions. They must
unite and change them.

They pledged their support andinfuence

were listened to with respect BY allthe

reasons the working women advanced
for wanting the ballot. they were inter

so presented before. When they found

Of incalculable misery and crime, of pov-
