AN UNDELIVERED SPEECH

Fellow-C itizens-We are on the
eve of a crisis ia the affairs Of this
imperial commonwealth Of Missouri.

demagogues. II they vote for US
they are the one, ifthey vote against

no doubt Of the result. The en-
lightened statesmen who lead our
parry have given as in the Nesbit
law an instrument which protects
the masses against their DIVE stupid
ity, and insures that, however they
vote, our candidates will get the
offices. Tha, is II you do not arise

UNFAIR CONTRACT

by which workmen and work
women are deprived OF free

called contract which they are re-

tiee it appears that just before the
expiration Of the year the employ
ers who indulge in this form Of re-
straint are accustomed to bring
around a similar contract for the

ployee refuses to sign it, he loses
his 10 per cent as well as his place.
No matter how dissatisfied he may
be, he is pretty certain TO sign un.

practical effect Of the system is
that the men cease to be free

"They find themselves under the
subjugation Of their employers in
