"My Measured"

A measure has been prepared on the lines
in my message.-President Cleye-
and's Address to Congress, Dec. 4, 1893.
: sing the song of protection,
The greatest, the best on earth.
A blessing it's been to this section
Until it gave rise to the birth

Work in abundance it gave us.
Good wages and cheap living too.
But Grover then came to amaze US

We were happy, contented and rich,
But he thought that we wanted "a

! Passing by the display Of ignorance
and the touching reference to the
kind hearted plutocrats who lose money
rather than make labor suffer, let Us see
about the American flag sentiment
in the reverend gentleman S remarks. Is
it good. Americanism to tamely submit
to starvation at the dictation Of brutal
coal barons and lords Of Pullman, who
must have their princely dividends re-.

is observed that as the dull times in

barons become more hoggsh and arro-

Like the Rev. Bristol, the bosses think
such condition not suited for strike,

The prime object for which the con-
vention Of railway men was called was
to adopt platform covering the legis-
lative demands Of the railway organiza-
tions The resolutions adopted covered
this point thoroughly by setting forth
the attitude Of the employees organiza-
tions toward the public and toward the
corporations for which their members
work. The convention asked for legisla
ton which would afford greater securi-
ty to life and limb in railway service
and also laws protecting the railway
employees rights Of citizenship Judge
Jenkins was condemned for issuing Gun
American writs, = and Judges Caldwell
and Reiner were thanked ''for giving
labor organizations just and proper rec
ognition in the courts But believe
that the most. important part of the
work done by the convention was the
adoption Of that part Of the platform
which will help toward the unifcation
Of the labor movement. When unity is
accomplished, there will be no trouble
about legislation.

A few days ago the protest of Germany

judges to boast that they have never ex-
erclsed their power to set verdicts aside,
although the exercise of this right is
sometimes indispensable TO prevent the
miscarriage of justice. Judge Dillon
holds that no case oughtfo be submitted to

weak that q verdict in his favor ought to
be set aside by the court. Judge Dillon
holds that IF the courts will clearly in

charged as cured. The jury fairly decided

common sense, reasoned that a woman
who knows enough to murder three per-

president Of France to death and tries to
escape, knows that he is doing wrong, and

THE Asrr-orrros BILL.

The anti-option bill advocated by Demo
cratic Congressman Hatch, Of Missouri,
proceeds on the assumption that great
many sales Of wheat, cotton, ETC., are
made without any corresponding pur-
chases, and that the excess Of sales over
purchases causes a decline in the market
price of these articles.
This 10 very stupid Bill. and If 1t ever
passes congress will be sure to be vetoed
BY the president So far as dealing in
options is concerned. nobody defends that.
To have a Law prohi biting dealing In
futures would be deletenous to business
interests. During the war bill was
passed prohibiting all trading OF gold and
greenbacks unless 1t we're accompanied by
the immediate manual delivery of the
things and unless IL were done at the private
Offices Of traders-there must be no trading
at an exchange or common meeting place.
The result of this was that gold rose by
leaps and jumps. and within fsw days
congress repealed this anti-option bill
without debate. Then gold went back to
its former price, or something near IL. and
there were no more anti-option bills dur
ing the war. As matter of fact. every
great movement upon the corn, cotton or
wheat exchanges has put money in the
farmers pocket. Sometimes the engineers
of speculative rise have been broken,
but the farmer, as rule. has marketed
his wheat and corn at higher price. so
that the sufferers by the corner in wheat
and corn and pork were not the farmers.
but the gamblers themselves.

lence, or anything which looks toward
Iawlessness and violence. would arouse at
once the resentment of the American peo-
pie and the strike would fail utterly.
