IN A HOLE.

The other day in response to the es-
teemed but fat-witted IntelligenceT's &C
cusation that the Democratic press was
argely responsible for the act Of the
Anarchist crank BERKNAN, the REGIS
TER said:
Now, we challenge the IntelligCnesr 10
produce one article from a reputable news
paper in the United States that could be
called "lntammatoryn or that counseled
or suggested violence, even by inuendo.
We challenge our neighbor to produce one
article bearing upon the hostile attitudes
Of the men and the Carnegie company that
did not in the most emphatic manner dis
COuntenance violence and urge strict obed-
fence TO the law.
To this plain and direct challenge the
IttClugCJur-,, O9sStus VIZ 4"VS''V" -
.irely, replies:
The Tutsllf7sncer did not charge that they
were reputable newspapers that bad been
engaged in the fiendish work OF trying TO
fufame one class against another. On the
contrary their act brands them as alto
rether disreputable. Under cover OF urg-
ing strict obedience to the law there has
baen the bold accusation that the tariff law
is robbery of the wage-earner for the ben
eft Of the employer, and this has been
shrewdlv coupled with the emphasized IN
uendo that anything that could happen TO
Carnegie and Frick would serve them
right.
The latter part OF this is falsehood,
and we once more challenge the I,lttui-
qencer to substantiate its statement by
quoting from Democratic paper the
utterances it speaks Of.
There certainly has been made the
bold accusation that Republican PRO
lection" is robbery Of the wage Garner
and the people for the benefit Of the
protected monopolists. We repeat the
accusation with emphasis. 1t is the
truth. and has been proven. If it is to
"infame one class against another" to
sneak the truth, then all honest men
who have spoken their minds regarding
the Homestead affair, must plead guilty
TO the Intclltgepcsr's charge.
When they voted for high tariff the
Homestead workmen were given to un-
derstand that it was for their benefit, to
increase, or at least maintain their
wages. The result was that the new
/ 60 per cent. tariff bad hardly gotten
into Full operation before they were
confronted with a choice between 80
per cent. cut 10 their wages or no work.
Democratic newspapers have done nc
more than call attention to this brave
tariff picture.
Is that "in6ammatory?"
Isit not the truth?
The Republican party has made its
bed aud it must lie on it. II it is hart
and tborny no amount of squirming vii
make it easier.
Why does not the Tntelligercer hole
the United States Supreme Court re
sponsible for the murderous assault
upon Manager FBIcK? For severa
wears the following declarations of ou
highest court have been kept before TIT
eyes Of the people:
To Law with one hand the power Of TIT
Government on the property OF the citizen
and with the other 70 oestow 1t upon IA
yored individuals 70 aid private enterprls
and build up private fortunes, IS none n
rrsS ROBBERY because Il IA done under IN
forms OF IdiC aud Is called tdIdtIon.
I This language Of the United State
/ Supreme Court is as strong as,or strong
/ or and far more "incendiary" than any
thing ever uttered by Democrats
| newspaper Why do not the Republican
/ leaders and newspapers denOunce tn
members of this Republican Court a
,.demagogues, " etc?
