Sovereign Speaks to Labor.
ROCKY Mountain News.1

There is no middle ground on
which labor and non-producing,
specializing capitalists can ever
meet i'll harmony and friendship.
The one class is the mortal foe
of the other. Since the dawn of
civilization these two elements
have maintained, In one form or
another, one unbroken chain of
hostility towards each other.
They meet and clash like the
meeting of tidal waves and re-
cede to meet and clash again at
the first commotion. These two
contending elements will meet in
this country at the ballot box
next November, the speculative
class representing q monetary
system based on gold, bonds, and
a banking autocracy ruling over
the nations currency. On the
other hand labor representing
free coinage of silver, payment
of the bonds, and the govern
ment issue of all the money of
the country.
The non-producing spectators
in money being few and labor
many. the bond grabbing and
gold-gambling spectators in this
contest invade the ranks of labor
for recruits to carry on their
work of degradation and destruc-
ton. They first make false
claim to all the honesty, all the
morality and all the philanthropy
in the world. They then charge
the advocates of free silver with
dishonesty, Reputation and an
archy. They then pose before
the world as the ordained defend
ers and saviors of the poor, down
trodden working people. If
ever there was a case of stealing
the livery of heaven to serve the
devil it is expressed in the atti-
tude of the money power towards
labor at the opening of this cam
paign.
But they do not stop there.
They put into operation the three
most potent powers known to
conspirators: deception, bribery
and coercion. The orders already
given by the money power when
epitomized mean: Persuade all
who will be pursuaded, buy all
who will be bought and coerce
the balance. Their persuaders,
their buyers and their coercers
are already in the field. And
the victim they seek is labor.
Wall street is taking snuff in the
name of labor and all the money
sharks are sneezing for the poor
working people of America.

Veil-Known Detroitcr Crushed to Death.
Edward Henllel, son of Peter Henkel,
of Detroit, was instantly killed at Port
Huron. Mr.. Henkel, and a party of
IA, including his wife and brother,
Walter, were their way to Mackinaw,
on board the yacht Azalla, which is
owned by Mr. Henkel. The yacht tied
up at Port Huron to make some neces-
sary repairs to the engine and to take
some ice aboard. While laying at the
dock the steam barge Saginaw stopped
just outside the Azalia for the purpose
of tying up mt the dock as soon as the
Azalia pulled out.
Shortly afterward the steam barge
Normandie, of Green Bay, was passing
up. When nearly abreast of the Sagi-
nav the boat commenced to sheer in
toward the dock and the Saginaw
started to back out of the way. Capt.
Whipple, Capt. David Sidney and Ed.
Henkel were on the deck of the Azalia,
and seeing the Normandie steering i'm
toward the boat, sprang to the dock
and threw off the lines and at
tempted to pull the yacht aft
so as to get her out of the way.
In doing this the yacht drfted away
from the dock few feet and Mr..
Henkel lost his balance and fell. AS
he was falling he caught hold of the
gunwale of the yacht. AT this moment
the Normandie struck the side of the
yacht and drew her up against the
dock. Capt. Whipple and Capt. Sidney
grabbed hold of Mr.. Henkel and at
tempted to pull him out, but before
they could do SO he was pinched by
the yacht striking the deck. The Nor
mandie also struck the Saginaw, break
ing off her stem and causing her to
leak badly. The yacht loosened up on
the unfortunate man, but before any
advantage could be taken of this the
Normandie again struck the yacht and
forced it hard against the dock, and
Mr.. HenlSel was caught between the
dock and the fender rail on the side of
the yacht. The rail struck him right
across the groins and as the boat came
against the dock the blood gushed
from his nose, mouth and ears. The
unfortunate man died instantly, as he
was almost cut in two.

Terrific rornadoes Sweep Michigan.

The larger portion of the southern
peninsula of Michigan was swept by
two, and in some places three, storms
in one night, which wrought wreck
and ruin at many points.
Saginaw never experienced worse
storms and the damage there will
reach 100000. The lightning was in
cessant and rain fell in torrents. The
tower of the jefferson Avenue M. T..
church was struck by lightning and
completely demolished, crushing in the
front part of the roof and causing a
loss of $4,000. The Michigan Avenue
Baptist church was damaged by wind.
The roof of Bartlett's foundry was
taken off and $1,000 loss sustained.
The turning room, S0X200 feet, at the
Palmerton Woodenware Co. S factory
was unroofed, half the south wall was
blown down and the dry kilns badly
damaged; loss $4,000. The Saginaw
Electric Light Co. had of 10 towers
ruined at loss of $4,000. Part of the
roof of the f. &c p. M. car shop was
blown off, 1913 panes of glass were
broken, the purchasing store partly
unroofed and other buildings damaged.
About ST, 900 loss was caused at the
w. ID. Mershon & Co. plant, and nu-
merous other factories suffered similar
loss. Trees, fences, out buildings, ETC.
were tossed about like toys. The
south wall of the power house of the
new Inter-Urban railway was knocked
down and the boilers driven back about
n foot. The damage to crops and or
chards will reach 100000.
From every direction reports of like
heavy losses have been received and it
would seem that the damage could not
be covered by less than 81, 900, 900.
