Whereas, The president, secretary of
the treasury, the American Bankers
association and the leading newspapers

conspiracy to increaae the value and
purchasing power of bonded debts and
fixed incomes, through the depreciation
of general prices, by the decentralization
of silver. or the suspension of its coinage
and thu retirement of 81 and So legal
tender notes, to the great loss and. in
convenience of labor and the useful,
producing classes. =,
Therefore, We, the undersigned citi-
zens and legal voters of the United
States, petition your honorable bodies as
follows:
First--We demand that the coinage OF
silver be placed on an equality with the
coinage of gold.
Second-We demand that the coin GER
tifcate system be continued, and so
modified as to authorize their issue in
denominations of 81, So and S. and up
wards, and that they be made lawful
money and legal tender in payment of
al! debts, public and private, hereafter
contracted within the United States.
Third-We demand the reissue of the
81 and So legal tender notes. and that
their volume be regulated so as to meet
the public needs. 4
Fourth-We demand that the public
debt be liquidated as rapidly as the rev.
enues of the government will permit to
the end that no useless, unnecessary, or
idle surplus may remain boarded in the
national trea ury.
These just measures we demand in the
interest of labor, legitimate enterprise
and the crippled industries of an over
taxed and debt -burdened people.

There can be little doubt that the wars
of past ages were waged by the majority
of the combatants with the object Of
direct plunder, by the minority for in
direct plunder as well.

The wage workers, Demands

We are beggars. We do not ask char
ity of our employers. We do, indeed,
ask that they treat us as men and
women, not as "hands," as flesh and
blood, not as bits of machinery, imple-
ments of toll, or commodity to be
hired in the cheapest market. We ex-
pect them to remember that we are not
labor, but laborers. But we ask no
charity. We neither grumble when
they do not build libraries and reading
rooms and coffee rooms for US, nor are
we satisfied when then do. We resent
the notion that we are paupers, whose
claims are t! e generosity Of the more
fortunate. All we ask of society is a
chance to take care of ourselves; and
chat we ask, not as an act Of charity, but
as all act of justice. In well organic d
society there should be work for every
one, and fair remuneration for ev;ry
worker; with a tire :dmlll for the idle, a
goad for the vicious, a hospital for the
sick. We can paw our own Tay if we
have a chance. The c.lance we want ;
and no charity. large or little can serve
instead of it. 81. j. T.
We are not RevolutIonists We do
believe that properly is theft" We do
not follow the red flag or the black flag.
We do not wa 1t tie rich ito divide"
We resent the use ofdynamite. Under
great provocation some of us have some
times resorted to violence; we pardon
such excesses, but We do not justify
them. Every such excess does US both
a wrong and an injury. Herr Most and
Mr.. Parsons are not our prophets, and
have no right to speak forus. We have
said this with tiresome reiteration in our
trades meetings; and we wax indignant
when the constantly disproved charge
is preferred. We are neither paupers
nor robbers. We do mot wish to live
either by charity or violence.-Dr. Ly-
man Abbott.

The enemy l5 still too powerful to let the
truth come forth. Those who know
the record completely are still in
the dungeons. Those who know but
little, whether they were eye-wlt-
nesses or got the information at second
hand, like myself, what can they write
except their own feelings in the matter ?
For me even the mere transcriblng of
my feelings is too heavy task.
The names of the heroes are holier
to me than those of the Seraphims and
Gabriels were 20 nv ancestors. Their
brave defense of Liberty in the face of q
sure death for such action was by no
means desire of victory there and then.
The enemy was too strong and SO near
that such thought could not be enter
tanned for a moment. Yet they fought
they fought for the Future! They de-
cided, once and forever. to lay the foun-
dation of The new structure for Human
ity, and at the cost of life they laid its
first stones. They died with these
words falling from their lips: give la

thus if they had such chance2 The
Communists were too honest to touch
the vanities contained in the banks.
They were guided by the principles of
Socialism and not greedy and blood
thirsty capitalism. And the edict of
Rothchilds requested that Socialism be

To mention one and omit another would
be almost an insult to the one named.

olent eruptions of force of the past as
Revolutionary force.
What age ever witnessed such assaults
made on the grim old thralldom of GUS
tom as are going on now3
The backbone Of old reaction, the
small farmer, the defender OF the last
bitches of selfshness isfast disappearing.

slow evolution Of mankind through the
various phases of society hiss been the
inaptitude of the mass of the people to
live up to the cardinal idea. Take for
instance in the feudal system, if every
adherent had Loyalty contributed his full
force all disputes must hayeisoon rested
with great suzerain and what might
not happen to-day if our people would
wake up and see to it that they buy at
the cheapest and sell at the. dearest
every time. I claim that this is the
most powerful weapon that can be used
at the present time for the breaking up
of-present arrangements end yet the
most habitually neglected dne.
Are there not now forces in activity
tending to develop both the outward
conditions and the habits in the people
necessary for the life of helpful interde-
pendence aimed at by all true Socialists ?
1t seems to me that the most profitable
study at the present time is ones own
immediate surroundings, and at some
future time I hope to give ailittle sketch
to THE ENQUIRER which may suggest
what might be very interesting from
others in other localities. There is great
need for greater exchange of our obser.
