The latest charge against the
jury system is, that 'juries are
honeycombed with socialism. :"
It would be interesting to a So
cia1ist to learn how the fellow
who prefers that charge defines
"socialism." Ifjuries are honey
combed with this economic phi
1osophy, to most thinking men
it is an evidence that the masses
of the people are likewise indoc-
trinated Herewith. And as
about all of the institutions
of the American republic that
are really commendable are So
cia1istic in their nature, it would
be Interesting to know what the
political ideals of those who de-
plore the socialism of juries,
really are like. The postal sys-
TEN and the public school sys-
tenn are the pride of American
citizenship. Would it be posi-
bic to describe anything more
thoroughly socialistic?

"Capital is timid,' says the

"Capital is timid,' says the
quack economists of the
Flower stripe. That's a fact;
but why? Because experience,
with a voice of thunder, de-
clares that the man who in
vests on a contracting volume
of money is an easier mark
than Uncle Josh from the
country with the billy goat
beard who braces the three-card
monte trick or the gold brick
swindle. At such times men
invest to certain loss. What
man would put his money into
wheat when he knows that it
is doomed to sure and perma-
>nent decline? And with gold
approaching in value, as it is,
all property, real and personal,
is destined to decline. until
well, until we bust the combi-
nation?

There are many trades in this
city in which from % to 80 per
cent of the workingmen are
unemployed, and in some the
percentage is said to run as
high as 80 and 80; but we have
nothing to equal the horrible
condition of affairs revealed by
an editorial in the morning
paper, existent in a certain very
important American industry:
There are sixty-ive members
of this years graduating class
at Uncle Sans College Of Scien-
tifc Murder by Wholesale at
West Point, and although these
young men have been educated
with great technical care, amid
luxurious surroundings, and at
public expense, and are now
entitled to easy jobs at fat sal
aries, there is not in sight a
single vacant commission. Six
ty-fve workmen and not a
single job! Why, that's awful;
even worse than the printing
industry in Duluth!

Our republican, friends have
made much of the increase in
the production of gold in this
country, leaving us to infer
that the scarcity of money will
eventually be overcome
thereby. Director of the Mint
Preston's figures have just
been made public. The total
production for 1896 was $685.
100000, which, after allowing
for what is used in the arts,
will not replace what is lost
and worn out; to say nothing
of what leaves the country in
the natural order of business
never to return. And the in
crease for 1896 over 1895 is
$6,520,000, or the magnificent
amount of 10 cents per capita.
Considering the increase of
population, how long, at this
rate, will it take the present
supply of gold to add ST per
capita to our monetary circula-
ton?

Duluth typographical union
has adopted the percentage
system of collecting dues. By
this method the burden of sus-
tanning the unions finances is
largely shifted from the
shoulders of those who are out
of employment to those who
are reapi11g the benefits result
ing from organization. When
hard times come and situations
decrease in number, some men
must be sacrificed to maintain
fair conditions of employment
and wage scales; or, in the
scramble for the chances to
work, the benefits of past or
garization will come to
naught. It is but simple JUS
tice, then, that those who are
deprived of employment should
be relieved as much as posi-
, lie of the burden of maintain
ing the organization. Such
considerations of mutual inter-
est, while of frequent occur
renee among personal friends,
nowhere outside of labor or
ranizations are permitted to
affect business relations. But

In an age when a corrupt ju-
dietary is a part of the working
machinery of the organized
plunderers of the people, it goes
without saying that there will
be any number of folks who
don't like the jury system. The
system is not the best that
could be desired. In the first
place, it has been modified in
the interest of a profession that
too often is the handmade of
injustice rather than of justice;
and in the second, juries can
average up no better than the
people whom they represent.
But with all it's defects the sys-
tenn is so infinitely superior to
any other that has ever been
proposed that the question,
"What would you give us in it's
placer" rarely calls forth even
a pretence at an answer. The
perfection of the system is an
object worthy of the highest
commentator, but spot the
man that seeks to discredit it.
He is an enemy of liberty.

Governor Tanner has signed
the bill which extends the Chi
cago street railway franchise for
50years. The measure continues
5 cent fares, permits consolida-
ton of companies and makes no
provision for compensation to
municipalities. We will guaran-
tee that it will not be extended
again. This is the price poor
old experimentation Illinois
pays for it's misrepresentation of

The Brutal Truth.

Wages must go down. says
Senator Elkins in a recent inter
view published in the Cincinn-
att Enquirer. "Wage earners do
not wish to see it or believe it,
but it is So" And again he
said, "Wages in America stand
against any revival Of business. :
He was discussing the coal
trade. He said, eve do not ex-
port coal to Europe because we
have wages against us, and
that is the whole kernel of the
the coal trade.''
Being asked whether black la
Dor was settled in the mines of
Virginia, ne said:
Firmly. It is as effective as
white labor and does not COM
bine and conspire, and the negro
spends all he makes, while the
Italians and Poles send every
cent out of the country"
The senator has just as de-
cided ideas on the tariff question.
He is convinced that protective
duties, especially on coal, should
go up. Tariff up, wages down.
That is what happened under
the Mckinley bill and is what
will happen and in fact is hap
pening under the Ding1ey bill.
It is all done in the interest of
labor.-Ex.
There you have the whole
philosophy of the Republican
party in two stickfuls. The
gold standard has reduced
wages in Europe, Asia, Africa
and Australia. They must be
reduced in America or we cam
not do business. White men
won't submit patiently to thu
lowering of their standard OF
living; all right, call out the

groes, the Cinnamon and the
industrial serfs Of undevelopet

Organized labor, it seems,
doesn't furnish the only exam
pie of strikes. Secretary Truel-
sen of the fire board has thrown
up his job because of dissatis-
faction with the conditions of
his employment. He has gone
organized labor one better,
moreover, and introduced a new
principle into such disputes,
and one that, if followed by
labor, would produce a terrible
sensation, and, if persisted in,
bloodshed without limit. He
insists not only that his wages
shall be restored to the old fig
ures, but proposes to retain
possession of the city property
in his charge until the city has
settled with him on the basis
of the terms in force before the
recent reduction of his compen-
sation by the council. What a
howl would go up if the city
fremen should 60 on strike
some fine morning and insist
on retaining possession of the
city fire apparatus until their
grievances had been adjusted?
Oh, Henry, my boy, what an
example you are setting!

The plute press is again ad-
vocating an increase in the
standing army. A proposition
to furnish $4,000 situations
where men will be supported
in easy circumstances at public
expense, while it may not ex-
actly suit the fellows that in
the end have to pay the bill, is
certainly, as far as it goes, an
easy way of fulfilling campaign
pledges to restore prosperity.
But as every other promise of
this nature has been violated,
and the waiting unemployed
are several hundred times 25,-
600, even from their own point
of view their remedy is ridicu-
lousy inadequate. The morn
ing paper, though, doesn't ex-
plot the real reason for this
proposition. The robber plutes
fear retribution. Their agents
would have the enlistment of
the new recruits, and an in
creased standing army is anxi-
ously desired as the best
method of prolonging their
vampire-like grip upon all pro-
ductive energy,

A Ouack Financier.

Governor Flower is quoted in
an interview published in the
morning paper, as saying,
while in the city recently, "You
cannot cruelty capital unless
labor perishes on the same
cross" This declaration is
supposed to contain a profound
aimonition to labor against
crying out against the estab-
lished order. But we can't see
it. If there has been anybody
engaged in the crucifixion bus
mess in this matter it has been
capital itself. Who dictates
the financial policy of this gov
eminent? What power has alb
so1ute control over all industrial
operations? Manifestly it is the
monetary combinations. Nc
Kinley's administration, and
Clevcland's before him, 10 DOM
mated from top to toe by cap
ital; the supreme court has be-
come a bulwark of established
business interests, against
which the flood tides Of all OPP
position has beat as impo-
tentty as a rivu1et against a
rocky cliff. There can be no
crucifxion without an execu-
toner, and labor certainly has
not offciated in that capacity.
The fact is, and nobody ought
to know it any better than Gov.
ernor Flower, that the supreme
interest in this country is nei-
Their labor nor Legitimate bust
ness. It is speculation gold
gambling, if you please, and
the fellows who are RESPONSE
BILE for the mailing of industrial
and commercial interests to
the cross are the men who cast
their votes for the gold stand
ard, whether as represented
by the candidates of the repub-
lican party or the gold democ-
racy. We will admit the cor
rectness of the governors aph-
orism; but it's proper applica-
cation absolves labor in so faras
the workingmen have opposed
the gold standard, and shows
that we are the unwilling and
helpless victims of coterie Of
quack economists, ignorant OF
vicious beyond a parallel. Tie
financiers set the trap, the bus
mess interests, with their
votes and influence, sprung the
trigger. And to 60 back to the
governors metaphor, both
alike are now, along with labor,
suspended between heaven and.
earth. But labor is highly hon
ored. Like the greatest apos-
tie of humanity, it has been
crucifed between two thieves.
