Farmers Tribune: Blood poisoning
If the worst kind is what affects the
patient and yet DIR. Cleveland still
Insists on administering tariff, the
zane old nauseate that quackery has
been stuffing the patient with for
years Better get Western doctor
Ind change the medicine to solution
II silver and full legal tender green
backs, we'll mixed.
Chicago Free Trader: Whatever the
avs they should not be to enable
6hvlock 20 take more than his pound
pf flesh-and the poor should be pro-
)ected by exemption and stay laws.
Yes, and the poor should have help
rom the government, if necessary, to
ave their home nest. Government
,oans, long time, three per cent, ex-
smption and stay laws-everyth thing
md almost anything to protect the
weak from the strong.
The Vanguard, Chicago
Oh, God. that bread should be so dear
And flesh and blood so cheap!
These words are we'll justified by
The awful conditions that have been
uncovered by the Investigating COM
nittee. Eight hundred sweaters
lens in tenement houses were found
b one section of the city, a center
,ection whence the retributive air
nay in any hour of fate sweep the
lever laden germs of pestilence to
svery corner of our city.
Journal of the Knights OF Labor:
The Hartford Examiner notes the
absence of Democratic declarations
that free trade or tariff reform is to
be the cause of higher wages to labor,
and also the Indifference of the Re-
publicans about the danger of Ameri-
san labor falling to the pauper level
Of Europe. Well, the old cry has
yerved it's purpose, and won't be much
heard till it is needed to fool
Eudgeons with at the next election.
The Progressive Farmer: When the
Wall street banker gets into a close
place he calls on the United States
treasurer, and heavy deposits of the
peoples money are made at once and
bhe banks are asked not even to say
"thank you sir, Mr.. Treasurer. But
when the treasurer of the United
States gets letter to near a point Of
need and calls on Wall street, the re-
ply is: ''Give us interest bearing
bonds, Mr. Treasurer, or you need
pot squirt your eye at our gold. Bus
mess, you know"
The Farmers Tribune: Paul Hux-
ley of England says that England
can now produce as much in six
months as the entire working force
Of the world could in a year one hun
bred years ago. Mulhill the great
ttatistician says England has trebled
her wealth, France Has trebled hers
and the United States has multiplied
hers six fold within sixty years. These
facts tell their own story. The ques-
lion of production has been solved.
Equitable distribution is the great
question of to-day.
National Watchman: There are few
more self-evident facts than the peo-
pie are watching their representa-
tives in congress. Never before in
The history of this nation have the
people examined and analysed the
past record of congressman and SEN
stors as they are doing at the present
lime. Some of those congressman
who depended upon the ignorance and
prejudice of their constituents for
their reelection are now repenting
of their folly and wondering why
they were so blind as not to have
seen it before.
Labor Leader: What we would
ike TO see and what we shall strive
Tor as long as we live, unless it is
sooner accomplished, is the adoption
of the initiative and referendum il
legislation. The people themselves
ire the proper persons to approve OF
veto any measure that may be pro
posed. This is a subject that should
receive the earnest attention of the
wage-earners. Presidents, congress
men, and state legislators can be
bribed, but the entire population of {
community affected by proposed
law can be trusted with the DISPOSE
ton of it.
Southern Toiler: The rules of the
lower house OF congress are SO framed
shat one man can filibuster and blocl
every wheel of legislation. The tim,
of congress is short, and the enemie.
Of the anti-option bill filibustere,
10 prevent it reaching vote. Xii
gore of Texas, in order t
kill time demanded that the Who'll,
house journal be read, including
every petition; and he even had the
titles of the members names called
to help ''string out" This kind o
patriotism (?) is sanctioned by a
least two great daily newspapers o
this city. What do the people thinl
of such child's play in the congress 0
the United States-a play on tn
peoples time and money to defea
their will!
