The Socialist Labor party held meet
ing In Hassan Street Hall last evening.
There were about 200 present. State organ
Herbert n. Casson OF Boston, who
the interests Of Socialism lie told
what the Socialists had done for
the unemployed of Boston and said that
his majesty, Governor Greenhalge of Mas
sachusetts, cared no more Tor the laborer
than he did for the snap OF his fingers.
The Socialists are the enemies of Anarchy.
Today you will find women taking the
place OF mon, and referred to Professor
Garner who went toAfrica and locked him
self In an iron cage in the woods to listen
TO the monkeys talk, and had partially
mastered the monkey language so that he
could talk TO them, and had brought one
OF them TO England, good-sized gorilla,
who ran errands and done other work for
him. In short time the manufacturers
would be sending TO Africa after monkeys
TO run two, three and four looms. The
machinery OF this country should not be-
long to a few. IL should be ours. You
send lawyers TO Washington, foxes TO Leg
isiate for lot OF geese. There should be
two governors of Rhode Island, one TO
represent capital the other labor. Labor
is like great giant who has big club,
but does not know how TO use il.
against the Prohibitionists whom he
considered TO be lot OF humbugs who
say TO the workingnan, "You had better
be dead than drunk" II is pitiful that we
have had TO go TO the Legislature to ask
for 9-hour day. We ought to have
ting. (Great applause.) IL you want
anything you should ask for all
of ii at once, and probably you win get q
slice OF it. The two great parties are hope
lessly enslaved TO the money power.
Every single President we have had in
this country has been either n lawyer or a
soldier. The soldier for force. The
lawyer for freud. There is not more
detestable class than the lawyers.
Sometimes we get good one
such as Wendell Phillips and perhaps one
or two more. lie believed that before long
there would be a great many socialists IN
jail. IL is not the fault OF the capitalists
Government is building fortresses
around Hawaii for fear Lilioukalani
would elopc with Grover Cleveland.
Great applsuse.) There is not enough
education among the workingmen of this
country. In New Zealand, there are "a
labor representatives to 20 of capital in
the legislature. There has never been an
obstacle in the path OF labor,
but we have overcome il in
the end. The workingman is away
behind in religious and political progress.
Thirty years ago itI:was possible for a
workingman to become an owner himself,
but today ii is impossible. II you submit
to a cut-down today you will have to
stand another tomorrow. The Socialists
believe in free trade and we also believe in
protection. Socialism must come, either
that or anarchy. There was time when
this great world of ours was a ball of fire
and IL will not be long before the work.
ingman will see that Socialism is better
than capital.
AT this point the chairman appointed
two men to pass around the hat to pay
expenses. The Socialists claim 100 votes
in the Third district OF tho Tuird Ward.
