The strikers had the Northern Pa
cific raj road blockaded Is days IN
which time there was no communi-
catior between ST. Paul and the Pa
cific coast by that route.
DEDs and Sovereign who ordered
tHeir dupes 10 drop their work and
lose good pay and good positions,
did not drop their pay or position.
Sovereign is paid 5000 dollars for

the knights, and Debs gets $4,000 for
playing king over the secret order

TEE Democratic party in Congress
with its large majority is divided on
the tariff question, and the appear
ance of the situation indicates that
they will not be able to pass a new
teriff bill In that cSse the Mckin
ley bill will stand. Once the bust
ness Of the country is satisfied that
the democracy cannot uproot the tar
if as it now stands, times VII begin
to get better.
THE riotous strikes are about over
and good many leaders Of the VIC
lent strikers are in Jail. IT is queer
that in this frce land there should
be so many Elen who desire to de-
stroy the property Of men for whom
they do not went to allow others !,
work. What would such men thin <
of it, if the men for whom they wor.i-
ed, would turn and destroy all prop
erty that they could lay hands on
chat belongs to the men who will not
work for wages they offer Tie
queation is as broad as long, and
when looked at from two sides shows
how ignorant OF the principle of f;,e
government violent strikers are.
DEBs has issued proclamation
against the Pullman Company, de-
uouncing them for reduction of
wages and exec, Sive rent; denounc-
ing them for paving its conductors
and porters such small wages that
they are obliged to depend on tips to
support them He calls on the pub
&c rot to ride on Pullman cars. Dsbs
and his fellow leaders are planning
to organize all railroad labor for a
strike in 1895, if the railroad COM
papies fail to raise their wages to
what they were previous to the panic.
But they do not tali how the bust
ness men and falmers arc to get
back to the better prices before tire
panic. Debs and bis people talk as
it they were the only people affected
by the panic.
LAST Thursday was great day
amorg the democrats il Congress
over Z letter that tariff reformer Viii
son read from President Cleveland,
urging unity of action among the
democracy on The tariff question.
The President u ed the passage of
the Wilson bill as party duty. He
said the business of the country tim
idly ST .nds and watches for the re-
suit OF their efforts on t,riff iegisla-
ton. The republicans had little to
say, bot many of the democrats were
indignant that the President should
through letter attempt to dictate
away the &C 1yiction of Congres men,
who are opposed to the t..riff bill.
The President favors free raw mate
rial, free coal, free iron ore, free wool,
but wants duty on sugar. 1t is in
comprehensive that the President
should by accident favor just what
three powerful II usts want. He urges
what the sugar frost of this country
wants-a tax on sugar. There is the
foreign iron interest or trust of Cuba,
and the President urges free iron ore.
There is the powerful Nova Scotia
oai trust or syndicate, anG the Pres
ident urges free coal Senator Hill
Of York State stood up for President
Cleveland's new move, because the
President favored the dropping OF
the income tax CLAUSE of the t.riff
bill.
