Labor Not Properly Rewarded.

The tariff is the mother of conspi-
racies in trade. Those conspiracies
rob the masses of their proper share
of the rewards of their toll. There
will always be rich people and poor
people and those of moderate means,
but under just laws billionaires will
be very scarce and paupers compare
lively few, while those of moderate
means, but possessing enough for the
comforts of life, will embrace the
great majority of the whole people,
with considerable part having more
than the substantial comforts. Mr..
Bryan most justly condemns the un-
equal distribution of rewards for men,
tai and physical efforts, which the sys-
tenn now prevailing undera prohibitive
tariff has created. Not only do those
living by physical labor wear out their
bodies in earning enough to keep
themselves and their families supplied
with the barest necessities, but the
and the teachers in the public schools
and the professors in the higher in
.stitutions of learning, as well as pro-
fessional men generally, exhaust their
powers and ruin their nervous systems
by the constant strain and endless
grind to which they are sujected for
a meagre compensation, while stream
of wealth builds up heartless pluto
cracy. The time has come for thor
ough revision of oul. entire industrial
system by knocking down robber
tariff, which is sure to follow the cleo
ton of Bryan and a Democratic house
of representatives. A suffering peo-
pie demand a change.

The Two Platforms.

If the mental attitude of the Repub-
lican party can be judged by the ac-
ton of the convention, it has taken
counsel of its fears, says The Com
moner.
In rejecting, by vote of 917 to 63-
nearly Is to 1.-THE plank providing
for the physical valuation OF rail-
roads, the Republican party admits
that it is afraid of the truth. What
objection can there be to finding out
what the railroads are actually worth? !?
If they are over-capitaized, the coun-
try ought to know it; if they are not
over-capitalized, the railroads them
selves ought to be glad to have the
fact announced. So long as the truth
is concealed, there will be exaggera-
ton on both sides-thOse who lean to
the side of the railroads denying that
there is over-capitalization, and those
who demand rate reduction insisting
that over-capitalization is consider
able. We ought to know the truth.
But the Republican party shows by
the action which the convention took
that it is afraid OF the truth. The
timidity of the Republican leaders was
even more emphasized in the vote of
$50 to 94-9 to 1-rejecting the plank
providing for publicity as to campaign
contributions and expenditures. They
are even afraid of the light, for publ
city would throw light upon politics.
Elections are public affairs and ought
to be conducted in a public way. Sc
crecy as to campaign methods and as
to the influences which affect elections
is indefensible. If the demand was
for the publication of past contribu-
tions and expenditures, the Republican
convention might have offered as an
excuse that contributions made and
money expended without expectation
of publicity could not be made public
without some embarrassment to those
giving and receiving, but such an ex-
cuse cannot be offered for law ap-
plying to future contributions and
disbursements.

GOMPERS TO SPEAK FOR BRYAN.
Labor Leader to Plunge Into Thick
of Campaign.

Washington, Aug. 5.-Samuel Comp
ers, president of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor, has arranged to get
in the thick of the political fight for
the Presidency by openly advocating
Mr.. Bryan from the platform. He left
Washington this afternoon for Lima,
Ohio, where he will deliver an address
before leaving for another address at
Columbus. If either of these speeches
is not calculated to throw votes to Mr..
Bryan it will be because Mr.. Gompers
changes his mind before he reaches
his destination.
From now on Mr.. Gompers intends
to conduct an active campaign for
Mr.. Bryan He will feel the pulse of
labor organizations throughout the
country; will advocate his views on
the political situation on every occa-
sion and will use other means to help
Mr.. Bryan. He is confident that the
labor vote throughout the country
will consider his views, although he
objects strongly to any suggestion
that he is trying to deliver" the la
bor, vote. According to Mr.. Comp
pers' statement he can deliver" only
one vote, and that is his own.
Mr.. Gompers said today that he had
received several tempting offers from
newspapers to become exclusive po-
litical writer for them. Several of
the offers would have brought hand
some compensation" Mr.. Gompers
said, 'but did not accept any of them
as l didn't think it would be fair to
the press for me to accpet."

Labor Finds Demands Rejected
By Republican Congress Leaders

With the session OF Congress almost
at an end. the leaders OF organized la
Dor are casting over their accounts and
are discovering that they have received
little consideration since the first Mon
day in December. They have been able
70 accomplish little in the way Of getting
the legislation they have urged Congress
to enact. IN the most important matters
which they have asked at the hands
Of Congress. they have apparently made
no progress.
The legislation that organized labor
has gotten in the course of this ses-
sion consists chiefly OF the enactment OF
a new employers liability law and a
child LABOR bill for the District of CO.
lumbia. 1t is possible a compensation
act for Government employees in the
hazardous occupations will be passed
before adjournment, but IL will be much
more limited than the one asked for by
the labor leaders.
When IL comes to antl-iniunction leg
islation and passage OF an eight-hour
law. no progress has been made. The
b'll realizing 10 convfct-made goods will
not be enacted. All OF the threats OF
President Samuel Gompers, OF the
American Federation OF Labor, and al
the thUnders Of the President in his
special messages on anti-injunction leg
isIauon have not avaied Congress
has not budged an inch and II is hard
TO see that the prospects are any bright
err for anu-injunctiOn legislation OF the
sort the labor leaders want now than
they were when the session opened
No Anti-InjunctiOn Law.
No signs appear that this Congress,
which Will exist until March 4, 1863.
will do anything on antl-injunctlon mat
tiers unless IL is OF sort that fails to
meet the sanction of organized labor.
The opinions OF members OF Congress
on the subject are so various that II
would be an extremely difficult matter
70 get anything agreed TO. even II the
committees could be induced 10 act fay
orably. II is now thoroughly realized
that when the President was seeking
10 drive Congress to do something or
this question by belaboring it with spe-
cial messages he was engaged in a
hopeless task so far AS this session and
pTobablys tAis Congress was concerned.
