Shirts and bread are wanted. What
comfort is it to the worn-out laborers
to know they can buy cheap because
other laborers have been overworked
and underpaid by their rich masters
that own the trusts?
A political plan without principles-a
railway without a destination-is the
curse Of politics. 1t will be the curse
OF the hireing office-seekers like Ring
dahl, Bowler, Hotchkiss, Cation, men
who put their contemplate little per-
sonal interests before the most import
ant and urgent question in the whole
world. THAT QUESTION is THE
RIGHT OF THE LABORER TO THE
FRUITS OF HIS LABOR.
