~ " WITCH WllisgToW a union Of
]. OF The people in behalf of the
principle OF equal rights and no
privileges. NJ Il will ha
ptentfactor in enforcing upon all
minds the knowledge that it is
dlgnltied to work, and that the
netter organized the laborers are,
The higher their pay, the more
advantageous for society.n
All recent polical events prove
that the great political force re-
siding In u combination of trust
and republicanism can be metsuc-
cesfully by a combination Of labor
and democracy.
Genuine democracy is the par 3
" OF labor and labor belongs ma
turally TO democracy. They must
work together. .
one fact that democrats who
lead, or aspire to lead, the party
must have firmly in mind.''
They cannot resolve 10 unite
With Tie great body of labor and
expect union to result therefrom. .
SIhey must deserve the Union,
The result OF every serious
democrat should to d union OF or
ganized labor with the democratic
party. The effort OF every DEM
ocrat IN Office should to merit
that union. y
10 the extent trades unions
raise wages they tell for true re-
liglon and the kind of civilization
that is worth having-the kind
that leads the many to lead de-
cent, comfortable, self-respecting
lives and gives their children d
fair start in the race" /"
The purpose of the quotations from
Mr.. Hearst's frequent and sturdily in
dividual utterances is to make clear
that he Is the best as well as the mos
conspicuous representative man of the
democratic party, and to show the
people at large that IL Mr.. Hearst is
in growing favor it is because he
speahs SO plainly his purposes ii he
should achieve the presidency.
II Mr. Hearst's views are to prevail
In the government of the people it is
an advantage to have them presented
with fuliness in few words. The lu-
cidity of his remarks betters ANYTHING
we have had from Democrats
for some time. His striking sentences
exceed Grover Cleveland's in the fn.
sion of democracy with socialism, and
that is precisely the great recruiting
ground, IL there is any, of the party.
Mr.. Cleveland is vapid about the
tariff. Mr.. Hearst has every time the
advantage or disadvantage of being
understood. He is certainly a deft
writer and strong in political contro.
yersy; and the times are propitions
for fair dealing in declaring doctrine
Mr.. Hearst wisely comes up to, the
mark. He slams out what he has te
say. He makes no false pretenses
Mr.. Hearst is not a boy. He is. a mar
forty years Of age and runs more
machinery without friction than any
other man whose daily work in the
world is known. He should be under.
stood that he does his own strenuous
writing TO the public. The fact viii
be e@eiaattiion TO the greater numbe,
OF people, for he has been poo-hooheG
as a man Of gold end net ef brains q iii;
He has a goodly share of both precious
possessions. III there is obstinate
democratic objection to him it is be-
cause he is not deceptive. II it is
democratic doctrines he declares, he
is undoubtedly the logical candidate
for the presidency, as he is distinctly
the leader OF the thought Of his party.
No one in it exceeds him in honesty.
good faith, courage or capacity.
