CNE SIDED CONCERN.

The Worlds fair people are having
lots OF trouble. They have been very |
confident that they had the United |
States treasury behind them, and that
there need be no limit to expense.
There seemed to them no possible
doubt that whenever they could find II
place to put more money all they
would have to do would be to call for
it, And so they have been TO congress
asking for s ,O0O,O00. just why they
should ask congress for this amount
does not appear clearly II they
assume that the government by that
act becomes in honor bound 10 foot
the bile, why put this sum at five
millions? 1t Is we'll known this Is
not enough. This Worlds fair has
the most capucious nav that ever
opened, and five millions won't begin
to ii it.
Then why should they ask for no.
00J, 900 special souvenirs, silver half
dollars? II there is anything Benja-
min Harrison and the plutocrats have

Chicago Tribune has been ablo to i'm

destructive to American enterprise 1t

silver dollar But how they all do
cry for IT now. That souvenir They
ali want 1000 Coz OF them TO p 81 of
on tho unsuspecting farmers who are
going to attend the fair and occupy
back seats The fool farmer won't
know the difference between IL 3j'cent
half dollar and honest money. The
rnscals thought this silver racket
would be Just the scheme 10 work on
congress and the people at this time.
After these plutocrats Of the World S
fair we're put on record that silver Ia
good enough for Chicago, congress
refused to give 1t to them.
There is no politics in tho Worlds
fair. That Is, there wont be 80 long
rs the thieves do not fall out among
themse ve. The plans were nicely
laid. On course there was no politics
outside the republican and democratic
parties, and so just to keep politics
out they tried to take all the thieving
politicians OF the two old parties in
side the deal. Big rs the World y
fair is it wasn't big enough to pro-
vide for them all. Big as Is Chicrgo
there were more hogs than swIll. Big
as Is the "rookery," all the foul birds
of prey conld not find satisfactory
perches. Fifteen million dollars have
been 'blown in," and still, like the
daughter OF the horse lecch, the cry
is for more. And II they ont got it
then the Worlds fair iG 20 ng INTO
politics. Chicago tells the democrats
that Illinois is for sale for $,0JO,OLO.
II you vote uj that amount OF tho
peoples money the state will be de-
livered to Grover Tut il you don't
Harrison Gun have It, Tho principal
trade OF Chicago is to deal In futures
and sell what she doesn't own. and 1t
is n fitting climax to now offer the
electoral vote OF The great state OF
illinois for l0,000,OJO pieces Of de-
based silver.
The democrats Of the South are said
to have been greatly influenced In
their votes by the united opposition
OF tho Alliance farmers. They say
these organized farmers will take
their scalps IL they vote the approprl-
alton. Things must have got TO a
pretty pass when congressman asks
a farmer how he shalt vote. But
possibly he does not interpre the Al
LAME farmer correctly. Tho Alliance
IL not trying TO prevent congress vot-
ing this money TO the fair IL wants
TO h ave the Sub-treSsury plan cOnsid-
cred. and that 10 what scare S the con-
gresham.
The Chicago Tribune Inns at list
discovered that the farmer has been
considered. and has IN appropriate
pla in the worlds fair IL Is In tho
live stock exhibit. We beg to call
the Tribune's attention to the fact
that this department Is already over
crowded. The ht, sleek, stall-ied
stock from the public crib OF every
state In the union have already filed
every place. There has been no room
for the real representatives OF labor
in the management or control OF the
Worlds fair! This has not been from
chance. Il has been OF deliberate
purpose and studied contempt. Or
va n zed capital has the control Of
every department and organized labor
has been shut out and spit upon.
