STRIKES DON'T PAY
Mr.. DEBS DECLARES THAT ALL
PROVE FAILURES.
Presides at tho Opening Session of the Ns-
tional Conference and Appeals to
Labor Organ ixstions to Stand
Together.

CHICAGO, Sept. 28.-About 200 rep.
resentatives Of various labor organiza.
tions were present in Orphous hall in
the Schiller building to attend the ma.
tional labor conference called by the
St. Louis convention. Many organiza.
tions affiliated with the American Fed
Grafton of Labor were represented, but
these delegates said they were not there
in an official capacity. President E. v.
Debs Of the Social Democracy was
called to the platform and explained
the objects Of the conference. He ap-
pealed to the representatives Of all labor
organizations to work. together toward
the amelioration of the present condi-.
ton Of the laboring classes.
.'Strikes don't pay" said Mr.. Debs.
"Al strikes are lost. They are useless.
They are caused by the employing
classes. When capitalists get ready for
strike they provoke it, knowing well
their cause is won before the conflict is
begun. The various labor unions Of
this country have all they can do to take
care Of their own men. Never was this
better 'exemplifed than in the recent
miners strike.
'tNever in my experience have I seen
strike which had the sympathy Of the
public, and even Of part of the en-
ploying class, as that one did, and yet
when an appeal was made for financial
aid, less than Z cents per striking miner
was received"
E. M. Bannister of st. Louis was
elected chairman of the convention, and
w. r. Carrick Of Pennsylvania, secre-
tary. The, secretary read the formal
call for the convention, and the dele
gates handed in their crededtials.
There was much bitter criticism Of
the action Of President Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor, in adj
vising members not to attend the meet
ing.
The afternoon session was taken up
with approving credentials and listen
ing to addresses. .

ticket in this county, got to say to
that proposition?
-
Most encouraging reports are COM
ing in from all parts of the County.
The better the people become ac-
quainted with the Republican candi
dates, the warmer is their endorse
ment. Republicans everywhere are
enthusiastic over the complete vindi-
dation of last years arguments by
this years events, while the OppOsi-
ton forces are correspondingly dis
Outraged. With a full vote at the
polls, which every Republican should
make it his duty to assure, there
seems no reasonable doubt that our
entire ticket will be elected by ma
jority largely in excess of that given
last year.
~
Exchange: Just why should voter
cast his ballot for the Populist ticket
this year? Does he want TO endorse
a party which absolutely repudiated
it's campaign promises? Does a POpu-
list want to vote for ticket which is
afraid to stand on POpulist platform
Does Free Silver Republican want
to vote for a party which is going
back on silver except as vote getting
issue, for party which threatens the
courts, which affiliates with socialists,
which is now hunting for a new issue,
which believe in fiat money if it be-
lieves in anything? Does a Democrat
want to be counted with party which
favors government ownership OF
practically everything and the prac-
tical abolition of industrial rights
Does the voter who wants good,
economical government desire to
register along with Lewelling, and
Chase, and TOUGHER? This Is a good
year to bury crankisms, and dema-
goguery in one grave and bury them
deep.

When you come right down to the

Here is some good Republican testi-
mony from the secretary of the Kan
sas City Livestock exchange:
Every steer now sold at the stock yards in
this city brings from s. to IS more than the
same kind of steer brought year ago. every
calf, froEl s. to So every hog from s. to SS.2

Laurence Journal: The lola REG
IsTER continues its offer TO pay the
expenses of any Pop. orator who will
come to its town and repeat the speech
he made last fall. There will be no
takers. The Pop. orators know just
as well as do all the thinking people
that the history made during the last
year has made monkeys of them and
they are not going on exhibition.
-.
The way to begin defeating fusion
in 1898 is TO work against fusion in
1897. A vote for the Republican can
didate this fall is vote in favor of a
man who will help elect our State
and national ticket in 1898 and 1900.
A vote for the fusion candidate means
that you are willing to help elect a
man who will contribute his time and
money to defeat Republican candi-
date in 1898 and 1900.
