THE PEOPLE ARE TO BLAME.
Let Them Demand a Return to the Laws
That Gave Good Wages.

Let Them Demand Return to the Laws
That Gave Good Wages.
| When masses of men become dissatis-
fed with their condition because of ell
forced idleness or of hopeless poverty.
| they arc prone to ascribe their misfor-
tunes and sutferings to the government.
In a representative government like
ours majority of the representatives
chosen by the people every two years
are very apt to take to themselves the
changing of existing laws or the enact
| ing of new laws, whereby industrial in
| terests are unsettled. Our IL, 900, 900
of voters had every opportunity in 1892
at the polls to declare who they would
trust i'll the making of the laws in the
Fifty-third congress. The Democrats
had openly declared for the repeal Of all
protective laws, all restraints upon ma
tional banks and the purchasing clause
of the Sherman law, by which American
silver was to be used. On these ques
tons the Republicans declared in favor
of tho continuation of high protective
tariff duties, of the continuation of
election laws which guaranteed toleach
citizen the right to vote honestly and
have that vote honestly counted, u sta
bic currency, whether of gold, silver or
paper. and the continuation of that sys-
tenn Of national finance which assured
the parity of our exchanges.
1t would be impossible to say who of
the several classes of our people We're
most largely represented in making up
the Democratic majority by which the
power of carrying out their declared
principles was accomplished. Appar-
emily the labor elements of the country
We're more definitely with the election
of Mr.. Cleveland, many of whom had
formerly acted with the Republicans.
Therefore the labor people as class
have least of all reason to complain at
the present time of the condition which
finds labor everywhere unemployed.
Our government is fundamentally right
as representative government The
people have the power to prevent fur
ther industrial depression at this time if
they were so disposed If the unem-
ployed, with those who are now engaged
at greatly reduced wages, We're to staad
up with one accord and demand that
the changing of the laws that gave good
wages and steady employment should
cease, congress could not help but hear
and obey the demand of so formidable
claim. Commonweal armies, train
wrecking, strikes, lockouts and other
forms of apparent redress are useless.
The home loving people of this country
are in large majority. They stand
Tor good government, for the enforce
ment of the laws, for individual free
dom, demanding restraint only of that
which is vicious and threatening. If
the working people are not satisfied
that tariff tinkering has brought them
to the awful condition in which they
are found today, let us all together wait
patiently further developments, but for
ever let us frown down that idea which
would say, Destroy the government

character

Webster defines the modern use of the
word "claptrap' to mean trick or device
to gain applause humbug. According to
this definition "clsptrap" is the exact dag
nosis of the origin of much of the tribula-
ton through which this country has been
passing the last two years.
A moments reflection 10 the light of re-
cent events will convince the most optimis-
tic that morbid desire for notoriety is an
equal evil today with greed and often the
two work together. The wage earners ap-
pear to be the most susceptible victims of
both evils. The love of money may
be the root of all evil, but the
love of notoriety is an excellent
fertilizer. Perhaps this fact is apparent
to the half starved, ragged and detected fol-
lowers of Coxey, Frye, and Kelley, deserted
by their leaders thousands of miles from
home, left,without work or means of sus-
tenance and the only alternatives begging
and stealing. And stealing is likely to prove
the surest method for now that the novelty
is absent few people are making contribu-
tons to Coxeyism. Coxey land the other lead
ers have money enough to get home and
have cowardly deserted the men they have
deluded into followers. Coxey is at home

"Sagadahoc territory was a ducal state,
the pstrmony of the duke of York, in 1904
and continued so until 1857 when the duke
became King of England and this section

this change, caused a protest from the inhabi-

The remonstrance, however, was in vain !:
