ingmen by new. The government
responds to its call, and practically
says to the workingmen: "If you try
to prevent other men from taking
your places, we will shoot you,' in
stead of saying: Settle this matter
between you You must arbitrate.
These worlkingmen have rights which
the government is bound to respect
! But let us suppose another case.
Business Is still prosperous. The en-
i ployer is making large profits, and the
workingmen feel that their wages
should be increased that they may
build homes. They demand higher
wages The employer refuses, and
threatens to bring in other men to take
their places They call upon the gov
ernment to protect their property,
which is their situations Will the gov
ernment hasten to their aid? viii the
government say to the capitalist: ''If
you bring men here to take these mems
work from them (Which is their prop
erty) we will shoot your
''How absurd!" the capitalist cries.
Why absurd? Explain the absurdity.
If it is not absurd, but right and proper
las capitalistic newspapers say 1t is)
for the government to shoot laborers in
aid of capital, why should it be absurd
for the government to shoot capitalists
in aid of labor? If one act is wrong,
or absurd, or unjust, why not the
other?
Conditions change As conditions
change laws must change If the right
to property is entitled to government
protection, why should not the right to
labor be entitled to government protec-
ton?
When the rights of money and the
rights of labor clash, what is the duty
of the government? Should it support
money against men? Is that what a
government for the people means? Has
not capital been supreme monarch long
enough?
If we wish to be free, how shall we
gain our freedom? BY bullets2
No; not bullets, but ballots
Bullets are the weapons Of the weak
and cowardly, who know their cause Ii
unjust Labor can conquer through the
ballot
Ninety-nine ballots against one!
What can capital do when labor ID
un1ued! NoUnlnS, except 10 grant bnS
just demands of labor.
Let the people elect representative:
who will represent them
In the past labor has been controlled
in the interest of capital.
In the future capital must be con
trolled in the interests of labor. In the
conflict between men and money meT
must win, or the republic will fall, ani
we shall see an aristocracy, If not
monarcy built upon its ruins. How
shall we avoid this danger?
See to it that not labor only, but cap
ital also, is controlled.
There is but one way.

Mis- surI I'm Doubt.

Col Pat Dyer, of St Louis, was re-
Gently in Denver and was interviewed
by a News reporter Asked how the
farmer element of Missouri felt upon
the silver question, Col. Dyer said:
"A big democratic delegation was sent
to congress two years ago pledged to
vote for free coinage. With a demo-
cratic majority of l4O in the lower house
the voters expected something to be ac-
complished in favor of the white metal.
When the congressman came home they
were met everywhere with the ques-
tion: why didn't you pass the bill?'
The only answer was that Mr.. Cleve-
land was opposed to the measure and
as he was candidate for president it
would place him in an awkward posi-
tion to oppose his sentiments on the
subject The farmers feel that free
coinage has no hope in the hands of
Cleveland and will fare no better under
Mr.. Harrison. Missouri may cast 60O,-
600 votes at the coming election, and it
| is difficult to prophesy the result upon
the national ticket"

The Weaver and Field club of Gran d
Junction, Col, has decided to at once
push the campaign, and to that end has
arranged for a series of public meet
ings. Judge Ballard recently addressed
an enthusiastic meeting held under the
auspices of the club. Neither of the
old political parties has as yet made
any move toward awakening enthpsi-
aSm in that county and probably will
not until after the state conventions.

Free Silver.

In discussing free silver the Denver
News is of the opinion that there is
not silver miner nor business or
working man in the country but should
feel grateful to the peoples party.
We're it not for that organization and
its sympathy with whatever tends to
the benefit of the masses, free coinage
would be a lost issue in this canvass
and it would require decade to restore
it to the vigor it possessed year ago.
Voters should not discard the nominees
of the peoples party because in its in
fancy it proposes some measures they
cannot approve. That which is vital
and attainable they support Free coin
age for silver is the crying want-they
are now it's champions. Unite with
them to attain that, and in doing so if
you mold its councils and purposes so
as to merit the greater and wider pub
lie confidence you will prove a bene-
| factor to country and race

1 have been mistaken" he says, like
thousands of other men who have been
voting with the republican party, and
we see our brethren of the producing
and laboring classes surrounded by
conditions which are absolutely appal-
ing, and the great question now is to
save them before it is too late" The
letter continues: 81 fear your
party has departed from the
teachings of Lincoln, Stanton,
Seward add Chase. 1 fear that
spoilsmen dominate your councils and
lobbyists corrupt your law-making
body. 1 fear that you follow leaders
who by slow but sure transactions lead
you to do the bidding of the most cruel
and heartless power this country had
ever known-the money power Your
rank and file are honest, but they are
deceived by sophistry and false logic
Your leaders stir up prejudice and set
men against their neighbors. They
light the fire of sectional hatred and
arouse partisan bigotry. They have
placed your party practically on the
side of capital which is nothing but
property chattel, and against labor
which is humanity in action. Humani-
ty is above all the chattel property of
| the earth. 1t holds within it mighty
potentialities, human hearts, and inn
mortal souls which cannot be made to
long submit to useless ceremonials,
empty formulas and questionable doc
trines." For these and other reasons
Mr.. Madden says it must follow that
his place is with the peoples party, it
being the party of law and order, and
carries within it the very soul-life OF
patriotism.
