are ike pigs, you try 10 ouTtVc Cnein
and they are very apt to go the
other way, as the following expert.
ences will show:
A prominent Stock Yards pack
er in line with The policy adopted
with big corporations, on certain
day closed his works and assembl-
ed his men to listen to Instructions
In reference TO the money question
from the gold standpoint, OF course.
The speaker had no sooner got fair
ly launched ir his argument when
big Irish pig sticker asked him
question, which it seems the So
called educator could not answer.
Again no started his argument
when another question was asked
which he could not answer. Final
ly he tried again, when third
question was asked which he wa,
unable to answer. Then the pig
sticker in his rich Irish brogue told
him to "get out of that" as they
knew more about the money ques-
tion than he did, and he was hooted
off the platform. Tie crowd then
called the pig sticker to take his
place, and; workingman though lie
was, he showed II much more intel
ligent conception of the money
question than the so-called educat-
or. He gave them a straight out
silver talk which was cheered to
the echo. This ii a case, so far a.
the great packer was concerned, Of
goodihtentions (?) misplaced. t-
Another Stock Yards incident.
A prominent silver advocate was
called out of bed early one morn
ing to go to,the Stock Yards where
he found 400 of the employees OF
one great packer in secrctmeeting.
The question they asked his advice
on was whether they snould con.
tinuS to wear Mckinley buttons
which the BOSSES had pinned onto
their Coats; or tear them eff and
substitute, Bryan buttons;. and ii
any one was discharged in conse-
qucnce, to strike. The men were
exceedingly angry and had tho
advisor not been a conservative
man with u cool head, a great
strike and a riot, which would have
shaken the city and country to it,
foundations, would IN all probab;l
ity have been the result. IL. .ad
vised them, however, to continue
quietly about their business, wear.
ing the buttons II they h9d to, and
thus provide food for their families
in these, hard tjmes,and, @, elrclion
day quietly cast iibeir votes for
Bryan. This adyiee was accepted
Our informant says that such. was
the sullen anger Of the men that
they easily could hayc been influ-
enccI TO take a rope and hang the
packer, who compelled them to
wear, these badges, H.,
