For orderly laws, comfortable |
living and responsibility about
seventy million people prefer the |
United States as a place OF resi-
dence. But these same qualities
do not at all times produce the
effect intended or desired. Events
during the past thirty days set
one to thinking out a way that
will improve the condition of
the laboring class in and about
Chicago and at the same time
bring the monopolists to a point
where they will realize that they
have only a leasehold on the
world. Matthew Arnold is re-
sponsible for the statement that
America is too beastly prosper
Gus. AS government perhaps
the statement is correct but the
constituents of Messers. Debs
and Sovereign hold different
views to Mr.. Arnold; they lack
contentment in the slaughter
house districts Of Chicago and
state of mental, physical and
moral degeneration is necessary
for the cultivation of good
healthy contentment microbes,
immigration has made Chicago
an admirable place for such cult
walton. You must breed them
in decaying matter.
To conduct a strike as Debs
has this one requires great deal
OF cerebral activity; to put it
down and keep these men under
control requires a greater guam
tity of the same sort of activity
on the part of the government.
You will naturally ask which
men we mean. A reference to
the investigating committee OF
the United States Senate on the
sugar bribery scandal will lead
you to believe that we mean the
managers of the Trusts. There
should be way of harmonizing
labor and capital because it is
not a good plan to hold other
than pleasant relations with those
with whom we come in contact
every day especially when the
two parties are what may be con
sidered the brain and muscle oil
the world. Without capita
there would be no demand ion
| for labor and without labor CAPT
tai would be useless.
The strike over there should
be one of the strongest argu.
ments the people of Hawai-
should have against annexation
it shows what political unior
with the United States would
bring us, annex and your con
tract laborer would be free anc
he would grasp the first oppor
tunity to organize Labor UnioI
and go on a strike; unions would
spring up like the sorghum Oh
Paul Isenberg's ranch after h,
put in his Aermotor. We rca
lie that we are held togethe
here by the profits from one in
duStry, tie up that industry a
Debs has the trade and com
merce of a great territory lik,
the United States and "wher
are we at p One single strik
under a trade union and it will
take long time to reCoup tn
losses the planter would sustain
The strike over there was causeC
by the grasping nature OF
; monOpolist; his employees aske,
nothing unreasonable, nothin,
more than would fill their ever
, day wants, they were satisfied
= with less than a days pay for
/ days labor, but they objected t
working for nothing. Under tn
contract system we can puta Jar
anese or Chinese laborer wher
! ever stalk OF cane grows and W
e can get them at the price that
ruling to-day, make the labo
: free and you will have nearl
e every thing that Chicago has i
!, the way oil labor difhcultie,
u because the sugar industry
2 which is not a trust, would b
in the hands of tyranical car
T. and walking delegates.
We are thankful that the strik
d did not extend to the trade!
= because il it had we could nc
a offer you the "Pansy", which
the best stove in the market, TO
SI5.oo-mark well the price
You can get nothing like it an
! where.
