PARSONS AND POWDERLY.
Parsons Says POBderly Does Not
Tell the Truth abOut the
knights.

Chicago, Aug. 25.-The little speech of
7. Y. POwderly, master workman of the
Knights OF Labor, denouncing anarchy,
has evoked reply from Parsons, one of
the convicted anarchists. He challenges
Powderlv TO frd a m an who can truthfuily
say he ParsOns) ever advocated or cOun-
tenanced the destruction of life and prop
erty. Parsons letter S9ys "The fOunda-
ton principle of socialism or anarchy is
the same as the Knights of Labor, viz:
abolition Ct the wage system and substitu
ton IN It's stead OF an industrial system of
universal cooperating, making every cap
italist labOrer and every laborer capt.
taiis;, and ending to ever the conflict of
classes and the inevitable antagonism of
the wage slave system" Instead OF advi-
sing the use of force, Parsons claims he
has always predicted the social res Olt of
the working people against the force
system.
PARSONS SAYS:
ain the past ten years have been active
as labor organizer and orator. | am a
knight Of Labor. In that time from New
York, in the east, to st. Louis and Kansas
City, in the west, and from st. Paul, Mil
waukee and Detroit, in the north, to Lou
isville and Baltimore, in the south, have
addressed at least 1000 worsingmen, and
among all that number in all these years,
challenge Mr.. Powderly to find a man
who can truthfully say, i, as socialist or
an rchist, have advocated or countenanced
destruction of life and property. Whoever
says so, lies. We have declared
the existing social order is founded
on force and maintained by force,
and we have and DO sill predict social re-
volt OF the working people against this force
system. The wage workers will be driven
into open rebellion against class rule and
class domination. This result will follow
from cause to effect and not from anything
Mr.. Powderly, myself or any one else may
do or say. The more general and intelli-
gent, efiusion of this truth, less violent and
destructive will the period of transition be.
THIS Is AN ANARCHY,
teachings of which mean an end i.reVer to
brute force, reign of eternal peace and
prosperity. For saying these things, myself
and comrades are now in prison, awaiting
the pleasure of our executioners. | think
it illbefts Mr.. Powderly in the name of
labor to join the cry for our blood. Wheth-
er we live, or whether We die. A social
revolution is inevitable. The speech of
J. G. Blaine at Sebago, Maine, to-day, is
real opening of national presidential cam
paign in 1888. He reads the signs of the
times and foretells the coming ques-
tion-the labor problem. But
| Opine he reckons with
out his host when he endeavors 10 outline
the protective tariff question as the coming
issue. That racket won't work any longer.
1t is played out The liberty of labor is
worthless thing when it consists of mere
choice between being feeced by protection
lists or a free trade exploiter. Our present
statesmen will have to try again or else
other issues and other men will lead the
labor hosts in 1888.

Sedgwick's FOOlishness

Mr.. Sedgwick may have been sent
into the Mexican wilderness as a
scapegoat. If he actually made some
of the remarks which have been i'm
puted to him en- route, the sec etary
os state is to be credited with intelli-
gence in choosing him for this func-
ton. II seems incredible that this
diplomatic agent or special envoy
could have used such words as these i.
eff it can be found that the rights of
American citizens have been abused :;
if the investigation develops that in
this, or in any previous case. Ameri-
can citizens have been wronged, the
people of America can rest assured
that the government will take firm
stand, and if war is found to be uua-
voidable, then, without the slightest
hesitation, war will be declared. y

parties Tor hostility toward prohibition, de-
mands that congress forbid the issue of a

resolution of the late republican state con-
ventiOn as a snare to catch votes The
platform also claims expressions of views
upon matters of general politics and gov
eminent.

like the Irishman, "is spiling for a
fight" and pushes them forward. The
effect of these strikes is disastrous IN
almost every instance. 1t will be re-
memberedt. hat tive years ago a great
street car strike was inauguraled in
St. Louis under the instiga-
ton and encouragement of an
assembly of the Knights of Labor.
Nnie hundred men went out and even
when everything was against them,
the assembly still encouraged them,
and lied to them, and fooled them,
and the result was nine hundred men
were left without work, their families
left destitute, and themselves reduced
o despair. They had not, many of
them, been dissatisfied with their Wa
ges in the first place, but the assembly
told them they ought to be, and the
result was as has been told. In New
York city, there is immense wealth
and there is the most AFFECT poverty,
cheek by jOwl, and there are always
the contrasts between the two which
is calculated 10 vex the soul. 1t re-
quires merely a speech from the agi-
tator, merely a touch from the incen-
diary torch of the organization leader
and 10! the thing is done. Men strike.
A city of two million people isthrOwn
into confusion; blood flows; rioting
takes the place of peace; the rich
suffer but little, and the poor drink to
the dregs the cup of deprivation which
they themselves have brewed. 1t is
no light thing 10 engage in strike in
a great CITY.

The Street Car Strike.

New York, August 66.-Two cars were
started out early this morning on the
Broadway line. They had strong police
protection. When the car on the Broad

attacked by the mob of roughs and strik-
ers and thrown from the track. 1t took
but a few moments of vigorous work by
the police to clear Broadway. a number
OF cars are being run, each carrying six
policemen and the streets being filled with
the blue coats.
This afterooon il was given out tina. the
Broadway car troubles were over. That
the company and the strikers had agreed
and that the cars would be running in two
hours At midnight there are no sign of
cars, and it is understood the secret meet
ing which is trying to sole the muddle is
still in session.

Dodge City, Kansas, Aug. 26.-At the

democracy.

The street car strike has again COM
menced in New York and where the
end will be no man can predict. The
Third avenue line managers recently
achieved victory over the strikers
and Its affairs were supposed to be fin
nally settled. But with the Knights
of Labor to encourage and protect the
strikers have still harbored malic e
toward the Third avenue men and
now that a strike has been Inaugural
ted on the Broadway line that malice
has found vent and the Third avenue
is having an equally hard time. There
can be no question but that in many
instances in the past street car en-
ployes were lily paid for their services
but at present the average wages are
equal to those paid in other branches
of labor and the real cause for so many
strikes is not because the men them
selves are so dissatisfied but because
