What Great Reform Paper Saws q
Brooklyn Strike.

What Great Reform Paper Says S1
Brooklyn Strike.
Did you read the eulogy of the pluto.
cratic press o. the heroism of the SOL
diers who helped plutocracy to down
the Brooklyn strikers? Women and
men," says the Buffalo Evening News,
under the caption, ''Heroisn Of the
Fight" "and even children showed
their hatred Of tue soldiers in every
conceivable way. There were women
at doorways or at windows and chill
dren everywhere" And Just think of
the heroism OF these professional sill,
ers, the prop oil monopoly and OF greed,
and who are always found on the side
OF despotism and oppression through
out history; just think OF these brave
tools Of plutocfaCg, armed to the teeth,
yet brave enough hot % shoot "a vol
ley from those deal ly guns" into The
crowd of women and children who
jeered them in hate, without an order
from the officer in command. This is
the way plutocratic press is patting SOL
diery on the back. How different this
is from the sermon of the good and
honest Methodist minister, Rev. ]. A.
B. Wilson of New York. The armories
have all got to be RACED to the ground"
cried this friend of the people in a
sermon touching the Brooklyn strike.
The people will rise in their might
and destroy them withtheir ballot"
Alas, good preacher, the people do not
know enough to do even this. What
can you expect from workmen who are
willing to enlist in the militia that is
kept nowadays for the sole purpose
OF downing strikers; and what can you
expect from the people whose heads
are filled with tariff questions, silver
disputes and brotherhood quarrels?
Perhaps education will teach them the
truth, if they would only read, if they
would only think.-International

The Corporation Papers Should Not Be
Read by Producers.


Read by Producers.
Do you know that nearly all the dali
les of the country are big corporations?
Do you know that the presidents and
stockholders of these corporations are
also, nearly always, presidents or
stockholders of some other corpora
tiOns; railroad, or telegraph or STAN
dard Oil, or coal, iron, -four, in fact
everything in which money can be in
vested at a good rate Of interest and
profit? These corporations are linked
with each other, either through money
interest, blood relationship or social in
tercourse, into large network, cover
ing the entire country, taking in mag
istrates, senators, judges, officers Of the
army and others; so that, in most cases,
our daily press, by its very make up,
is the mouthpiece Of corporation, the
lawmakers are the agents Of corpora
ton, the judges are the attorneys OF
corporation, the army is the instrument
of corporation, even most ministers Of
the gospel wear glasses Of corporation.
How can we expect otherwise. We
ourselves breathe the air Of corpora
ton, live and move and have our being
in corporation. We are brought up BY
corporation; our school books are fur
nished by corporation; our earliest ed
ucation, which leaves the deepest i'm
preston upon the minds of men and
women, is under the strict supervision
of corporation; the iron law Of wages"
is forged by corporation; the law Of
supply and demand is controlled by
corporation; our very lives are regulat-
ed by corporation, being with many
mouths and no eyes, no feelings, no
soul. Do you know all this? Do you
ever think of all this? If so, how can
you know all this if you do not sup
port an independent paper?-Interna-
tional Railroader.

The security of the bank notes pro-
posed is only 80 per cent. On the other
hand the government might issue
enough legal tender greenbacks to in
crease the present currency to $50 per
capita, and all the wealth of all the
people of the nation would be behind
it, insuring security by a backing OF
over three thousand per cent for each
all and every government note

The moneyed men of the country,
having secured during the depression
a great deal of cheap property by fore
closure and otherwise, now desire
temporary expansion of currency so
that they may dispose Of their steal
ings. But they want bank notes that
can be contracted when they get ready
to make another haul. They are OPP
posed to government issues which
would make the expansion permanent.

The Republican Party aud Free Coinage

The Republican Party aud Free Coinage
You fellows who yet hope that the
republican party will ever give the
people free coinage of silver, gaze upon
the following editorials taken from the
leading republican dailies of the Unit
ed States:
The recent Populist conference at St.
Louis, devoted all its intelligence and
energy to devise a scheme for coming
wind and maintaining it at a parity
with gold.-New York Tribune rep.).
Let the democrats propose the re-
tirement of the legal tender notes by a
two per cent long term bond issue
which the national banks can purchase
and use to deposit to secure circulation
to its face value, and they may rely
on republican support.-Chicago Jour-
nal (rep.).
Free silver, under the conditions adj
Yocated by the men who are shouting
for it, has no satnding anywhere in
the country except in four or five min
ing towns. The strength of that senti-
ment has been greatly exaggerated by
the cranks and fanatics who have been
preaching it.-St. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat (rep).
By all means let free silver be the
issue in 1896. The republican party
will ask nothing better than he segre-
cation Of all the silverite cranks into
the Populist party. Let the free silver
democrats join them, and let the honest
money members of both the old parties
support honest money, and there need
be no fear Of the result.-Chicago Jour-
nal.

1t is generally remarked in Kansas
that the reason J. Ralph Burton was
defeated fSr the senatorship was be-
cause he had not yet reopened his as
signation house for the season, and the
republicans had consequently cooled
In the ardor of their convivial love for
him. He was defeated as closely as
was Breckenridge in Kentucky-and
doubtless for the reason that he was
getting too good.

Senator Hill is in favor of the cleo
ton OF senators by popular vote. The

some great leader finds out what the
people are thinking about he is hailed
as a man of original ideas.
