The Borden trial disclosed the con-
spiracy of detectives and officers of
the state to convict an innocent per-
son, failing to find guilty one.
Disclosures coming from Home
stead reveal conspiracy between de-
tectives and accomplices to convict
Dempsey and other labor leaders of
poisoning non-union men, in order
to divert attention from the outrage
committed by the Carnegie works
in constituting imported ruffians
state militia. Gallagher, the
wretch who swore that Dempsey,
district master workman of the
Knights of Labor, paid him to poison
enemies of the strikers, now swears
that the detectives filled him for
more than a month with liquor, kept
him away from his friends, threaten
ed to hang him for murder, and to
do other dreadful things if he did
not implicate Dempsey as chief of
the poisoning plot. He admits that
there was no poison used and none
suggested. Dempsey has been serv-
ing a prison sentence for the crime

mit.-Chicago Herald.
The Borden trial, like every other
trial of the state against suspect,
discloses the disgraceful aspect of
so-called justice. 1t is generally
supposed that a states attorney oc-
cupies his position by virtue of his
legal ability and to sustain his rep
utation as lawyer he must convict,
at all hazards, whether innocent or
guilty, the unfortunate person who
may fall into his merciless hands.
Our criminal Jurisprudence is one
of the most barbarous and disgrace
full things of so-called civilization,
and-so far as the attitude of the
state toward it's euspects is concern
ed-requires an overhauling no less
radical than a revolution. This
charge must receive its impulse
from outside the socalled courts of
justice.

THE M ASS e 8.
a Fearless, Aggressive, Progressive
Advocate of All Reforms.
LOSS OF CONFIDENCE.
+ HI e M A 8 b e 8.

The primary cause OF the present
demoralized condition of business,
the fnanciers tell us. is Gloss OF
confidence That has always been
the cry when capital was devising a
scheme to rob the masses. When
the question is put, "Who has lost
confidence ?" we are told, Capital
HAS," and that it will be necessary
to legislate few millions out of the
pockets of the people and into the
vaults of capital before it will get
calm and confident again and quit
raising financial hell over the whole
country.
Capital "lost confidence" during
the war, and had to be paid 100 per
cent. profit on every dollar furnished
the country that had rendered it
possible for capital to exist.
Capital "lost confidence" before
the Credit-strengthening act was
demanded, and by which several
millions were stolen from the people
and appropriated by capital.
Capital "lost confidence" before
silver was demonetized, and before
Bill Mckinley revised the tariff, and
now, when it desires to stop coin
age, issue interest bearing bonds
and force on the country single
gold standard, thereby nearly doub-
ling it's ill-gotten gains at the ex-
peuse of every property holder in
the nation, it raises the same old Cry
of Gloss of confidence, "and declares
nothing can restore it but legislat-
i've changes that will make every
boarded gold dollar worth twice it's
face or, what is equivalent, depre-
ciate values till one dollar will buy
as much as two will now. The
people need not delude themselves
with the hope that the scheme will
fail. Capital never fails except
when revolution takes it by the
throat and demands that the people
have their own.
The silver men talk bravely; the
Populists oppose it to man; the
Western and Southern press de-
nounced it with laudable unanimity,
but tits in vain. Every day the

The Denver Road insists on the
demonetization of gold in the event
of the demonstration of silver.
We're wild yez, Brother George.
The demonetiGation-of-gold idea is
rapidly gaining ground, too.

Wall street octopus reaches ten
tacle further west or south, and
drags in congressman, an influen'
tial newspaper or board of trade
Every day, "loss of confidence,
caused by silver purchases" is din
ned in the ears of the people till
they are stunned beyond the capa-
bility of reasoning, and content
themselves with the thought that
Wall streets nefarious scheme can
never be accomplished-but it will
he. never the less. What does it
mean when a convention of gold
hoarders meet in New York city
and resolve that "FUNDs MUST BE
RAISED TO MEET AND OVERCOME THE
SILVER MEM? That means whole
sale purchase of press, Legislators,
boards of trade and every one who
occupies conspicuous public posi-
ton, if cash in hand or political pre-
ferment will do the work. This is
the deepest, the blacklist and most
unholy of all conspiracies against
the common people. 1t is also the
boldest and most impudent in its
devilish demands. All rights and
every interest are ignored except
those of the millionaires, bankers
and spectators in money and bonds.
When capital contemplates steal
off the people, it gets up financial
furry in Wall street, and the secre-
tary of the treasury, servant of
the people, Immediately sneaks away
and consults the robbers to ascertain
what he can do to HELP ALONG THE
STEAL. Did you ever hear of his
consulting with body of promi-
nent farmers who gave him his posi-
ton, to know what he could do to
PREVENT the steal l think not.
The doom of silver is sealed.
Gold is to be the tyrant that will hold
every industry in its villainous
grasp, and crush lite and hope out
of the common people with it's in
satiable demands. The only remedy
is to DEMONETIZE GOLD!
Clip the tentacles of the remorse-
less deviLfsh, and render him as
harmless as half-grown clam.
If capital has "lost confidence"
ON account of silver, let 1t know that
the people have lost confidence on
ACCOUNT OF GOLD. Make it ctm-
modify, and it will cut no more fig
ure in the financial world than dia-
monds. Give us Legal ltender paper
that will "ham-string" capital, after
