ments from which the business Of the
country is suffering arise as much from
evils apprehedned ss from those actu-
ally existing. We may hope, too, that
calm counsels will prevail, that neither
the capitalists nor the wage earners
will give way to unreasoning panic and
sacrifice their property or their inter.
ests under the influence of exaggerated
fears. Nevertheless, every days delay in
removing one eofthe plain and principal
causes of the present state OF. thihgs
enlarges tie mischief already done and
increases the responsibilities of the

ministration is pledged, but while tariff
reform has lost nothing Of its immediate
and permanent Importance, and must, in
the near future, engage the attention Of
Congress, it has seemed to me that the

at once, aud before all other subjects, be
considered by your honorable body.
II earnestly recommend the prompt
repeal Of the provisions of the act passed
July ID, 1890. authorizing the purchase

most of the big demonstration Of the

Starvation Day" and circulars Of a
blood thirsty character will be distrib-
uted among the idle men to rouse them
to action against their "oppressors
The Anarchists say the present distress
was brought about by capitalists merely
as an excuse for cutting down wages
and treading still harder upon the necks
Of the workers.
Threats to carry black and red flags
and banners bearing blood thirsty threats
against the existing order are made
The foes Of law and order are, how
ever, not very nu uerous or strong at
this time, but if any such demonstration
occurs the police will break up the whole
affair. They declare that when it comes
to the demonstration it will be shown
that very few Of the idle workmen will
turn out, and if they do they will be
orderly
Some Of the labor leaders declare they
will have no Ansrchistic demonstration
and will expel from the line any who at.
tempt to use the demonstration for the
propaganda of unlawful utterances
