puted that $75.0OO,O0O of this amount

We may SymIathiZe with Ireland in
its Affections, but we must not forget
that we are rapidly drifting into the

not already reached them. 1t is
claimed by some authorities that our

United States to Europe. will not

a worse condition than that repre-.

Our country has been sold out and
betrayed to the Shylocks and Roths-
childs of Europe. If our farmers dc
not sink, in Il few years, to the coDdi-
ton OF the Egyptian peasants, the
Russian serfs, or the Hindoo ryots, it
will simply be because there has
grown up in this country a political
party. around which they can really

themselves. That organiza tion, it is
needless to say, is the Peoples Party

the best thoughts Of the best men OF

triot to enter its ranks and push it to
the highest possible success. There
is no other party in the world today

not one of these institutions would

amined, a director and officer owed
the bank over 100000 directly, and a

AN UNFAIR DIVIDE.

In 1896, 5000 mine orners Of Eng
land had an income OF $4,000, coo, or
an average of SIS, 30 each. The 3OO,-
Coz miners employed by tn, Sc lords Of
capital earned $4,000. 90, or an aver
age of $3.50 eacn. And that is the
Way the opponents Of Socialism d.
vide the products Of labor. 1T is per-
fectly just with them and will be so
long as the workers don't think and
act for themselves. The Coming Ma
ton.
This is an illustration Of the way
the wealth Of the world is divided.
1t is not right-it is not fair.
All wealth is created by labor and
can be created by nothing else. But
here we see that labor gets $3.50, while
capital gets $28,3.6.
These things will have to be better
adjusted, by the good sense and love
of fair play Of those above; or it will
be by earthquakes below from that

1HE PEOPLE S PARTY CLUB

The Peoples Party Club of Henne-

doing good work. We quote the fol.
lowing from the Minneapolis Tribune
of April 9th:
A meeting Of the Hennepin County

tions Of the committees, SO new mem
bers were admitted to the club. A
committee was appointed to arrange
for puolic meeting to be held in one

future. The chairman named as the

We hope to see the organization ex-
pand, not only over all parts of Mime
apolis, but throughout the state. The
officers are good and true men, and
are full of energy and zeal. 1t is like
the voice of one crying in the wilder
ness" for the conditions are so grave
and serious throughout the state that
men seem to be chilled into apathy.
They are doing an immense amount
OF thinking, but action is hampered
by the fact that pennies are now as big
as dollars were few years ago.

DREADFUL SHRINh1GE IN

following item:
The Washington Post OF the 18th

whispers from Chicago that conspir-

the unemployed to precipitate an

GOOD TIMES.

The American people are in some
respects as keen ard Shire d as any
population in the world; their precep-

capacity to forecast events is great.
When not deceived by the supersti-

We are in singular position in this
country today. Congress is in session
at Washington and the eyes Of the
whole nation are fastened upon it.
They have promised the people pros
perity, and they are trying to bring it
about by an increase of tariff. The
Republicans have a large majority in
the House and practical control Of
the Senate, because some Of the Sena-

thing but the free silver question are
ready TO vote with the m for any tariff
legislation the party may desire;
while the Populist and Democrats
have held caucuses and decided that
they Will not oppose in factious

circumstances it has been regarded,
for months past, that the tariff bill
would pass. and that considera BILE

Under these circumstances if the
keen business men OF the United
States had any belief whatever that
prosperity would follow in the track
of increased duties, they would have
discounted the effect of it, and the
prosperity that was promised would
have arrived at once; but nothing Of
