OUR LIBERTIES THREATENED.

A new issue has arisen in this
campaign in the past few weeks
which has eclipsed even the money
question, and that is the right of the
voter to cast his ballot as his con
science dictates, without fear OF
bodily harm or Of sacrificing the
means of subsistence for himself
and family. With the right conced
ed OF the employer to coerce the
employee in his right of franchise
and our boasted government of lib
erty and free institutions crumbles
and falls to the ground. The rights
OF all men under the law are and can
only be protected by the free ballot.
Deprive the American working man
of that right and he becomes no bet
ter than the serf of monarchical gov
ernments. He is a free man no
longer, and had better be the slave
of kind master than the puppet of
soulless corporation which uses
his own vote to Cypress and drag
him down to squalor, ignorance
and degradation. Never before in
the history of this government has
corporate tyranny so openly and no,
toriously used the great wealth and
power, given it by law, to coerce its
employees. In our own little city are
railroad employees, who few weeks
ago were pronounced iu their sup
port of the democratic nominee for
president, to day will tell you they
''are not discussing politics" and are
afraid to say how they are going to
vote. 1t is charged by the Post
Dispatch and not denied by the pro
prietors, that on Saturday last D.
Crawford 4 Co.. one of the largest
department stores in ST. Louis, dis.
charged twelve of their most trusted
employees because they declared
their intention of voting for free sill.

country comes the same plea, from

oppression and coercion Of the

outrage continue and we remain
free aud independent people. That
question should now be settled so
emphaticaIly that never again will it
be raised in American politics.
