A TARIFF PLANK.

Respectfully Referred to Grover Cleveland
For His Prayerful Consideration.
Whereas, the factors that enter into
solution of the tariff problem are in
terest, profit and the price of labor; and
Whereas, the conditions that render
protective tariff necessary. are the
low rates of interest small margins of
profit and cheapness of labor in Eng
land,
Therefore, it is the sense Of this con.
ference that anything approaching free
trade is impossible SO long as capital
receives as interest, and it's correlative
profit nearly double as much for each
five thousand dollars invested as is paid
as wages to an able-bodied adult la
borer; and it is further
Resolved, that any reduct ion of the
tariff, bringing about reduction in
the price of goods, without there is first
effected a corresponding redu ction in
the rates of interest and profit, must
necessarily cause the whole burden Of
such reduction to be borne by labor in
the form of reduction in wages

A Modern Wizard .

In the olden times, people who
we're able to do anything out of the,
common were supposed to possess
supernatural powers, and to be in
league with the devil. Wizards and
witches, were looked upon with hate
and dread, and very severe laws were
enacted to repress witchcraft. The
most disgraceful page in New Eng
land history is that which details
the trials at Salem for supposed
dealings with the Evil One. Had
some OF our inventors whose discov-
cries enrich and delight mankind,
lived a few hundred years ago, their
end would have been at the stake or
gallows. The American who Der
haps has the best claim now to the
title OF wizard is Thomas A Edison.
Born in 1847, the 18th of February.
his patented inventions are numbered
by the hundreds, and in the field of
electrical appliances he stands with
out, an equal. Modern wizards, too.
are the men who build railroads.

in a night, and fills the solitudes
with millions of happy farmers

Journal of Knights of Labor.
The open alliance of Nebraska held
its annual state meeting recently and
adopted resolution, unanimously, in
structing the state delegates to their an
nual national meeting, to be held in
Chicago on the 27th inst, to vote for a
permanent union with our order. This
brings into our order one of the strong
est and best organized of all the Amer

After two years of the most des-

Watch the proceedings of congress
upon the Nicaragua canal scheme. It
contemplates another steal similar to

it is perfectly fitting that John Sher-
man should introduce and champion
the bill. He has reduced robbery by
legislative methods to science, and
he understands all of its intricacies.
Anything he favors may justly be re-
garded with suspicion. If there is to
be Nicaragua canal, and this govern
ment is to build it. let the government
own and control it, and the people will
be satisfied. They will not be satisfied
if they have to pay for it and let a pri-
vate corporation own it.-Advocate.

the part of the conservative laborers
and taxpayers of the United States,
that equality of rights before the
law" must be respected and main
tanned.
Second. 1.-THE obligations and res
possibilities of those people sending
delegates to that meeting"
This great reform movement is en-
phatically ''of the people, by the peo-
pie, and for the people," and in the
selection of delegates, by whomsoever
made, scrupulous care should be taken
that only those should be chosen who
will periodically and faithfully repre-
sent the views and sentiments of their
constituents.
Third. 1.-THE responsibilities of the
delegates to their constituency"
The true relation between repre-
sentative and his people who have dele
gated to him certain prerogatives and
powers, is compact of the most
solemn and responsive character. To
be invested. with the execution of the
expressed will of his constituents and
with discretionary powers to serve
their best interests he who shall so
perform these duties as to meet their
appreciation is deserving of all honor
But if he should disregard or violate
that compact, evade its duties, or be-
tray the high trust reposed in him, he
would merit the condemnation of all
honorable men. Voluntarily accepting
the position, he voluntarily assumes all
the responsibilities attaching thereto
and should meet them in the most con-
scientious manner
Fourth. THE work to be done by
the conference, embracing it's object
and purposes"
If, after free, full and frank inter-
change of views of the various organi-
cations and interests there represented,
it is found that we have grievances in
common and that the evils under which
we suffer are common, we should bold Y
make common cause and pledge our
earnest and united effort in securing
the remedy. On one thing, doubtless,
all will agree-that the ruinous fnan-
cial depression that hangs like a blight
ing pail over the industrial energies of
the people, and which threatens finan-
cial CONFUSION unparalleled in our his
tory, is directly due to unjust and dis
eliminating legislation. The most iln-
port2nt work Of the conference will be
to formulate declaration of principles
which,. if enacted into law, shall re-
store quietude and prosperity to the
country and secure to every citi-
zen and every interest equal JUS
tice before the law. That declaration
should be bold, clear cut and un mistak-
able in its terms The principles enun-
ciated should be SO sound, so just, so
broad and so patriotic as to commend
them to all good citizens. The people,
through their conference, should de-
clare that they will support no man,
nor men, nor party who oppose these
principles. The people should declare
through their conference that If no
existing political party will espouse
our principles, earnestly, honestly and
in good faith, that they will make a

interest thus aroused and quickeped
would be intensified in the weekly and
bi-weekly rallies held in 'the little red
school-house on the hill' all over the
land. It would be to our brotherhood
a striking and most encouraging illus
tration of the power of com bined effort
and organization.
