THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

The Democratic party by It's plat
form, the public utterances Of it's
speakers, and the actions of it's repre-
sentatives in congress, has clearly
made good its claim Of keeping close
to the interests of the common people.
There is no suspicion attached to
its position upon any Of the import
ant public questions of the day.
Its position upon every question
affecting the membership of organized
labor is a fair, straight forward,
courageous declaration that goes
home with a feeling Of absolute salts
faction to every laboring man in the
country.
The great Commoner who heads
the Democratic ticket, declares that
the highest interests of our ma ton is
best subserved by according to organ
lied labor the full measure Of Justice
which is clearly it's due.
With regard to injunctions, he has
repeatedly declared that its use as a.
weapon in labor disputes is in direct
contravention of the spirit Of our
laws-that the main purpose of the
writ In such cases is to evade trial
by jury, and ought to arouse a I'M
anin1ous protest from all fair minded
citizens
Opposed to him is the inventor Of
labor injunction and political party,
supported by an aggregation Of vested
interests, of which Van Cleave Is the
exponent, who claim the right to
arbitrarily determine the hours, the
wages and the conditions Of labor.
Not only that, but they demand the
right to arbitrarily determine the
status of the laboring man and to fix
the conditions that are to surround
him and his posterity
1t will be up to you, Mr.. Labor
Ing Man, to give expression to your
opinion on these matters by the ballot
which you shall cast in November
next.

taxation still more equitable.
For Is years the American working
man has been told that receives higher
wages than the English workman sole
ly because of protection, but our wage
carriers now know that this cannot
be due to protection; because the
English workman receives higher
wages than the German workman, al
though the German tariff is higher
than the tariff Of Great Britain.
= Protection does not make good
wages. Our better wages are due to
the greater intelligence and skill of
our workmen, to the greater hope
which free institutions give them, to
improved machinery, to the better
conditions that surround them, and to
the organizations which have been
formed among the wage earners.
A revenue tariff will not bring a
panic; 1t will not inaugurate Indus

The voters of all political faiths

In partisanship, however, causes them

the tug-of.war act, at the polls while

DEMAND. THE LABEL,

:
The loyalty of labor to it's own cause
can be displayed in no better way
than in a demand for the label of the
United Garment Workers. Union when
purchasing suits, overa1ls, oilskins,
etc. Articles bearing the Garment
Workers label are made by white
men and women, under sanitary con,
ditions and other decent terms of en-
ployment. Similar articles without
the label are usually made in sweat
shops or Chinese dens. No trade
unionist is worthy the name who fails
to do his duty in this respect. De-
mand the union label on all products!

+ NEW YORK, Aug. 27.--Con1pelled to
recognize the fact that it has lost the
fight for the open shop and that many
Of It's members are. unionized, the New
York Typothetae issued circular re-
garding the proposed future policy Of
the United Typothetae Of America in
box anod job offices. The circular
was drafted at the monthly meeting
Of the New York Typothetae and is
to be submitted to the national CON
vention OF the Typothetae in septern-
Der.
The circular sent out on behalf Of
the New York members says:
I'VE believe that the United Typo
thetae OF America should remain an
association broad enough in its policy
to include all printers, whatever their
opinions concerning the expediency
or inexpedjency of employing union
labor or making union contracts. The
United Typothetae of America must
always obligate itself and it's money
to the support and defense OF its mem
beers who. believe in and operate open
shops. < e itude must never be
laid aside. ~: :s.. t*.ts: ~ =. 80
Yet Without forsaking this purpose,
1t lis possible for US to operate our
association on a;basis broad enough
to Include all master printers who are
awake to the value and Importance Of
thorough organization" r@:r~
After the recent strike of the prin-
tiers in the book and job offices Of the
Typothetae for the eight hour work
day it was understood that the prin-
tiers could return only as individuals.
Although union men were not be dis
eliminated against the open shop was
to be the rule. Some Of the master
printers are employing union men
only, because the men individually
happen to be union men. >, -
The resolutions to be submitted to
the national convention by the Chi
cago Typothetae provide that the open
shop members OF the Typothetae shall
be the only active members and that
members who have agreements with
and officially recognize the union
shall be nowr1k as Sustaining mem
bers' and shall have no vote in deter
mining the labor policy Of the Typo
thetae. Secretary Smith Of the New
York Typothetae said last evening:
We do not propose to cater to the
unions, but to have the Typothetae on
q broad basis, giving employers the
right as active members to have the
open shop or to recognize the. union
without binding i our members to
either. but at the same time to guar
antee support to any Of our members
whose printers are on strike for the

CANDIDATE JACOBSON.

The gentleman who leafs his pie
with a knife" is trying to charge
Governor Johnson with the RESPONSE
bility for certain jacobson alleged
extravagancies of the last Repub-
lican legislature.
The trouble with the Republican
candidate for governor is that his
methods Of reasoning are on par with
his table manners.
Both are the Anticipated manners
and methods Of one who is entirely
behind the age by reason Of his utter
lack of progressive spirit.
We are not apologist for a Repub-
lican legislature, but the Republicans
who were responsible for the improve
ments and measures which Mr.. ia
cobson characterizes as extravagan-
cies, were men that know more in a
minute than he ever knew or can
know, because he has not the capacity
therefor.
We have the honor Of knowing some
of the Republicans to whom he al
ludes. and they are much superior to
him in those qualities that make for
good craftsmanship as the average
man is to wooden Indian.
Jacobson is probably all right in
his place, but it's a huge farce to
think Of making him governor Of the
great and progressive state of Mime
sofa, and reminds one of the time
mirth provoking Duluthians nomin-
ated Dick Cullen for mayor.

When Father Played Baseball

""ou TdsnoE TIdyeo 0a6eodii.
The smell Of arnuica is strong,
And mothers time is spent
In rubbing fathers arms and back
With burning Imminent.
The house is like druggist shop,
Strong odors fill the hall;
All day and night we hear him groan
When father played baseball.
He's past forty, but he declared
That he was young as ever;
And in his youth he said he was
At baseball very clever.
So when the business men arranged
A game, they came to call
On dad, and asked him If he thought
That he could play baseball?
II haven't played in fifteen years."
Said father, "but I know
That I shall stop the grounders hot.
And 1 can make them throw.
1 used to play corking game;
The curves-I know them all.''
He had the makeup on all right,
When father played baseball.
A liner came his way;
Dad tried to stop it with his knee.
And missed a double play.
He threw into the bleachers twice,
He let pop-fly fall!
Oh! We were all ashamed Of him.
When father played baseball.
He tried to run, but tripped and fell.
he tried to make q throw;
1t put three fingers out of joint,
And father let it go.
He stopped grounder-with his
face
Was spiked-nor was that ALL
1t looked to us like suicide,
When father played baseball.
At last he limped away. and now
lie suffers In disgrace;
His arms are bathed in IMMINENT.
Court plaster hides his face
He says his back Is breaking ana
His legs won't move at all. &

he tried to play baseball.

NEW STRIKES
 ON THE YUKON

w. E. Walker, the first man to ar- rive in Nome from the outside this winter, says that many new strikes are being made in different places along the Yukon.
 While on the way over the Ice he found that strike had been made at Gold mountain, and 50 or 80 men are now in the section, while several boil. CTS are at work.
 The place is about 30 miles below Fort Gibbon on the right limit of the Yukon. Pretty good pay has been discovered.
 About 40 miles below Gibbon anoth. CT strike has been made opposite the mouth of the Melozi, and many men are now in that section also. The pay in the latter is not very big, but hope for better is entertained.-Nom Nugget.

Honolulu, May 28-Maj. wv. Haan, coast artillery, U. s. A., in an address before the Honolulu chamber of con- merce, asks the territory to recruit coast guard volunteer regiment of not less than 500 men, to assist in handling the heavy batteries to be established on the island of Oahu. The federal gov ernment, he said, would be able to sup ply about half the force necessary for the contemplated Notifications, and in case of emergency would expect the territory to make up the deficiency.
 Major Haau, who is a member of the general stsG, has been here for the past three weeks gathering data with refer ence 10 Notifications needed to make the Island of Oahu impreGnaole. In the mountain districts he has been some- what impeded from lack of accuracy of the maps available, and as result will ask that company of engineers be de. tailed here to make complete and de- tailed survey of the island.
