sons given by the wheat pit gamblers for
rising prices.
Pigs Eye (St. PauD has more prosper
ity also, as H. P. Rugg & Co., wholesale
dealers in pumps and plumbers supplies,
have failed. The bottom fell out of their
bank account. OF course contraction of
money and credit had nothing to do with
their failure. They simply lacked Gus
toners with cash. Send for P. T. Bar
mum or the fool killer. Rugg & Co. bet
ter invest rs cents in Ten Men OF Money
Island" Coins Financial School," or,
better still, subscribe for The Represen-

Schroeder Commission Co., in the Ex-

What promises to be the biggest
strike ever known in the government
making industry in New York. City is
impending over the question of wages.
Keep right on voting for the monopoly
manufacturers who get the cream. tThey
will take great interest in seeing that
competition in free labor for a yob is
kept up. How long, oh, Lord how long,
will these wage slaves keep up their fool
1shness. To us it seems that when the
great middle class make their fight
against monopoly to maintain the flag
again after 1896 the wage workers will
get their industrial freedom incidental
to the fight as the colored slave secured
his freedom-political necessity.
The ore trimmers at Marquette. Mich.
May Fl, went on bis.strike, and pluto
daily says: Again they strike. Ore
trimmers don't know when thew are we'll

constitutional lawyers in the senate, I'M
der date of May 81, said: THE decision
leaves the taxing powers of the govern
ment in state of wreck. Principles Of
taxation which were considered we'll
settled, are torn up by this decision. y
Despotic corporation monopoly is in it's
saddle. Chief Justice Fuller is the
counterpart of Chief Justice fancy.
A great strike of brickmakers was de-
clared in Chicago May %, and every
brickyard in the city was tied up. The
fight is expected to be bitter one; $500
men are out. A mass meeting Of strik-
ers was held and an effort was made to
call sympathetic strikers in the other
building trades. This. in a republic, a
so-called Christian people, pious, God
fearing citizens. Our coins bear the in

The Peoples Party demand govern
ment banks, but our dear dupes in Mil
waukee believe in Republican prosper
ity," and so prefer banks that promise
large rates of interest J. B. Koetting,
the ex-cashier Of the South Side Savings
Bank, which went broke in 1893, has

Minneapolis banks are not proving very
