different. There is always market for

bears no immediate relation to the cost

production, the greater the profit;
hence labors' demands are directly up
On the pocket of the mine owners.
1t is asserted and apparently not
without reason, that the strike was
encouraged, If not actually brought
about, by the mine owners, with
view to a disruption of the unions.
With vain, weak man in the execu-

Deportation is still the order in Colo
RADIO by that gang Of anarchists who
should have long ago tasted the SAVIOR
OF the same laws that they ignore.
This time it Is the attorneys for the
Western Federation Of Miners who
have been deported. What did the
mine owners have against them? Moth
ing more than that they had expressed
sympathy for the federation. Has not
this thing reached g. limit under the
stars and stripes. II it was property
Of angry strikers the entire militia OF
the state would be on the ground to
protect it. If it was the mine owners
who We're being deported there would
be no end Of the trouble, and the whole
machinery of the law would be set in
action against the deporters. That is
the difference, you know.
It didn't take Grover Cleveland very
long to send federal troops into the
state Of Illinois t. crush the A. r. u.
strike. There the solidarity of labor
exen1plified as it never was
before. Up to the time that federal
troops appeared in the city Of Chicago
the only lawlessness that occurred was
that which appeared in the newspa-
pers, greatly magnif1ed and for a pur-
pose. The general managers associa-
ton had that all fixed. The president
Of the United States sent representa-
tive to investigate. This representa-
tive, by strange coincidence, was
also an attorney for the railroads. Mr..
Cleveland acted upon this gentleman's
report. Contrary to the wishes of the
:. governor the president of the United
States invaded with federal troops the
sovereign state Of Illinois. Mr.. Cleve-

JOSEPH LETTER, THE MILLION
ARE CRIMINAL.

Joseph Letter, the former wheat
gambler, and now a divine right coal
operator, who Is making a desperate
effort to crush the manhood and in
dependence Of spirit out of his en-
ployes, has built stockade about his
mining property In Ohio, and defies any
man to enter without passport from
his superintendent, under penalty of
being shot to death at the gate.
The United States postoffice is To-
Gated within the walls Of the stockade
II Is here where much. Of the mail Of
the miners and their union has been
sent. Yet Letter refuses to permit the
men TO call for their mail.
1t is charged that all mail for the
union has been tempered with. But in
spite of appeals the post office depart
ment has failed to take any action in
the matter. If the law was enforced
Mr.. Letter and his superintendent
would now be on trial before a federal
court. But it is millionaire Joseph
Letter who violates the law. Who
ever heard Of millionaire being
brought before a criminal court for
such violation Ut the law.
In 1894 the members Of the American
Railway union refused to work on the
railroads handling Pullman sleepers.
The United States government took a
hand in the matter, and Eugene ".
Debs with his. associates were sent to
jail for interfering with the mails. This
Is the difference between a working
man and millionaire who violates the
law. -
This week Letters superintendent
decided to have his guards shoot the
first sympathizer OF the miners union
who dared to approach the stockade.
Mr.. sympathizer appeared ! and was
shot. This caused q small. riot some

Too many people, and not a few
Workingmen are afraid to take up the
question Of socialism because they fear
that 1t is too closely allied with anar-
cny. How foolish. Just look up your
Standard dictionary. 1t will tell you
that socialism is the very opposite Of
anarchy. Socialism means more gov
eminent. Anarchy means no govern
ment. From present indications an
archy is enthroned now, and what is
wanted to give relief Is more govern
ment. Socialism If you please.

sr. LOUIS COUNTY DEMOCRATS.

The St. Louis county Democrats, a
ton Monday afternoon, and repudiated
everybody and everything that the par
ty has stood for the past eight years. A
new gospel and new men were taken
up, and with a mild enthusiasm the
adherents of this element will leave
Cor Minneapolis next week to nomin-
ute a state ticket.
After all there isn't very much to get
made over this year. The only differ
ence in both of the old parties is the
candidate for president. The plat
forms stand for almost the same
things Both ignore the living issues
that can not be downed and both have
gone OH a tangent with such borrowed
issues as i'm pei talism. tariff and play
It honest government.
The so-called Bryan faction has lost
Interest in the campaign which started
out last spring under the most prom
Using auspices. There is not one of
them who can indulge in the political
work Of this campaign with any heart
1t Is a luke warm proposition, even
with the warmest supporters Of Judge
Parker. His leading supporters here
have only one ambition. and that Is to
be able to control the political patron
age that his election will bring. Judge
Parker may succeed in being elected
president Of the United States, but will
some one be kind enough to tell us
where the working men will receive
any encouragement by his election?
In the state campaign 1t is proposed
to barter tine nomination for governor
in the same manner as the nomination
for president was purchased at St.
Louis. John A. Johnson, a gold Demo-
crat, the only gold Democrat In the
state legislature who opposed a veto
from Gov Lind, is being doomed by
the same element that secured control
Of the st. Louis county convention
Monday. His nomination would be a
reward for treachery and party disrup-
tion~ The Bryan element from this
section Is in favor Of that champion
Of popular rights. that distinguished
citizen Of Winona, Judge H. L. Buck.
The Bryan element will lose. There
is no sincerity In the Democratic par
ty as now constituted Trades would
be made with the most bitter opponents
Of the people, If they would in any
manner insure party success. The
Democratic party is today not a party
of principle but of expediency. While
it does not make much difference how
the worktngmen of st. Louis county
vote this year, yet, If they really are
DESTROYS Of striking blow at the polls
in November in defense of a true
Democracy they should vote for that
true champion Of popular rights, Eu-
gene V. Debs. It is their only hope
Mark you we'll what we say.
