worlsmen to lie idle
They stopped the loading and ihi-
LOADING Of ships and Ry care;
stopped work on buildings the mining
of gold and silver, copper and coal
Stopped the manufacture of millions
OF dollars worth of American articles
which foreigners stood ready TO pay
money for
It Is believed by many that one OF
the chief caus Of the panic and
present hard ii y was the persistent
and widespread interference with aud
stoppage of industry brought about
By these same Labor-Socialists IN dc,y-
ing away business and preventing the
steady distribution of money among
he working classes Every million
dollars worth of steam pumps farm
implements, boots and shoes. steel,
iron locomotive cars, cotton goods.
etc, etc. sent abroad, brings back a
million dollars to be distributed iD the
workmen. who dig ore and snelt It,
moulders who cas- the iron. machin-
lists, wood workers, cotton mill employ
ees, etc. etc Bot the LaborSocial-
lists have time aud again stopped lp
the source of this flow OF money and
have entailed on this country millions
upon millions of dollars IN losses aud.
consequently, much misery npon work
people.
the Labor leaders have brought
strikes to force all employers TO Kick
out Independent American workmen
and employ only Union men, thus to
give absolute power to the leaders, Sc
cure fees to pay their own salaries
first, and, in order to keep their slaves
interested, force higher and higher
wages Here we reach the foundation
fact again.
Now, when the jobs the I.abor-So
cialists threw away are taken by
others, or the business has been
killed for the time, and they are "un.
employed do they pay their own ex
penses OF DO they besiage the author
tiles 10 tax the class of Home-Owners
to pay extra money towards a public
fund to be used to pay the class OF
unemployed Labor-Socialists2
Here .h' line between classes Is
clearly drawn and you get back again
TO the same old spot. Take from one
class and give to the other
Make the consumer pay extra
money and give it to the Labor -Sociat
istsp
/ Charge the Home-Owner extra
wages for all labor which enters into
the building OF his home
"lIe has been saving, now lefs take
away part of il"
/ High wage for skillful work Is de
sirabla for all. but when a Labor I'm
ion gains power enough to force home
owners to pay two, three or fOuI
times what hod-carriers and other
workmen are actually worth it means
} just so much extra money extracted
from the homeowner, more than the
service is worth
II comes back to the aame old place
you see. Look at the purpose OF AL

the LabOr-SOcialists Each and every
one seeks TO tie the hands of ten peo
pies courts. and for what purpose
