Esaor OF tAs Rs1i'ss-'
The situation while not all that
eould wish seems greatly improved.
leaders have made an advance
ovement and our people are getting
out CT the slough Of despond." And
while the tariff bill Is not all tn many
ardent tariff reformsrs desired, IL Is
vastly better than none. FOR IL gives US
courage 70 hope thai Ia the future we
may make further progress. Our peo-
rle OF this district have very unanl-
mously endorsed cur leader and We
think the coraer stone Of great Work
8 now laid, and thas the structure Will
eventually b. bui.t Our friends the
enemy, must think usa race Of political
and intellectual giants, that we eoule
al once undo the effect Of their thirty
years OF iniQuitious class legislation,
AID give the country relief at once
FROM the slavery that their class leglS-
alton, which they iDgeniously called,
protection for American industries,
In order 10 deceive the unsuSpeeting,
was put upon Us.
This began When IL was made la"
| 20 pay the patriots who held our oondS
double or treble interest, because their
/ patriotism had caused them 20 invest In
| Government securities. fearing green
backs might dopreciate ia value. we
remember the war was over then, so IL
cannot be claimed as a trOT measure.
Well, IL caused the concentration OF
capital, the formation OF monopolies and
| trusts, built up the CarhSgieS and the
! Pullmans, and gave US the idea OF pro-
| lection for campaign Doodle, and cam
paign liars. While this is bad enough,
then comes more serious aspect. We
admit they freed one class, but they
made veritable slaves OF a much larger
one.
Let them answer now for the strikes,
the destruction Of property and loss OF
life, and general distress, which tnelr
policy has produced for 1t was the
condition and not the theory" that
brought this calamity upon Us.
MonOpOlies and trusts could never
have been favored except by the protsc-
tom OF class legislation. The United
States are vast domain-our people
have q greatly diVersied interest and We
should not be TOO previous in our cen
! sure OF any who may differ with Us.
| When we remember the many and d.
versled interests OF our people, We
should remember 'all are equal" ES-
pecislly should we remember that our
ouiet, unobtrusive agriculturist wants
| protection just as much as the iron man
or the sugar man, aud that no one class
| is 10 be favored az the expense OF anotn'
/ er, then we will get just and wholesome
| legislation and Wall Street will know
that il does not OVID America. Ia con-
clusion we think we should not be too
/ ready 10 cOudemn our representatives..
We should remember their many con-
stituents and diversified Interests and
the difficulties they encounter ia any
Legislation proposed.
Lastly, VIC come to the question OF the
hour We mean Anarchy, or our Tor
eig4 element. We favor that they be
taughJ at once TO res pect and obey our
laws. We wSld make short work OF
bomb makers and bomb throwers, we
want law, We want order, and have no
use for this elemsNt. II our foreign
population come hire to accept our
forms of law aud government we bid
them welcome, but II they come with
any AnarchiStlc ideas we want them
given their own medicine. We think
this q time when every honest citizen
should be willing 20 ignore party and
sacrifice all for patriotism. Something
should be done for the relief OF our peO-
pie and be done at once. Let the sugar
trust Tor any other trust) care for itself.
The people are supreme, and 20 their
decision we bow. y. y. u.
