LABOR has lost another battle. The
strike of the Brooklyn street car men
for living wages and the fulfllment Of
the contract made by employing COM
panies is practically broken. Wealth
is far mora powerful than the right of
manhood, and the military are ever
ready to shoot down laboringmen who
dare array themselves against oppres-
sion. No benefits can be derived from
strikes, which are but incoherent pro
tests against a system that protects
the strong and wealthy even to the ex
tent of homicide, and brushes out the
lives Of Workingmen. But these same
work ingmen have it in their power tC
win a grand strike that viii do away
with the necessity of all others fol
evermore. The ballot of the poor man
is as powerful as that of the rich. By
inaugurating grand strike at the bal
lot box, the laboringmen of the United
States can do away with the wrong;
that grind them, equalizs the condi
tions of labor and capital and break
the chains that bind them to the tread
mill of servitude. And until this i;
done labor will continue to lose strikes
continue to be targets for the militia
continue to be hungry, homeless
wretched and destitute.

MORE BONDS.

The call for more bonds has been
made. 1t was not unexpected and had
been predicted by the Peoples party
papers for some time. 1t is only the
natural result of the shuttle-cock game
between the money sharks of Wall
street and the treasury department.
As soon as the gold was paid in for the
last issue of bonds the shylOcks began
drawing it out and making ready to
buy the issue that was to come. They
have been so successful that the climax
was reached sooner than their most
fond hopes anticipated. Monday Presi-
dent Cleveland sent a special message
to congress asking that something be
Immediately done to relieve the strain
on the treasury and to maintain the
nations credit, and advised that the
secretary of the treasury be empower
ed to issue more bonds, payable, inter
est and principal, in gold.
AS long as the secretary Of the treas
ury persists in redeeming silver certif-
Gates, greenbacks, treasury notes and
silver coin in gold, so long viii the
drain upon the treasury continue, so
long viii the nations treasure house
be the lawful prey of the greedy, ayari-
cious and unprincipled cutthroats of
Wall street The government resources
are placed at their mercy. The gold is
not being used for export. but as a
money-maker for the Unsuitable money
changers and goId-bugs Of the east.
Should the secretary of the treasury
take advantage Of the privilege granted
him and meet the next demand for
gold with silver the drain would cease
Immediately, the financial question
would solve itself. There is millions Of
silver coin in the treasury and the adj
ministration is guilty Of a reasonable
crime when it seeks to einch another
bond issue upon the people while the
silver surplus is stir intact.

WALL STREET told the American peo-
pie that if the coinage of silver was
stopped prosperity would return and
the government would have no more
trouble about keeping gold in the
treasury. Silver coinage was STONED
but prosperity has not come and the
government is having more trouble to
keep up the gold reserve than an old
hen would have with a flock of duck
lings on the shore of q pond. We have
several times asked Wall street or any
body else to explain this, but nobody
explains. Nobody cares to explain
The friends of the repeal of the silver
law knew that they we're talking rot
when giving their reasons for repeal.
They wanted to get rid OF silver because
it was the peoples money, aud to tie to
gold because it was the money of Wall
street. They did not care any more
about general prosperity than a COW
does for tapestry to sleep on. They
wanted to get tighter grip upon the
debtor and they got it. They depressed
the value of property greatly and in
creased the value Of debts heavily. In
all deceney, now that the repeal Of the
silver clause of the Sherman law has
failed to do one single thing that it was
promised to do, congress should con
Aess its error and restore silver to its
=, proper place.

MEMBERS of congress who believe in
the income tax as an equitable method
Of raising revenue are gratifed at the
Unexpectedly good showing Of the pre-
liminary canvass made by the collec-
tors of internal revenue at the direc-
ton of Secretary Carlisle. They be-
lieve that the greater the amount reali-
zed from this tax the more firmly
rooted as a part of the policy of the
government will it become. Represea-
tative McMillen of Tennessee, says that
if a large per cent Of the revenue Of the
government is derived from this plan
any attempts to repeal it before the ex-
piration of the fye-year limit fixed by
the Wilson bill viii be exceedingly m
popular and that the greater the rev.
enue derived from it the greater win
be the probability Of its re-enactment
at the end Of its term. Before the pro-
position to tax incomes was before con
gEesss, the profits to be derived from it
were estimated first at s15,OO0O9O to
slS,OOO0OO. Later the estimate of the
committee was raised to s30,000,Oa0.
Later Mr.. Hall of Missouri, who has
given to the theory and history Of the
income tax more than any other man
in the house, did not place the total be-
low S50,O00090 From the results Of Che
canvass Of the internal revenue bureau
it appears that Mr.. Hall was more
nearly correct than the other forecas
ters. He now says that the income tax
may yield s60,OO0,OO0, and it is known
that the treasury department officials
do not place its results below that
mark. The showing made by IS Of the
63 districts gives ground for the esti,
mate that about 10000 persons and
corporations wiz contribute to the
treasury by this plan

DEBT AND INTEREST.

Senator Daniel Of Virginia, in a
speech, stated the private indebtedness
of this country at S19,7OO,OOO,OOO; 1885
of the corporations including the rail
ways, owe $14,OOO,OOO,0OO; national and
state debts amount to S1O,OOOCO0,0OO
more, total of nearly S44,0OO,OO0,OOO.
These all bear interest, and 8 per cent
is a low estimate. Then the various
banks owe depOsitors about s50000O0,-
000 To meet this mountain of debt;
we have, estimated, S575,OOO,OOO of gold
and enough silver and currency in all
forms to bring the total to S1,6O000O-
900 Including all reserves. The annu-
al interest on the 4,OOO,OOO,OOO above is
S3,52O,OO0,0OO.
In order to present to the mind in a
simple manner, the enormity and i'm
mensity of this amount, the reader Is
referred to the list below, showing the
value of all the leading productions Of

leans his head on the topmOgt rail,
looks at the donkeys in the field Of
clover, and feels like nihilist.
In the days Of eannibalism the strong
devours the actually ate their
flesh. In spite of all laws that man has
made, in spite of all advances in
science, the strong, the heartless still
live on the weak, the unfortunate, the
foolish. True, they do not eat their
flesh OF drink their blood, bat they live
on their labor, on their self denial,
their WEAKNESS and want. The poor
man who deforms himself by toll, who
laboFs for his wife and children through
all his anxious, barren, wasted Ife-who
goes to the grave without ever having
luxury-has been the food Of others.
He has been devoured by his fellow
men. The poor women living in the
bare and lonely room, cherries and
freless, sewing night and day to keep
starvation from her child, is slowly be-
ing Gated by her fellow men. When I
take into consideration the agony of
civilized life. the failures, the anxiety,
the tears, the withered hopes, the bit
ter realities, the hunger, the crime, the
humiliation, the shame-I am almost
forced to say that cannibalism, after
all, is the most merciful form in which
man has ever lived upon his fellow
man.
It is impossible for a man with
good heart to be satisfied with this
world as it is now No man can truly
enjoy even what he earns-what he
knows to be his own-know that mil
lions of his fellow men are in misery
and want. When we think of the fam
ished, We feel that it is almost heart
less to eat. To meet The ragged and
shiVering makes one almost ashamed to
be well dressed and warm-ons feels as
though his heart was as cold as their
bodies.
In a world filled with millions and
millions of acres of land waiting to be
titled, where one man can raise the
food for hundreds, yet millions are on
the edge of famine Who can compre-
bend the stupidity at the bottom of
this truth?
Is there to be no change?
Are the laws of supply and de-
mand," invention and science monOpo-
" and competition, capital and legisla-
tion, always to be enemies of those who
toll? VIII the workers always be ig-
nOrant enough and stupid enough to
give their earnings to the useless?
Will they support millions of soldiers
to kill the sons Of other Workingmen?
VIII they always build temples and
live in huts and dens themselves? VIII
they forever allow parasites and YAM
pires to live on upon their blood? VIII
they remain the slaves of the beggars
they support? VIII honest men stop
taking off their hats to successful
frauds? Will industry, in the presence
of crowned idIeness, forever fall upon
its knees sand will the lips unstained
by lies forever kiss the robbers and
impositor's hands? VIII they under
stand that beggars cannot be generous,
and that every healthy man must earn
the right to live. VIII they finallysay
that the man who has had equal pgivi-
leges with all others has no right to
complain or will they follow the ex-
ample that has been set by their op-
pressors? Will they learn that force,
to succeed, must have thought behind
it and that anything done, in order that
it may succeed, must rest on justice?

ture in so years.
How can the administration be so
puerile as to advise the government to
borrow and pay interest upon that
which it alone can create?
How long will the people of the Uni
ted States submit to the juggling Of the
nations finance for the benefit of a few
money changers and usurers?
1t is time they called a halt upon
such proceedings. It is time to call
the public servants, who are response
bic for this condition. to account, and,
if necessary, impeach and charge them
with treason. The crime for which
"traitor" was coupled to namel of
Benedict Arnold was not more heinous
than this.

TARIFF INEQUALITIES.

Complaint is made of the low price
of wheat, as of all breadstuffs. The
American farmer is the victim of this
diminished value of his product be
cause, it is asserted, that he is not suf-
ficiently protected by existing tariff
laws.
The American wheat producer com
petes with the wheat grower of South
America, of India, and of Russia. He
completes, too, with the producers of
bread stuffs wherever raised. The pro-
lection laws as they exist under the
Wilson enactment and as they have
existed during the whole era Of pro
lection spoke the word of promise to
the ear of the American agriculturist
and broke it to the hope.
What is the specification? Labor
saving farm machinery originated in
the United States. That machinery is
sold in India, Russia and South Amer
lea. 1t is put down at the barnyards
of foreign wheat growers, nOtwith-
standing their distance from the place
of manufacture, at a price much lower
than the Ameri 3an farmer is compelled
to pay to the manufacturer, though he
is Immediately in the neighbOrhood of
the factory.
Protection has enabled the maker of
agricultural instruments to levy toll
upon the American farmer far greater
than he demands from the South
American, the Indian, or the Russian
agriculturist, whose product comes in
the markets Of the world in direct
competition with the farm products of
America.
And that disadvantage to the Amer
lean farmer is to be still further en-
phasized. Upon the plea of benefit to
American manufacturers and lab0rers
the drawback system has been author
lied. He who imports a manufactured
material into this country and, chang
ing its form or use, exports it, is en-
titled to a drawback of the entire
amount of duty paid, less one per
cent. The agricultural implement
makers of the United States have dis
covered that by purchasing steel in
England they can employ it in their
implements at their manufactures in
America and send these implements to
their customers the world over outside
of the United States and get the ben
eft of the drawback, thus helping
them still further to accommodate the
customer abroad while compelling the
customer in America to pay an en-
HANGED price.
This is one Of the glazing disadvsn-
tages Of the protection system to the
producer in this country.
The system, even if We might grant
that as a whole it is beneficial, has
other injustices. Merchants import
large quantities OF manufactured goods.
They are assessed at a certain rate,
and, the tax being paid, the goods are
passed on 10 the consumer with that
customs tax upon them. But the im-
porter protests that q different ciassif-
cation ought 80 obtain. whereby the
goods would be duitabla at a lover

These II leading productions are all
needed to pay the interest. This does
not all reach market, for grain must be
reserved for feed and seed as well as
for family use. The producers must
live, and hence only small proportion
can be spared to pay interest, and as a
result the capital, including land and
factory plants, being assigned OF fore
closed to pay the interest and soon all
will be absorbed by the debt sponge.
