it not be better for the people of

the railroads TO control the people,

and banking corporations are the I'M
crowned kings of the American people;
they nominate the candidates of the
two old parties, for president down to
members Of the legislature, and abso-
lutely dictate both state and national
legislation in all matters in which the
retention of power by them is neces-
sary. Reader, is not the time fully ripe

Signs of a Great Social and Political Up

Is it condition or a theory that the
American people are confronting to-day
in the solution of the labor problem?
Look at labor's discomfort everywhere.
Observe the unrest of the masses. You
do not have to place your ear to the
ground to hear the rumblings that
as surely denotes the coming of revo-
luton as the thunder presages the COM
ing storm. Look at the Ceur dAlene
mines
Look at the free miners in Tennes-
sec.
Look at the striking switchmen at
Buffalo!
Strikes everywhere!
Riots and bloodshed
Destruction of property
Scores Of lives lost.
What are the signs of the times?
Will we slumber on in fancied secur-
ity or will we arouse as a people?
You may not be looking for revolu-
ton, and do not want one, but it will
come as sure as fate if the American
people do not arouse and shake off their
lethargy. 10
Men may theorize.
Political doctrinaires may talk wisely
and learnedly, but it will not change
conditions.
We are in it.
We must either vote out or shoot out.
There is no use of assembling.
Let us be men, strong of purpose and
determination TO save this country from
internecine troubles.
To do this let reason have its sway
Lay prejudice aside.

What Ingersoll Says.

Capital has always claimed, and still
claims, the right TO combine. Manu-
facturers meet and determine prices,
even in spite of the great law of supply
and demand. Have the laborers the
same right TO consult and combineP
The rich meet in the bank, club house
or parlor. Workingmen, when they
combine, gather in the street; all the
organized forces of society are against
them. Capital has the army and navy,
the legislature, the judicial and execu-
tive departments. When the rich COM
bine 1t is for the purpose Of exchanging
ideas. When the poor combine 1t is a
conspiracy. If they act in concert, II
they really do something, it is a mob.
II they defend themselves it is treason.
How is it that the rich control the de-
partments of government? In this
country the political power is equally
divided among men. There are GER
tainly more poor than rich. Why
should the rich control? Why should
not the laborer combine for the purpose
Of controlling the executive, the legis-
lative and judicial departments? viii
they ever find out how powerful they
areP A cry comes from the oppressed,
the hungry, from the downtrodden,
from the unfortunate, from the de-
pressed, from men who dispair and
women who weep These are times
when mendicants become revolutionists
when rag becomes banner under
which the noblest and the bravest bat
tie for the right"

for the government TO shoot Iaborers in

for the government to shoot capitalists

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

government for the people means? Has
not capital been supreme monarch long

WHICH SHALL CONTROL?

Shall 1t Be Labor or Capitalism Able
Article From the National Economist
Showing That Capital Has Been Organ
lied For Years and That Only Organized
Labor Can Properly Meet and Contend
Against 1t.
Labor-helpless because of its igno-
rance-has been controlled by capital
during past ages.
Labor-gaining strength through
knowledge-is beginning to demand the
rights which capital has usurped.
Capital-with its usual shortsighted
neutrality-suspicious. to grant the just
and reasonable demands Of labor.
Therefore the battle begins; battle
which capital is unwise to force upon
labor, for although the government is
now in the hands of the capitalists, and
is run in their interest, this will not al
ways be the case
Labor is rousing from the sleep Of
ages, and will soon become aware Of
its strength.
Capital has bound and shackled the
slumbering giant with unjust laws.
Now that he is awaking and shakes his
chains, capital falls back upon bullets
to keep him in subsection.
But when labor fully awakes, exam
ines his chains and finds how weak
they are, and how unjustly they were
placed upon him, he will either remove
them or see to it that capital also is
chained, so that it may not be able to
take unjust advantage of him.
At present, enforcing the law is no
enforcing justice, because the laws are
made by capitalists for capitalists, and
do not give due regard to the rights of
labor. When labor presents itself be-
fore a court of law, it finds the law ar
rayed against it Its rights are dim,
underlined, unrecognized!
Our laws are largely modelled upon
English laws. In England, for centu-
ries, privileged class has been busy
making laws to retain its privileges
and ito keep labor in the dust where
it belongs" American capitalists have
succeeded in fastening many of these
laws upon the American people. Where,

Government Ownership.

1t is amusing to see old, grayheaded
congressman and senators crying out
against the government ownership Of
railroads Most of them make the great
expense of buying them a plausible
argument. Now let's see what those
hypocrites have done Since 1860
thirty-two years-the American con-
gress has appropriated to railroads gov
eminent land to the amount of S,OOO,-
900, 900 arces Much Of this land is val
liable now, and was when given to the
railroads. Put the 5000, 900, 900 acres at
s. per acre, and we have the sum Of
SIS, 900, OOO,O 900, which would more than
pay for all the railroads in the United
States, watered stock and all; for, while
the actual cost of the roads has not
been above S7,OOO,OOO,OOO or $780,
900, 900, they are watered up to perhaps
SIS, 900, 100000. Now give the man

AID FOR HOMESTEAD.

Locked-Out Homestead Men.

Kansas Farmers Sending Provisions to the
Locked-Out Homestead Men.
We are glad to see the farmers of
Kansas sending provisions to the
locked-out Homestead laborers. The
fight at Homestead is only the begin
ming of the battle against organized
labor. What has been done there will
be repeated in detail in every great
plutocratic establishment now employ
ing union labor in the United States.
As fast as success is attained in one
place, the fight will be begun in anoth-
er. In this fight the labor forces in all
departments must stand together.
The plutocratic press in speaking of
these contributions by the farmers of
Kansas, is pleased to regard them as
designed solely for political effect. 1t
is not particularly surprising that re-
publican editors and politicians should
take this view of the situation. They
never act from principle or with any
other motive than to catch votes, and
it is absolutely incomprehensible
to them how the Kansas farmers can do
otherwise. Nor is it surprising that
they should feel some alarm concerning
the effect Of these demonstrations of
fraternity between the different depart
ments of the great labor army. If the
effects should be as they anticipate it
will only be one of the many influences
that are to-day uniting the labor forces
against the party that is responsible for
the conditions that produce lock-outs
and strikes, and all the other discrimi-
nations against American industry. In
the meantime let the aid to Homestead
go forward. 1t is bread cast upon the
waters" Let it go in abundance.

An Implied Threat.

Senator Morgan has contributed a
very able article, in the North Ameri-
can Review, upon the abuses and evils
Of the political convention, showing
that its tendency is to destroy the OBJ
jects sought TO be established by the
constitution-electors chosen by the
popular expression in the different
states The article as a whole is a val
liable addition 10 the literature OF the
day, because it comes from the pen Of a
United States senator, is published in
one Of the highest class periodicals, and
teaches that il is wrong for electors TO
be held, as now, responsible to the die
tates of the party convention. This
doctrine is undoubtedly sound, but its
great significance at this time lies in
the fact that recognition Of it in the
coming electoral college will furnish
adequate excuse TO many democrats to
refuse their vote for Mr.. Cleveland
Let the truth and right and justice pre-.
vail regardless Of any mans personal
ambition. Senator Morgan's article is
timely and important National Econ
omist.
