The Wheel: Keep it before the
oeople that it requires more than
twice as much labor to get dollar
to-day as it did twenty-five years ago
but that dollar when you get It, will
paw no moro debt or taxes than it
wolld pay in 1867.

Knights of Labor Journal: Ala
bama is a great state and has vast re-
sources, but it raises very mean
sample Of Oates. And speaking OF
Oates, it was mean thing Of Jerry
Simpson to suggest that some folks
were better judges of the effects Of
tangle- foot than of legislation.
Z The independents About $25, 900
a day is what it cost the state of
Pennsylvania to keep the militia Mt
Homestead and Manager Frick
quietly winked the other eye as he

A correspondent asks: why
should congressman be paid for his
absence from congress-? If a poorly
paid mail carrier here in the West
misses trip the price of the trip is
deducted from his pay" The reason
is because too many people vote for
the &. o. p's. as their fathers and
their grandfathers did.

Alliance Herald: The poor de-
1uded farmers" who have been misled
and deceived by designing politicians
for the past twenty-five years. and
have found out that the cry Of white
supremacy only means hustle to the
polls and give the shrieker OF such
rot a good. fat Office, are in this fight
for equal rights to stay
Goldendale Courier: We suggest
that the Democratic party and the
Republican party consolidate. For
name we would suggest that they
take the first two syllahcs of
democratic, and the last two sylla-
bles of the Republican" party. It
would be more convenient and less
expensive to run one party instead OF
two; besides the result would be the
same.
National Economist: One of the
pressing needs of the time the sup
plying Of which is destined to make
the fortune Of some future genius is
the invention Of a thought incubator.
Such q machine would be especially
appreciated by tariff takers and
force bill debaters who would will
ingly bankrupt themselves just now
for the sake OF q few new thoughts on
these aged but highly revered sub.

The Toiler Of Tennessee: Of course
the People party will go to the polls
and vote-no sort of intimidation
will keep them away. They not only
propose TO vote but at the risk of their
lives will see their votes counted.
Democracy had as well under
stand now that it will not
be lot of embarrassed negroes who
will demand justice this time. it will
be an outraged intelligent set of de-
termined Americans. Justice they
will demand and justice they will
have.
New Nation: There is plenty of
room at the top" is phrase often on
the lips of persons who defend the
present competitive. devil take the
hindmost order of things. A more
stupid and brutal fallacy than is in
volved in this maxim never found ex-
preston. AT the top of what is it
meant that there is plenty of room?
Manifestly at the top of the others
of the mass. The very expression
thus implies that the mass is and
must be undermOst and that those
who are at the top must be relatively
few.

The Hartford Post says: 1T is
queer commentary on human nature
that while the Pinkerton Offices have
been besieged by men willing and
anxious to risk their lives at Home
stead. farmers advertise in vain for
/. men to help them in the fields"
Human nature is of course open to
criticism. but what does the Post
think of social and political institu-
lions under which it is more profita-
BILE and desirable openly to enroll as
murderer ready to shoot down any
body at the command of an employer
than to engage in honest Industry
