cIal. In the journal, United Labor, to
be issued Saturday, Mr.. Powderly
speaking on "The Special Call" will
say: "The rich need education, middle
class need it and the poor require it, SO
that all may know that this nation was
not built up by any one class; that it is
not depending on one class and that il
will not be ruled by a class. The peo
pie must be taught what their pOlitica
rights are. They must be taught that
bOOdiers and brlbeTS are traitors. They
must be taught to watch the politician
alter his election as before it. They
nuSl be taught that the lands of thu
uation belong to the people of the ma
Jlon, and uot to thieves who were smar
cnOngh to steal them. They must bt
taught that the rule of corporations
should come beneath the rule of tht
people"
