bladder, and either all of these organs parts

namely, the discharge from the part affected of
mucous or some form Of corruption. Those parts

of the breathing apparatus. the nose, throat and
bronchial tubes. The for this il that the
disease, which starts n cold. usually affects
these parts most, and when a cold is once set I'd
the dust and irritating particles from the atmos-
phere are brought constantly In contact with the
infnmed membranes which become irritated and
the disease is thus kept alive and aggravated This
accounts for the fact that catarrh is prevalent
among those who work in dusty Places and that
1t is so common in the dry windy periods Of the
fall and spring months
Catarrh usually starts with a cold in the head

THE SPANISH CAME BACK.
Went Out to Capture the Insurgents
Position.


The steamer Triton arrived at Havana,
Cuba, yesterday, from Bahia Honda, &C
cording to a New York Herald special,
bringing fifty-eight Spanish soldiers, wound
ed in the recent battle of Cacarajicara. A
large crowd waited at the wharf until the
landing of the steamer, anxious to learn
particulars of the engagement Both sides
fought with desperation, according to the
story told by the officers engaged on the
Spanish side.
Gen. Suarez Inclan was Friday morning
at Bahia Honda, and in obedience to orders
was about to attack Cacarajicara. A coun-
tryman appeared at headquarters and said
that he knew the location of Maceo's camp.
He agreed to serve as guide and surprise
the rebels. The troops, with two pieces of
artillery, advanced over bad, rocky road,
surrounded by steep mountains. There was
perfect quiet except for the tramp of the
soldiers feet and the breezes rustling in
the branches.
Suddenly from all sides came a terrific
musketry fire, but the troops pressed on.
Ihey went forward until they reached a
pocket in the road, where a town showed
and the Notifications above. Darkness found
the troops In this position. They lay awake
all night under constant fire, with no food
or drink. At the first sign Of dawn the
Spanish general ordered the guns to the
front to attack the Entertainments. Sue
cessive charges were made, the Spanish say
with success, the Cubals declare with de-
feat. At any rate the Spanish came back.
The return march was very difficult, the
enemy being scattered all through the hills
and firing from every point The progress
was slow on account OF the wounded SOL
diers The official Spanish report says 1000
Spanish and 5000 to 5000 insurgents were
engaged in ALL
The defense Of tho Notifications Is said to
nave been conducted by Maceo, Socarras
and Quintin Bandera :,
Suarez 1nclan made an address, thanking
his soldiers for their vaaors, which, he said,
deserved a place in the best pages Of Span

The catarril has again advanced II has invaded
the bronchial tubes. The bronchial tubes convey
the air from the wndpipe to the lungs. The

USUAL HISTORY OF CATARRH.

The history Of an average case Of catarrh is
Ike this: A person is exposed he feels a chilly
sensation on the surface of the body, he has q
creepy feeling running down his back. he sneezes,
he may even SILVER little, the feels stopped
up 1t then gets sore, there is sense of fullless

may be headache. Now the bones feel Sore he ID
feverish, don't feel like eating, and when he re-
tires TO- the night he Is restless He can't breathe
through his nose, AID as result, sleeps with his
mouth open. When he arises the next morning ne
is not bit refreshed, but actually more tired
than when he went TO bed. Toward noon the nose
Is likely to discharge. first, watery material,
then mucous, or. maybe little pus mixed with
blood. His head is ROW clear, but toward night
1t stops up again. and he passes another wretched
interval while trying sleep. If treated properly
at this stage no harm will result.
Catarrh of the Throat.
Likely, however. witt in Il few days he takes
More cold and has another chilly sensation. II
shivers little may sneeze some more; again
his bones ache and he notices that his head is
80 much stopped up, and that he can breathe
better through the nose. Now however, the throat
begins to feel dry and husky, and he wants to be
clearing 1t all the time. He feels Though there
We're n Eorsehair in 1t, or as though there was
something there which, IL he could only get up,
would give instant relief. He is irritable, and
on retiring may fall asleep but wakes up
with perched sensation in the throat and feeling
hot and feverish. His throat is as dry as 4 chip
and he wants to swallow all the time, and the
sensation OF swallowing pain in the throat.
Toward noon he is some better, and he begins 10

But one night, after being out TO a gathering he
notices that lac Is feeling chilly again. and when
he attempts to speak he finds that he is hoarsa;
his voice Is husky. He goes to bed. passes a rest
less night, and when he gets up the next morning

SOCIALISM AND TRADES UNION
To The Organized Workingmen
and Women of minnesota.

FELLOW WORKERS: Since Il
few self-appointed "labor leaders,
have been industrious1y cultivat-
ing the opinion among the organ
lied working people, that the So
cialist Labor Party is hostile to
trades-unionisnn,i it is necessary and
proper for us to put an end to their
misrepresentation by making
full and plain statement OF our
position.
There are two great classes III
society. On the one hand there are
the capitalists, who own practically
all the land, railroads, factories,
machinery and other means of pro-
duction--who do no useful work,
but who put into their pockets
every day in the form of rent, inter-
est and profits, from fifty to seven
ty-fvc per cent of all the wealth
that is produced. This class is
small in numbers, but by means OF
it's wealth, it is able to hold the rest
of the people in subsection; and 1t
is daily growing richer and more
tyranniCal On the other hand
there is the working-class men
who own practically nothing, who
do all the useful WORK, who pro-
duce all wealth, but who enjoy only
a small share of what they create.
This class comprises the great ma
jority of the people,; they are help
less TODAY; but when they become
class-conscious, they will be IRE
sistible.
How is it that the capitalist gets
a large share of the wealth for do
ing no work, while the worker gets
but pittance: 1t is because, under
the wage-systen1, in which the poor
man must beg for permission to
work, the whole product belongs to
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1896-11-21

the capitalist, who returns to the
worker, as wages, share fixed 10y
competition in the labOr-narket--
share, which, in general, is just
sufficient to provide the worker
living.
This is the system under which
we live. 1t is a good system tor the
capitalist and very bad system
for the wage-worker. Their inter-
ests are Numerically opposed. The
capitalist who wishes to go on liv-
ing at leisure, enjoying every lux
ury, and playing the master, is in
terested in keeping up the wage
system, by which he tleeces the
toilers. TO do this he divides them
on sham issues and deludes them
with false hopes. But the working
men who are tleeced are interested
in doing away with the wage-sys-
tenn and securing to each one the
chance to work and en- JOY the whole
product Of his labor. TO accom-
plish this, they must stand united,
class-conscious, independents; they
must boldly defy their oppressor;
they must fight him by every
means in their power DO the
trades unions recognize this TACT:
TO a certain extent they do; other
wise there is no excuse for their ex-
istence. The only object OF the
militant trades-u1ion is to tight the
battle of the wage-workers against
their capitalist masters. 1t the IN
terest of capital and labor were
identical, the strike and the boy
colt would be foolish and suicidal.
The trades-unions are right III
tight ting against the capitalist class
for higher wages, for shorter hours
for more decent conditions OF
labor, for whatever they can get
The Socialist Labor Party indorses
and supports them in this hight.
The National convention OF the
party has passed this resolution:
"Whereas we recognize the necess-
ity Of carrying on the war against
capitalism simultaneously on the
political and economic fields, there
fore, be it resolved, that we recon-
mend to all Socialists to join the or
carnations of the trades to when
they respectfully belong.'
And the history of the party sup
ports this declaration. We cite
on1v one instance: The conduct OF
the S. L. P. in the Twin Cities dur
ing the last printers strike, when
the party not only offered it's SYM
