ties of robbery are thus afforded

POPULIsT DOCTRINES.

We have very little comment to
make upon Mr.. Hsller's letter this
week. He still insists that he is COR
rect in his former statement, that the
paper money demanded by the Peo-
ple's party is simply an enlarged is
sue of promises to pay. We knew
that he is wrong in this, and every
other Populist who has come into the
party through the Farmers Alliance
also knows he is wrong, 80 that no
space need be given to cOntroverting
sny argument based upon this er-
roneous idea.
There is only one other point In
his article this week that we care to
notice, and that IS the statement that
gold dust is just as valuable in the
sack as in the coined piece" That
is not true. It IS true that it comes
nearer being of equal value than sill
YER; but suppose the conditions re-
specting the two metals were reversed
for a short time. Suppose gold
were demonetized, and Disseminated
against as silver is to-day, and that
silver were the only standard money
of the country; which metal, under
such circumstances, would come
the nearer in its market price to its
coin VslueG Mr.. Heller upsets his
own theory upon this point when he
says,
While l think that the demonstration Of
silver was uuoslled for and mistake at the
time, it being then above par with gold, |
do not believe that by the siuple process Of
coming, the government can keep the two
metals at par whose values are 80 far apart
When the two metals were treated
alike, silver was a triAo above gold in
the market, but so long as there was
no discrimination between them at
the mints the variation could be but
trihe. Mr.. Heller seems to over
look the fact that the values being
now so far apart, is q direct result of
the discrimination in favor of the one
and against the other.

JUDGE TRUMBULEs RESOLUTIONS

The following resolutions presented
to the late st. Louis conference by
Henry D. LLOYD were prepared by
Judge Trumbull of Illinois.
1. Resolved, That human brotherhood
and equality of rights are cardinal prinoi-
pies of true democracy.
2, Resolved, That, forgetting all past
political differences, we unite in the COM
mon purpose TO rescue the government
from the control of monopolists and con-
oentrated wealth, to limit their powers Of
perpetuation by ourtsiliDg their privileges
and to secure the right Of free speech, a
free press, free labor, and trisl by jury
al rules, regulations and judicial diOts in
derORstion Of either of which are arbitrary,
unconstitutional; and not TO be tolerated
by a free people.
3. We endorse the resolution adopted
by the national republican convention Of
1860, which was incorporated By President
Lincoln in his inaugural address, as follows:
"ThRt the msintainsnoe inviolste Of the
right OF the states, and especially OF the
rights Of each state to order and control It's
own domestic institutions according TO it's
own judgment exclusively, is essential 10
that balance Of power on which the perfeO.
tion and endurance of our political fabric
depends, and we denounoe the lawlesl in
vasion by armed force on the soil of any
state or territory, no matter under what
pretexs, as among the grsVest Of Grimes"
4. Resolved, That the power given CON-
gress by the constitution "tO provide for
calling forth the militia TO execute the laws
Of the union, TO suppress insurrectiOns, TO
repel invasion, "doeS not warrant the govern
ment in making use Of q standing army in
aiding monopolies in the oppression of
their employees. When free men unshield
the sword it should be TO strike for liberty
not for despotism or to uphold privileged
m0nopOlieg in the oppression Of the poor.
s. Resolved, That TO check the rapid ab-
sorption of the wealth of the country and
It's perpetuRsion in few hands, we demand
the enactment Of laws limiting the amount
Of property 10 be acquired by devise or In
heritance.
6. Resolved, That we denouncs the is
suing Of interest bearing bonds by the gov
eminent in times of peace to be paid for, in
part, at least, by gold drawn from the
treasury, which results in the governments
paying interest on it's own money.
Z. Resolved, That we demsnd that con-
gresS perform its constitutional duty to coin
money, regulate the value thereof, and Of
foreign coin By the enactment Of laws for
the free coinage Of silver with that Of gold
at the ratio Of 16 to /.
8. Resolved, That monopolies affecting
the public interest should be owned and op-
Grated by the government in the interests
Of the people; all employees Of the same to
be governed By civil service rules, and no
one TO be employed or displaced on account
Of politics.
8. Resolved, We inscribe on our ban

ionaire cOntroll % with the rights Of
man and the massesw and under this BAN
Rer We march to the p lis and to victory"

THE PROSPERITY WAVE STRIKES KANSAS
CITY.

Son oatmeal and cerlGl plant ID han-
sas City went out on a strike on the
5th Of January, in consequence of a
reduction Of pay from nine cents to
eight cents per case. One OF the
girls, in an interview with a repre-
sentative Of the Kansas City World,
says Of the wages paid:
The statement given out by the factory
people that We girls receive ON an average
$3.50 a day for our work is wholly mislead-
ing. An expert girl could, by working
sWelve hours, put up in day about seven
taen caaes, which Rb cents each would
make 81 SO. II we worked every day this
would make fair wages, but We did not.
Last week we only worked two days, and
day in and day out, during she year, we
only averaged from three to four days q
week. Now the average girl oOly puts up
say fifteen cases day. These at cents
would make her S1.35. Say she averaged
four Days a week, this would make her
weekly wages only IS 40, whlle il she aver
aged three days, which would come nearer
being the OorreOb time, her wages would
only amount to $4O5. Sjme Of the newer
girls could not even make this and would
probably average only 50 or So a wOsk.
This is veY different from the $l2,SO q
week which the factory would have the
papers believe.
This is the old story of svsricious
employers Of labor. They take the
work OF the most expert employe at
the highest price paid and represent
il as showing the common earnings
Of all. They also convey the inn
preston that the work is continuous
and that there is no loss of time.
This is what is done during every
coal miners strike; it is what was
done during the Homestead strike
and the more recent one at Pullman;
and the daily press, as q rule, lends
IL powerful aid in the spread Of these
false statements among the people.
OF the work performed by these girls
the World interview says:
Did We work hard2 Well, guess we did.
Many and many is the time have come
home with the ends Of my fingers bleeding.
They would not hurt while they were bleed
ing, but the next morning they would be
tsRRibly sore. We were compelled TO work
swelVe hours and at lightning speed, TO put

Then we have TO Rll the packages with ost-

THE STRIKE or THE sHOEMAKERs.

1n9 SGt1K9 WnlCn mas Oe9n In&URs
uratsd by the shoemsksrs of HaYer-
hill, Massachusetts, is one which
should enlist the sympathy, not only
Of working men and women, but Of
all who believe in fair dealing. The
immediate cause of the strike is the
attempt on the part of the manufac-
turers to introduce a new feature into
their contract with employees. By
the terms of this new contract each
employe is required to allow from $25
to $50 from hls meagre earnings to
be retained by his employer which
the employe must agree shall be for
feited If he does not give his en-
ployer at least two weeks notice in
writing before he quits work.
Local papers report that the
masses of the people and the busi-
ness men of the city are in sympathy
with the strikers and are giving them
substantial aid. A monster parade
took place on the evening of January
A, snT great meetings we're held in
the City hall and in Music hall which
were addressed by many speakers of
note. A Springfield paper Common
Sense) says:
Many women are involved in this strike,
and their headquarters are in Cutters hall
on Merrimso street, where they meet reg
ulRrly, and from whence they march forth
whenever the men parade, which is gener-
ally at noon. Nothing like this strike has
ever been seen IN Haverhill. It's spirit has
been that Of quiet determination, born Of
the righteousness of the cause.
AT the meetings above referred to
Lady Henry Somerset, Francis E.
Willard, Mrs. Anne Hicks and Miss
Mary E. Nassau were among the
speakers. They urged the women to
remain firm with the other strikers in
their demand for Justice.
We have frequently called stten-
tion to the insidious chsrachter of the
sggressions of capital upon the
rights of labor. II all the humili.
ating conditions to which the wage
esrners of this country are now SUBJ
iect had been imposed at one time
they would hsYe caused immediate
revolution. Neither the Wsge-earn-
ers nor the masses of the people
would have endured such inVasions
of human rights and liberties. But
these aggressions have been made
one by one, a little here and little
there, each 80 trlfing in itself that,
though causing slight murmurs of
complaint, it has been submitted to,
each in its turn, until the wage-earner
of to-day is no better than q serf.
This contract which the shoe man
ufacturers of Massachusetts, are seek
