The wages paid the 5. 263 children
under II years OF age working in the
Rhode Island mills are indeed a
melancholy text for those who preach
the protection to American indus.
try The average wages is 81. 25 q
week, and in many cases it is as low
as "a cents
1t is to be remembered that the
work done by these children at from
"a cents to 81. 25 q week is necessary
work in the process of clock making.
Improved machinery With almost
human intelligence eliminate almost
entirely the necessity for physical
strength. Hence the manufacturers
are enabled TO get the work of an
able bodied man done for IA cents a
week.
The result is as Commissioner
Goodwin shows. that fathers beg for
work while their daug hters perform
what they otherwise would do for

which-Ballot. Or Bullet.,

It is with capitalism-with plutoc-
racy-to say whether or not we shall
have peaceable solution Of the war
already on between labor and capital.
If left to them the great common
people Of this country will settle the
question at issue by the ballot and in
doing SO will take the reins of gov.
eminent into their own landscapes
sess themselves of the government,
as they have the right to do. But
will they be permitted to do so?
That's the question. The men from
behind the plows from the mines.
from the shops and factories the
men who dig the bitches build the
roads and operate them constitute
the great majority in this country.
They can WELD an overwhelming
power if they choose to do so. and it
looks now very much like they were
going to do itp That they will do it
there is net a doubt but can they do
so peaceably? That's the question. -

Help the Poor millionatre,

We observe that the Republican
platform IS in favor of cent postage.
This is perfectly proper and consist
ent on the part of the Republican
party. There are thousands OF
wealthy corporations immense bank
ing institutions huge monopolies,
millionaire manufacturers and mer-
chants who use thousands of dollars
OF postage stamps every year. 10
them it means a saving of thousands
OF dollars annually. On the other
hand. there are millions of poor peo.
pie who do not write half a dozen
letters in whole year 10 them it
means saving of perhaps 5 cents in
a whole year. lnasmuch as the Re-
publican party is the party OF mil
lionaires it is right that they should
look after the interests of the rich.

Are We Patrf0ts2

Surely we have wills of our own
and having we dare to execute them
though the heavens fall
Has this political revolution been
brought about as child's play, or
has it been deliberately considered by
patriots? We say it has been in
spired by love for liberty of thought
and by a desire to rescue this repub-
lie from the clutches of concentra-
ted wealth. Then is not the Peoples
party legitimate child of necessity
and as such should it not be fondled
upon the knee of federation?
If you have declared your political
freedom. if you have broken away
the shackles of party slavery and can
now say you wear no machine yoke
then you are ready TO resent the in
suit by the Jehazyites; you are ready
to strike back when the party lash is
piled. You are ready to proclaim to
the world on November 9Th that you
have a will of your own that you live
for Katie AMI the baby" and not for
bourbon Democracy,
The sore distress abroad in the land
will find no comforter in the crack of
the party lash. Patriotism has been
aroused. it knows its duty and will
surely do it. No amount of intimida-
ton, no sweet toned coa=i9g will per-
susde it to ag..!.n- put on the yoke of
partisan slavery. We are out in the

bers be fewer If you fear the party
lash then step out OF ranks and let a

Carnegie's Alleged Profits.

A dispatch from St. Paul says that
w. w. Erwin. the Minnesota LAWYER
sent by the Labor Unions of that
state to aid in the defense of the
locked out men at Homestead, Pa.
returned to St. Paul, and brought with
him a sensation. He said: Behind
the Homestead emeute lies foul con-
spiracy. The men who made the
rolled armor plate told me that the
cost OF that plate was only about $40
a ton while the government paws
Carnegie 900 ton. Here is profit
of over 50. 500 600 to Carnegie on his
6. OOO-tons contract. And the men
tell me that the test plates were
manufactured with mixtures of
aluminium worth to cents a pound.
and so stood the government test;
but that the delivered armor was
rolled STEEL which the workmen
claim will SILVER like glass before the
testing guns of the government.
This must be investigated. and the
patriotic court of the commonwealth
of Pennsylvania is the proper place
to test the truth of the emeute and
locate the conspiracy against justice
and the public veal.

Safety for the Farmer.

'Ieople yet alive can remember
the way in which wheat used to be
bought over the pile in this city. the
farmer bringing it in being obliged
to accept whatever was offered him
because there was no competing
market and not even quotation
elsewhere with which to make COM
parison. The result was that the
grain bought here in the fall uniform
~ brought minimum prices. It was
held here during the winter and
shipped by lake at an enormous profit
the nominal price here also going up
when the farmers had no more to
SELL"
The above is the style in which the
friends of the grain gamblers try to
beguife the people into opposing the
Hatch bill OF course the interlopers
between producer and consumer did
their best then as they do now to
seize all possible profit The only
safety for the farmers is to do their
own holding over" by immense CO.
operative associations. They would
sometimes loose, but oftener gain.

what Faith Can TO.

1t can win battles and tear down
prison walls. Although, as a general
principle of action. we do not put
our trust in the unstable fancfes of
the imagination. we have high
respect for that spiritual confidence
in the respect of a good cause whic h
may be faith. and which. in it's
operations stiffens other vertebra
and assures a sense of self reliance
that helps to do wonders in the
contamination of grand results. And
SO. we say. lit can win battles" 1t
can stimulate the mind and stilfen
the muscle and rouse the soul to it's
utmost endeavor. Certainly this is a
most desirable function in the propaga-
ton of any cause or reform. OF
course we know that GOD
helps those who help them
selves" We know that strong
arms and resolute hearts must go into
the fight and bear the brunt of battle.
But there is as we'll a place for
faith as stimulus for action, and a
base for the manifestation of strength
and courage United. they are strong
and powerful. The lines of the
enemy break before them. and they
march on and plant the flag of
victory. Thus we apply these
thoughts and considerations to the
reform we advocate. Let the leaders
go forward and rally the workers and
friends to the work that lies before.
Faith. hope and courage will carry
them through. For they say:
their hearts were strong and patient.
And they lived for truth and right.
And they met their work with courage,
And did it with their might.

Close TO Plutocratic Governments.

A suit Of laborer against duke
was one of the recent surprising
events IA England. remarks one Of
our plutocratic old party papers and
continuing the same authority says:
"A still more surprising thing is the
laborer's victory" Such a result in
free America would be we'll nigh
an impossibility. Hence the surprise
of the plutocratic journal.
The other day when the Homestead
people had some of the Carnegie
leaders. arrested, charged with murder
for bringing in armed Pinkertons
who fred on and killed several OF the
Homestead citizens the case was pre-
judged by Judge Ewing. who stepped
in advance of his authority and
fastened, with scorn in his language
to tell the Homestead people they had
no rights in the case ard that the
Pinkertons had every right to be
there. The monopoly and monied
aristocracy has made such in
sidious advances toward the SUBJ
version of republican government
in the United States, that a judge do
c,ares that a corporation has right
to employ foreign army to invade a
state without permission from the
constituted authorities of the state,
and when town is invaded by the
hired mercenary soldiers the people
have no right to repel the invaders.
This is the logic of Judge Ewing s
volunteered decision. We are mighty
near the time and the boundary line
when corporate power will step over
and post its proclamation in every
city that its plutocratic princes will
take charge of the government in
future and relieve the people from all
|. further care or concern. in public af-
fairs. Are the blind partisan voters
ready Tor this? They have been and
are voting as they are directed. What
concern to them If the same authority
say TO them their vote is not nee
essary longer to keep our party in
power? Have they ever nsidered
there is but little if any difference be-
tween blindly voting to keep their
party in power ana its keeping in
power without their voting? Think
of this, We party bigots. Labor World.
