Ten new strikes every working day
is the record of labor in England after
sixty-siX years of trade unionism pure
and simple. We are younger, but we
can beat that here. And yet one good
strike at the polls on election day
would settle forever the o-called ire
pressible conflict in few hours. Mid

1t is probable that Mr.. Hill will
prevent the nomination of Mr.. Cleve-
land, as he certainly prevented his
election in 1883, but it does not follow
that Mr.. Hill has any show for the
nomination, as he surely would have
none for election if nominated. Hill
and German represent the republican
wing of the democratic party-or the
democratic wing of the republican
plutocracy, and the people are aSare
of It, There is no good reason why
every voter should prefer Hill to n re-
publican who thinks and acts as Hill
does and serves the same masters.
Hill isn't in it. for if he should be NOM
mated II wtadiu De necessary 10 az once
organize a real democratic party, and
1t would be done, too-Lawrence

The call for the national demo-
cratic convention asking all citizens

tutional government" to unite with the

monopoly; principal owner of the
Briceville, Tenn, mines, where convict
labor starves out honest men; the
Brice who lives in New York and re-
fuses to pay his personal taxes in
Ohio, yet represents that state in the
United States senate; the same Brice
whose enormous fortune is being
rapidly increased by tribute wrung
from the people by many forms of
monopolistic extor .on; and yet there
are reformers who talk seriously about
their hopes of getting reforms through
the democratic party.-Iowa Farmers
