a well known timber dealer from
Gilmer county played neat trick
the other day on some unsuspectlng
furniture men in Cincinnati. bv
which he scooped over hundred
dollars without much trouble.
Walnut timber is scarce, and the
Gilmer county timber king had
splendid large walnut tree on his
farm, which he conclude to cut down
and sell. He fellcd his tree, and
sold it on the ground to a buyer for
an eastern veneer works for neat
some. Before he shipped the fine
piece of valuable timber, however,
the wiley Gilmer county timber king
carefully skinned She bark off Of the
walnut log and laid it by for future
use.
The lar seeing timber king then
cut down a large black oak tree,
likewise skinned it, and proceeded
to tack on to the oak log the bark
from the walnut log. lie did this
job so neatly and deity that the
oak log looked and acted just like a
genuine walnut log. This he floated
to Cincinnati, along with some
other timber, and successfully
negotiated it as piece of walnut
timber. The log was fifty three
feet long aud he received s10G for
it, The Cincinnati people have
discovered the imposition and are
after the Gilmer county timber
king.

ST. LOUIS, SEPT. Sd.

National Organization Inaug-
urated.
A call has been issued for a conven-
ton of delegates for all the labor and
reform associations of the United
States to meet at St. Louis on Sept.
Sd, to organize the new Independent
party on a national basis. Delegates
to this convention should be selected
by the State Alliance at the special
meeting July 18th.
The movement is gathering force
with terrific rapidity. The tocsin has
sounded-the slogan from the high
lands is rolling through the valleys.
Up, Freemen, up for your country's
redemption.

not bring up the Hall blunder ire
questing Mr.. Donnelly not to come
to the 5th Dist. Convention) at the
meeting on the 16th-we address
ourselves to the writer's from Yellow
Medicine and Lincoln Counties. 1t
was an error-a cumberland the
best way is to overlook them. Mr..
Donnelly will do so. II brought up
on the 10th it will create a great
disturbance. There is no intention
of bringing Mr.. Hall forward as a
candidate. His own county would
decline doing so. This is said not to
misuse Mr.. Hall, but because of the
policy of presenting these things in
the past. The whole affair must be
overlooked entirely.

Mathew Arnold said of Chicago

Mathew Arnold said of Chicago
that lit was too beast!y prosper
Ous." The same is true of many gi-
gantic monopolies of the country.
They ought to be made to dis
gorge, or at least be prevented from
rolling up their immense piles OF
gains from the tolls of the laboring
men. The phrase Gland Sharks"
has become current, and refers to
real estate spectators who gobble
up land and natural resources, solely
to bleed somebody to the tune of
handsome pile" before they will let
go Of it again.
Shortly after the war Abraham
Lincoln said:
81 see in the near feature crisis
arising that unneryes me and causes
me to tremble for the safety of my
country. By a result of the war, cor
pOrations have been enthrOned, and
an era of corruption in high places
will follow and the money power of
the country will endeavor to pro-
long it's reign by working upon the
prejudices of the people until all
wealth is aggregated in few hands
and the Republic is destroyed. | feel,
at this point, more anxiety for the
safety OF my country than ever be-
fore, even in the midst of war"
Lincoln was seer. His words are
fast finding fulfllment. The newt
able trend OF events and monopo-
listic schemes is toward the very
'crisis" which he fOresaw.
When all work together for the
good of all, as nationalism advo-
Gates, individual money power, and
monopolies, will be impossible.
Under the law of competition the
amassing OF enormous fortunes is in
evitable, such is the mad, insane
rush after the "A]mighty dollar"
The naturalization of our indus
tries would give every man a chance
to exercise his talents to his own,
and therefore society's best good, and
in accord with his tastes and aspira-
lions. The present Industrial sys-
tenn does not admit of this in multi
tudes OF cases.
1t is deplorable that man who
wants work cannot get it, and more
deplorable still that he cannot be
permitted to do what he knows and
can show he is most fitted to do,
which occupation would make him
most useful to his age and race. In
stead of this he must do what offers ;
he must work in the treadmill of un-
congenial and unremunerative toll
knowing that if he stops the mill will
crush him.
! We are compelled to defer the
balance of this address until next
week.
