for men will not be turned out of work on the
eve of winter, and be told st she same time that
their revenue is cut off, that the price of food
has gone up. Human nature will not and
everything, and It should not be asked to. This
is good season TO hun bea-s. They are too
plenty and have invaded the haunis Of civilt-
zstion. We must get rid Of them. 1t Will not

we can pus an eternal boy colt on the man who

Issue"
Mr.. Powderly's talk Ct revolution"
and killing spectators Is worse than bosh
-it Is criminal. For twenty-fv years
the vote and voice Ct Mr.. Powderly has
been in favor CT : tariff policy this. las
tended and will always tend TO make the
rich richer and the poor poorer. To the
tIlent Of his vote and voice, Mr.. Powder
ly is IS much responsible for the present
unsatisfactory condition of farmers sa6
laborers as sny other protectionlss. TIE
remedy for disease cannot be applied
until the cause is found. Men who pay
too much for qulnine, pluwe, blank
ets and jute bsgging know
that the tarif is the cause; they have
seen the price Of q1lnlne has been low
cred by the abolition ofthe tariff On that
article, and without hurt to lsborer or
manufacturer; and they know that the
same result would follow further tariff
reduction and reform. The tariff tax
payer is not tool even if Mr.. PoWderly
is blind to his responsibility as pro-
tectioDist for the condition Of the tariff
tax payer.
Mr. Powder!y ought to know that trusts |
are in violation CT law-of law as old ss I
the Laws formulation, and that law Off
GERS, not law, is responsible for the pres
en-: unpublished violation of "conspirs- !
tors" Mr.. Powderiy, being protec-
ZIONIST, ignores the fact that the ouly
legal movements sgsInst ".rusts" have
been made In Democratic states by
Democratic Officials. The R publican
p.rty, being for protection rs Mr.. Pow
derby is, talk CT opposition to trusts in
their platforms bat through their sun
crowned king" proclaim trusts to be pFi-
vate sr.irs with which Mr.. Cleveland or
any Democratic attorney general has
naught to do. Mr. Blaine is consistent
protecdonist; Mr.. Powderly is blind
to the effect Of his own
high tariff policy. The same
ISSUE Of The GAZETTE tina. printed the
letter Of Mr.. Powderly with Its intimation
Of revolution" and "hunting bears" to
put an "eternal' boycott on them; also
