VILE CONSPIRACY.

day that go to prove beyond reason
able doubt the existence of vile
conspiracy in the United States,
the object of which is the degra-
dation and enslavement of the
working men, the great produc-
ing classes of the country. For years
the encroachments of arrogant capt.
tai, controlled by ignorant, unscrup-
ulous and dishonorable operators,
have been pushed farther and farther
towards a complete and final usurpa-
ton of the economic and social status
of the whole country. Heretofore
these encroachments have been gra-
dual and in a measure SO covered up
by plausible argument, that their adj
vance has not been generally noticed.
Recently, however, aided and strength
ened by corrupt governmental infuen-
ces and venal, sycophantic press,
the thin mask, clumstly worn by ag
gressive capital, has been discarded,
and the fiat has gone forth from the
brazen Threats of the money lords of
the Nation that they are the masters
and that the producers, the great
mass of the American people, must
humble themselves and obey. Last
summer that great government-fed
and government-protected mushroom,
Carnegie, turned loose on his unof-
Tending, intelligent employees, in
order to coerce them to his terms,
that notorious band of cut-throat as
sassins known as the Pinkertons.
When the men acting under that i'm
pulse which at all times should actu-
ate every honorable American citizen,
resisted the assassins, and in resisting
killed some of them, cry of holy
hypocritical horror went up from cap
ital, and it's sycophants, hired and
utterly dishonorable press acting as
it's mouth piece. The men who as
serted their rights as American citi-
zens in thus defending their homes
and their lives, were promptly indict-
ed for murder, while the arch con-
spirator, Carnegie, in his palace home
in far away Scotland, uttered another
whining panegyric on Triumphant
Democracy, and donated few more
of the thousands, stolen and extorted
from the people of Pennsylvania, to
libraries in Europe, thinking thus to
condone the great crimes of robbery,
extortion and murder of which he is
guilty, and for which he should be
hanged. A few days ago the en-
ployees of that great octopus the
Pennsylvania railroad, were notified
that they must sever their connection
with all labor organizations or be dis
charged from the company's service.
This in the dead of winter in an ex-
ceptionally dull year. That the un-
holy fight on silver now being waged
by the dishonest, INSCRIPTIONS owners
and agents and brokers of illgotten
capital, is dark and vile conspiracy,
directed against the miners, wage
earners and producers of the West, is
fully proven by the utterances of
the Eastern newspapers, always the
willing tools and organs of monopoly,
extortion and oppression.
In an editorial article, in recent
issue, the Salt Lake Tribune, in or
der to combat the arguments and
reasoning of the New York Evening
Post, reproduces several extracts from
an article in that delectable sheet, one
of which is here given:
GA fall in price (of silver) would
stimulate invention, might break up
the strong association of mining la
borers, which demand exorbitantly
high wages, and thus reduce the cost,
would cause the railroads to reduce
freights, and might increase consump-
ton abroad"
Comment on this is unnecessary.
The people of the west will under
stand the animus of the whole con-
spiracy, which is to SO reduce wages
as to place the hardworking miners of
the mountains on the level of the i'm
ported pauper and servile labor of the
great cities.
There is but one remedy for the
people and that is through the ballot
box. Let the people of the Missis-
sippi Basin, the South and the West,
