CAPITAL and Anarchy.

Capitalists and monopolists simply
look upon their employees as slaves,
Equality is abhorrent to them, and when
occasion offers they use the lash of
power with unseemly promptitude and
unwarranted severity. Initiating the
feudal lords of the middle ages, they
wish to have the lives of their depend
ents at their disposal and trample on
them at will. Whatever manly feelings
or Independent ideas their servants may
hold they seek to absolutely crush and
make them mere machines. The tyr
amy they enforce springs from selfish
nes and greed of gain, and is barbarous
in it's details and accomplishment.
America, which above all lands should
be exempt from this hybrid monster, is
as much accursed with it as the lands of
Euro e. 1t is sapping the vitals of
labor, whitening the marrow in its
bones, establishing degradation and
slavery where, erstwhile, reigned con-
tent and independence. Every day we
hear of outrages perpetrated by capital
lists on 'tha9workingmen in their employ.

BONANZA'S WILL BE DONE.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3O.-It was in con-
sequence of the urgent appeals of Sena-
tor Fair that the president consented to
the reOpening of the mint at Carson
City, Nevada.
At the command of the millionaire
presidents bow in submission.
At the command of the bonanza king
mints are opened, lands are gwen away
and legislation enacted to swell his mil
lions At bonanza Fairs command the
president opens the mint, and will close
it when the bonanza kings purpose has
been accomplished.
And yet the people read dispatches,
similar in import to this one, and fail to
see anything 10 them prophetic of ma
tional dissolution,
The power of the bonanza king has
been so craftilv used and 80 gradually
and steadily applied to the places and
persons most susceptible that to-day
things in general are so completely in
his grasp that the people look on and
say to one another-if they say ANY,
thing-"What can We dp?-nothing," :"
and the bonanza king says, What are
YOU going to do aboutlt? THe people
be damned"
The man who is honest with himself
and possessed of desire that his coun-
try should be the land of the free will
ask himself how long can the powe, Of
wealth continue to increase until the
government of our country will BE- as
centralized and the power SO directly in
the hands of the heartless men of
wealth that it will instead of free land,
be land of serfs ruled by an aristoc.

WILLIAM H. MEYER


Perhaps some of the warmest friends
THE ENQUIRER has, will be anxious to
know whv it sees fit to take hand in
politics during this campaign THE EN-
QUIRER will use It's best efforts, in all
honorable ways, to elect William II.
Meyer, because its editor, from a per-
sonal knowledge of and warm friend
ship for the man, considers him the best
man nominated for governor, by any or
either of the parties who have placed
men as candidates for the votes of the
people of this state.
This course The ENQUIRER will pursu g
with as much pleasure and as heartily
! as it did two years ago when it supported
him for the l omnation for the same
Office. The personal views and opln-
ions expressed years ago, and before he
was candidate for Office, in regard to
laboring people and the economic ques
ton in general, entitle him to the
friendship and support of THE ENQUIRER.
do not expect, and would not seek To
convey the idea, that the election of
Billy Mey yer will result in any impor-
tant advantage to our cause, but of one
thing there is a certainty: that the
workers of this state, if he ls elected,
will have In the governors chair man
in whose heart there is warm spot for
tho man who Iabors.
He is man whom the common peo-
lie of Lis own town and county respect
and look to as one of themselves. He is
man whose honesty impresses even a
casual acquaintance. Unlike the majOr-
ity of men who seek, and have sought,
the honorable position of governor of
this state, he is not man with a bo-
nanza pile as a recommendation.
With partisan politics T HE ENQUIRER
has nothing to do, butt will consiste atty
and honestly use its best efforts to the
end that the best man nominated for
governor may win.

by one of its members
"It is certainly very remarkable to
find body of intelligent men at this pc
riod, and IN cosmopolitan city like
New York, prescribing strangers merely
because of opinions concerning politics
and the organization of society which
they share with many educated think
ers of this country and of Europe. 1t re-
minds US of the days when the society
of Boston which prided itself on being
the most respectable turned its back on
abolitionists for no other reason than
that they wanted to get rid of slavery.
"The Manhattan club ls primarily an
association of d moc1ats, and therefore
it agrees with US in accepting the prln-
cipes of Jefferson, which are radically
opposed to the theories of the Socialists,
who would carry the Capitalization of
government and the doctrine of inter-
ference by government to their furthest
extreme. But enlightened men do not
require that those who associate with
them shall agree with them in opinion.
If the difference ls irreconcilable and its
discussion is likely to lead to acrimoni-
GUS controversy, they avoid the subject
on occasions of purely social intercourse.
They do not treat their opponents as
unfit for their company, nor do they
shun their society from fear of implying
dlsloyalty to their own convictions. If
| that was the case, Catholics and Protest
ants, Christians and infdels could never
be civil to one another, and society
weuld be narrow and monotonous be-
Yond measure.
The spirit exhibited bv the Manhat
tan club seems to US provincial, not the
| spirit-o of men of the world, and therefore
we are surprised at the treatm ent of the
two Socialists. 1t was more than pro.
vincal and narrow minded it was rude
and unCivilized."
