and labor, OF the twenty AN uIeu
lockouts in our industrial -4Oli IS in
the past six years alone; Of Il N. dus-
trial depressions, the bui'.ng great
wealth by fayoritism, which. in o.d' % re-
tain its privileges, was ever reaa '' cor
rupt the ballot-box and intimidac 70 ters !;
the rapid Capitalization of man, ,urers
in few great corporations, and Il -i7 ecent
fusing into formidable trusts.
He argued ct length against liz" claim
that tariff me1e or maintained wages.
He contended Dee. with the substitution of
machinery for Lsnan labor and the perfec-
ton Of our railroad system the home-mar-
ket idea was a mere myth, and that the
competition which was promised as the con-
ditiou of temporary protection from for
eign interference was now largely neutral
lied by trusts. He discussed trusts in their
bearing on the consumer, onthe laborer and
on the people in general.
In discussing the question of rates of wa
yes. Mr.. Wilson referred to the remarks OF
Mr.. Allen, Of Massachusetts,, as to the pros
peritv of the wage-earners of Lowell. He
wanted to compare, he said, the condition
I of the Lowell operatives under the Walker
tariff and their condition under the revenue
tariff he quoted from Dickens American
/ Notes an extract highly complimentary OF
the prosperity and intelligence of the work
ingmen and women of Lowell, and to show
the reverse Of the picture he quoted an ex'
tract from Pigeons Old World Question:
and New Worlds Answers in which the
condition of Lowell operatives is drawn IL
dark color,.
In conclusion, Mr.. Wilson said: This
hight will 60 on. There will be no indus
trial peace in the country until the tax laws
are established upon basis fair to all
Applause. We will keep the country
rocking from ocean to ocean until we secure
Justice and fair dealing among all the citi
zens. You may strike down that TRIBUNE
of the people at the other end of the avenue
who. putting aside all ideas of prudence
spoke out that ringing summons that rallied
the people as nothing else ever did. Nol
may strike down the leaders Of this fight a
YOU struck them down in the last Congress
and the previous Congress. Those wh'
hold the standard may fall, but other hand
will take it up and move forward. Thu
spirit of our intelligence is behind Us. The
spirit of liberty is behind us All We cal
hope for the destiny and greatness Of chi
country urges us forward, and in the Ian
guqge Of our Speaker, Whoever may falter

served, ,hat they shall be transmitted uuim
paired TO posterity, that the country shall
not belong 20 monopolists on the one hanC
or to communists on the other but shall
be- as it was designed to be, of the people

As Mr.. Wilson concluded he was raptu
r3usly applauded by his party friends, while
many Republicans Joined in the compliment
and amid cries of Vote" "Vote," members
crowded around Sir Wilson aud warmly
congratulated him upon his speech.

GUts Of Poison.

Ii is time that respectable merchants
combined with consumers for the suppress
sion of all gift, prize and lottery schemes
I'm connection with the sale OF articles Of
merchandise. These schemes are not only
demoralizing to legitimate business and to
the morals of the community, but in the
extent i'm which they are being carried in
the sale of articles of food have become a
source of great danger to the public health.
They are. no matter in what form they ap-
pear. nothing more or less than devices to
swindle honest and unsuspecting people
Iii gratifying to learn that in some in
stances the officers of the law have taken
hold of the matter. In New York, and al
so in Chicago, parties who in this way Of
tered gifts to purchasers Of their packages
have recently been arrested upon indict-
meuts for lottery swindling The latest
candidates, both for public execration and
criminal prosecution, are the manufacturers
of the alum paking powders, who are both,
by means of gifts and lottery tickets, dis
posing of large quantities of their zorro.
siyely poisonous compounds, which are so
well known to be detrimental to health that
no housekeeeper will admit them to her
kitchen knowingly This form Of swindle
is not only peddled from house to house,
but under the promise of large profits to be
realized the manufacturers are enuenching
themselves behind the counters of many
groccrs by getting them to offer the alum
goods with the gifts or lottery tickets attach
ed, thereby shifting the liability to proSecu-
tion I'm part, upon other, and perhaps in
noceut parties. Every grocer or dealer, for
instance. who sells or offers for sale any of
the prize or lottery baking powders is a
criminal in the eye of the law, and liable,
upon conviction, to fine and imprisonment
while those who sell the gift goods are NOR
ally as responsible, for they are offering an
inducement or prize to housekeepers to use
food that contains a corrosive poison
This is q predicament in which it is
no, possible our grocers will care 20
place themselves when they come to think
seriously of the matter
1t must be borne in mind that every one
of these gift OF prize baking powders are
alum baking powders These powders cost
less than four cents a pound to produce
the gift or prize costs but a few cents more.
They are sold at the price of frst-class
baking powder, so that the swindle, in
commercial sense, Is enormous. But the
chief iniquity of the business consists in
selling, as presumably wholesome, an arti- /
Gle of positively injurious character, and |.
by means of gifts or brides inducing ser
wants or unsuspecting housekeepers to pur-
chase and use it in our daily food
There should be some prompt method of
reaching these dangerous practices and
furnishing the parties engaged in their pro-
motion. II the present laws are not ample,
we commend the matter to the consideration
of our State Board of Health for recon-
of such additional legislation as
shall be effective for the protection of the
public
