POST. POURs OUT 4 LOT.
OF venom Y. ABOUT LABOR
Buys Up Columns of Advertis-
ing Space in Newspapers
to Roast Unions.
His Main Object is to Advertise
His Unwholesome Food
Concoction.

In a. diatribe Of several columns in.
both Of our daily papers filled with
coarse invective and false rant, C.. w.
Post the Battle Creek producer of food
decoction, is out against union labor
casually, but mainly to give an original
turn to his methods Of advertising his
nostrums. This deluge Of billingsgate
"a stencil Of felsehood and villification
befoul the sense Of hearing and
disgrace beyond publication the type
In which it blazed forth, and no self
respecting newspaper would permit the
approach Of such declaration of op-
teal supervision, much less give it
space at SO much per line. But Erie
is the place Of publication Of a so-call-
ed newspaper which displays a pre-
deliction for such filth as Post gives
vent to, and not only published with
out question, but gives editorial in
dorsement to the views Of the diatri-
Dist.
Statements Wholly False.
The veEomous and wholly false
statements of an unsafe and unblush-
ing fabricator are beneath notice, but
attention Is called to it in order that
the public may discern to what lengths
men Of the Parry and Post stamp will
go to villify the men who are of opinion
that they have souls and are entitled
to at least a look at the good things
of this world. Few will see the insane
effusion of diabolism in the local pub
LEGATION which gave it space, and we
advise all who are DESTROYS of ascer-
tanning the true sentiments of the
snobs and quacks among some of our
noveau riches-people who would con-
ceal the Identity of low, or maybe, base
ancestry, by display Of hatred for the
common herd.
Post is Most blatant.
We have turned with disgust from
the rabid, senseless utterances of So
called anarchists and violent extrem-
lists, and we have listened to the most
blatant and offensive Of the worst of
them. but this man Post doubly dis
counts them all. If he mixes his venom
with his food nostrums, they would be
inoculated with a poison so deadly as
to. rob the users Of sense and all hui
name feeling and make them demons
of hate and malevolence. He stands
for all that Is unholy and opposed to
Gods first and greatest law of love for
fellow man next to God himself, and
no person, no institution or RECOGNIZED
right is so sacred as to be spared the
infl1ct1on of his vituperative and inane
utterances. The memory of the Ia
mented and revered President McKin.
ley Is insulted and besmirched by the
ribald and sacrilegious references OF
this maniac to whom the thought of
assertive manhood is so repugnant and
he would out-Herod Herod in his ef-
forts to destroy the principles of equal
>1ty and justice which impelled our
forefathers to take up the guage of
what. the world looked on as hope
less battle, and which gave them the
strength to overcome tyranny.
Talks Like Tory.
This precious exponent of the doc
trine of the suppression Of conscience
and free will takes occasion to refer
to his New England forbears In an
outburst Of patriotic effulgence, but we
would be willing to wager that If the
generations preceding him were natives
Of New England at the time of the
Revolution and were imbued with the
sentiments of their descendant. thew
were rank and rabid tories, giving every
aid to the suppression Of liberty. and
the fastening Of tyranny upon the
American people. Such sentiments as
he expresses were as foreign to the
spirit of Americanism then as they are
now, and If voiced then the declaimer
would have great need to exercise ex-
IRENE vigilance to evade the just re-
sentiment Of the people. Post would be
the Robespierre of the revolution he
urges, and, like that bloodthirsty and
rapacious executioner, would surpass
F.. the patience of even his most rabid
supporters, to fall, like the French ty-
rant, beneath the guillotine Of his own
vengeance. Marat never wrote a more
'demnable or more vindictive effusion
to incite class hatred, and his boast
that he has the money-made from the
people whom he would subject to the
iron heel and the rapacious greed of
industrial slavery-to discriminate his
doctrine of hatred and suppression OF
manhood earns him the avoidance OF
every man, woman and child. with a
decent thought uppermost.
This man Post needs looking after.
His remaining at large is a. public men,
ace. Men with sounder mental facul-
ties and immensely greater reasoning
powers are confined as dangerous lun-
atics.
Post a Fuedalist,
Post-appropriately named. as re-
manning in idea and principle to the
primitive days of feudalism-affects to
see in the labor union "a genuine trust,
a labor trust, a combination to sell la
Dor" to the highest bidder. Granted,
what is there irregular Or illegal in the
idea? What other commodity has the
workingman to sell but his labor, and
will Mr.. Post or any other man deny
him the right to put a price on that
product? Is 1t the privilege, Of the
consumer to tell Post what he shall
charge for the stuff he shovels out Of
his Battle Creek factory: Is it the
privilege Of the workingman to compel
his price upon the merchant or manu-
