SAM JONES, SAY
About the Homestead Riot and Grover
Cleveland.


Rev. Sam Jones, writing from
Ruston, La, to the Atlanta Jour
nal, discusses Homestead and
politics as follows:
/ see the papers are dovoting
columns to the Homestead riot.
Do you know that there is a con-
stantly growing undercnrrent,
wllh its occasional outciOpping
like this, which will as certainly
come TO the surface AS that capital
will continue TO oppress labor.
Labor is organized as surely as
capital is organized Labor is
growing more intelligent as capi-
tai is growing More oppressive.
The labor unions are not simply
organizations 10 resist the inva-
sions of Their rights, bur they are,
by these organizations, brought in
contact with the most advance
thought of economic questions
through their welI-posted orators
and Their periodicals and literature.
When Intelligence, Industry and
sobriety shall crown the life of the
laboring man, then capital will
capitulate, and the golden rule,
'Do unto others as you would
have them do unto yon,n will regu-
late the scale of wages and the
hours men are to work.
Congress going to investigate
There is not an old beer soaked
Republican or IL red-nosed Demo
crat in congress but what knows
the causes of the trouble at Home
stead as well as he knows the
humber of the congressional dis
tlict he misrepresents in congress.
/ see very little outlook for thus
country AS long as demag gues
make its laws and politicians con
troll its destiny.
There are good men in Congress,
but what's the use to stalk about
purity and honesty if it's to b
followed by a funeral proce' sionY'
If that is not Senator Colquitts
creed, it surely must he Congrrs-
sional policy. If l had the ability
and prestige l would love 10 be a
memb r of the United States Con
gress one day (s). / would take a
many old guzzler up ami hold him
out at arms length and let him
kick his fool self to death. There
would be blood and hair and the
ground torn up for thousand
yards around the capitol.
The average ID, mucratlc politi-
clan can only see in the Homestead
trouble capital for his party, be-
cause C1ruegie IS Repu licau
and his manufactory is .'protected."
While the average Republican
instead of Joining IN with the
Democrats to wisely adjust anu
honestly settle, SO far as Congress
can do so, the differences between
the millionaire and the paupei-
lied labor aOout him, he Is rali-
sacking the universe to find oul
the best lie to suit his purposes
and ward off the blow, which he
knows he deserves, and for winch
this co intry will hold his party
responsible at the polls in No, en-
ber next.
Ib .lieve old Grover CleS elanl
will stick to purity and honesty
though funeral procession awaits
him ia November, but | verify he
lieve that because the people be.
lieve in his purity aud honesty he
will go triumph Antly iuto the
Presidency for another four years,
aud when his second term is ended
he will go out of office swept
honored aud sung" and leav,
these United States 10 his success.
sor in office on more solid basls
If industrial union, broader pros
perity aud greater happiness thai
1hey have known for a hnndr, d
years. So mote il be.
