all the evils that the industrial classes

all the evils that the industrial classes
have to contend with.
1t has been largely the fault of the
workingmen themselves that they are
not more prosperous; that they are to-
day deprived of inany privileges they
ought to enjoy; that they are yearly
losing power and influence in the affairs
OF government. Composing a majority
of the voters of the land, they have per-
mitted themselves to be deceived and
misled. Their votes have been cast for
the high.taxing party under the mis-
taken idea that protective tariff pro-
notes home industry and increases the
price OF labor. They have tried that
system for generation. and yet they
are not prosperous. L hey find that
protection doubles and trebles their ex-
penses while it adds but moiety TO
their wages. They find that as the years
go by the employing class becomes
richer and more arrogant and oppress-
i've, while the toilers are oppressed by
onerous burdens, and kept poor by taxes
Imposed upon articles of common me-
cessity. They pay double prices for
their cheap clothing and for the tools
with which they labor; they pay tax
upon every article of necessity or orna-
ment that is used in their homes. 1t is
no wonder that they do not prosper
under these conditions. 1t is no wonder
that they are kept day after day and
year after year with their noses to the
grindstone, SOWING that others may
reap.
The true remedy Is rebellion; the true
weapons of rebellion are ballots. Re-
bellion against the Ubiquitous protective
tariff system is the duty or every WORK
ingman who is solicitous for his own
prosperity and that of the class to
which he belongs. He has in the past
frequently cast his vote for the party of
high taxes, relying upon their promises
of an increase in wages. He has been
deceived. Wages have been constantly
decreasing, and will continue to de-
crease until industry is firmly fixed
upon basis of eauity-untll the work
ingman casts his ballot against. policy
that has been constantly adding to his
burdens without making correspond
ing addition to his wages.
Ballots in the hands of Intelligent
workingmen are more potent as weap-
ons of otfenSe and defense than bullets.
Against them the system Of tariff rob-
berry cannot stand.

SPANISH TREATY.
Its Consideration Creates a Sensa'

Its Consideration Creates a Sensa-
ton in the German Reichstag.
BERLIN, Dec. 14.-There was much
excitement in the reichstag when the
Spanish treaty of commerce was intro
duced for its second reading. Herr
Manteuffel attacked the general and
commercial policy of the government.
whose treatmeut,he said,o the agricult-
ural classes encouraged agrarian aglta-
ton.
Chancellor Won Caprivi made vigor-
GUS reply, during which he said that 1t
was true that the Russian treaty would
be made at the expense of husbandry,
inasmuch US a grain-producing state
must receive concessions through it.
The chancellor added that he
only opposed the method of agita-
ton resorted to by the Farmers
Alliance and asserted that it was not
conservative to appeal to the majorities
against the authority OF the govern
ment. The latter, the chancellor as
serted, m ust seek support from the
large portions of the population, and
not from any individual party, and it
would take support where it could
find it.
A remark of Chan cellor ven Caprivi
to the effect that the deputies should
not be Influenced by the masses caused
decided sensation. Abiding to the
currency, the chancellor said that it
was impossible to take any step in that
direction unless England joined in it.
Both the Spanish and Seryian treaties
passed second readings by large major
tiles,

were capable of nnding the remedies
and applying them.
The address of Mr.. Sovereign was a
thoughtful and earnest document. He
very truly said:
mo people have been SO industrious
as the American people. By reason OF
our Industry and ingenuity we have at
tracted the attention of the entire world ::
but, with all our industry, we have NOT
shortened the hours Of labor nor in
creased the comforts of life. There is a
wheel loose somewhere in our social
machinery, and the rich are growing
richer and the poor poorer, and there is

the poor in favor of the rich"

of the workingman can best be secured

a CLOSED BANK.
Owners of the Concern skip Out
Owing the Depositors $4,000.


RUsHvILLE, Neb., Dec. 14.-Nothing
more definite is known of the affairs of
the Bank of Rushville, closed Tuesday
night, than was given out at that time.
1t is stated. however, that the bank owes
depositors, mainly farmers, in the
neighborhood of $4,000. There is much
bitter feeling among these men, and all
day Wednesday there were angry NUT
reIings and talk of what might
happen. Today the crowd gathered
around the closed doors of the
bank and threatened to force
an entrance. Nothing happened,
but later Messrs. May and Williams,
chief owners of the bank, were assaulted
by mob of angry creditors. Friends
came to the rescue, and for time very
serious affray seemed impending. Re-
volvers were drawn, and every
thing looked favorable for
general melee when buggy
drove up and May and Williams jumped
in and drove away across the prairie.
Where they went to is not known.
1t is known that May has been trying
for some months to get his money out of
the bank and sever his connection
with its affairs. Many of the depositors.
say he has used unfair measures in Sc
curing this result. At all events there
is strong sentiment against him, and
his return may cause trouble. May has
