Workmen's advocate. (New Haven, Conn.) 1883-1891, 1890-03-01

Mayor Peck in his message to the
Common Council let loose the following
patriotic kite ''If our forefathers could
come among us and view our luxurious
life, as contrasted with theirs, we should
hear them murmur and complain that
they were born too SOON" No doubt they
would murmur and their murmurs would
rise to a storm of contempt if they saw
the luxurious life of Mayor Peck and his
class and then go through Oak, East
streets etc, and view the homes and
lives of their wage-slaves, They would
murmur if they could read in our
grand tax list how all this boosted wealth
is owned by scarcely ten per cent. of
the citizens, while the great bulk of the
other citizens have scarcely enough to
keep them from starvation year in and
year out in spite of dilligent toll. No
doubt these forefathers would shake
their heads and murmur This is not
the commonwealth we dreamed of, but
glossy. glittering slavery and we are
glad we did not live to see such a hor-
rible outgrowth of a noble ideal state"

DR.. C. A. Linsley, Secretary of the

epidemic which has afflicted Connecticut
in many years. The mortality for jan
