some of our local papers to do this, but
they decline. We feel sure that an APP
peal TO the worklngman through the
columns of the labor papers will bring
us help. That our cause is just, and that
our demands are insufficient, no one
denies. There are nearly 5000 people
out on strike, Many of them are women,
and unfortunately most of them are
unorganized. The few that belong to
the union have done their best to help
the others. Many have contributed their
entire strike benefit to those in need.
Others have given their benefit to pay
the initiation fees of many Of the strik-
ers Win or lose this strike will be the
means of organizing the town; not the
cigar industry alone but all of her
trades having awakened to the necessi-
ty of organization. The cause Of the
strike was a reduction of wages which
took place year and a half ago. At the
time an attempt was made to organize
the workmen but the wages were SO
small they could not pay dues, and the
attempt was but an indifferent success.
a restoration of the Old prices was
asked and refused and on June 23rd the
entire force of bunchmakers and rollers
employed in the city went out on
strike.
Never has there been btterer fight
The pickets watching the shops have
been arrested and sentenced to hun
dred days in Jail. Their only proven
offence was that they walked up and
down on the streets. So much for free
dom for the working man in our boas.
ted free America a suit for conspiracy
has been brought against those most
active in the affair, and to cap the
climax of injustices which even the
courts and judges have been accessory
to, an injunction has been secured. This
restraints us from paying out money to
the needy, from picketing the shops,
from persuading the weak ones to stay
out. and even from speaking encourag
ingly in our hall or through the papers.
We have of course been obliged to
violate the injunction, and are liable at
any time to find ourselves in prison for
contempt of court. The penalty for
violating supreme court injunction is
80 days imprisonment and $4,000 fine.
All efforts to defeat us have failed. Our
people are a unit and if we can raise
sufficient money to keep us from starry
ing we will win a victory. Our defeat
means horrible degradation next win
ter for us, still further reduction of
wages: and it also means serious injury
to cigarmakers throughout the country.
TO win means to make Binghamton a
thoroughly organized town and to ma
terially help the cause of labor. An
injury to one is an injury to all. Help
us and you help the cause of labor.

MRS. CUNNING, of the Boston and

of natural science to Madame Ende's
German & French School for young
ladies at Ravenswood, Chicago. The
school offers no religious or theological
teaching or bias but seeks to give a
moral and intellectual character to the
students. In the absence of theological
bias, the school stands alone among
those open to young ladies. Socialists
looking tor boarding school for daugh-
tiers should write to Madame Ende for her
prospectus. The school year will soon

the following resolutions, which were
unanimously adopted;
HeSOired. That it is the duty OF every
foreign.horn Socialist living in the
United States to become a citizen thereof
and qualify as a voter without delay,
and this Convention appeals earnestly
to every Section and member of the
Socialist Labor Party to see that this
duty is done.
To express our sympathy for the New
York Central strikers, the same Comrade
offered the following resolution, which
was also unanimously adopted:
ReSOired That the Socialists Of Mas
sachusets, in State Convention assem-
bled, condemn the brutal treatment of
the workingmen in New York on the
part of the New York Central Railroad,
and declare that the cause Of labor is
the cause of Socialism and that it bears
witness to the historic warfare between
Labor and Capital, which will only be
brought to an end when the whole of

HOW PROSPEROUS WE ARE.

A Nebraska farmer recently loaded
up his three teams, one with corn, one
with oats, and one with potatoes Be
hind one team he hitched fat steer,
and behind another he hitched fat
COW. With this outfit he started to
his "home market, where he sold the
products of his farm. The fat steer
bought him a suit of ordinary cloth
ing; the fat COW bought him a com
mon overcoat; the load of potatoes
bought him a hat and pair Of gloves;
the load of oats bought him pair of
boots and a pair of socks, and the
load of corn bought him a suit of un-
derclothing. He went home whoOping
for Harrison, protection, and the home

The above is fair estimate of the
cost of raising an acre of corn in Cass

The reform press is ignored and

to know what terrible power the

THE OLD HEN.
The old money hen sets on monopoly
eggs and is constantly hatching out
trusts, combines and corporations. The
business of our so-called statesmen seems

of the brood to where it roosts and robs,

HELLIsH SCHEMES.
Our national banks were instituted
by the influence of men making the
most plausible pretenses of benefit to

monopoly, are conspiracy against pro

human liberty, a plot to make devils
grin CHASTITY grin and angels weep

1t will be seen that the freight on
above car of corn amounts to a little

gross share the railroad company gets.
Its net share is about that amount, or
A. cents per bushel. Now, let us see
how much the farmer gets out Of it,.
This corn was raised in Cass County
and it is fair to suppose that the land
it was raised on was worth $50 per acre.
1t was raised in good corn year, and
it is fair to suppose the yiell was about
so bushels per acre. The account then
would stand thus:
