The Great StrIke.

While every pulsation of our
heart beats in sympathy for the OPP
pressed and lily paid laboring men
of this country, we cannot endorse
lawlessness in any form. The fun
damental theory of this government
is equal rights to all, be he rich or
poor, white or black, native or for
eign. The workingmen of the
land have a right TO combine and
organize to put themselves on a
footing with capital Workingmen
have a right to strike or quit work
whenever in their opinion they are
being oppressed by the souless cor
porations, but they have no right to
use force in preventing other men
from taking their places, if they can
be secured by these corporations.
We believe they have also the right
to use persuasion to keep other men
from working, but further than this
they should not go. To deny them
this right would be usurpation and
cruelty When they use force and
destroy property, as they are doing
in Chicago, to attain their ends.
they violate the laws of the land,
and the rights of others, and force
is brought against them that the
laws OF the State aud Nation may be
upheld.
The way, and the only way, to set
tie their ditiiculties,is by arbitration
The Legislatures of the States
should lose no time in passing laws
TO COMPEL the settlement of such
troubles as the country is now see.

Protected Wool.

Wool has gradually gone down
to the lowest price on record, under
\agood high protective tariff, amount
ing to an average of about 100 per
mt, ad valorem. Stick a peg
ght there, and mark what happens
the future. And in the mean
me, don't beg the question, We
polpholists, by saying that the
resent decline in price of wool has
cen owing to fear of Democratic
revision of the tariff, for that de-
cline has been steady all through
the eleven years prevalence of our
present tariff, and continued straight
on through the last Republican ad-
ministration, when it must be ad-
mitted, there was little chance in
deed of resumption of Democratic
supremacy.

Min be- in tlle Fight.

This talk about the Democrats of
Mason County not holding a con-
vention is all bosh. When the
proper times arrives, the Democracy
Of this county will be there with a
hurrah. If the Democrats would
show the white feather for a single
moment, it would be doubtful if
decent people could live in this
county. The Democratic party is
stronger in the County to-day than
it has ever been, and if the Demo-
Gratis will make an aggressive fight
this fall, viii forget all their little
differences, and go to work as a
unit, they can carry this County by
4 handsome majority, and elect two
members of the Legislature, the
County Superintendent of Free
Schools, and the County Commits
sioner, and destroy the Republican
Octopus that has fastened itselfupon
this county, through Democratic dis
affection, and that is now sapping the
very life blood Of the people of this
county. Yes, Democracy stilllives,
and will continue to live SO loug as
the people have the right of suffrage.
1t is time now for the Democratic
County Committee to act. Let the
County be thoroughly organized,
and let the Democrats go into the
fight this year determined to win
and victory will be ours, all the
blowing and clustering of the Re
publican leaders in the county, TO
the contrary notwithstanding.

A voice for Capehart.

st. Mary's Oracle.
We notice that Mr.. Capehart, in
a letter just published takes the
ground that silver should be made
money at once, and that it should
be coined the same as gold. This
is right, and we are glad to see that
we have a representative who is
not afraid to come out and tell the
people what he means; though it
may be unpopular with that class
who want to skin the people. This
is one thing we always liked about
Capehart, he says exactly what he
means and then goes and votes just
as he says. If he should be in the
next Congress there will be no
doubt of one vote being right when
the question of the coinage of silver
comes up.

Fourth District, who is a candidate
for re election, in reply to letter
of inquiry from the Hickory Club
as to how he stood on the tariff and
other subjects of interest now before
the American people, has written a
strong document defining his posi-

to his vote on the tariff bill. In ex-
planning his vote for tariff on coal
he says it is the only vote cast dur
ing his term of office that he regrets
and should the opportunity again
present itself he would cast his vote
for free coal. His letter is strong

candidacy stronger Grafton Lead

managers are making an organized
effort to raise the freight blockade. An
other large batch of nonunion men were
brought into the city from the east about
midnight. These with a number of
others who arrived Monday, were put
to work in the Lake Shore yards Tues

they arc afforded ample protection the
blockade on that road will be quickly
raised. Up to this hour (9:S0 a. m. }
there has been no trouble of any kind.
