FRIEND FISH:
In view OF the charges made by the
plutocratic press on the changes in
party affiliation made by our next
governor, let me call your attention
to the following words uttered by
him in 1864:
"For myself, 1 can only see the well
fare of my country in those things
which widen the opportunities and
elevate the dignity of mankind. l
can not perceive the advantage to
any man OF the degradation of any
other man, and l feel assured of the
greatness and perpetuity of my coun-
try only in so far as it identifies itself
with the uninterrupted progress and
universal liberty ofmaukind. Speech
May 2, 1864, Cong. Globe 1864,
page 2O39.)" Is it his fault that
while he still holds to these doctrines
the old parties have fallen from
them?

Old Shylock.

Say, toilers, have you seeu old Shylock,
With O wild look on his face
Go long the road some time this m orning,
Like he was going to leave the place?
He saw the Peoples party coming,
And it put him in q sweat
He saw his days of theft were over,
And twas time for him to get.
CHORUS.
Old Shylock runs, ha! ha!
The toilers stay, ha! hoo!
1t must be now that a change is coming,
In the year Of '92.
He's six foot one way four feet tOther.
And he can't get through door,
He got his 1T all off the toiler
And still he's after 10 ore.
But now they re on to his sly little racket.
And still he'd better keep;
He sees his goose ia cooked for certain
So he's going to make sneak-CHo.
For twenty years he's robbed ths people,
Protected by the laws;
We're coming now to stop his thieving,
And bring him to pause.
Well send men out to catch the villain,
And put the scamp to work.
And show him if he wants a living
He must-po longer shirk -CHo.
Old Sbylsck now is finding shelter
With his Dem Rep. machine:
Well smash his mill as sure as thunder,
And dump it in the stream.
Fol- dirty tricks and highway robbing
Wen put the villain through:
Well show him that his name is Dennis
In the fall of '92.

IF NOT, WHY NOT7

Mr.. Carnegie's Employees Have just as
Much Right to Discharge Him as He
Has to Discharge Them.
It is, not simply a matter of wages,
nor of tariffs, nor of Pinkertons, though
these are included in the broad issues
raised by the battles at Homestead, in
Pennsylvania, and C@ur d'Alene, in
Idaho. Speaking of the latter the Min
neapolis Tribune (Rep.) says:
Idaho silver mining is not protected
by tariff. Neither were the Ceur Alene
mines invaded by Pinkerton men. But
that did not prevent battle and blood
shed.
The mine owners thought s. a day
enough for unskilled hands The union
men demanded $3.50 and refused to
work for So. The mine owners then
attempted to work their mines with
non-union men.
ION Monday the feeling between the
union and non-union men eliminated.
After preliminary skirmish, the unio
men in an armed body marched upon
the Frisco mill, and after blowing it uI
with giant powder, succeeded in forcing
the surrender of 10 non-union la borers.
The result was five men killed, and a
loss of $125, 600 by explosion.
1.-THE affair was purely a contest be.
tween union and non-union labor.
Union labor maintained the principle
that it had right to prevent non-union
labor from accepting work from which
union labor had struck. The contest
rested on the same ISIS ne as that which
underlay the Homestead trouble"
Granted that it is purely a contes,
between union and non-union labor"
it is very important that the country
understand the differences between the
two.
Non-union or unorganized labor il
made up of that vast body of men who
accept the existing industrial conditions
either as all right, or the best that car
be had, or who admit that they are very
far from being right but fear that any
distinct, or concerted effort to better
them, might make matters worse.
Union or organized labor is bold, as
sertive, aggressive, and maintains thai
the laborer has rights not recognized by
the existing arrangements.
The union laborer at Homestead

The WAR is OVER.

The Blue and the Gray Are at Last
Blended Harmoniously in National
Ticket.
The act of the Omaha convention IN
nominating Weaver and Field has onS
browning feature that cannot be too
much considered or discussed. :
Many wide-open mouths have said:
''The war is over" but it remained for
the peoples party to proclaim by an
overt act, that everyb body could see, I'M
derstand Ambiguity interpret, that the
bloody shirt, with the people, is buried.
For the first time in national politics
has confederate veteran been properly
recognized.
The south has suffered much from the
waving of the bloody shirt, and yet the
old time political hack finds great
pleasure in using it against Weaver: II
is horrible thing for the bloody boys
of the north to use It against democ-
racy, but it is all right now to wave the
old thread-bare rag against the nomi-
nee of the peoples party. A Virginia
congressman has been interviewed and,
as is usual with the press, his mouth,
red with slaughter, has been used to
stir up the animals Weaver, in the
opinion of the congressman, was and is
great blood wader. He sucked up
whole hogsheads of southern blood
during the war, and actually, since the
war, has said some naughty things
| about the dear old democratic party.
Ask that congressman if he didn't vote
for Greeley or Hancock that butchere6
| 4 4, 10
And as to Field-why he is blood
wader too, and wanted the whole yan1
kee nation killed.
Of course the Virginia congressman
has got it down all right, and we are
glad to find it SO. We were looking for
blood-waders at Omaha, and we are
glad to know that we found them. We
didn't want to nominate deserter or
a court proof gentleman. We want
ed to emphasize the great fact that with
the people the war is over, and we
.ould not do it unless we got blood.
wader, real, live, CORY blood-wader.
So here's health to the blood-waders,
Weaver and Field, arm in arm, laying
flowers upon the graves of the blue and
the gray.
And the Richmond Dispatch, in its
issue of July 10, 1892, says: ''The won.
der is how they can 'harmonize'. Well
the peoples party is going to show
how to 'harmonize''-how to putA

OFFICE
MINI. AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY,
HAHrT yNr MENNrcnnA

HAMLINE, MINNESOTA.
At the close of the summer meeting
OF the Twin City Jockey club, which
has been in progress at the state fair
grounds for some weeks, the State
Agricultural society will commence
the work of preparation for the uhir-
ty-fourth annual fair, which occurs
Sept. 5 to 10.
Asshown at the races, the new grand
stand is q model of beauty and COM
fort and the track and it's surroun-
dings have been materially improved
and are now in excellent condition.
The fair buildings have all been com.
pletely refurnished, and are now in
condition for the reception OF great
variety of exhibits.
The grounds themselves possess
great natural beauty, innumerable
shade trees having been set out, and
plentiful supply OF cold, clear water
will enable the tired and dusty null
tltude to Stake it's thirst during the
gathering at the fair. Pretty foun-
tains and many shaped Hover beds
break the expanse OF velvety lawn,
and we'll made roads lead to the var
ious.points OF interest, The trans
poruation facilities this year will be
the very finest. Several OF the lead
ing roads will run their trains right
into the fair grounds, and the city
railway company has built a track
directly to the entrance, and willput
on a large number of additional cars.
Probably the most sensational per-
Torrance to be seen during the fair
will be the curious skycycle managed
by Prof. Carl Myers, the seronaut, of
New York state. In this vehicle Prof.
Myers will mount into the air and in
the presence of the astonished multi
tude will 60 through many perfor-
mances which, to say the least are
remarkable. He will sail about the
grounds at will and will be assisted
by his pretty wife, Carlotta. who
makes a decidedly attractive assis-
tant and adds not a little to the en-
tertainment. The program is varied,
but the skycycle will be seen each a.
ternoon, and the fair managers say
that it is unlike any so-called balloon
ascension which never ascends.
The bicyclists have not been over
looked, and on Saturday, Sept. TO-,
the last day of the fair, there will be
five races open to amateurs Of the
state. Immediately befure the races
there will be a parade OF gaily dec
Grated wheels, and there are prizes
offered for the prettiest bikes"
Handsome medals are hung up for
the events, and Collie Bell, the cham
pion bicyclist of the state, has the
races in charge. There will be a lar
ger and more diversified exhibit id
the main building than ever before,
and, Judging from the entries, the
live stock department will be COM
pletely filled,with horses, cattle, sheep
and swine, to say nothing aboutpoul
try. A number of celebrated men
have been asked to be present and de-
liver addresses at the fair, and it is
possible that among them will be the
will known Gen. Weaver, of Iowa, the
presidential candidate OF the peoples
party.
