shat when the federal grand jury con-
cludes its investigation Of the American
Railway union. it will begin an in
quiry into the policy and methods of
the General Managers association.
Among the leaders of the workingmen,
the charge has been made, openly and
repeatedly, that the obstruction OF
United States m ais and the Interrupt
ton Of interstate commerce was due
quite as much to the general managers
as to the railway union. 1t has been
alleged that the general managers
agreed among themselves that no trains
should be run on any of the roads I'M
til all had gained their points in the
dispute with the men. This was done,
it is charged, to hold back such COM
panies as showed an inclination to
treat with its employees and bring about
resumption of traffic on its own lines.
Will Be Investigated.
It is asserted by the men that they
can prove that kilograms were sent out
from the General Managers association
ordering certain railroad lines to send
out no trains until certain scheme had
been accomplished. All this, the men
insist, is a clear case of conspiracy on
the part OF the general managers as the
acts of Debs and his associates rendered
them indictable for conspiracy.
Judge Grosscup and District Attorney
Milchrist have said that justice will te
meted out to all violators of federal

the Populists were busy and noisy. The
Populists out there reminded me Of the
two coyotes, that sat on the side hill, shak-
ing their heads and barking. You wonld
think there were 40 coyotes, from the vein
ing: But in Oregon, when it came to the
last election, they had counted the coyotes
and not the yelps. And there were not 90
many Populists in Oregon as people ex-
pected, not so many as their noise had in
dicated. --..>
In coming political contests, the fighting
would not be so strong against the Demo-
Gratis as against this new Populist party.
that is infused with the doctrine that ey-
erything was wrong, until a few days ago
when the Populists struck the country.
Their doctrine seems to be that all prosper
thy is a crime. That any man who has more
than two shilings stole it, anyhow. Thew
have theory that the government can
pass laws to cure all ills. What mis-
take!
The Populist idea that the government
can issue notes for unlimited amounts is
a humbug. They must get that out of
their heads. There is no way for anv
man to become prosperous except by hon.
est labor
Money that costs nothing is worth moth
ing.
The whole idea that we can make money
without some basic value is too big a hum
bug to discuss.
Don't get the idea that the world is to
be carried away with such ideas. Don't
believe in the winners. There is more to
rejoice over than to cry over. What Min
nesota needs, and all the West, is men
who are thrifty, having money and brains
to build up this grand country. The first
requisite is to keep the politics of the
country in the hands of a safe progressive
party-the Republican party I predict
that Kansas will go $4,000 Republican
next fall, because the Populist di:ease is
like any other contagious disease People
have it once, but never again. They have
had it in Kansas and want no more. All
over the country the Republican party is
hopeful, with head erect, because it has
good principles and stands by 'em.
The Republican party has won and
carried the country every time but twice
in 80 years by standing for business sense
and business rules. Let us win again
this fall. But better be defeated by stand.
ing for good government, for progress and
for protection to American labor, than to
be victorious by trucking to any new
theories.
Look to it.in Minnesota that you elect a
Republican governor and Republican
legislature. Let every Republican go to
work to keep Minnesota where she always
has been and where she belongs, in the
Republican column.
am proud of being Republican, be-
cause the best men in all communities
belong to that party. The good, sod
business men of the nation belong tot 1T
party. Be careful to keep it so. I pre-; ct
that New York will go strongly Repuoli-
can this fall, also New Jersey and Con
necticut.

the course OF our government during the
last quarter OF century, overlook the fact
that the very goodness of our institutions
are to large extent chargeable with our
present ills. America has been until
within the last year, as compared with
other countries, the laborer's paradise
Labor, attracted by better wages, better
living and better homes than elsewhere,
has hocked to our shores in great num-
bers, and we are today more embarrassed
by this overplus of labor than from almost
any other single cause. We have alb
sorbed much but there is limit to the
digestion even of agiant. Could the labor
that has come to our shores within the
last 10 years again find work abroad,
the labor problem would be much
simplifed and be much easier of
solution. Granting, what is far from GER
tain, that strikes may maintain or increase
wages, it is quite evident that they do not
tend to enlarge the field of labor increase
the demand for it. Capital may build
railroads, engineers and fremen,
conductors and brakemen may stand
ready to operate them, and yet there will
be nothing to do, nothing to earn, unless
there are farmers and producers to furnish
the traffic. It is a phrase of the sea, that
freight is the mother Of wages" and so
from the standpoint of the railroads,
freight may be said to be not only the
mother of wages, but also the mother of
dividends" It isn't the saloonkeeper
that pays for the licenses, it is the poor
fellow that takes the drink. And so it
isn't the capital in the road that pays the
wages, it is the farmer who furnishes the
no ic OIL a.
contending for lower rates. AS an umpire
state has provided a board of railroad
commissioners to settle and adjust all diff
ferences. The farmers don't strike. AS
law abiding citizens they turn to this tri-
bunal or to the courts for relief On the
other hand, labor contends with capital
for good or better wages. There may be
much justice in the claim, but to settle it
by strikes or boycotts is too often exhaust
i've and ruinous and demoralizing in the
extreme. Is it not nobler, better and
safer to adjust the contention betw cen la
Dor and capital as between capital and
producer, by means of arbitration, through
the board Of railroad commissioners or
through some other board or tribunal of
arbitration? The producer is entitled to
reasonable rates, capital to moderate divi-
dends and labor to fair wages. And
whenever disputes arise between these
different interests, such disputes should be
adjusted, not by strikes and boycotts, but
through arbitration or Cancellation, in
some qualified, fair and entirely disinter-
ested board or tribunal, to be established
for that purpose In these times of
trouble and Distress we need most of all
confidence in each other, and forbearance
with each other, and above all, we must
strive to uphold the integrity of our coun-
try and it's we'll being, for ourselves, and
our posterity, at all hazards. If patriotism
and love of country prevails, the republic
will ride triumphant through the storm.

ROSWELL G. HoRR- II told you so.'
Because warned the people that if they
took the country out of the hands of the
Republican party, which had experience,
and knew how to do things, and turned it
over to the Democratic party, there would
be trouble. I prophesied trouble, but did
not expect it so quickly. I am surprised
that the Democratic party has put the
country in so deplorable a condition so
hurriedly.
President Cleveland had said repeal the
Sherman law, and everything would be
lovely. 1t was repealed, but have not
yet discovered the promised loneliness.
The party in power proposes to run the
country on free trade plans, and so long
as that policy is persisted in, nothing will
be improved
The Republican party believes in levy
ing duty sufficient to protect home labor
against foreign labor Since 1870 the Re
publican party has built up industries all
over the country because protection had
been afforded articles made at home, and
people would have them.
Take the tin plate industry. have been
in seven tin plate factories in the United
States, and when see tin made in our
factories, I certainly know it is made here,
and it would take any Democrat an hour
to convince me that there are no. tin fac
tories in the United States. These factor
les have made over 81 ,00O, 900 pounds of tin
plate, so far. The largest and finest tin
plate factory on the globe is located in
Brooklyn, employing $50 men,, making
1900 boxes of tin plate every week.
Can any one prove that a low tariff ever
provided days work for any one? High
tariff keeps money at home, low tariff
sends money away. The Republican tariff
enables employers to pay better wages.
Free trade doesn't. Good wages make
business. Low wages prevented people
from consuming so much, and that crip-
pies markets over the entire country.
Two years ago the people had been told
that II they would bring the Democratic
party into power they would get good
wages. Vote Tor Cleveland. and wheat
would bring LIS q bushel. They did SO,
and got Cleveland, but nothing else. But
the lesson had been needed. In Ohio, Mr..

"THEY ARE NOT DEMOCRATS
Mr.. Bland Expresses His Opinion
About Some of His Colleagues.

As 1t was evident early in the afternoon
that Mr.. Bland could not secure a quorum
to order the previous question on his motion
ton to close debate on the seigniorage bill, a
paper for a caucus to consider the situa-
ton was circulated and numerously signed
on the democratic side. The democratic op-
ponents of the bill. however, declined to
sign the call and declared they would
neither attend nor be bound by the caucus
action Nevertheless the caucus will be
held
Mr. Bland will probably hold on until
about 3 O'Clock, when he will yield for an
adjournment. the caucus to Immediately
follow. A good deal of feeling exists among
the democrats against their colleagues who
are flibustering, and a movement will be
made in caucus to instruct the committee
on rules to bring in a rule that will not
only compel the attendance of absentees,
but Will compel them to vote. Mr.. Boatner
Will offer such resolution. Mr.. Bland,
however, is opposed to the adoption of a
coercive rule of this kind. He contends that
II Is not within the power of the House to
compel a member to vote
IF a democratic majority Of 100 cannot

had better give way to some party that
can"
When asked what he thought the caucus
could accomplish, he replied that a demo-
cratic caucus ought to be able to find an
easy way out of the present difficulty.
But it is understood that Mr. Tracy and
others will neither attend the caucus nor
be bound by its decision"
They are not democrats, any way" re-
