before advised congress that lit is
worth considering whether it would
not give greater popular confidence
in the impartiality of sentence for
contempt if 1t was required thai the
issues should be decided by another
judge than the n Issuing the in
Junction"
Their has not been a session OF
congress in twelve years at which
the Republican party could not have
passed a law prescribing, defining
n regulating the issuance of injunc-
lions and providing for fair trials in
contempt cases. Yet nothing has been
done to give the wage Garner fair
treatment, and less than nothing is
offered to him in the Chicago deliv-
erance. The meaningless general
ties Of its Injunction plank are an
insult to the intelligence of those
who demand reasonable and substan-
tial legislation to prevent the admit
ted abuse of this judicial process.
Again the PRESIDENT said to Con-
gress:
twenty-five years ago. by act
of III 20, 1886. trades unions
were recognized by law, and the
right of laboring people to combine
for lawful purposes was formally
recognized, this right including
combination for mutual protection
of their trade or trades; and in Act
of June l, 1898, strikes were reeog-
nized as legal in the same provision
that forbade participation in or
instigation of force or violence
against persons Or property, or the
attempt to prevent others from
working by violence, threat or in
timidation. The business man must
he protected in person and proper
ty, and so must h farmer and the
wage worker, and as regards all
alike, the rights of peaceful com.
ibination for all lawful purposes
should be explicitly recognized"
n in still another message he
said:
cit must be remembered that a
preliminary injunction in a labor
case, if granted without adequate
proof may often settle the
dispute between the parties, n
therefore if improperly granted
may do ~irreparable wrong. Yet
there are many judges who assume
a matter-of-course granting of a
preliminary injunction to be the
ordinary and proper judicial dispo-
sition of such cases, and there have
undoubtedly been fragrant wrongs
with labor even within the last
few years." etc.
1t is important to note hat the
Act of Jun 20, 1886, was passed at
the first session of the first congress
that met under the first Democratic
administration after the Civil War,
and there labor received its first rec
ognition from the government. One
another for twenty-four years
anu not one act was passed in the
OF b or in acknowledge
ment of It's right to fair and equal
treatment. The Republicans enacted
a tariff which enhanced the price of
products that labor had made and
capital owned, and thus they preten-
ded to do this with a view of secur-
Fnr lohnr hiOhnr UaOaC What
they gave, however, was to the capt.
talist, and they trusted him to di-
vide. That the increased profits OF
protected employers have made them
to pay the labortng man higher
wages no n can doubt, but 1t re-
mains for the saving grace of AL
God so to QUO their hearts
as to make them willing to pay the
wages. Among the contribu-
that went to make up the mon
ument that this great man, Grover
builded in the respect and
affection of his countrymen, few are
more striking than his almost in
recognition, as evidenced by
HaSI VI 1coo, VI thC SANK LII JdoA
demands of labor on the law-making
power. Under him Democracy blazed
the way and now remains the I'M
dinching champion OF every sound
in this direction. Immunity
rom law we promise nobody; immu-
lity from oppression, from its very
infancy the Democratic party has
dedicated to establish and Sc
cure.
The Tariff.
The President and his party de-
'lare that a prediction revision of
he tariff would be unw1se.
This assertion has been repeated
n advance of every election since
he enactment of the Dingley law,
nd surely the country will not
gain be deceived by Republican pro-
1fses to revise the tariff after the
lection. Their appeal to the people
