THE HUMBUG LABOR VOTE.
CEASE PARADING ON LABOR
DAY.
1t Must Vote as It Talks or See All
Reformers Desert Its Cause.
TIME TO FISH OR cur BAIT."

The robber barons Of old have their
counterparts in the utilized kings and
dukes of the privileged classes in this
country. The weapons have been
changed, but the principle remains.
Instead of the bludgeon, the knife, and
the sword, the plutocrats now use and
control the courts, the legislatures
and the executive branches Of the gov
ernment.
They stand between the masses and
the stOrehouSes of nature and prevent
access to them. They regulate pro-
duction and decree the number of men
who shall work, and have their hands
upon the throat of the liberties of the
people. The present industrial sys-
tenn must be overturned and new
system inaugurated before relief can
be expected.
Politics is the means whereby labor
can secure it's final emancipation from
wage-slavery. Nationalize all the rail-
roads, mines, telegraphs, all other ma
tional monopolies; let the people man.
age their own affairs, and there will
be no longer any need of strikes. We
must regulate our affairs by the ballot
box. But as long as the working peo-
pie are not intelligent enough to use
the ballot in their own behalf we shall
be compelled to protect ourselves, as
much as possible, by strikes and boy
colts.
Organized labor must change its
fQnfInC ~
and more active work. We paraded
on labor day and showed our weakness.
L. w. Rogers.
Mr.. Rogers is right. The greater
the number of workmen that paraded
on labor day the better was the illus.
tratiOn of our own weakness. This
may sound strange, but here is the
proof. In ST. Louis, for instance, the
number of labor-day paraders was
from 5000 to 5000 men, but when cleo
tion day came, eight weeks later. it
was found that at least three-fourths
of the labor day paraders were politic-
al "scabs,' who did not even under.
stand the first fundamental principles
of the modern labor movement.
Furthermore, hundreds Of the par
aders, with the trade-union card in
their pockets, stepped out of the par.
ade, went right into the next corner
saloon, where they drank boycotted
beer and smoked boycotted tenement
house cigars.
These are facts.
In New York, Brooklyn, Philadel
phia, Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati,
Cleveland, and many other cities the
same disgraceful spectacles were wit
messed.
Let us not deceive ourselves. This
''monkey business" must be stopped

Why Christ Was Killed.

Rev. Myron Reed, of Denver, said In
a recent sermon: "What was Christ
killed for, and who killed him? He
tramped all the way from Nazareth to
Calvary. He was born in borrowed
barn. Respected sinners he called
'whitened sepulchres.' He walked in
to temple he did not own and drove
out some moncy-changers he was un-
acquainted with, though he was
neither sheriff nor under sheriff.
Right down at the bottom
Christ was killed for his sympathy
with the poor and contempt for the
rich and unjust. He was regarded by
the respectable classes as an outlaw
and afelon, and, if you please, an an

The following figures are from the

ment:
For the five months ending Jan. 81,
1895, we exported 4,776,OOO bales of cot.
ton for which we received $138 1886, 900
For the corresponding months in
1894 we exported 3,621,O0 bales, fol
which we received SAB, $50, 900.
In other words, though we shipped
1,155,000 bales more during the last
five months we got $5,22O,0 900 less
for it.
In January, 1894, 44,804 900 pounds
of exported lard was worth 81, ,O43, COO
while in January, 1895, though we ex'
ported 5,72s,OoO pounds more than in
1894, we only got %, 900.
In January, 1894. 1,341 900 barrels Of
wheat flour brought S., 537 900; in Jan
uary, 1895. 1,207, 900 barrels bring only
So, 1853. 900.
Remember that these figures are Of
ficial-they are absolutely indispu'
table.
How few understand what they
mean? And yet the explanation il
very simple.
Cotton has not changed in price and
value. It takes as much labor to pro
duce the same number of pounds OF
| cotton in 1895 as in 1894. They make
the same number of yards of goods
and the goods clothe the same mum
ber Of people.
1t requires as much labor to pro.
duce wheat now as year ago. The
wheat feeds as many people now as q
year ago.
But it takes more wheat, more cot
ton, more lard, more everything else
| to buy the same amount of money.
WHAT HAS CHANGED?
Money Of course. Having beer
| made scarcer and dearer, money buys
| more of the necessaries of life than
ever before. For whose benefit? The
| possessors of money of course.
| But the necessarieS Of life produced
by labor do not buy as much money a.
| before.
Study these facts and figures ant
then work for your interest and thai
of the rest Of the people against the
| Plutocrats.

A DEVILISH DECISION
COURTS CRUSHING THE WOMEN
Our Lawyer Oligarchy Insisting
on Sweat Shops.

The Supreme Court of Illinois has
lately de clared the eight-hour law, or,
as it was generally known, the sweat
shop law, uncons titutional. The law
prohibited the employment OF women
for more than eight hours day, or
more than 4S hours week, in any fac
tory within the borders of the state,
and in reporting the decision the Chi
cago Times remarks that "the last of
labor laws of Illinois, is stricken from
the books"
Thus, at one stroke, is annulled
many years agitation and work of or
ganized labor Of Illinois. At one stroke
arc 10000 women of that state forced
to bow to the will of the heartless and
greedy employers. At one stroke is
reopened the horrible sweating den.

leave hope behind them, and toll,

tween leading lives of degraded drudg-
cry and pros titution; forced to give
up short-liyed happiness and con-
tentment. that they have right to,
as civilized beings, to fight disease,
vice, starvation and death.
1t is crying shame, national dis
grace, that the little protection that
was accorded 10000 women should be
wiped out by Il SIMULTANEOUSLY be-
wigged and begowned court, at the so
licltation Of hypocritical minority of
money-mongers! Interfering with the
right Of contract, indeed Did the
working women say that the law in
