What a mockery is this sO-called Christ
ian civilization, as exemplifed in this
perverted development Of our republi.
can system of government. It has es-
tsblished, beyond all csVil, that there
is no hope of escape from the Cdious ty-
rsnny of insatiate greed except through
actual reVOlutionl 1t has demonstrated
that the poor and unfortunate have no
rights that the rich and powerful are
bound to respectl Yea, it is moral and
material suicide to thus psralyze
the strong arms which have built up
the prosperity Of the country in
time of peace, and to break the stout
hearts which defended it In time Of
war. There seems to be no conscience
left in those who occupy the high places
in the land. They seem to have taken
leave of all their senses except that of
sordid selfshness, and barter seems to
be the sole aim and end Of govern
ment. What thenP Let the so mil
lions of despoiled, long suffering, once
free American citizens answer to their
hearts and consciencesl-J. F. Johns

MEN OF LABOR.

Mem of labor, why for others
Ever toll?
Men of labor, be ye brothers,
Not the spoil
OF the vampires who are taking
All the wealth that ye are making;
Ofthe serpent that would crush you In It's
coil.
Why be slaves? Why wait ye longer?
Be ye free
Than your masters ye are stronger.
Liberty
Shout that watchword unto heaven;
Shout it till your bonds are riVen;
Shout it till the sounds ring over land
and sea-
Make equality the beacon
To the earth,
Until tyranny shall weaken;
And birth,
Bright as the bright dreams of sages
In the dark and vanished ages,
OF eternity and liberty come forth.
Speak the weary world Is waiting
For your call;
Never In your zeal abating,
Until fall
All the greed and wrong that bind us,
Wrecks upon times shore behind US;
And new day sheds its beauty over all.

Senator Blackburn's home, have met
his ultra silver interview with the most
radical uttersnCe heard this year from
free. coinage ranks. In their con-
vention to select delegates to the state
convention, they declared at length in
unequivocal terms for ''a single gold
standard" with only one dissenting
vote. Following is the full text of the
resolutions:
Resolved, That sound and stable currency
Is one Of the chief supports Of constitutional
government, and is absolutely indispensable
to nations commerce, both at home and
abroad. Civilized nations have long since
adopted the metals, silver and gold, as the
best foundation for such currency. Enlight-
ened statesmanship has decreed that 1t was
impossible to maintain the two metals on q
parity, and that gold should occupy the
higher place and was the only possible sub
stantial basis for national currency stand
ard.
Resolved, That we regard all efforts to force
bimetalllsm and the unlimited coinage or the
so-called free coinage Of silver upon the gov.
ernment as fraught with dire disaster to ma
tional credit and to the material interests of
the business community; and as republicans
we pledge our influence and support TO such
measures as will aid in the maintenance Of the
single gold standard as the chief cornerstone
Of our national monetary system.

The decision of the supreme court on
the income tax has demonstrated and
emphasized what was stated in my ar
ticle on the "Nspoleonic Worship"
that "the benefit of the doubt" inures
only to the fellow with fat purse; and
it has also furnished an object lesson
to the tOiling millions against which
sOphistry and political mendscity will
not avail. 1t has planted another mile
stone on the march towards physical
revolution, for it would seem that leg
islstion in the interest of the people
were impossible. Law, as interpreted
by modern jurisprudence, is the very
incarnation of cruelty and rank injus-
tice! Stripped of every vestige of that
ethics which is the foundation of our
legal system, and which holds primar
lily "that man should pursue his own
substantial happiness" it necessarily

Slightly Ratified.

The National Wstchman, of Wash
ington, contains the following editorial
paragraph:
There is no use fooling away any more time
or labor in the cities, the workingnen will
not vote as they march. 1t Is the country and
smaller towns that must be depended upon
to vote for reformers.
On another page of the same issue
of the Watchman we find the follow
ing:
Every factory operative should bella reader
Of the Watchman.
Now to be consistent, the Watch
man should stop "fooling away any
more time OF labor in the cities" trying
to get wOrkingmen ''to vote for reform
ers," or has the Watchman ceased to
be a reform paper and concluded to
lead the "factory operatives" into the
ranks of some other than reform
party.
Between the attempt to be leading
spologist for the pretended 'neW silver
party" and the necessity of keeping in
the middle of the road" to maintain an
influence with the Peoples party, Bro
ther Dunning seems to be somewhat
ratified.
While it is possible that had the edi-
tor of the Watchman been in Chicago
to boss the recent Populist campaign
for city offices the Populist vote would
have reached 100000" it is more than
likely it would have fallen far below
the $4,000 mot 10000 as he gives it)
actually polled, especially if the same
discretion was displayed in managing
political campaign that he does in
running reform paper.
The workingmen and farmers will
yet unite in enforcing through the bal
lot box the demands Of the Omaha
platform-Brother Dunning's advice
and petulant predictions to the con-
trsry Notwithstanding.
It is hoped his recent feat of setting
up a silVer-party "straw man" and
knocking it down, will place him on
better terms with himself, and cause
him to repent of consignlng the work
ingmen of our large cities, factory
operatives" and all, to the tender mer.
