way 1t should be pointed out quickly
for men will not be turnei out of work on the
eve # winter, and be told ct he same lime that

has gone up. Human nature will not and
every Thing, and /. should not be agke / TO This

wozkingmen OF The United ates should speak
out IN thunder tones to them on this great
Issue"
Mr.. Powderly's talk Of revolution"
sud killing spectators is worse than bosh
1T is criminal. For twenty-five years
the vote snd voice of Mr.. PoHdeTly has
been in favor Ct a tariff policy that hss
tended and will always tend to make the
rich richer snd the poor poorer. To the
exlen: Of bis vote and voice, Mr., Powder
ly is as much responsible fer the present
unsatisfactory cord!tion of :slmerg ans
laborers IS any other protect,onis.. Tie
remedy for disease caunot be spilled
uItiI the cause is found. Men who pay
too much for quinine, ploWs, blank
cts and iute bsggirg know
tbs. the tariff is the causei they have
seen the price of q1!niue has beea lew
cred By the abolition oithe tariff or that
article, snd without hurt 70 laborer Cor
manufacturer; Snd they know that the
same result would follow further tariff
reduction snd reform. The tsrif tax
payer is not fool even il Mr.. PowderlY
is blind to his responsibility es q pro
tectionist fcT the condition Of the tariff
tax payer.
M Po1teriy oughtto know that trusts
sre in violotion Of laH-of lGW IS CID as
the lsw's formulation, sud that law eff
ceTs, not law, Is responsible for the pres
ent unpublished violation of "conspirs-
tors" Mr.. Powderly, being protec-
ZIONIST, ignores the fact that the only
legal movements against "trusts" ha7e
been made in Democratic states by
Democratic sffl;isls. The R publican
psrty, beirg FIR protection as Mr.. Pow
derry IL, talk CT opposition to trusts ia
their platforms oue through their "un-
crowned king" proclaim trusts TO be pri-
vate sffiirs with which Mr.. Cleveland or
any Democratic encouragement has
naught to 90. Mr.. Blaine is consistent |
protec ZIONIST; Mr.. Powderly Is blind !
TO the efact CT his own |
high tariff policy. The same
