New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1893-08-30

boring men looked in at the windows or
held the horses outside. TWAS apparent
/ " the beginning Of a new epoch. Schol-
arly persons said 50. Carl schnrz took
that view of it. !So,did David a.. Wells
and Edward Atkinson and the
vivacious young president Of Brown
University. Some Of the most
eminent persons in the country who had
! familiarized themselves with the labor
!; ing classes by employing them and read
! ing about them without ever diluting
their knowledge of the subject by con-
tact or conversation with them, We're Of
the opinion that the defeat of this dread
full party that had been taxing the labor
ing man for thirty-two years, until he
was getting three dollars day where he
was only getting one before, was a tri-
umph for the cause of labor. The en-
thus1asm over it lasted long enough to
carry off several large and successful
dinner parties at from SIS to $25 q plate
1t was a great triumph of the laboring
man. 1t promised to relieve him from
taxation.
But presently the whole country began
to think. And then the whole country
began to say: cts all very fine, but, on
the whole, the new epoch is SO ticklish
thatwe Will take in sail.'' The country
has been taking in sail ever since the
new epoch began. The consequence is
that the laboring man is finding himself
in large numbers cut down in wages, Jim
tied in hours, thrown out of Unemployment
in short, brought face to face with star
walton and distress. He turns to the
newspaper that egged him on to the ac-
ton by which he was to relieve himself
from taxation and better himself. What
does he find? Why, last Saturday he see
this newspaper urging in double leads
one Of the great leaders of the party it
has helped drive out of power to clay
aside partisanship' and come to the relief
of distressed country with sound
and disinterested advice. He found
it on Monday asking the en-
inent statesman whom last fall
it was imploring him to vote against as
bad and dangerous man to do thesame
thing give the country his counsel and
leadership. And on Tuesday, what?
Why, on Tuesday "The World' gave the
laboring man who followed it's advice
last fall, to ged rid of taxation he never
felt, and in following it has fallen out of
work and become poor, a stirring article
on "Rice as Diet" Rice, "The World"
says, has fallen from ga to 2 1-2c cents per
pound. It says: "The rice growers are
trying to increase the consumption, and
they should he encouraged" Then it
tells how nutritious it is, how it sustains
the system without heating the blood,
and how people would be "healthier and
possibly Weather if they would adopt
it more generally as part of their daily
diet"
So this, then, is the end Of It. The la
boring man has risen up and relieved
himself of taxation he knew nothing of
until these philanthropists told him
about it aid worked him up to a white
neat over it, and now, he being out of
work, or reduced in wages to a
point where rice at 1-2 cents a pound
seems luxury, the philanthropist says,
cheerily: "Buy rice, old fellow, it's cheap.
It's good IN buildings, and it makes an
excellent dish simply boiled with salt
and butter or milk added. Buy rice ,old
boy, and thank God that by the election
of Grover Cleveland and Democratic
Congress you are going to be relieved of
the tyranny of taxation" Well, it seems
little hard, but there appears to be
| nothing else to do. "The World'' de-
serves credit for finding the way out.
