THE REAL ISSUE.


Not q Question Of Hours and Wages. But
the Right OF Labor to Organize Il at
stake Labor Must FOrtify Itself ON the
Last Battle Ground.
Organized labor cannot any longer
close its eyes to the nature Of the con-
fiict upon which it is about to enter. It
is not question Of hours, or wages or
any other question Of minor Importance
or mere detail, but the stake at issue is
the very right of existence Of labor or
CARNATIONS and their recognition BY
employing manufacturers and operat-
ors. AS the Cleveland Plain Dealer
says:
The war now being waged upon organized la
Dor is fight against the force which has
brought wages up to their present standard and
is alone holding them there. The Carnegie
company Is willing to take back its old men,
but they must go back as individuals, not as
members OF the Amalgamated association. It
Is the test OF a long contemplated and deep laid
scheme to crush the power OF the association.
That accomplished, the men will be helpless
and must accept any wages offered This is the
real issue at Homestead
Thus it can be seen that every trades
unionist is vitality interested in the out.
come of this terrible conflict, which will
be fight to the finish, waged with des-
perate tenacity on both sides. The New
York Morning Advertiser says:
It is very clearly demonstrated now, If it was
not before, that the fight at Homestead has
but one purpose, the emancipation Of the Car
negie steel works from contact or dealing with
the Amalgamated Association of Steel Work
ers. In other words, it is the same fight that
the New York Central railway made two years
against
ton OF wages as of independence
In the very outset Of the Homestead struggle
Manager F'rick announced that no union man
should ever again work in the Homestead
mills. The new scale appears to have been the
pretext for bringing on the fight Now Jones'
the 1ronmonger OF Pittsburgh, has taken up
the contest and declared his independence of

LOUIS HANSON, Sec'y.

President Loucks, of the national
alliance, has been speaking in West
Virginia and old Virginia. He gives
very fattering reports from each of
those states. He attended the state
convention of old Virginia, where en-
thusiasm and ardent hope prevailed.
He mentioned thata striking though
familiar figure in the convention was
that OF Col. R. Beverly, a presidential
elector at large, an elderly gentle
man, but very active in the work.
There were fourteen members-ffteen
with himself-of Col. Beverly's family
in that convention, members of the
peoples party and all voters. Four
OF them were his sons and ten were
nephews. Can any one give better
showing than that? Ifso, we should
like to hear from them.

FARMERS ALLIANCE.
ALLIANCE NOTES.

If money was robbed Of its interest
drawing attribute, it would lose its
power to absorb the wealth produced
by productive labor.
"Exploiters' and promoters" issue
bonds and mortgage the future labor of
sons OF toll Why should not the peo-
pie loan capital to labor itself upon its
bonds.
One days subsistence, free access to
natural opportunities and a daily mar
ket for its product, is all labor needs
to make it independent, not of capital,
but of capitalists.
Why should labor, which produces
all wealth, grovel in abject poverty and
toll for bare subsistence, while the
drones, who toll not, fare sumptuously
and are clad in purple and fine linen?
How can the nation thrive when
the people are compelled, by reason Of
debt, to pay higher rate of interest
for their medium of exchange than the
per cent. made by them in the pursuit
of their calling?- Exchange.
The real fight to-day is within the
lines of hired men. Capital pays some
hired men very high salaries for no
other service than to beat down other
hired men in their wages.

There are two kinds of protective

Scarce money means cheap labor;

favor. The new party is the only party
favoring money.-Missouri World.
The first donation of land was made
by democrats There were about 3d.

to 1851. The Union Pacific grants, the
largest ever made, were given by the
republicans, but only two democrats
voted against them in the house. Great

The most pitiable aspect of the
Homestead trouble is to see men so
eager to work that they take the bread
from the mouths of their fellow-men;
they enter into ignominious contracts
with the employers who treat them
like so many head Of cattle; they work
under laws that would disgrace peni-
Tertiary. The most pitiable? Yes
The men who submitted to a lockout
rather than to accept unjust conditions
of work; the families that have been
turned homeless on the hills of Penn
sylvania; the murdered of Homestead
in their graves, and the widows and or
phans who mourn for them-all these
are less to be pitied than the men whom
pressure of want has driven to accept
the places of the locked out working
men.-National Waterman.

upon manufactured products, but BY
effective protection against the impor-
tation of the pauper labor itself. Labor
must be rewarded with the product Of
its own industry. Wealth belongs to
him who creates it," and avarice and
greed must not be permitted to rob him
of the fruits of his toll These things
can only be secured by legislation, and
such legislation can be secured only by
the political cooperation of the labor
forces of the country. The sooner la
Dor organizations recognize this fact,
and cease their strikes, except at the
polls, the sooner will they realize an
improvement in their condition.-Tope-

Worn Out.

The politicians of the south as well
as here in the north, try the bloody
shirt and every other method of en-.
rendering hate and prejudice. But
there as well as here their sectional
cries are worn out. Brother b f..
Arthur writes from Rockdale, Texas:
THE political pot begins to boil
here. The old party press and Their
speakers begin to faunt the bloody
shirt, but it is worn out. The war i.

THE TOOL OF PLUTocRAcY.
The Militia is q Standing Menace to tn
Liberties of the Peonle.

The Militia Is Standing Menace to the
Liberties of the People.
Great excitement prevails in this city
among the workingmen and radicals Of
all shades of opinion over the revolu-
tionary aspect of the labor movement.
The facts that the troops in New York,
Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Idaho and
Wyoming have been called out to pro-
tect the capitalist system in it's unjust
privileges marks a momentous crisis in
the history Of this country. The volks-
Zeitung truly says: ''The spirit of
Homestead is abroad in the land" In
this assertion the producers of wealth
should steadily bear in mind that the
calling out of the military force is usu-
ally done under false pretenses. Thus
it was in Idaho, Wyoming and Pennsyl-
vania. When Mr.. Prick caused the
gathering of the militia in Homestead he
sttaed he had four or five thousand men
ready to go to work as soon as the state
would protect them. Under that plea
the mobilization of the whole militia
took place. Nearly two months have
since passed, and the mills at Home
stead are still short of hands, although
lies and receptions have abundantly
been practiced to inveigle the unwary
1t appears that the strikes in Buffalo
have produced similar developments
The militia becomes more and more a
tool of the greedy plutocrats.
Never in the history of industrialism
has there been such utter discontinue
as the failure of the ignorant tyrant
Frick to make steel without skilled la
bor Forts have been erected, mercen-
aries hired to murder, law ignored,
press bribed, a credulous public insult
ed with the Bergman humbug, armies
marshaled and millions spent in ruin
and folly. But no steel has yet been
made at Homestead. Could Carnegie
and Frick gracefully retreat by &C.
knowledging the organization of steel
workers undoubtedly they would do so.
The time seems not to have been ripe
for the international millionaire con-
spiracy against organized labor, and
probably a scheme to bring on a Eu-
ropean and American war, pretend to
be whipped and surrender our iron
clads would work better. Behring sea
and the fishery questions are on hands
and always ready.
The king hater of organized labor in
this valley is viuainous countenanced
drawn steel manufacturer, one McCool,
once blacksmith, small hotel keeper,
and finally in the steel finishing bust
ness. This illiterate parvenue has dis
tinguished himself by discharging from
his works an educated mechanic, the
son of Prof Broome, for the high crime,
of collecting money for the families of
some poor laborers who are out with
the strikers of Carnegie's mill. ALI
these acts are blessings in disguise,
awakening the masses to peoples party
principles. Pittsburgh has organized
fine club, with $22,0O subscribed on
the night of opening. They will un-
doubtedly sweep the county. Wonders
are daily upon us. It is certainly revo-
luton. Weaver and Field may carry

LOYAL LABOR LEAGUE.

The Trades Unionists of Denver, Col.
Prepare to Use Their Ballots Where
They Will do the Most Good.
The movement which has been inau-
gurated in this city to make the labor
vote an instrument in securing labor's
rights should be espoused by all classes
The great West. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1889-18??, 1892-09-23

of workingmen. That vote has been
too long frittered away and wasted
through interested political agencies,
while aggressions upon the just rights
of labor have been augmenting.
1t is high time that wage-earners
turn the cold shoulder to partisan pol
itics, from which they have gained
nothing but betrayal, and use their
great political influence to protect
themselves from the sordid designs of
conspiring wealth. The lesson of re-
cent labor troubles in the east ought to
make an impression. The working
millions have in the ballot reserve force
enough to bring corporate greed to
reasonable terms and put an end to the
overbearing insolence that is now al
most the uniform response to every
offer of compromise or arbitration as a
means of settling economic differences
Unfortunately the requirements Of
trades unions, for the furtherance Of
routine business. having excluded pol
itics as distracting partisan element,
the effect has been to nullify the polit-
ical force Of labor, as distinct factor
in promoting and protecting the inter-
ests of wage-earners. The purpose OF
the Loyal Labor league, recently organ.
lied in Denver, is to correct that fatal
deficiency and terminate the wretched
policy of trusting labor's aspirations to
partisan politicians in the pay of cor
porations whose aims antagonize the
just rights of working people.
Should the Loyal Labor league spread
and become national, it would facilitate
the emancipation of labor in the United
States as no other means can. Labor
is now practically at the mercy of cap
ital and would be wholly so but for the
possibilities of freeman's bal OF.

That Picture

OF man. on the fifth page, and the
article with it, came from the A. N.
Kellogg plant, and is, we presume,
from their splendid alliance editor,
George G. Ward, of Kansas City. We
use nearly page of his work every
week in Kellogg plates, and when the
plates contained this article and the
cut it was a great surprise. The insti-
tute work is truly great work. It
called out audiences in the midst of the
worst season ever known in Mime
sofa. In the heat of redhot campaign
we modify the institute, using but one
day for eachfnstitute. Great West.

to own up, but true to our Adamio

THEY OWN THE COURTS.

The Railroads VIII Soon Dictate Terms
the People Will BE Compelled to Ac-
cept.
Judge Mccormick, of the United
States court, at Dallas, Tex, rendered
a decision in the case of the railroads
against the Texas railroad commission,
deciding every point in favor of the
companies and granting an injunction
against the commission exactly as
prayed for.
This is considered one of the most i'm
portant decisions in years, and it will
probably put an end to the high-handed
dOings of state railroad commissions in
general.
In April, 1891, the Texas legislature
appointed a railroad commission which
began to establish rates reducing tariffs
to such degree that all the roads
claimed that they were doing business
at a serious loss Actions were brought
by trustees of the mortgages of several
railroads against railroad companies
themselves and the Texas railroad COM
mission, asking for an injunction, show
ing that the rates made by the commits
sion were unreasonable and praying
that they be restrained from continuing
such rates in effect or making new rates
which were not reasonable, restraining
the commissioners and shippers from
bringing actions, claiming forfeitures
as provided in the act.
After full argument the injunction
was granted exactly as prayed for. This
decision protects and is guarantee to
railroads and holders of their securities
that state commissioners cannot estab-
lsh and enforce unreasonable rates.
