-Esch generation should pay its own
debts. Showing the settling business
on your children makes Reputation re-
[ spectacle.
The world owes no man a living
Every man must earn that for himself.
But the world does owe him an oppor-
tunity of making living.-St. Louis

The street railways are capitalized
at $685.. o00, 900. but they only cost $780,
900, 600. According to this the fran.
:hises, which cost them but little, are
worth $685., 600, O00-Detroit People.
-Depositors in banks were robbed
Of $1,000 day during the year 1894
The republican and democratic parties
stand for the perpetuation of this sort
of thing. The peoples party favors
government banks-Clay Center Dis

X. j. Jefferson. of Muscatine coun-
| ty, Ia, says: my belief is this: I'm

cal men are put to the helm, the peo-

Let it lie emphasized that wealth be-

of all the many senseless and bru-
tai theories which practical men sup
| port, the most fatuous and bestial is
the theory of competition. Under its

| justice is perverted and society flour
ishes by the antagonism of it's individ-
| uals.-Humanity.
| The failure of the Bank of Fort
Scott, caused by the cashier having
made away with everything in sight,
| proves again that it would never do for
the government to go into the banking
business. That is, according to the
| logic of some people we know.-Clay
Center (Kan.) Dispatch.
If every one did his fair share of
the work done in this country, nobody
need work more than three hours a
day. You do more in order that some
body may get off with less; and then
you go and vote the old party tickets
as if you liked to be kept on the tread
mill.-Star and Kansan.
Wealth belongs to the man who
creates it and all wealth is created by
| labor. The poor devil who is selling
"Orn at Is cents and potatoes at IS cents
and other products proportionately
low, is not getting just return for his
| labor and will not until our financial
| system is changed -Independent.
We serve notice now that the end
of this fall campaign is but the begin
ming of a greater one. Populists will
march right on just as though there
| had been no election. The editor of
this paper is open for engagements to
speak at any date from November =,
1895, to November Z, 1s96.-Salt Lake
| City Inter- Mountain Advocate.
The democrat like Senator Vest
who wears himself out talking for free
silver and then says if the democrats
| nominate gold standard candidate he
will give him hearty support, and all
| loyal democrats will rally to his sup
| port, may be an astute politician, but
he is alike destitute of principle Or
patriotism. Partyism is all he can
boast of.-Star and Kansan.
The great question of the future is
money against legislation. My friends,
you and will be in our graves long
before that battle is ended, and, unless
our children have more patience and
courage than saved this country from
slavery, republican institutions will go
down before moneyed corporations.
Rich men die, but banks are immortal
and railroad corporations never have
any disease. In the long run with
legislatures they are sure to win
Wendal Phillips.
There is to be a concerted action
on the part of la Dor to make decisive
stand for an eight-hour day in 1896.
The power of organization is gradual
ly and slowly shaping the forces for
the contest, and when it comes it will
be SO sweeping and general that moth
ing can resist it. 1t will be a fight to
finish and will win. 1t must and
shall win. The very life and liberty
of trades unions and the individual
members themselves depend upon this
struggle. of Labor.
Most people are SO little posted on
political economy that they believe it
is capital that pays labor. In short,
| that wages are drawn from capital;
that it is from the store Of the employer
that the workman gets his wages.
The fact of the matter is, the work.
man renders to his employer a greater
value than he receives in wages. He
creates the value of his wages before
he secures it. Hence, instead of wages
being drawn from capital it is COM
| pensated from the value which labor
| itself creates.-Kansas City mo- HUI
