AN ADDRESS
To Organized Labor Of the United
States and Public Generally.
Continued from first page


at must be admitted that the syn
dictate has tried to keep its promises.
If it has disappointed the hopes and
expectations of those confding those
promises, it is proper to offer the apol-
ogy that such failure is due to causes
and circumstances beyond its control.
Last spring it put up the prices for
coal in the lake and other large mar
kets and the public refused to buy it.
What alternative, then, was left, OK
cept to make its miners, who had been
receiving hardly enough to keep them
in decency and comfort, como down
% per cent. in their wages. The min
ers refused, and replied that such a
reduction meant to their families and
themselves pauperism and slavery.
"What, however, do such leading
spirits as those who organize and man
age syndicate and railway monopolies
care for such plaintive pleadings and
pitiful responses
"What does it concern them whether
the wives and children of those poor
workingmen are clad in rags and
forced to live in squalorf To them
the almighty dollar is above humanity,
above mercy, above conscience.
"Those nabobs want and must re-
ceive, if possible, the full measure of
their interest even If the attempt, as in
this case, involves strikes, rebellion
and bloodshed.
This interest must be wrung from
the toll of the poor miner even as the
grinding taxes of Egypt are wrung
from the helpless fellah that cultivates
the soil, or as the rack rents of the
European landlords are extorted from
an enslaved and plundered peasantry.
| What shame it is tor rich men. who
have enough, and even a superiority
of riches, to pinch and grind their poor
fellow-beings, whose hard lot it is to
earn their daily bread by the severest
toll.
"How cruel to demand not only the
pound of flesh, but the very carcass of
their helpless victims. l say again
and again more wicked and more
heartless lockout than the present one
has never disgraeed America"
| The members of the syndicate feel
that they are already defeated, and in
the depths of their agony they have
resorted to every base and imaginary
falsehood to cut off tho contributions
of a liberty-loving and sympathetic
people to our cause. Our union, our
manhood and our liberty is threatened,
and we appeal to all who love liberty,
manhood and union to assist us in
this bitter conflict, which has not been
OF our choosing, but which has been
| forced upon us by a conspiracy of allied

each of the varying tastes of the family
circle. First and foremost it gives ALL
THE NEWS, complete as to details, yet
concise in form. Its connection with
the CHICAGO DAILY NEWS (mem.
Der of the associated Press) gives it
facilities for news gathering unsurpassed
by any journal in the country. Its
MARKET REPORTS are specially COM
plcte and thoroughly trustworthy. Par
ticular attention is given to agricultural
and home matters. Every issue con-
tains SIX COMPLETED STORIES, and o
regular installment Of an original story
by some well-known English or Amer
lean author, exclusively secured for the

densed notes on fashions, art, industries,

duced only two Observation-Disclosures
and paupers. This is partially mis-
take. We have lawyers, doctors,
preachers, mechanics-plenty of
them-who belong to neither. But
certainly there is great third class
pervading all conditions for which
our "form of government is no more
accountable than would be mon
archy-feminine men, masculine wo-
men, grown babies, young centena-

Grand Jury Notes. George W.
Hutson was indicted for assaulting
Capt. Mansfield, conductor, when
elected from the Cumberland and
Pennsylvania railroad passenger train

pany for removal of the Koontz mine
scales.
Robert Russell, weigl,master at
Koontz, was also indicted % for VOL
alton of the mining law in not keeping
list of the cars weighed where the

Tothe Honorable, the JudgeS Qt tie Circ'dt Co"rt

The Concord school of philosophy
will shortly discuss topic entitled
"The Barrenness of the Unknow-
able" The Cumberland Lyceum of
by-gone day would have stated it
in this way: "The Fertility of an
Accepted Invite to Take Something"
AN anti-bi-metalic paper in New
York yells out that "the silver dollar
must co." Why, it does go in fact.
it appears to go more than it comes.
Here in the JOURNAL Office, for in
stance, it comes singly, frequently ac-
companied by half or two quarters,
but they go out in droves. Herein
dwells the secret Of our persistent
precept-- $3.50 per amnum in advance.
SOME crank writes an article for
this paper suggesting that the habit
of women getting up SO early is sui
cidal, or words implying as much.
He or she did not communicate his
or her autograph as guarantee of
good faith. This we must have be-
fore publication. Meanwhile, how
about the poor men, who must get up
and be at work by 6 or get fired out.
The JOURNAL is a staunch friend of
our overworked ladies, but not ex-
clusively.
INFORMATION comes out through
a medical journal that much of the
flour marketed and consumed in this
country is adultsrated with tale, silica
and other equally pernicious miner
ais. If we could tie all the Sound
rels that do these things in all lines
of food to big post close to num-
erous stone-pile, and employ the three
hundred boys that attend the Frost
burg public school to throw rocks at
the post, the tendency to overpro-
duction would sustain healthy
| check.

They Like Their Teacher.

At the close Of the summer term of the
Bowling school last Tuesday, the teacher,
Mr.. Andrew Thompson. was the recipient
of delightful surprise at the hands of
his pupils. When the noon hour arrived
Mr.. Thompson was invited by his school
to take dinner with them in grove near
by, and arriving at the place designated,
he found happy picnic party had been
arranged in his honor. But surprise No.
2 came when he went back to the school
room for the afternoon exercises There
he was met by Mr.. II. Ohaver, one of the
township school directors who in neat
speech, presented Mr.. Thompson with an
elegant mirror, in behalf of his pupils, as
a testimonial of good will and in token
of their appreciation of his merits as a
teacher and friend. Mr.. Thompson was
taken completely by storm, and was deeply
touched by such complimentary action on
the part of his pupils. Mr.. Thompson
has been rendered the school for another
year, and has accepted.

County Property Valuation,

County Clerk Donaldson received the
assessors book from South Moline town
ship this morning, which enabled him to
foot up the assessed valuation of the real
estate and personal property iu the coun>
ty in time for the committee on equaliza>
ton of the board of supervisors which
meets this afternoon. South Moline s
valuation is 1882 1888, which in 1884 was
1884, 55S. making total assessed valua
ton in the county of $7,7s9, 025 against
$7,962, 267, year ago-considerable of q
falling off.
The returns show 1883 dogs in the en-
tire county, $50 of which are reported
from Rock Island and 40 from Moline
1t is indeed surprising how the festive
CANNES diminish about the time the as
SCISSOR comes around. Think of it, only
$50 dogs in Rock Island; but the assessor
of course, is not to blame.
