An AtrOCiOus Sentiment.

Six years ago, in a conversation
with Hon. Orange Noble, Congress
man William l.. Scott, the noted
Democratic free trader, in speaking
of the labor troubles OF that time,
said:
ave can never control the work
ingman until he eats up to-day
what he earns tomorrow"
Scott carries this strocious idea
into practical effect in his coal
mines. He pays lower wages than
anybody else, and, so far as he can
do so, keeps them from earning
enough to lay by for a rainy day.
No wonder he is free trader.
That policy will cut wages down,
glut the labor market with unem-
ployed men, and tend to reduce
our laboring population to the condi'
ton OF serfs. Scott is a leader in
national Democratic politics, and
IS devoting himself, heart and soul,
to the endeavor TO hoodwink the
people into voting for Cleveland
and his free trade ideas, in the
hope that through the forcing of a
tree trade policy upon the country
he will realize his remark OF six
years ago, and be able to "controa
the workingmanS by making it a
necessity for him "to eat up to-day
what he earns tomorrow"
