owned McVera with record of 2:10alj
which he sold to the firm of Hansen e
Co., is one of the largest of that kind
in that country. There are a number
of Austrian horsemen in the
United States today on the
lookout for fine stock. The best horses
in that country are American stock
crossed with the native Austrian
horse. John Tilden, of Red Oak, own
er of Ella L, with mark of 2:Os14, is
brother of Dick Iilden.
The horses which Miles Tilden now
has in training are: "a

2:27A, owned by A. B. Williams, Of
Ottumwa.
Josie Parker, full sister to Leora,
green trotter, owned by George Cloyd,

ported French Percheron stallion, and

sympathizers shall be able to dis
eliminate between the unfair products
of the penitentiary, the sweat shop,
the tenement house and the pest hole
land the product OF workers engaged
|dn the same movement and sharing
the same hopes and aspirations as
themselves.
The growth of the union label move
ment in recent years is evidenced by
the fact that so many of the national
trades unions have adopted union label
devices, adapted to their respective
trades, and this growth is accelerated
by support received from associations
of philanthropic persons who see in
the union label movement rational
attempt to better it's condition without
resorting to costly strikes.
What the Union Label Does.
1t condemns child labor and human.
ICES factory life.
1t minimizes convict competition
with free, honest labor.
1t wipes out the tenement and sweat
shop system Of production.
1t shortens the workday and gives
the toiler time to read and think and
cultivate the social side of life.
1t guarantees a living wage and
rational conditions of employment.
1t will some day free the white
slaves in our big factories, who toll
day and night and on Sundays, too.
1T warns us to shun the bargain
counter" which makes the cheap thing
dear when woven with the virtue,
sweat and blood of womankind.
1t stands for quality and honesty
OF workmanship.
1t is not weapon for industrial war,
but an olive branch held out to bind
the brotherhood of man.
A Triumph for voluntary Arbitration.

ganized labor to know the result of the
conference between officers Of the In

Experience has shown the organized
movement of labor that the working
masses, being the vast army of con-
sumers of all the products of labor,
can, by organizing their purchasing
power to promote the sale of the pro-
dust Of unions and of fair labor, and
to restrict the scale of the product
of unfair employees exert quite as eff
fectual an influence and control over
conditions of employment, as by en-
deavoring to control the supply OF la
Dor at the factory door.
The employer is in business for pro-
fit. and If his market is sufficiently re-
stricted, thru the demands of organized
workers for union label goods, he will
be compelled to give due recognition
to st demands of his employers.
The union label is a concrete ex-
preston OF the desire Of wage-work-
rs that other wage workers and all

The Fears Of the Plutocrats.

The p~lutocrats, to borrow a Woro
from the wealthy vocabulary OF u
Populist friends, must be oaesiy
s.skeered." They are dead against
BRYAN and are ardent imperlallsts'
Why the eagerness with which they
have trotted out all the staid old class
notifications ike the Manufacturers
Record, and started them on q howl
about free silver when every body
knows free silver, tho ''crushed TO
EARTH is as dead for all present pur-
poses as the Missouri COMPROMISE.
The Republicans and their powerful
allies the corporations, ptutocrats,
coupon clippers and ar%istocracy OF
protected wealth, are anxious to avoid
imperialism the paramount issue OF
this campaign, the burning question
of the hour, and are yainly trying to
raise a dust and attract attention by
| shouting for honest money. No body
ever saw any other kind OF money the
| Tinted States has coined and they
never will. We want to buy some OF
those fifty cent dollars. Imperialism
once firmly entrenched at Washington
by the election Of Mckinley, and the
republic will have ceased to exist save
in name.
The Meridional. (Abbeville, La.) 1856-1906, 1900-07-28

The Republican spell binders and
sound money shriekers are raising
thunder about 16 to /. Why bless
your soul 16 to ! is written in the
statutes relating to coinage and has
been there since 1884. Mckinley
himself and his republican clique are
all for 16 to for they favored the
coinage of all the silver bullion in the
treasury !; are now coming 1t into fifty
cent dollars, as these hypocrites call
them during the carnpaign-at the
rate Of / 800, 900 a month. During
McKinley's administration over co.
Oo0, 900 of these Is to l silver dol
lars have been coined and passed out
to circulate among the people. If Is
to / is dead wrong why don't the
Republicans get rid Of it?

The President has decided not to
call Congress in extra session, badly
as it is admitted to be needed. Natu-
rally. He prefers to carry things on
.imnerially, of his own motion, rather
than to trust the Representatives OF
the people, and he will do so as long
as he can keep up the pretense that
we are not at war with China.

Now comes the wise editor and
warns people against taking shelter
under trees during a thunderstorm
and thereby running the risk of being
struck by lightning. Yet, it's dollars
to doughnuts that the aforesaid wise
editor would go under a tree in a min
ute rather than spoil his new straw
hat. And on theory of probabilities
re would be entirely right in doing so.

thousand of them to 60 to China

General Miles wants to go to China
and it is possible that the administra-
ton will let him 60. You see, the
nominations have been made and the
Presidents ambition can no longer
be blocked even if the General should
make a great military reputation.

The people Of Kentucky are un-
questionably giving a fair trial to
Powers, accused Of completely in the
Goebel murder. The jury is almost
equally divided between the two poll

excuse for the ~fefusals OF Governors
Mount and Roosevelt to honor requi-
sitions for Mr.. Taylor.

The question isn't whether we
should send troops to China. 1t is
whether the President should again
usurp the authority Of Congress to
involve. the country in a foreign war.
