Sometimes the question is asked
what do you mean by 1.-the blacklist?
l know of no better way to explain it
tn an TO give my experience with it; for
l once came in close contact with it. l
will preface my remarks by saying the
blacklist, as practiced in the United
States by the two old parties. Republi-
can and Democrat. is one of the most
accused things that was ever used to
coerce the mechanic. But, however,
let the following speak for itself.
During Clevelaed's first national
campaign, was foreman in the Wa
bash railroad shops at Moberly, Mo,
having been advanced to that position
from II lathe turner. l was at this
time getting salary of 81. 80 per day.
On the morning of the national cleo
ton, the general manager came around
and ordered me to take my men to
the polls between 10 and IL O'Clock
and vote them "this ticket" handing
me at the same time the Republican
ticket. [ looked at it and refused to
do so. He then said: elf you do not
you may be sorry for it,
Nearly all the men, especially those
having families to support, went down
and voted. Myself with some others
waited until noon and then voted to
suit ourselves.
Saturday afternoon came around
and we drew our salary, l, with few
others, was notified that we were not
needed any longer. demanded a rea-
son and was told that work was too
slack. This l knew to be false for
we were crowded with work having
on hand the construction of four or
five new engines, besides the repairing
of several old ones. Sunday l went to
Trenton, Mo-. and on Monday made
application for work in the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific raiiroud shops.
The manager asked my name, after
giving it to him he consulted Il small
blank book he had and said he was
crowded with men.
A gentleman whose name was Sax
went with me. He told them his name
was Brown and he got work. but for
only II week fol- he was recognized and
fired. then went to Chicago and got
work for month, but was recognized
by a ''scab" and fired. had the same
kind of success in st. Louis, Pittsburg
and Charleston.
In the north they talk about the in
timidating of the negro of the south.
was once in Little Rock on ciuy
election day and saw II white man
make two negroes vote the way he
wanted them to. In some instances
such has to be done or all offices would
be held by ignorant negroes, who
know not how to read or write.
Compare the Republican blacklist
with the Democratic 6-shooter. You
who have been voting so long with
the Republican party, you who speak
in such glowing terms of the purity of
the Republican party, the putty of its
administration and the purity of the
ballot box.
What do you think of the American
blacklistP Do you think it shows
purity? Do you think it is honorable
to tell mechanic, Here you vote
this ticket or you may be sorry for it.
The mechanic has his choice-the sup
port of his family on one hand and de-
grading himself to vote as he is told.
on the other hand, by asserting his
rights and voting to suit himself, the
loosing of his position and bringing
his family from plenty to penury.

ContractIon of National Banks.

The Chicago Inter-Ocean says:
combined capital of $3.50, ZOO, 900 and
circulation outstanding of only 1882
100000. They are privileged under
the law to issue about 1921 ZOO, 900.
If national banks were privileged
(under the law to issue to the full
amount of the bonds pledged for their
redemption, it would be perfectly
safe, and would add large to the vol
ume of currency"
The Atchison Champion, quoting
the above article says:
why not tell the truth. that the
great trouble with the law is, that it
does not compel the national banks to
issue bills for 80 per cent of their
capital? If such had been the law,
the national bank circulation could
not have been contracted more than
$100.000,O00 and the national banks
of the city of New York. would today
have a circulation of 1921 900, 900 in
stead of 1852, 100000 The great de-
feet of the national bank law is it's al
lowing the banks to expand or con-
tract the circulation of national bank
notes. 1t delegates power to the
banks only vested by the constit tuition
in congress.
Here are two Republican papers
letting the cat out of the bag as to
the money panic. Instead of the
Sherman law being to blame, the
banks OF Boston. New York and other
great money cenUers backed by Eng
land and the adm inistration have for
ced this panic and laid the blame to
the Sherman silver purchase law in
order so secure its repeal.
We have always contended that the
objection to national banks was their
power to contract the currency, with
out the consent of the people, thus
shrinking all values, and then expand
their currency and allow their friends
to rush in and buy up deprecated sec
urities, stocks and staple commo-
dties.
This makes the government of the
United States Il party to huge swind-
ling scheme to plumber the American
people and put it into the Golfers of
millionaires. This with the Mckinley
law is the main cause of the aggrega-
ton of the wealth of the country in
the hands of the few.
1t is robbery under the forms of law
and is meaner, more dastardiy and
outrageous than highway robbery or
train and bank holdups. Because
the robber boldly takes his chances of
imprisonment and death. But these
money hoidups after they have rob-
bed the people dodge behind the
shield of law and are safe, the govern
ment stretching out its arm to protect
them.
The Champion admits that with
law compelling the issue up to 80 per
cent. that even then they would be
able to contract the currency $780,
100000, and that without this law
they can contract the currency four
or five hundred million of dollars
Is it not about time that the Ameri-
can people should say to these pirates:
Come to judgment" Give an account
of thy stewardship, for thou mayest be
no longer steward Speak out,
Americans!

The Heather Chinee.

Colonel r. G. IngersoI, in discussing
the Chinese question in the North Ameri-
can Rerieio for July, says:
These Chinese lahorers are inoffensive,
peaceable, and law abiding. They are
honest, keeping their contracts, doing as
they agree. They are exceedingly indus
trious, always ready to work, and always
giving satisfaction to their employers.
They do not interfere with other people.
They cannot become citizens. They have
no voice in the making or the execution OF
the laws. They attend to their own blsl-
ness. They have their own ideas, customs,
religion and ceremonies,-abouta as foolish
as our own; but they do not try to make
converts nor TO force their dogmas on 9TH
ers. They are patient, accomplishing
stoical, and philosophical. They earn
what they can, giving reasonable value fol
the money they receive, and as a rule
when they have amassed few thousand
dollars, they go back to their own country
They do not interfere with our ideas, oul
ways or customs. They are silent workers
toiling without any object, except to dc
the work and get their pay. They DO moi
establish saloons and run for Congress
Neither do they combine for the purpose
OF governing others. OF all the people OF
our soil they are the least meddlesome
Some of them smoke opium, but the opium
smoker does not beat his wife. Some o
them play games of chance, but they are
not members of the stock exchange. They
eat the bread that they earn; they neither
beg nor steal, but they are of no use t.
parties or politicians except as they be
come fuel to supply the flame of prejudice
They are not citizens and cannot vote
Their employers are about the only friend
