REASON FOR LARGE ARMY,


There are two reasons which lead men in this
domestic one the other is connected with our for
eign affairs. What domestic reason is there for
large army? To protect from the Indians? NO,
the less Indians we have the more army the Ke-
publican party wants. That is not the cause why
do they want it? So that they build fort
near every large city and the army 10 suppress
bV force the discomfort that ought to be cureo
by remedial legislation
The laboring asks for arbitration and gets
large army he asks relief from government by IN
iurction and gets large army; he asks protectlon
from the black list and his answer is large army
he asks for shorter hours of labor in order that ne
may have time with his family and for the
development of his mind and his answer is a. laIEe
army. He asks for representation in the President
Cabinet in order that labor may be protected. ana
his answer is a large army. That is the domesuc
reason which is not given. and yet 1t is reason r
entertained by many. What is the reason they
give? They say we need II for foreign policy,
but my friends. they asked for the army oetoIe
the American people had decided upon a toI-
eign policy that made a large army necessary .or

which will probably result in a COM

has Just been discovered that instead
of the treasury containing between
$500 and $500 there is now on hand
but $45. 1t is charged that the OFF,
cers and committee of the federation
have gone on a number OF junketing
tours TO Indianapolis; that at each
meeting these persons have charged
up every penny of their personal ex-
penses until there is little left in the
treasury for the current disburse-
ments. The Wabash federation Will
take an active part in effecting re-
forms.
