There has been, recently, much
criticism of the man who has freel,
expressed his condemnation of the
policy Of the government. He has
been dubbed a "calamity bowler"
Every body has heard of the calamity
bowler. The gold bug press, under
English pay, has been very forward
III deRouncing the calamity bowler.
This bowler is not a monstrosity of
some kind, outside of human crea-
uon. lie is not freak nor crank,
neither Is he ID desperate or an an
archist. lie is just a plain, com
mons sense, everyday American citi-
zen, who dares to do his own think
ing and give his thoughts voice. The
moment man denies the right Of
the plutocrals to rob the common
people, and pauperize labor, he is
called calamity bowler, no matter
if he does not talk louder than =
whisper.
If there is calamity to howl about
every citizen, from the least to the
greatest, has an inalienable right to
howl, and he ought to exercise il.
One of the declarations of the first
great calamity howl was. that Eng
land had no right to interfere with
the people in their public assembling
to ask redress for their grievances.
If the people should meet to-day in
a public assemblage and ask gold
bug Grover, and the little congress-
to redress the wrongs that have
closed the workshops made nrodnc-
ton Improbable, and changed
million or more of the free and eoual
citizens into paupers, they would be
called calamity howlers.
If an American citizen is to be
abused and derided, called to an ac-
count and his citizenship denounced
because he dares criticise pnbljc off
