The Wage Worker. AprH 30, uH.
For indication No. / we have only
this to say 1t is simply n corkad-up
phrase of Billy Bryans. 1t means
nothing and everybody knows it's all
gush. Any one can carry shotgun
in this country and il won't cost II
cent, unless they get to shooting at
some one
As for indication No :, il may be all
right for the Wage Worker : il may
get its price for securing the repeal OF
so-called bribe-oilering ordinances,
and the landlords may he relieved
from paying the difference in the Ex-
else Commissioners salaries when H.
censes are low but have care, gen.
tlemen, you may fool with this liqnol
question until you kill the goose
that laid the golden egg. The day is
not so far distant when new Excise
Board will be chosen and there will
still be Republican Judge and Re
publican Prosecutor in this county,
and we don't think it will be near so
healthy to sell liquor without license,
under these conditions. as it has been
in days of yore
Indication No. 3 is commendablo
and We hope it may be brought about.
"The laborer is worthy Of his hire, "
but if he is compelled to give up part
of his wages to the Democratic "Pooh
Bahs " for the privilege of working
as Democrats are charging that all city
officers appointed have to give up n
part of their salaries then would the
laborer he better OFF with his 81 %
per day.
Indication No. 1 that is pleasure
taxpayers have never had under n
Democratic administration al any time
or place, and they never will have.
Indication No. 8 : We hope so, and
if it comes true, will give you credit
for it but Democratic promises in this
direction we have often heard, but have
never seen realized. We trust, how
ever, that the Wage IF0rher "speaks
by the book.
Indication No. We also hope may
prove true, and We will, at the proper
time, give credit where credit is due.
1t will, however, be novelty if we
are called upon to perform this duty.
The Wage Worker says to THE
RECORDS First Ward correspondent
Advocate raise in the wages of the
city employees and we will toot your
imaginary prosperity. For the bene-
fit Of our readers let us sec how this
imaginary prosperity" affects the
editor Of the Wage Worker. Every
one knows that the editor is a mo-
chanic and son Of toll For his toll
he is and has been receiving, under
this Mckinley, golden-rod admins
tration," an average OF at least $50
per month more than he received un-
der the late back-number Democratic
administration. This does not take
into consideration the profits shared
by the Wage Worker syndicate. We
presume, however, that these are small
"a calamity sheet when other people
are prosperous has very little business.
1t thriyes only on the misfortunes OF
others. We have no doubt, however,
but what the average mortal would be
very willing to partake of tho "imsgin.
AIRY prosperity with which the editor
of the Wage Worker has been and is
being blessed.
ave know that the Wage Worker will
tell its readers that the editor would
be receiving at least $40 per month
more for his labor If We only had the
"free and unlimited coinage of silver. y
He cannot, however, prove it, and we
therefore hope he will be honest
enough to admit that the gold stand
ard is not so bad when administered
by the G.. o. =.
Yours, &c,
