Major Warner makes a bid for demo

Judge Philips in the Long case tear
lessly decided the law-alaw permitted
to remain on the statute book by every
republican legislature. His decision
was in favor of a poor man against a
powerful corporation that was trying to
wrest from him his little all. Instead
OF being a blow at capital Judge Philips
decision enabled the Legislature to see
that the obnoxious law should be re-
pealed. The point was raised IN the
Gaze that required consideration OF the
statute, and to have acted differently
from what he did Judge Philips would
have been a coward or dishonest. He
is neither. The judges course in the
matter was altogether honorable to
hun both as a jurist and as a man. The
cry raised against him upon this case is
specious, false and demagogic.

There was no abuse of Maj. Warner
either in Judge Philips Or Senator
Vests speeches. The former only
pointed out that Major Warner voted
against even a consideration of the
question of reducing the customs taxes.
Senator Vest showed that Major War
ner kept the office of district attorney
to which he was not elected, but which
he received with Townsley and Van
Horn, by Rodman's outrage of casting
out the entire vote of Jackson county.

Talk about the friends of labor! In
the war for fair rates to private coal
operators, in which every coal miner
had an interest, the democratic paper
was the only one here which attacked
the Missouri Pacific railroad without
gloves. 1t did this regardless of Mr..
McGrew, for he had not before that
been our friend, simply in the interest
of Justice and right. 1t received no
reward, pecuniary or otherwise, it
asked none and desired none, it simply
did it's duty. But as in most Other
cases it seemed to be the democrat tina

their views and methods" This law
was passed by democrats anxious to
accomplish practical results in the cause

from time to time as experience may

WHO Is THE FRIEND OF LABOR?

The only claim the republicans have
on the labor vote is the alleged protec-
ton to labor of the high tariff, which,
as a matter of fact robs the laborer to
enrich the capitalist.
The republican party i'll reality Is
the enemy of labor and the friend o
corporate power. When the Missouri
Pacific strike was in progress the DEM
ocratic papers of the state were Ill
sympathy with every good object sought
and every proper means employed by
the workingmen. They were denoun-
ced for being so, as we can show by
our files, and the republican press, led
by the st. Louis Globe-D Democrat and
Kansas City journal, were loud i'll
their denunciation of the strikers, III
season and out of season, right or
wrong.
To-day the Globe Democrat and
journal will advise laboring men, as
if they had the right to lead them, to
vote for Major Warner for congress
because he is their friend. And yet
| Major Warner voted against lowering
| the prices of their flannel shirts, their
hats, coats, p%antaloons and shoes; their
| picks, shovels and other tools, by a
reduction of the tariff.
Wherein does the coal miner get one
cent return tor the extra dollar he pays
on every three dollars worth of these
goods he buys? The specious answer
made is, that keeping alive the manu-
features furnishes q home market. Ii
Is untrue. Nearly all the manufacture:
can live without the subsidy granted
them by the tariff; al any rate they
can certainly exist with less subsidy
than they now receive. And il is true
that the ''prOtection'' furnished is te
the capitalist and not to the laborer, a;
the former goes into the open market
of the world for his work people, con
tracing with foreign pauper labor
which is brought owe to this country
under bond and returned when its time
expires. This is history.
These republican friends of labor
had a queer way ofshowing their friend
ship in congress where nine labor bills
were passed by a democratic house
and non-concurred in by a repub-
lican senate.
In this state every law in behalf o
labor upon the statute books, and the!
are numerous and salutary, has had
democratic origin. The democratic i
the party of the common, plain people
and has always been so since its found
er, Jefferson, abolished titles and al
the insignia and paraphernalia of arts
tocracy. The Astors, the Goulds, thu
Vanderbilts, the Depews, the nationa
banks as a body. the entire protecte'
manufacturing industry-all of thes
are republican. Every republican sen
ator except Van Wyck is their advocat
and friend. Vest, Voorhees,, Black
burn, Beck and the other democrats
with one or two exceptions, are thel
opponents and the friends OF the people
, Read the speeches as they appear il
the papers from day to day, and see
, this statement is not literally true; an
, yet with this diabolically false cry 9
, "protection" the republicans confirm
to gull work people into voting thei
ticket.
