The best man is the best dressed man;
SO say the teachers OF to-day.
And, when a leader is found, if he
cannot be bribed, he is annotated.
Wat Tyler, four hundred and fifty
years ago, led the men of Kent to
London town to ask of the King a re-
turn of those rights which God had
gwen and men with money had stolen
away. The Mayor of London spread
net of treachery and slew him. His
lieutenants, Bail and Straw, were
burned at the stake And to-day his
tory repeats itself. Capital still has
it's Smithhelds, still finds its assassins.
1t sets the blades of it's braves at the
throat of a mans employment, now
that it may no longer slash boldly at
the human neck. 1t rears stake and
plies fagot. and with the torch of its
living burns his character, now that It
cannot make proper ashes OF the man
himself.
It may not thrust its sword through
the breast of some recusant who, re-
membering that he is am American,
will still VOTE. as he sees fit; but it dis
misses him from his trade, blacklists
him in every black council and confer
ence of capital, and makes that starva-
ton which seizes on him and his lit
tie ones do the work of that sword
which capital dared not draw. 1t is
legal to starye, though not to murder,
men: and there be those now moving
heaven and earth for Mckinley who
recall the first as one of the dearest.
as well as one of the Oldest, rights OF
capital. 1t is called in the can't OF

The vessel was completed and operated
by the Hannas and they owe me to-day
more than 500, and there are $50 men
scattered among the lake ports who.
stand ready to testify to this high
handed piece Of Tascaiity in which
Mark Hanna and his brothers were
chief partners. This steel ''freighter"
which we built was known as the
Globe, and is running on the lakes to-
day. Alfred Smith was the foreman
of the riveters on this job.
The Hannas also owned largely the
stock of the Chicago Ship Building
Company in South Chicago, of which
w. /. Babcock is and was the presi-
dent, and this ship company did the
same rascality job, with their men in
the building of the Kearsarge at
South Chicago as was done at Ceve-
land, only the deferred" payment
was made one-third instead of one
half.
GLOBE YARDS SHUT DOWN.
At this present moment there is little
or no work being done in
the Globe yards, at Cleveland,
and it is positively known that
this concern has disregaTded it's men by
order of the Hannas to give political
effect to their talk about the Industrial
stagnation now upon the country.
There are several uncompleted con-
racts in the Globe yard at this moment,
several boats being ON the stocks half
finished, which is conclusive evidence
that the Globe Company has plenty
of work on hand, and that this unwar-
ranted shutdown" was ordered pure
ly for it's effect among the journeymen
in the ship-building trades. AS an
other evidence that the ship-building
industry is thriving to-day in Cleye-
land, the Cleveland Ship Building Com
pany. a rival concern, is working
full force of men.

are the worst paid seamen on the lakes

Washington, Oct. 12.LThis is to
those who work that they may live
and that without regard TO craft or
however their lines be cast. We stand
mid-stream in the flowing tides of
nolitics. 1t may yet be decided to
which bank we will turn. To Those
who guess future by a past, what
follows may be worth a reading.
Finance as an issue Is after all the
merest incident to the campaign. This
is a war declared by the trusts and
corporations, held together as some one
has said, g by the cohesive power Of
plumber on the liberties of free
America; it is capital against labor,
money against throbb;ng, sensate flesh
and blood Tt is the Bourse against
the blouse; the company against the
employee: Wall street against the
farm: the counting room against the
shop: the clink of the dollar against
the clink of the sledge.
AN OLD WAR.
Tt is an old war; a war to rock every
age: it was fought before history be-
gan; it viii be refoug'ht and fought
again down to that last syllable OF
time when the ear1n goes OUT III uaIh-
ness like a spark. 1t is the old story
of the slave-taker who has and who Will
hunt down his prey, whatever the
hour or place, whenever the law ana
the chance are to puryey him a safe
nermit. There is nothing new in it;
not even in it's methods. Men are be-
ing bulled and cajoled as of old; their
votes are being mastered by threat OF
loss or promise of reward. Spies
honeycomb the workpeople; threats
are made to frame and fence them in.
And should they dare to vote against
the dictates of their masters and their
masters money, every arrangement
has been made to cut them down.
This is a day when money strives TO
set the fashion, and by that fashion
rule. It is being taught that it is bet
ter to be respectable" than TO be right

at Cleveland. Forward in the dark
forecastle were huddled a group of his
sailors. Wiley boarded, and bedded
still more vile, no one would envy
them.
Before this I've told how in the SOS
Hanna beat down the Seaman's Union
of the lakes; how he laid the axe of
his greed at the roots and felled it;
how he destroyed it as structure,
ploughed and sowed its site with salt.

on sneh terms as those. Fifteen years
aeo these men were getting $50 per

paying that wage But rapacity dome

MKINI4EY'S DEBT FETTERS.
Hanna makes but one claim to
charity performed; demands to be
credited with but one act of benevo-
lent grace Hanna and his White
House syndicate paid McKinley's
debts.
But when one prizes into this gen
erous gust of money-giving one finds
that the $11s,000 worth of McKinley's
notes are still preserved, unreceipted,
by the syndicate, and undestroyed.
They are not McKinley's yet. They
are the chains and letters which bind
him to the will of this syndicate. They
are the reasons-these S118000 worth
of pron1,ssory notes-why Mckinley
substitutes gold" for silver" in his
ritual of finance, and bows tamely
to this syndicate, a mere prisoner OF
debt.
McKinley's partner, Walker, signed
these notes with the candidate. we'll
the syndicate one day push against
Walker for their collection? IF such
comes he may have contribution from
Mckinley for his half, as one who
was partner for profit as for loss. Why
does not Walker tell the story of the
Mckinley Walker failure? 1t was but
three short years ago. Why does not
Mckinley tell it? If all was perfect
white, why does not Hanna tell it?
or might not Hal Taylor, the McKin-
ley-Waller assignee, lay bare the
facts? And why are the papers of the
McTxinley-W failure kept locked
and keyed against inquiry, while the
tongue of every clerk who had aught
to do with their custody is made
dumb to your questioning?
WHY RATHBONE CONTRIBUTED"
and this $118,000 to free McEin-
ley says Hanna, was the spontane-
ons offering Of a grateful people.
There is a gentleman named Rath
bone, who lives at Hamilton, Ohio.
He was a contributor to the "McKin-
ley Fund" to pay that candidates
debts. He contributed" at the sin,
yitatation" of the Hanna Syndicate.
cause, he says, he, like others, was
promised political preferment if he
contributed" and political exile if
he refused.
Let Hanna answer. What of this
Rathbone story? And how many prom
ises of office within and without the
syndicate were founded ON this fund
to pay MeKinley's debts, SO "spon-
taneously the offering of grateful
people?" Or were we to understand
in this instance that the people, like
Talleryrand. were only grateful" for
fayors to come?
But why waste words? One might
as well ask for the keys of a kings
prison as the facts touching the pay
ment of the Mckinley Walker debts
from the Hanna syndicate.

American insurance is carried by these

is now entering its tenth year, largely
increased in circulation and in every
way improved, until 1t deserves the
national reputation it has attained. His
1897 Almanac is now ready and is by far
the finest and most beautiful he has yet
issued. 1t contain l0S pages, includ
ing cover artistically printed in colors,
and is filed from back to back with Just
what is wanted in shop, office and home
in America. One feature of the Alman-
&C for 1897 is a series of IL original,
beautifully engraved star maps, with
explanatory chapters. which could not
be bought tor less than five dollars in
any work on astronomy. AS Mr.. Hicks
has SO correctly and faithfully warned
the public of coming d%roughts. floods,
cold waves, bllzzards, tornadOes and
cyclones, in the years past. aside from
the other varied and splendid features
of his paper and Almanac, these consid
erdtions alone should prompt every

President Hancher has not left the Hills
nor the college, but is camping in the
east foraging for supplies of which he
is getting some. The college does work
in several departments, academic, musi-
cal, normal, business and collegiate.
The course is elective, or better, Sc
~lective, and students attending choose
their studies, unless they take the en-
tire course. Graduates from high
schools and the normal school enter the
fourth year academic, requiring five
years more than this grade of schools
to complete the course. Its diplomas
are recognized in all universities. It's
terms are as reasonable as can be made
in this country. There is no boarding
hall, but students find little trouble in
securing good board in private families
at from Sl3 to sic per month. Vice
President Z. L. Lymer is in personal
charge of the school, which is a sufici-
ent guaranty Of good work and the best
influences. The winter term begins
