AN OBJECT LESSON.
The Very Existence of Capitalists Prove
That Labor IL Being Robbed.

The Very Existence of Capitalists Proves
That Labor Is Being Robbed.
During the last ten days, in the trouble
at Homestead, Pa, the people of the
United States have had presented to
lesson from which may be drawn some
valuable and potent conclusions and
which suggests to the mind of the in
quiring student of political economy an
interesting train of thought
The question or issue y. stake does
not enter tito the domain of partisan
politics, unless, indeed, the passing
events may cause the American wage
worker to turn his gaze toward and
build his hopes upon party which adj
vocates the basic principles upon which
labor organizations are built. 1t is true,
republican and democratic papers are
pickering and carping at each other in
regard to the catastrophe. but as their
grasp and treatment of the matter does
not extend beyond its consideration in
relation to the threadbare subject of the
tariff, their arguments are not worthy
of the serious discussion of thinking
men.
But to a thoughtful and well equipped
member of the peoples party the Home
stead riot, if riot it should be called,
conveys weighty arguments of grave
portent. In the bloody conflict be-
tween labor and hired minions of cap
italism he finds abundant justification
for the most radical sentiments in the
preamble to the Omaha platform. In
the surrounding circumstances and adj
mitted attendant facts he finds forceful
arguments in favor of his contention
that the present industrial system is
radically wrong and woefully unjust.
Turning to- his platform he reads:
Wealth belongs to him who creates
it., and every dollar taken from in
dustry without equivalent is robbery"
He then reads that Andrew Carnegie,
not so many years ago, was very poor
man. This sets our populist to think
ing and he sson concludes that if the
declarations in his platform are in har-
mony with the eternal verities Andrew
Carnegie is robber and the Homestead
mills and Mr.. Carnegic's many millions
belong to his lockcd-out workmen, who
created them.
All wealth is produced by labor. La
Dor must be before capital can be. The
fact that capitalists exist proves that
labor is being robbed. In the very ma
true that what we term capitalists are
simply sponges that, by reason of one
sided laws and superior cunning, absorb

THE WAY OUT.
Labor Must Find Relief In Voting For the
PeOple'S Party.

| Labor Must Find Relief In Voting For the
Peoples Party.
Hon. Tom Scott lives in Pennsylvania.
| He is a millionaire, manufacturer and
coal baron. He is also, and has been
for years, a democratic representative
in congress. Some time ago when speak
ing of labor, and the cries of the laborer
for bread, coupled with threatened
strikes, he said:
Give them 1.-THE laborers) the rifle
diet for few days and sec how they
will like that kind of bread" And
/ further on he said: Il tell you there is
too much freedom in this country rather
than not enough"
That was Millionaire Tom Scott,
democratic representative in congress
from Pennsylvania. To-day Millionaire
Carnegie, of the same state, formerly a
Scotch baron, who owns baronial
castle in Scotland, is carrying out the
suggestions of Tom Scott, and trying
to convince labor that she has been en-
joying too much freedom, by giving
labor rifle diet" in answer to her
call for bread. Carnegie is devoted
follower of republicanism. and as such
is following out the advice of Tom
Scott, a devoted worshiper of Cleveland
democracy.
Around his immense iron manufact-
cries at Homestead he has builded an
immense stockade. A fifteen-foot in
closure, at the top rows of wire charged
with deadly dynamos, every seven feet
a frowning port hole, there made to
shoot down and shock to death his en-
ployes should they insist on living
wages. Inside the Enclosure are cars of
hot water provided with hose to scald
the working men. In every large city
in the union are thousands of PinlSerton
thugs, hired by plutocracy. ready
at the beck and call of the en-
ployer to go and shoot down
labor. This is free America,
where we have too much freedom.
This is the place where fiourishes two
great machines-democrac and repub-
licanism-whieh literally love labor.
Yet in the face of all this labor, in its
grand, sublime strength, has van
pushed the plutocrats and their Hes
sian hirelings in one pitched battle.
This must end. The battle of ballots
must. end it. God Almighty will not
allow the blood of labor to moisten the
ground fighting to right cruel wrong.
In His goodness we believe he will lead
all men to see the truth and arm labor
with ballot this fall to vote for the
peoples party platform and life, and
avoid the sacrifice of blood

supposed shelter of their homes found
no refuge. many having been crushed
beneath the weight of the falling
stones and roofs having collapsed under
the weight of ashes. hurying the in
mates, in many instances whole fam

frightful rapidity down the slopes of
the mountains, on which were situated
numerous farms aud villages. Houses
and fugitives alike were overwhelmed
by these rivers of molten rock.

slopes of the mountains. Total loss ri
