up to be, evidently. It seems that the
Republican party has wrapped itself
up in the conviction that all alabpring
man wants-like hog--is fulldinner
pail. 2O0,0 900 men with 200, 900 full din
ner pals in their hands. ON strike for
something more than. a. fpll dinner
pail ought to be sufficient to convince
the party of intelligence and great
moral ideas that the laboring man is
not hog by, nature, and that he has
ambitions of lettering his condition,
educating his children, having little
parlor in his house, and enjoying a
little music and singing by his wife
and children, and also sufficient cloth
ing, wood and coal to enable him to
take off his brogans and enjoy reading
newspaper for an hour before retir-
ing. If the laboring man really yearns
to enjoy ordinary comforts of life,
which have become necessaries of life
under our modern civilization, the Re-
publican party grossly insults him
when it brags over the fact that he has
a. full dinner pail in his hands. But
what sight: multi-millionaires walk
ing through the rosy paths of life COM
forting the men who earn the money
with full dinner pail.
Twenty-Five hundred children, rang
ing in years from 8 to II, on strike
with 100000 men in Pennsylvania,
marched through Hazelton, and en-
phasized their dissatisfaction over their
full dinner. pail These children work
in the coal mines IL or IL hours day,
and they manage to cram piece of
pork and some coarse bread in their
full dinner'pail The. mines in which
they work are owned by corporation
which also: owns the railroads which
transport their product to the markets
of the world, and by this means the
corporation practically controls the
price of coaLI The. heaviest stock
holders of the corporation reside in
England, Germany and Russia. These
facts are well-known. 1t is therefore
no wonder that the Republican Ad-
ministration and Mark Hanna are
straining every nerve to adjust the diff
ferences existing between the corpora
ton and it's men and children en-
corresponding the election. I said
in my last letter TO the COURIER that
the Administration would not send
General Merriam with regulars to
Pennsylvania to restore law and order,
and staked my reputation on the proph-
ecy. 1t appears that Mark Hanna is
rendering his best offices instead
pending the lection. But wait until
after election, and then the Govern
ment will restore order, and law It
appears that in Italy workmen wait
until harvest time to go ON strike,. but
in America they have learned that the
best time to strike is pending Presi-

publican party will kick the stuffing out
of the full dinner pail-after election.
According to Acting Consul General
Hanauer, at Frankfort, Germany,
Europe has enjoyed five years of pros
perity, but the tide is just beginning
to turn. l don't know whether any
political qnacks claim the credit for the
prosperity Europe has enjoyed. But
our American Consul says it has been
caused in large part by the progress
that has been made during those years
in Harvesting electrical power to the
chariot of progress. In Germany alone
the invested capital in such works
amounts to over S3OO,0O0000. He
further states that prosperity in Europe
In later years has been caused by the
demands of war. There is no doubt
but prosperity in the United States
has resulted from similar causes, and
also by the exhaustion ofmanufactured
stock just before Mckinley took his
seat, forcing the manufacturers to go
to work to supply their markets. But
the tide is turning in Europe and must
tarn in the United States. The demand
for iron, steel, coal and war material is
still good, but factories making small
iron ware, nails, needles, bicycles,
sewing machines, etc., are curtailing
production, and reducing working
forces and wage scales, and failures
have already begun in the building
trades. Acting Consul General Han
auer will probably be requested to hold
his mouth-pending the election.
