The only true friends of the
poor people are those public
benefactors and saviors, Cleve
land, Carlisle, Sherman, Han
ma, Mckinley, J. P. Morgan
Pullman, Carnegie, Astor, Van
derbilt, Russell Sage, Steve El
kins, Collins P. Huntington
the sheriff of Luzerne county
Penn, and others of their DO,
litical and religious faith. Any
one who denies this is a traitor
an anarchist and an enemy OF
mankind and should be hung,
drawn and quartered. 1t is
these men and their parties
who have brought all these
blessings to the people they
have ever enjoyed or ever will
enjoy. These are the true
friends of labor and labor
should not believe anybody
else. If it were not for these
people giving the people work
the people would sit down and
starve!
Charles Booth has made an
analysis of London population
and finds 1,292,00O, or 80 per
cent, living in poverty.
There among the gloomy alleys progress halts
on palsied feet;
Crime and hunger cast our maidens by the thou
sand on the street.
There the master scrimps his haggard seamstress
OF her daily bread,
There single, sordid attic, holds the living and
the dead.
There the smouldering fire of fever creeps across
the rotted floor,
And the crowded couch of incest in the warrens
OF the poor.
Talk about Dante's hell, the
man who walks through the
shambles of civilization needs
no fastastic pictures of the
poet to teach him terror.

Our Bridge of Signs.

Before the advent of the newspaper
the preacher was used as an advertising
machine, and great fun was often Gre
ated by the way in which puffs of salt
mackerel, un-powder whetstones, etc
we're sandwiched into the sermon. Re.
Gently a Duluth "divine" revived mem.
cries of the good old times by making a
displayed lad" of his Sabbath evening
"talk." Some of his flash lines" are cal
culated to give him the notoriety which
so many latter-day pulpit orators seem
to wildly struggle after.
The preacher spoke encouragingly of
Duluth's finances without giving to the
mayor the credit, which his honor is
justly entitled to.
Duluth" said he, "is not a model
city, by any MEANS" We are forced
to differ from the reverend gentleman
on this point. We think Duluth a
model of good order, because of the
efficiency of it's officers" (safe- blowing,
prize-fghting, gambling and other
crimes are almost unknown here); and
because of it's educational system. He
speaks of our "wonderful growth" which
is undoubtedly accounted for by the
fact that this is model city in many
respects. :
The speaker said: "The man who lives
in city and gets his livelihood there
should not be guilty of speaking ill of
it." i
That depends on circumstances. A
city may be so bad that a Lot may be
needed to walk the streets and fulmin-
ate against the abuses of the time.
Take the case of the men who were
making living at Pullman Ia very poor
living), should they not cry out that hui
manity might hear the iliad of their
wrongs and demand the relief for them
which they had besought in vain? "a
When the keen critic came to scrutin-.
ize the street railway monopoly his
eagle-eye could detect no flaw. He said
that it is admirably managed. - u
He neglected to say that it is an easy
matter to manage road which is as
literally patronized by the working
people as is the street railway of Du-
luth. "The rich man rides in chaises"-
and on bicycles; the laboring men keep
up the street car corporation with their
hard earned nickels.
To the mon back of the street railway
system he gives credit for the big bridge
which has been built during the hard
times, but says nothing of the toll which
is extorted from travellers in vehicles
and foot passengers alike. No amount
of pulpit taffy can gild the disgraceful
truth that the promoters of this bridge
defeated the plan for free bridge; that
they worked not from motives of phil
anthropy, but for the object of wringing
from the horny-handed sons of toll
part of their meager earnings, to crafty
corporate greed, for the poor are the
chief users of this great bridge. It is a
burning shame, which no free-born citi-
zen should hesitate openly to denounce,
that the city of Duluth paid thousands
of dollars to help through bridge
scheme which takes money from the
poor to enrich the rich.

WAYLAND'S IDEAS
Justice Covers All the Demands
of Socialism, Wipes Out
All Wrongs.
The Harvest of Suicides Pro-
ceeds While ''Prosperity"
Rolls Over the Country.

Twenty thousand school chill
dren in New York, for whom
that rich city provides no room,
shows how money is more po-
tent than the desire tor an in
telligent citizenship. They are
doubtless going on the theory
of Bishop Worthington that
too much education is the
trouble with the country.
When school let out on the
first day there we're thousands
of these children of the poor at
the school doors and they
begged of those fortunate
enough to get in to repeat to
them the lessons of the day!
A republic that will turn out
it's poor children to grow up
ignorant will one day pay the
penalty for such inhuman
greed in sack cloth and ashes.
Mark my prediction.
AS the harvest of suicides
proceeds there can be no doubt
about the wave of prosperity
that rolls over the country.
Justice covers all the de-
nands of socialism, wipes out
all wrongs and expressions,
and is the only weapon with
the Almighty 1ashes
the tyrant and the oppressors
of men.
The time is coming if not
here when there will
be no more masters of trades.
No one would be foolish
enough to learn the shoe-mak-
ing trade today for the factory
has usurped that field. Any
unskilled worker can go into a
shoe factory and learn to at
tend one of the numerous ma
chimes in a few days and help
to put out shoes, yet he would
not be able to make a pair of
shoes. Clothing is being made
in the same way. All food
products are fast falling under
the same conditions. Machines
for the productions of these
things are made in the same
way. Doctors and pharmacists
and lawyers will be thicker
than the people who can use
them, and these will not be
more independent than the
machine tenders. What are
you going to do with your sons
and daughters? What trade
or profession can you give
them that will insure them a
living? Learn the printing
business? Why, the machines
can set type at ten cents
a thousand and seven is
a good days work for
a printer mot a machine
operator). And a new machine
is promised that will set type
at the rate of one cent a thous-
and. Everything in the busi-
ness is the same way and
thousands of good workmen
are now idle and tranping in
search of work. 1t is the same
in all lines. Great farms will
produce products cheaper than
a little farmer can hope to, and
the little fellow will be frozen
out of business as was the
shoemaker and the printer.
Turn which way you will and
you will meet just this condi-
ton. If you can find a ray of
hope in the future for the
masses of the oncoming gener-
alton you can see more than I
can. You are an optimist in
deed. but without reason.

Other Changes Which the Republican
Members of the Committee on Ways
and Means Have Found il Ad-
visable to Make

WASHINGTON. March 25.-Prcsident
Dwight of Yale college and the sew
eral members of the faculty have united
in protest against the action of the
ways and means committee in placing
books and scientific apparatus for edu-
cational institutions on the dutiable
list, after having been free for many
years. Strong protests were also
made from other educational CEN
tiers, and at a meeting of
the republican members of the
committee the paragraph relating
to these articles was changed SO as to
permit books and scientific apparatus
charts and chemicals. such as are not
published or made in the United States,
expressly imported in good faith bv
and for the use of any regularly-es-
tablished, incorporated university,
college, academy. school, seminary of

The paragraph relating to artistic
paintings, statuary, sculpture, etch-
ings, drawings, engravings, photo
graphs, artistic works in terra Gotta
and other materials which are i'm
ported for free exhibitions and as such
permitted to enter free of duty, has
been changed SO as to provide that
they shall be on free exhibition one
sixth of the time they remain in this
country in any fixed place by any
association established in good faith
and duly authorized under the laws of
the United Ssates or of any state ex-
pressly and solely for the promotion
and encouragement of science, art or
industry and not intended for exhibit
ton. The paragraph further provides
that these privileges shall not be al
lowed to associations, corporations,
firms or individuals engaged in or con-
nected with business of private or
commercial character.
In compliance with the protests of
the fruit importers the paragraph re-
lating to pineapples, which were made
dutiable at two cents pound. has been
changed so as to permit pineapples in
barrels or other packages to be made
dutible at six cents per cubic foot.
When imported in bulk the duty will
be six cents thousand. Chlorate of
soda was added to schedule A and made
dutiable at three cents pounds.
