senbly does not seem to think
that the aldermen are keeping
their anti-election promises,
and as consequence they are
to be politically boycotted.
Some time ago a resolution
asking for the eight-hour work
day, a raise from $1.5O to $1.75
per day and the adoption of the
union label was before the
council. The raise in wages
was granted, but the eight-hour

was turned down. Committee

Burwell was appointed to draft
resolutions and serve them on.
the aldermen voting against
the above resolution. a5=
Some pretty warm speeches
were made on the matter. In
fact politics and politicians re-
ceived a pretty good stirring
up. If such a talk had oc-
CURED on the floor of the As
senbly a year ago it would
have been ruled out in short
order. This goes to show the
rapid strides organized labor
is making. Some were inclined
to be conservative, which is,
perhaps, the better way, and
thought if the Assembly would
ask for one thing at a time it
would be wiser, while others
did not believe in asking for
anything-but demanding it.
1t was the universal opinion,
however, that the aldermen had
broken their election promises
and it was decided to politically
boycott them unless they sup
ported the eight-hour day
plank on which they were
elected. AS President McEwen |
said, the aldermen that had |
been elected on the platforms

scorn for having ignored the
planks referred to. ><

Some Promised Prosperity
Very Tardy In its '.- :
Arrival.

.sThe Minnesota Iron com
pany has announced it's inten-
ton to increase the wages OF
it's employees Oct. 1 to 81 a day
This is an unasked for advance
of 25 cents a day. The condi-
tions of common labor in Du-
luth and vicinity were never
better than at present. Men
are getting So in many depart
ments of work that paid from
$1.25 to $3.50 a day one and two
years ago." -
TIE above item appeared in
the labor department of the
News Tribune, and is refresh h.
ing to say the least. "The Min
nesota Iron company has an
nounced it's intention to in
crease the wages of it's en-
ployes Oct. to So a day. 1t
is just one month from Oct. l
to election day. After that
event and the votes are count
ed this philanthropic corpora
ton will not announce it's in
tention," but will forthwith cut
the wages again. The Labor
World does not believe in
calamity howling,' nor does
it indulge in that useless pass
time, but when such vile
practices are INDUCED in by
soulless corporations, and the
motive is 50 visible, it feels
called upon to raise its voice in
condemnation.
What reason can be given
for this proposed raise other
than to make a pretense that
prosperity has returned under
the gold standard. There is no
more reason now for a raise
than there has been during
the past twenty months. The
price of ore has not increased,
freights are no lower, and
prospects for the future are no
brighter. But we are borrow
ing trouble. The advance has

at 6 harding against it. Paper
money issued by the govern
nent is the surest aid that
Socialism can have"
tBehold! Verify, I say unto
you, the individual should be
everything, and there are no
individuals except bankers.
This is the first and great
commandment. This is both
religion and political economy.
The government should own
nothing except the few things
that all are interested in"
Agreed. That is the whole
claim of Socialists. We do not
wish the government to own
what should be private prop
erty.
But are we not all interested
in money? Are we not all in
terested in land? Are we not
all interested in railways and
telegraphs?
Are we not all interested in
coal, and wheat, and cotton,
and timber, and all the means
Of producing the necessities of
life? In short, are we not all
interested in civilization?
Answer that, William Royal,
of Richmond. :
You say our forefathers aimed
to guard against Socialism.
Just wait till you reach the
spirit world, and they will have
you arrested for defamation of
character.
Did the men who wrote the
preamble to our constitution
and the declaration Of indepen-
dence aim to guard against the
industrial equality of all our
citizens?
Did they imagine Columbus
discovered America for J. Pier
pont Morgan?
Did they aim to legislate for
42. 900 bankers, or for the whole
nation Of 10000, GOO? 4. .s.s:.s
One Of those forefathers,
named Patrick Henry, said in
1891:
would our armies have been
raised, clothed, maintained, or
kept together without paper
money? Without it, the war
would have stood still, resist
ance to tyranny would have
stopped, and despotism with
all its horrid train of appurten-
ances, must have depressed
our country" !
But possibly, Mr.. Royal, you
60 a little further back to find
your forefathers. You have
been for years the agent of a |
British syndicate of bondhold-
ers, 50 perhaps you have in
mind Lord CORVALLIS and King
George. .......
Indeed, perhaps. sir, to find
forefathers worthy of you, you
had better go back to pre-h1s-
toric times, and make inquiry
of the cave-dwe1lers, in the good
old days when there was no
wicked Socialism in the world.

BANKERS DID 1T!
Patriotic Spirit Of the Bankers
Was the Saving of the
Country.
They Gave UngrudgingIy OF
Their Cold for the Promises
of the Nation.

And now the bankers have
discovered that it was they
who whipped the spaniards,
and not Dewey and Sampson.
AT their annual convention
held recently at Denver they
declaimed on "The Patriotic
Spirit of Bankers"
J. D. Power, president Of the
First National Bank of Owens
boro, KY, opened his mouth,
and spake unto them, saying:
"When grim visaged war un-
rolled his wrinkled and horrid
front within our happy and
prosperous land, and threat
ened with destruction that for
which so much blood and
treasure had been expended,
the needs of the government
were promptly met by the
bankers of America in a spirit
Of lofty patriotism, and they
gave ungrudgingly of their
gold for the promises of the ma
ton, and continued so to do,
until, in the evil hour of expe-
diency, the then secretary Of
the treasury foisted upon the
country an emergency money
which closed the door to the
vaults Of gold and ;naugurated
a desperate game Of speculation
the evil fruits Of which have
not ceased unto this day.
But the patriotic spirit Of
American bankers has not
alone exhibited itself in times
of national peril and distress,
as the result of war, but has
shown it's character and
strength as well in the days of
peace, as was shown by the.
purchase of the bonds issued
during President Cleve1and's
administration, when the exec
utive and the secretary of the
treasury were compelled to pro-
tect the country and it's credit" !"
I Q, says the Coming Nation,
that Andrew Jackson could
have risen from the grave,
strode into that convention,
and declared once more:
"By the Eternal! We shall
see who shall rule in this coun-
try the bankers or the peop1e"
81 Since 1868 the $4,000 bankers
have cleared $3,258, 100000. Is
this sacrificing their treasure
and their b1ood?"
Is this the spirit of lofty pa
triotism? H..
Every cent of these billions
came from The laboring, invent
ing, producing workers of
America. >- ;.
The grandiloquence of these
T per cent patriots reminds me
IF a story of a man whose father
was hanged.
Whenever he was asked the
cause of his fathers death, he
would naajestically reply:
"My poor father was standing
upon an elevated platform, adj
1ressing a large and deeply in
;erested crowd, when some
hing beneath his feet gave
way and he was precipitated
7iolentlyto the ground, thereby
his neck"
At this same convention of |
yoldbugs Vim. Royal, a Rich
nond, Va, banker, spake as
ollows:
"Our forefathers intended
hat the individual should be
everything, the government
except for the few
hings that all are interested in.
They had never heard the word
Socialism, but they knew the

LONGEST WALK ON LAND.
II is From the Red Sea to Behring
Straits.

Several long journeys are possible
without crossing the sea, but it
would be necessary to cross rivers,
canals, or, perhaps, an inland sea or
lake. For instance, from Cape
Verde, on the northwest coast
of Africa, to the northeastern sea-
board of Asia, opposite Japan, is a
distance of $500 miles. In taking
this journey one would not have to
cross the open sea, but would be
obliged to get over the Suez canal
and the Caspian sea, which is an in
land lake. -,
Another similar journey would be
from Cape ST. Vincent, in Portugal,
to the extreme easterly point TO
Siberia-the distance in this case IS
1900 miles. The pedestrian would
pass through Spain, Prussia, North
Austria, and thence through Eu-
ropean and Asiatic Russia. The
longest walk one could take in a
straight line on solid land would be
from the eastern side of the Red
Sea, not far from Mecca, to the
Behring Straits, promenade OF
about 5000 miles. In the western
hemisphere, the walk would not ex-
coed $500 miles, owing tothe IT.
