A Vote For Government Ownership and
Operation Is 3 Vote In Their Own Best
Interests.
The question as to which of the polit-
ical parties shall gain the votes of the
employees Of the great railroad corpora
lions Of the country, and especially of
this state, is just now exciting some
comment, and good many things are
being said for the purpose of influencing
this very important class of toilers in
one way and another. On the part Of
those who oppose the doctrines of the
peoples party, is brought forward the
statement that the object of our doc
trines upon that question have in view
the advancement of the interests of the
farmers only, and that our ideas of gov
eminent ownership and control of these
great thoroughfares is to build up the
agricultural Interests to the detriment
and at the cost of employees of those cor
porations, as a result of reduction of
rates which must in turn necessitate a
reduction of employees wages.
The fallacy of this position is plain,
when tits remembered that government

ALLIANCE NOTES.

New York city has now forty peo-
pies party clubs all having large mem
bership.
1T is now a crime in France for an
employer to compel an employee to with
draw from labor organization.
In Indianapolis $40 persons own
more than half the wealth Of the entire
city, while $4,000 taxpayers own the
rest.
Republicans protect labor on paper,
but they protect monopolies with bull
lets and bayonets. The latter kind pro-
,tects-from the operation of law and of
justice. The former is a sham and q
fraud Jeffersonian.
According to the last census, in
twenty of the larger cities in the coun-
try, Il, 427 women, who are working for
a living, were questioned by govern
ment agents. They represent s42 voca-
tions and their average wages were
found to be 1851 per week.

"A man coins himself into labor;
turns his day, his strength, his thought,
his affections into some product which
remains as the visible sign of his power;
and to protect that, to secure that to
him, to secure his past self to his future
self, is the object of all government.
There is no interest in any country so
imperative as that of labor. Ralph
Waldo Emerson.
The Knights of Labor have fought
convict contract labor and Pinkerton-
ism for twenty-one years in the halls of
congress and the legislatures of various
states. Few trades unions would join
them in their legislative efforts. The
fruits of these systems are now seen in
the bloodshed and carnage Of 1892. Will
the American workman ever learn to
use the Observation-Disclosures Critic.
Don't be deluded by the time-worn
chestnut that vote for Weaver and
Field is a vote thrown away. AS
neither Of the old parties stands for
anything that will benefit the common
people, vote for either Harrison or
Cleveland is a vote thrown away. When
ever you vote with gang that is only
after office and plumber, your vote is
worse than thrown away.-Iowa New
Era.
The evidences of fraud in the cleo
tons both of Alabama and Arkansas are
overwhelming. The democrats sneer-
ingly say: "What are you going to do
about it?" The republicans refuse to
publish the facts lest the people of the
north should find out how many good
and true men there are in the south.
Once this state Of affairs would have
called out all the fiery invective of
every republican paper in the land, but
to-day they are dumb. They are muz-
zled, sold out to the plutocrats.-
conformist.
Six weeks before the Buffalo strike
the New York Central road, which en-
ploys only non-union switchmen, gave
notice of an increase in the hours of
labor and a reduction in wages A
committee called upon Assistant Super
intendent Rossiter, and this is what he
said to the men who helped the COM
pany to defeat the Knights of Labor
two years ago: eff you are union men
go and get your pay and get out; if you
are not union men, and intend to act
the part Of union men, get your pay
and get out nyway."-Kansas City

Will They Be Able to Divide Labor Against Itself2

It is idle to talk of the interests of
the railways and the farmers as being
antagonistic. It is idle to talk of the
railway employees, when organizing for
their own political protection, as array
ing themselves against the agricultural
classes. They are ''arraying them
selves" only against a few pestiferous
demagogues, who are less harmful to
the farmers than they are to the rail-
way employee. These gentlemen, whom
Mr.. Steadman addresses as eye of few
socks and small understanding" 1--WE
wish he had said small undercloth-
ing'), are become burden on the pros
perity of the land, and in working to
defeat them-as the railway employees

It would also seem that under such a
system the incentive to honest and eff1-
cient work would take the place Of
much of the ''devil-may-care" methods
of the present system, for then those
enlisted in the public service would be
fairly freed from the thought that Ito
day have work, tomorrow I may have
none," and an .employe might safely
count that so long as he faithfully rem
dered services he could safely calculate
on employment. Strikes, for the rights
of employees or against reduction Of
wages, would become things of the
past, and every honest, faithful en-
ployei in such service, who is willing for
sure and fair pay to give in return his
reasonable and full energies, could safe
ly count upon permanent employment
and upon such honorable promotion as
his efforts merited.
No worthy laborer need fear a re-
duction of wages under such an ar
rangement. Fair and sure pay would
be guaranteed to every faithful en-
ploye.

1t means the overthrow of the system
by which the few magnates are enabled
to roll in luxury and ride in pomp and
splendor at the expense of honest toll
ers; it means the government meeting
and discharging one of it's most impor-
tant functions and duties to the people;
it means increased prosperity to the
producer, the mechanic, the manufact-
urer, the traveller and to the toilers OF
our country.
Can any employe object to such con.
summation as this? Come, then, men,
join your voices, your votes and your
influence with those whose purpose is
the elevation of laborers in every de-
partment Of useful industry to that
station to which, by virtue of their in
dispensable Importance to society they
are entitled.-H. A. White, in Kansas
Commoner.
The great West. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1889-18??, 1892-10-07

ownership puts the corporations as en-
ployers entirely out of the. case, and
consequently does away with their
power to reduce wages of employees al
together, leaving the question of en-
ployment and wages between the gov
eminent (the whole people) on the one
side and those seeking employment on
the other.
That the objects Of the peoples party
is to reduce the pay Of any useful labor
er in any of the avocations of beneficial
industry, needs scarcely to be denied,
for the reason that the masses compos-
ing its ranks belong to the laboring
classes of our country, and that they
should for moment desire the crystal
lization of policy into law that would
hinder or in any way cripple any one
engaged in a like useful and necessary
branch of industry is too preposterous
to need argument for it's refutation or
even a denial, to call it in question.
But whatever may be the intention of
the party in promulgating that doctrine,
the question that most concerns the
employe is, would the adoption of such
policy injuriously affect his interests
and his wages or would it benefit him
and his interests?
Government ownership and control
OF the means of transportation, would
give to producers and manufacturers in
all branches of industry the means of
exchanging and transporting the prod
ucts of their labor at actual cost, and
surely no one can fail to see that en-
ployes or wage earners must be among
the first and most certain beneficiaries
OF such an arrangement. At least as
many employees would be required as
operatives under government owner
ship and control as under the present
system, and it seems quite safe to say
that vastly increased number of oper-
atives and employees will be required,
first, because e. the United States
eight-hour law, and, second, because of
the fact that all public works and en-
terprises either under state or national
control are, as rule, executed in the
fullest and best manner known to such
services.
This being true, it follows that road
beds, bridges and tracks would be put
and kept in the best condition possible
and constructed of the best material
obtainable, thus requiring more labor
ers and insuring greater safety to life,
limb and property. not only Of the

In the entire state we find that but
two county conventions have en-
dorsed Mr. Owen for the senate-and
that is all. In nearly every conven-
ton the matter has been talked OF
and dropped. The most remarkable
''set down" was in St. Paul. At the
local convention in St. Paul demo
cratic contingent undertook to have
Mr.. Owen endorsed, and the laboring
men sat down upon it with a dull
thud-and every 'Owen man" was
spitted on political stiletto.
And what is Of more import the
Hennepin labor people are greatly
rejoiced over the event. They nom
mated Owen for congressional repre-
sentative. He neither would nor
wouldn't. he neither accepted nor
reiterated his declination-he was be-
yond all question waiting to take
whichever plum fell to him. The Min
lneapolis labor people were dumb
founded, and are loud in their denun-
ciations-and Mr.. O. has lost his
strength in Minneapolis.
Meantime Mr.. Owen has been out in
the state speaking several times for
the peoples party, and making good
speeches too-and stating that now
he stood on the platform.
The result of all this is, that Mr.. O..
is enveloped in a cloud. With won
derful possibilities for good, with
natural abilities, he has failed to take
that stalwart course which could defy
the changes OF the rapidly changing
times. The fact is, that Mr.. Owen
has failed to come up to the demands
of the times. And why,-will any one
tell us why-a party should under
take to place in the law making body
man who has opposed the laws we
are fighting for-and stood with the
Phelps outfit up to the last possible
moment!
Will some one explain this?
Explain how it is-that you, the
men who stand by Mr.. Owen right or
wrong, that you will seek to elevate
a man into the law-making body who
is opposed to the laws you pretend
to want-and who opposed the peo-
pies party until the "alliance party"
fizzled?
There can be but one answer: Any
man who advocates Mr.. Owen for
the senate does not want those laws!
We care not who this hits. We care
not if it means abuse or punishment:
We say again, that any man who
wants Mr.. Owen for senator does
not want the financial platform of
the peoples party-is opposed to our
magnificent revolution-and is quiet
~ seeking to stay the hand of the
people.

The organization of railroad clubs
has in view the votes and influence of
railroad employees to ''down" all legis-
lation looking to the control of rail-
roads by the states which have granted
them their charters. It would be far
better for railroad employees to reserve
their power for the enforcement of such
legisla ton as is of vital Importance to
them. Railroad employees can, we think,
with prudence, remember that if they
antagonize the dominant party in a
legislature, that that party will antag-
onize their interests, for such is human
nature. Locomotive Firemens Maya
