Rainy weather is so hard upon the chill

active outdoor amusements, and it is
because of this they prove so annoying

can always find plenty of work or recrea-
tion indoors. Few grown folks realize
that it is their duty to cater to the needs
of the weary little ones, so l am going
to tell you a way have found to be
valuable.

can find, advertising cards, labels from
fruit and vegetable cans or from illus

day comes make a pot of flour paste,
put a sheet on the floor in a warm room,
and with some big ledgers bought for the
purpose, / divide the pictures among the

them artistically. Below each picture a

invents a little story about 1t. A great
deal of useful information may be learned

B5llaire, Ohio, October 5.-The Hol.
John A. Howard may well be proud OF
the warm reception rendered him by the
voters of Bellaire, Saturday evening.
City Hall was crowded to the door and
each point the speaker made was cheer
ed to the echo, and after the speech was
ended he was surrounded and warmly
greeted by his Old comrades in toll. The
way Mr.. Howard handled the financial
question has never heen excelled in Bell
aire. but he did not confine himself 10
that issue. There are other questions CT
equal Importance to the wOrkingmen IN
this campaign. The income tax and
government by injunction were shown
TO be matters of as deep concern TO the
wOrkingman as free silver. My obje2t
i'm writing this letter is to call the atJen-
ton of wOrkingmen TO government by
Injunction" You should insist on the
discussion of this plank by every speak
or. You should study the question your
selves. and after having studied the
question you can arrive at no other con-
c!usion than that it is a matter OF the
utmot5 Importance TO labor organiza-
tons. During the great strike Of the
employees Of the Pullman Car Company,
and of The various railroads, an injunc-
ton was issued preventing any employe
from persuading his fellows to cease
work Our American workmen were
surprised when those who disregarded
this violation of their constitutional
rights were arrested for contempt and
sentenced 20 Jail. being denied the right
TO a trial by jury, which is accorded to
thieves and murderers. The Chicago
platform condemns this injustice, and
vet this plank is denounced by j. B.
Foraker and other gold bug speakers as
anarchy. The life of every trade union
in the country depends upon the persua-
sion of its members. Will not vote
against the Chicago ticket be an en-
dorsement of government by injunc-
tion?" Would not such vote be an
indication that you do not favor an IL
come tax? Every labor crusher in the
aouutry favOrs government by injune-
ton" because he knows that ultimately
It viii break down the only barrier be
tween the workingman and slavery. All
the great capitalists oppose an income
tax because they know they would have

Monarchy itself is sometimes limited

] could scarcely be justified were l TO
omit raising a warning voice against
this approach OF returning deSpOtiSm.
Il is not needed nor fitting here that a
general argument should be made in
favor of popular institutions; but there
is one point with its connections not so
hackneyed as most others, to which
ask a brief attention. 1t is the effort
to place capital on an equal footing
with. if not above labor, in the structure
Of government. Ii is assumed that labor
is available only in connection with
capital. that nobody labOrS unless some
body else owning capital somehow by
the use Of it induces him 20 labor ;
Labor is prior to, and independent Of,
capital. Capital is only the fruit Of
labor. and could never have existed if
labor had not first existed. Labor is
the superior of capital. and deserves
much the highest consideration.
No men living are more worthy to be
trusted than those who toll up from
poverty; none less inclined to take or
touch ought which they have not ION
