the country without the assistance
of those who will be ruined by Its
operations
Millions of workers will vote the
Democratic ticket unmindful OF the
fact that they are dissecting their
energies to destroy themselves.
Everybody has heard of Brick
Pomeroy, whose position as
"Democrat OF Democrats made
him famous the country over.
Brick is still Democrat, bat he
is not Cleveland Democrat. Re-
Gently he has been hunting up
Cleveland's official antagonism to
labor and gives the result in his
paper Pomeroy's Advanced Thought.
The record is SO pertinent and
interesting that we give 1t here
with:
"The people are great fellows.
They are not always in lire with
coyersative nffice-holders, or with
those who are SO well off financially
that they can escape taxation,
spend their Winters i'm ball rooms,
their Summers in foreign watering
places, and their genius in laying
the foundations for future legisla-
ton and monopolists.
"Instance the following evidences
OF the difference OF opinion between
Grover Cleveland while he was
Governor OF New York and the
people WI O do the voting.
"He vetoed the bill prohibiting
the employ ment of children under
IA years of age in factories, holding
the idea that a PARENTS master OF
his children from birth to legal age,
and can hire them out to any SER
vice the parent is willing they
should engage in. The bill he We
toe 1 has become law, as demant-
ed by the people.

street car employees, but the people
OF the State have established that

ale vetoed the bill to compel
elevated railroads to reduce their
fare from ten cents 10 Eve, but the
people. who were not in sympathy
with monopolists, nor yet opposed
to progression, have made the bill a
law.
.He signed bill to tax engineers
go wear, or to be denied tue right
to follow their vocation. AS Wen
tax every working man or woman
for working to support a family
and if a tax OF 81 could be laid one
of 5000 would follow. This bill has
since been knocked to smithereens
and is no more a law.
"He vetoed the printers bill re-
curing all State work to be done
BY union printers, but the people
have established that as a law.
..He signed the bill to reduce the
fees of New York harbor pilots and
that bill has been repealed.
.He vetoed the bill to prevent
cigar makers making cigars at theiI
homes. That bill has become
law.

which is now made by machinery. Bats
are shipped to this city by the carload
from Michigan and West Virginia, and
it is estimated that 80, 900 cords OF ash
and willow wood were thus used last
winter for this summers trade. The
bulk OF the bats are used by amateur
players, Of course.
Willow is the fayorite material for the
popular bat, as its lightness is combined
with sufficient amount of strcnth for
youthful players, and West Virginia
turns out the best grade of this variety.
The superior toughuess of ash makes it
indispensable for the great strain which a
professional player subjects it TO. aud
