The CLEVELAND Strike.

The men who are using dynamite IN
Cleveland are not merely the foes OF So
ciety in general. In a special way thes
are the foes Of the working class. Inc
acts which they are guilty Of are raising
up enemies by the thousand to the cause
Of organized labor. They are turning INTO
enersies thousands of citizens, whose
natural inclination is to sympathize with
working men and to wish redress for their
wrongs.
No good cause can prosper through
wrong-dofng. The shedding of innocent
blood never brought good fortune or sue
cess to anyone. hi destruction Of an
others property never put o in the
pocket Of any man or set of men There
IS absolutely nothing to be gained by
labor from the appeal to violence; on the
contrary. il arouses all the strength OF
the state to oppose and suppress it.
Assuredly, II cannot conquer anyone,s
affectlon or sympathy. On the contrary,
it excites hatred n wrath. It cannot in
crease the capacity of the employers to
pay higher wages. for the loss, which it
infiicts, impoverishes the treasury which
is the source of the wage fund.
When will -workingmen learn senseY
when will they learn to conduct their
struggles within the lines Of reason and
common sense? When will they cease to
be more their own enemies than the very
worst Of the employers of whom they
