the creating of any such district.

receive no good from such a change
but on the other hand, we a see

The Great Trial Closed .

At last the long agony is over, the jury
has rendered its verdict, and death by
hanging is the doom of seven of the I'M
prlsoned Socialists. A motion for new
trial will be heard and argued at the
September term of Judge Gary's court,
and if this motion is denied then the de-
fense has declared it's intention of carry
ing the case to the supreme court of the
United States.
And now that our position has been so
well defined in previous numbers of Lu.

conflict between labor and law-en
trenched capital, we think we can well
afford to speak plainly on the question

Briefly as possible then we ask, what
have these seven men DONE that they
should be strung NJ by the neck be-

or have they assisted as principals il

Plumbers Locked Out.

New YORK, Sept 2.-The union
plumbers in eleven shops were locked
out by their employers this morning
and notices to the hands were posted up
in the shops to-day requiring the men
to work under tie rules of the Master
Plumbers association instead ofthose of
the union, especially as to the number
of apprentices employed in each shop
There are l 800 journeymen plumbers in
the city and 900 licensed plumbers.
At meeting of the master plumbers
10 day, it was resolved, if the journey
men plumbers demand for control of the
apprentices is not withdrawn by to-mor
row evening, to declare a general lock
out. At the meeting reports were pre-.
sented showing that in one-half of the
shols the men are working under asso

men are working Professionally until
action is taken by the union.

of M. Godin's statement of the course of

That fact is that various latter day labor

Death to the Republican Party.

Editor Labor Enquirer.
Please publish the following:
FELLOW CITIZENS; We have now a
glorious opportunity to destroy the re-
publican party. Pennsylvania is one of
the strongholds of republicanism. If
we will elect the democratic labor ticket
by respectable vote, We will infict a
wound upon tie republican party from
which it will never recover. Let us then
kill the republican party. 1t deserves
death for many reasons. 1t has made
the poor white man in this country al
most as great slave to the rich man as
re is in Europe.
Under republican rule the wealth of
this country has become terribly une-
qually distributed. Workingmen are
compelled to work at starvation rates,
and with their wives and little ones will
suffer greatly of cold and hunger this
winter, while millionai res abound all
over the land. They live in palaces and
are surrounded by every luxury. They
dress their servants (their fellow citi-
zens) in liveries emblematic of slavery,
in order to crafty their contemplate
vanity. Many of them disdain their
native land and 60 to Europe to waste
the money which they have ground out
of the poor men, women and children of
this country.
Under republican rule, railroads and
other corporations have become so pow
erful as to be able to buy up and control
the differ ent legislatures, to say nothing
of congress.
Under republican rule, rich men and
corporations have got complete control
of the United States senate. Some oi
these honorable senators have shame
lessly purchased their seats.
In 1884 the republicans nominated for
president a cunning millionaire politi.
clan, whose record was 30 bad that the
most nodorable men of his own party
could not support him. If he had been
elected he would have been the mere
tool of rich men and powerful corpora
tlons. This same cunning millionaire
politician the wealthy republicans pro
pose to renominate, and they will spend
millions of their stolen wealth to make
him the president of this nation Lei
us save our country from this dire dis
grace.
Let US then kill the republican party
now that we have such good chance to
. do 80. We will then be able to control
the democratic party and manage this
government-not in the interest of rich
men and corporations, but for the great
est good of the greatest number.

The Social Question.

In calculable as are the social questions
before the public, it ought not to be over
looked that the causes of the popular
! discomfort among wage-workers are not
confined to this country; they are gen.
eral, not specific. All over the civilized
world the same causes are at work and
they denote political and social changes
greater than any that were effected by
the great French Revolution, the Revo.
luton of the American colo lies ITO years
ago, or any OF her Revolution of which
history has left any trace. 1t is all nom
sense to blame "agitators" for making
Revolutions. 1t is nearer the truth to
say that they are made by purbllnd per-
sons and classes, who, unable to con-
ceive of a newer and higher social
order. dam up the stream of reform,
until the pent-up waters, by their sheer
weight, sweep all barriers before them.
The present citation all over the CIV
ilized world is not question of repub-
licsm versus monarchy, or aristocracy
versus democracy it is one of idleness
versus industry whether the legitimate
earnings of labor and capital shall be
swallowed up in the charges of ground
rent. Labor and capital must both be
free. There is no quarrel between them.
The quarrel is between monopolies and
labor. and the very worst monopoly
the one which makes other monopolies
possible, is the monopoly of land This
must be stopped If this republic is to be
perpetuated. The question before all
civilized counties is one of peaceful
evolution or bloody Revolution, all
thinking people are a unit upon that
point. Which it is to be must be
answered by the whole people, not by
any class. The powers that be ought to
initiate social and political changes that
would render all appeals to passion una
vailing, instead of trying to coerce those
who feel there shou Id be higher social
state, and are, however, ignorantly try
ing to arouse public thought about these
questions.
The appointment in this country of
senate commission to investigate the re-
lations between capital and labor is an
eloquent acknowledgement of the fact
that there is something radically wrong
in the present system. But we must
not look for any reform from that body
ofimbeciles, they have proved their in
capacity to grapple with the subject
congress is in the same boat. All they
are therfor. except in a few honorable
exceptions, is to bleed the public treas
ury. The past term proves this in both
houses theV quarreled over the spoils
like so many pickpockets. without anv
resemblance of shame.-Milwaukee
