papers, even those that had before
hired the Pinkertons, declared 1.-THE
Pinkertons must go and at once" It
was amazing to see how quickly the
Pinkertons became an illegal body, so
soon as they were well whipped.
The congress of the United States, so
long deaf and derlict to this Pinkerton
infamy, suddenly woke upsnd declared
loudly that ''in very truth the Pinker-
tons must go, and stay not on the order
of their going, but go at once"
On Sunday, July 10, the workingmen
of this republic met in ten thousand
halls and gave vent to their deep indig-
nation against the capitalistic system
which had so long used Pinkerton
thugs to outrage and shoot them down.
Their wrath was fearless, profound and
intensely revolutionary in its bold
utterances. There is no blinking this
fact, for it is the truth.
The roar of the aroused democratic
lion is to day sounding through the
land, and it is no wonder that our rich
and luxurious classes are trembling
with terror for they have ample reason.
The might Of millions of brawny, brave
and intelligent workmen, reused to
heroic action after yearssof patient en-
durance of cruel wrongs, is something
that the wicked, plutocratic oppressor
may we'll feel horror of.
The Pennsylvania militia is now oc-
cupying Homestead. 1t is lot probable
that the workingmen will resist them
unless they are converted into a regular
garrison of Fort Frick to protect the
black sheep non-union workingmen
which the ruthless manager of the Car
negie corporation is now getting to-
gether. If this be done, or attempted
then war to the death will be begun
on the banks of the Monongahela,
which ere it ends may drencG this re-
public in blood and wrap it in flames.
This is no picture of the fancy. 1t is
felt as coming certainty by millions
of wise and awe.struck patriots.
What can save our lmperiled country
in this time of supreme crisis What
can give it progress by peaceful evolu-
ton instead ofstormy revolution ?
Not the democratic party and not the
republican party, for both of these have
always and ever been found wanting.
The Peoples party of America can
save Washington republic, and there
is no other political party that can. 1t
is the party of reform. 1t is the party
of law and order. 1t is the party that
believes in the reign of justice. 1t is
the only party that in very truth is
both republican and democratic. 1t is
party that is broadly national, and
knows no north, no south, no east, no
west. 1t only knows the whole people
of our whole country. 1t comes forth
from the producing millions that have
made this country great and rich.
1t is party of the masses, and not
of nor for the classes. 1t believes in free
institutions, whose mission it is to do
the greatest good to the greatest num-
Der. 1t believes in honest and patriotic
legislation for all the people Of our
common fatherland.
1t is party which knows that pro-
gress is the true law of our national
life, and that if righteous advancement
te denied US by plutocratic power, the
republic is put in danger of death.
General Weaver of the North, Gen
eral Field of the South, brave wearers of
the blue and gray, are the Peoples
rarty standard bearers. Behind them
is mighty army, millions strong,
made up of our purest, best and most
patriotic citizens.
Whosoever would help save his
country. let him join this sublimely
unselfish host. The ranks OF the good
and freesonled will open in welcome to
him.-IHe Vanguard.
