Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1892-12-01

LABOR organizations have kept
mechanics wages up to their pres
ent standard. Tariff has nothing
to do with wages. There is not
word nor clause in the law which
gives the least protection to the me-
chanic. The protection is all for
the man with thousands, and the
wage laborer must take what the
employer offers, or strike, and
strange it is that, although we are
told daily that there is plenty of
work for all, the moment there is a
strike, hundreds and thousands of
idle men apply for the situations
made vacant by the strikers. The
blindest ought to see this. There
is free trade in labor, and Europe is
furnishing the supply.

WHEN the present generation of
middle-aged men were youths, Kan
sans revolted against the slave pow
err, which has it's counterpart in the
money power. The demands of the
slave power had become extremely
irksome. The liberty-loving people
of Kansas would not, and could not,
longer brook it's intolerable inso-
lence. Resistance to it's aggressions
by words was soon followed with
shot, and then came the first battles
of the great rebellion. Kansans
were the first to meet that power on
the field of battle. They have never
ceased to demand what, in equity,
belongs to them. and when the old
despot under another name-Money
Power-sought to bind them and
their children, they again revolted.
They were the first to say to the
slave power, "Thus far shalt thou
go, and no farther" and they have
been true to their record in being
the first to say to this new slave
power, "Stay thy hand" Thirty
five years ago, Kansas was derisive-
ly referred to as bleeding Kansas"
and now a revolt from oppression by
a majt rity of her citizens brings the
taunt, Calamity howler," from men
who have no higher aspirations than
to live off the misfortunes of others.
Every vile epithet IS applied to those
who step to the front and take the
lead in reforms, as individuals, and
states must suffer in like manner
from the tongues of the political
hoodlums of the nations. But, rev.
olutions never turn backward.

THE NEXT QUESTION.

Mr.. Clarkson, who once undertook
to bride St. John, says the question
that will be before the people four
years hence is the labor question. Mr..
Clarkson is right, but probably the la
Dor question involves far more than
such a politician as Mr.. Clarkson
has ever dreamed Of Nothing
short of exact justice to laborers
will ever settle the labor question;
and that Wall street and the gigan-
tic corporations will concede justice
without being forced to no one be-
lieves who is at all cognizant with
the spirit of plutocracy.
Persistent effort wins in a good
cause, and that the cause of labor is
a good cause no one doubts who is
capable of Distinguishing right from
wrong-justice from injustice.
Republican and Democratic poll
~ticians have, for a long period of
years, declared that tariff was the
issue. That Issue is now settled,
and any effort to revive tariff issues
cannot succeed so to again over
shadow the labor question. The
labor question has too long been
concealed in the dust and smoke of
tariff rubbish. Tariff ought never
to nave been an issue in point of i'm
portance, and politicians made it all
it was or could be, and they made
what it can never be again. Pro-
lection is dead beyond resurrection,
and labor issues forge to the front
with the people we'll in line and de-
termined to win. Hot times are
ahead of US, with the possible wiping
out of another grand old party" be-
fore the labor question is settled in
favor of the working people. Grid
ON your armor for the battle.

THANKSGIVING.

We have not presented our read
ers with the usual Thanksgiving
story, and we have no apology to
offer. We have no scraps, or cast
off clothes above our necessities, to
give to some one poorer than our
selves in order to make them happy
for one day. We don't believe in
crowding our Thanksgiving for a
whole year all into one day, and
eating it out in roast turkey, but we
have something to be thankful for
every day in the year. Air and
water are still plentiful and there is
no corner on sunlight and heat
We still have God in the song of
the birds, and behold His beauty in
the wondrous lovliness of the flow
ers.
We have hoped and worked for a
condition of things that would make
life for all of poor, weak, fallen hu-
manity one lifelong Thanksgiving,
and until we see that day dawn, we
will not feel inclined to furnish our
readers any stereotyped story of
how generous some rich person has
been furnishing some poor family
with square meal-the first and
the last one of the year In fact, we
do not believe that there ought to be
any poor people, in the sense that
any one suffers with the pangs Of
hunger, and we do not believe that
any thanks can be perfect until the
hungry thousands of innocent chill
dren are fully fed; until the thous-
ands of WORKOUT, aged people are
comfortably housed; until the thous-
ands of delicate working women are
paid living wages for their services;
and until every idle healthy man is
fully employed; until mankind sings
as the birds sing.

r. v. POWDERLY.

Some time since the Kansas City
Star made to the world the start.
ling announcement that Mr.. Pow
derby had degenerated from a great
man to demagogue, and that the
laboring classes would now desert
Mr.. Powderly, and leave him high
and dry on the bank Of the great la
Dor stream.
Mr.. Powderly's degeneracy lay in
his having a political preference,
and in having expressed tnat prefer
ence. Mr.. Powderly announced in
a circular letter that he believed
that the Peoples party was the only
party friendly to the laboring class
es, and it was this announcement
that proclaimed Mr.. Powderly's
wonderful dcgeneracy.
If Mr.. Powderly had preferred the
Democratic party, and had so an
nounced, then he would not have
degenerated, but on the contrary,
would have risen to the height OF
Grover Cleveland or Tammany Hall
greatness. If Mr.. Powderly had cv-
er come out for the Republican par
ty, his degeneracy would not have
been 50 marked, and he would still
have retained small proportion of
manhood, and would not have been
more than half a demagOgue.
Then the Star, not content with
proclaiming Mr.. Powderly's degen-
degeneracy, decided to beat him for
reelected to the Office of grand
master workman, but in this the
Star utterly failed. Mr.. Powderly
is reelected without opposition
Except from the Starr, and still
lives, the greatest labor leader in the
United States of America.
