a great many people seem TO 20 upon
the theory that employees ought naturally
to be opposed to whatever cause is es-
poused by their employers. Is there any
particular reason why upon great eco
nomic question OF government, the intel
lisenL workingman should not entertain
the same correct views as those Of any
well informed and sensible man, even if
he IS his employer? And must 1t be said
he is coerced il he does agree with him?
The Candidate denounces the Republi-
can platform as a fraud and denounces
Editor Kohlsaat for saying one thing in
his paper and another thing in that plat
form. one plank Of which Mr.. Kohlsaat
is said TO have written. That sort OF
deception is most offensive to the Candi-
dates moral sense. but he has no hest
fancy in advising workingmen to wear
Mckinley badges and yet vote Tor Bryan

speech in Chicago and declared that no
