The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1908-10-24

Just twenty-four years ago this
month James G. Blaine was defeated
for the presidency by the TOOL utter
ance of a New. York preacher. Up to
the closing days of October Blaina's
election was conceded, despite the
auarrels within the ranks of his own
party. Then came the theatrical call
upon him by a body of New York
ministers, a call carefully engineered
by the republican managers. Rev. Dr.
Burchard on that occasion gave utter
ance to the famous rum, romanism
and rebellion" alliteration-and from
that moment Blaine's defeat was as
sured.
Had James G. Blaine rebuked
Rurchard, he might have been saved.
But with tears glistening in mis-
eyes" he thanked the spokesman and
his companions for their assurances
of help and good wishes.
By remaining silent he acquiesced
in the statement of the reverend gen.
tleman, and millions of men who loved
Elaine with a devotion that is shown
to but few men, saw their political
seeing him president of this great re-
public dispelled.
Another "Burchard" has appeared in
the closing days of the 1908 campaign.
but the stage setting is just little
different.
A few weeks ago James Schoolcraft
Sherman, republican candidate for
vice president. spoke at Akron, Ohio.
Akron Is the headquarters of the Dia-
mond Match Co.. which is the match
trust. He was introduced to his audi
ence by o. C. Barber, president of the
Diamond Match Co, who spoke as fol-
lows:
ain our plant at earberton $50 en-
rioyes are daily producing as many
matches as 5000 men did in thirty-six
factories a score Of years ago when
the corporation was formed. Each
succeeding year in the history of the
organization more money has been
made. Although the cost Of raw ma
terial and labor has been increased,
labor saving devices and increased de-
mands have made the earnings of the
corporation greater. Today our Bar
berton plant produces 60 per cent
more matches than all the factories
combined at the time Of the combina-
ton.

FOR THE SUCCESS OF THE Ola.

all craftsmanship and sectarian bias
aside. the speaker drew a mental por-
trait of the kind of man who, in his
opinion, ought to be sought out and
placed in the White house.
II would be useless to. try and pre-
sent a satisfactory synopsis of Rev.
Mr.. Beall's sermon, But it was. SO
strong, SO full of Christian common
sense and SO helpful that movement
is on foot to have him repeat it in a
more central location before the cleo
ton. If he do es, every workingman,
and every man who is trying to secure
better conditions. should make it a
point to hear it.

committed in leading the railroad men
into trouble. These organs relied up
on the fact that Phelan was dead for
safety in uttering this gross untruth
But there are yet living men who
knew Phelan intimately and who
were his close friends to the day of
his death. One of them is James 3.
Connors, second vice-president of the
Switchmen's Union of North America
Mr.. Connors has this to say about Phe-
ian and Taft:
IF. w. Phelan was loyal to the A.
r. U. until his death. He never
thought of such a thing as apologize
ing for the part he took in the strike.
Nor did he cease to condemn Taft
for his judicial tyranny, and If he
were ;i7ins today to DC &C himself,

at is not the monopoiies that stand
against the advancement of the coun-
try, they are the public benefactors.
They are responsible for the advance
ment Of the wages. We hear much
about the classes and the masses. The
greatest number of organized laborers
Samuel Gompers ever had under him
Vas 2,ooo, 600 men. This is a country
of 10000 900 people. The union men
are therefore the classes and the re.
mainder are the masses, and it is
these classes that are the real tyrants
ct the country.
"They resort to violence to gain
their end, and they always cling to
violent principles"
When Mr.. Sherman heard union men
called anarchists" did ne resent the
unjust accusation?
Mr.. Sherman did not
When Mr.. Sherman heard union men
classed as demagogues did he deny
the classification and defend the hon
est and patriotic toilers of the coun.
try? ...
Mr.. Sherman did not.
On the contrary, Mr.. Sherman sat
silent while the TRADE was being ut
he did not defend the toilers. BY his
silence he gave approval to BARRIERS
sentiments. BY his silence he ac-
ouiesced in Barber's assertion that
labor unions of today are composed
! largely of anarchists, socialists and
| demagogues." When he arose to
speak he uttered not word of pro.
test against the slanderous statement
of this mighty trust magnate.
If you were the friend of man
would you sit silent while another

friend? What would you think of the
man who pretended to be your friend
but uttered no protest when he heard

Frank Phelan, the American Rail-
by Judge Taft for contempt Of court
on the testimony of a hired spy, is
dead. Now that his bones have re-
turned to dust Judge Taft says he
admitted thar the Taft injunction and
the Taft punishment were right and
deserved. 1t is easy to call upon the
dead for vindication. The republi-
can organs have printed story to the
effect that after his release from pris-
on Phelan called on Judge Taft and
admitted the righteousness of his sen
tence and begged the judge to help
him undo the wrong he (Phelan) had

the following regarding J. Adam

Congressman Bede has a ma

in demand from New Work to San
Francisco; he is the peer of any
man. in congress, and there is none
of them that cares to or dares to
lock horns with him on the floors
of congress or elsewhere, because
they know that while he is jovial
and likes a joke, back of it there is
a brain, large, active, equal to the
best and superior to most and with
traits of character that makes him
popular, respected by all and with
the power and ability to make HIM
self feared when necessary. There
is not a man in congress today so
well equipped to get what he goes
after as J. Adam Bede. / have no
axes to grind, there is no public

Want $4,000

Damage suits aggregatlng $780,
900 have been instituted against
the Oliver Mining Co. in District
Court, every case being the result
of dynamite explosions. Frank
Grazer, of this city, wants 500, 900
for being injured in an explosion
at the Zenith mine on Oct. Is, 1907.
He is rendered permanently blind.
All of the plaintiffs aliege that they
had not sufficient experience or IN
struction in the handling of danger
Gus explosives to be put to work at
such job, and that the defendant
company furnished them with de-
fective and carelessly handled fuses
with which to work. The injuries
in most cases were due to workmen
going back to investigate charges,
which were slow in exploding, but
which went off with fatal violence
when they were close to them.
