BUSINESS PROSPECTS ENcouR.
AGING,

We are instinctively optimistic, and
notwithstanding the dark clouds
which here and there obscure the IT,
dustrial sky. we can discern encour-
aging prospects that the period Of
trade depression, with its accompany
ing hardships to the working classes
is fast passing away.
The election Of William Jennings
Bryan as president Of the United
States will contribute materially to
the establishing of such governmental
reforms as are necessary to the re-
storing OF the peoples confidence in
peoples government, and the allay-
Ing Of that mistrust Of the stability
OF our institutions which Republican
mismanagement has generated.
The panic from which the country
ia just emerging, and for which the
Republican party by It's own logic is
responsible. has imposed great sacri-
fees upon the working people, but
let us hope that out Of all it's misery
may come q better and sounder PROS
perity in all our business affairs.
From all quarters Of the country
come reports OF the opening of fac
tories and mills, the increase Of forces
On railroads and renewed activity in
all lines OF industry.
With our factories and our mills
filled with working men, our mechan-
les, artisans and laboring men at
work and their wages in circulation,
the business interests that have been
affected By the loss Of their patron
age Will feel stimulus, which will
put new life into all the arteries Of
trade,

ARREST OF kAPLAN,

We regret to learn that our friend
Morris Kaplan was just a trifle too
strenuous to suit the views Of the
Minneapolis police.
He was attending street meeting
Of the Socialists, and according to
accounts refused to move on" when
ordered to do so by the police. The
police then deprived him of the lib
erty which they alleged he was abus-
ing; but g. deposit of SIS assuaged
their patriotic anger, and Kaplan
again perambulated the streets a free
man, none daring to make him
afraid" We have not learned the
details in full, but it is more than
probable the police were over off,
cious. Mr.. Kaplan has always been
an honest, law-abiding citizen in Du-
luth, respected by men of all parties,
and the news Of his arrest was a
great surprise to us ALL

APPROACH OF CRISIS
:, =: !: =. S .ss IN G: P. r: STRIKE
Disabled =. Locomotives PiIing Up at
Division Points Before Grain
Rush.

WINNIPEG, Man., Aug. 20.-The
indications tonight are that crisis
Is approaching in the Canadian Pacific
railway strike. Disabled locomotives
ar Ell piling up at all division points
and the accumulation is becoming
serious, as the company is sdisappoint-
ed in not securing skilled mechanics
to take the strikers places as readily
as they anticipated. The number Of
laid up engines at points outside Of
Winnipeg is alarming, as the equip
ment Of this division was not in as
good shape as that looked after by
the, local shops. The harvesting Of
wheat will be two weeks earlier than
had been expected and viii mean q
rush Of grain the latter part of the
month to railway points.
None induced to Return.
: MONTREAL, Que, Aug. $3.50 far
as can be learned none Of the strik-
ing shop employees OF the Canadian
Pacific were induced to return to
work today by the notices posted by
the company declaring. that those who
do not return by Tuesday will be
considered to have permanently LETT
the company's employ, and that their
places would be filled as. fast as pos
sible.
Bell Hardy, the strike leader, says
the notice will have no effect.
Additional employment agencies
have been opened at various town on
the American border. Advertisements
for mechanics are also being inserted
in all the leading newspapers.

GOV. JOHNSON NOMINATED.

Many thousands of Republicans
throughout Minnesota, as we'll as the
entire Democracy and the Independent
voters Of the state, are rejoicing over
the action of the Democratic state
convention in giving the people an
other opportunity Of supporting John
A. Johnson for governor.
During the four years of his incum-
bency of the office, he has been pee
uliarly the peoples executive.
Party lines of demarkation were
never permitted to influence his ac-
ton or decision upon any question
pertaining to the welfare Of the state,
and the upholding of the good name
and fame of Minnesota and its people.
The rights of the humblest citizen
he considered as sacred as that Of the
most pretentious millionaire.
An honest and efficient admins
tration of the affairs of state has been
his sole purpose of endeavor as gov
ernor.
Rich and poor, Republicans and
Democrats, the northern as well as
the southern portion Of the state we're
accorded even handed justice upon all
measures, so far as 1t lay within the
power Of any state executive to
grant it.
What a strange contrast there ex-
lists between Governor Johnson's intel.
ligent and comprehensive grasp OF
public questions, as compared with
the sectional narrowness. and OBJ
st1nate adherence to ANTICIPATED
policies 80 characteristic OF his op-
ponent on the Republican ticket.
It is the difference that distinguish
es the true statesman from the mere
township politician.

says an exchange, for revtving Horace
Greeley's saying, go west, young
man, and grow up with the country
The west is no longer a free field
for enterprising and industrious men
to build up their fortunes.
The West has been appropriated
and capitalized, and It has its. rexi-
ments and brigades Of the army OF
the unemployed, no less willing to
work, and no less desperately suffer-
Ing under these hard times than those
of the east.
From Chicago, from ST. Louis, from
Denver and Salt Lake City, from Los
Angeles and San Francisco and
Seattle, all these ten months past,
have been coming reports Of reduc-
ton Of working forces, closing OF
mills, cutting down Of wages, of wide
spread poverty, OF hungry crowds
surrounding the employment Offices
and the charity bureaus, frequently
more than duplicating conditions in
the congested cities of the east.
Evidently hunger and want are not
strangers In the west. And to hold
out to the unemployed workers the
delusive hope that by going out on
the prairies or the mountains they
will find economic freedom and pros
perity is cruelty and criminally false.

DisREPUTABLE TACTICS,

For the sole purpose Of discredit-
ing organized labor and causing dis
sension and strife In it's ranks, Ger
tain newspapers are devoting much
time and space to an abuse of our
honored leader, Samuel Gompers for
having the courage of his convictions
by plainly indicating labors duty to
itself in the coming election.
These papers are controlled body,
soul and spirit by interests and in
huences wholly antagonistic to labor,
and they hope by heaping abuse and
vtllification upon labor leaders to
weaken the weight given to their
recommendations by the rank and file.
They take 1t for granted that as
the Republican party had wholly re-
fused to consider the wishes OF Or
ganized labor, the latter would be a
solid phalanx against the ticket. and
the only hope of the party lay In
creating discord in the ranks of the
men Of labor.
They will not succeed. Labor is
fully alive to their methods and it's
members are not going to be nnislead
by any such tactics. Labor knows
well that 1t has been dealt powerful
blows by ite enemies, and whether or
not such treatment Of it shall be
allowed to continue is put squarely
up to the laboring man for his deci-
sion at the polls next November.
The Republican party definitely
lines up with the corporate interests
OF the country and has practically
defied the laboring classes to help
u themselves. .555. .~z.4s@ 5@ I

ATTITUDE OF THE ENEMY.

Van Cleave, he of anti-union fame,
boasts of having had his way as a
lobbyist against the demands OF labor
before congress, and later of having
defeated labor before the Republican
national convention and having &C.
compl1shed all this by the aid of
Republican leaders and politicians he
now urges all the enemies Of labor
to unite and bury Bryan beneath an
avalanche Of votes.
Just at this time when the Repub-
ncan press Of the country is busily
engaged In proving that no union
man will be Influenced In his choice
Of the candidates for the coming cleo
ton by any action Mr.. Gompers may
take, it may not be amiss to quote
few lines from recent number of
American Industries, Mr.: Van cleave's
recognized organ.
Under the caption 1.-THE Business
Mans Vote" was the following:
"Foreseeing the action Of the Denver
convention, the business men Of this
country did not carry to it their
fight against radical unionism. The
result Of the convention has made it
the duty Of the employing interests,
regardless Of party, to bury Bryan
and Organism under such an ava
lanche Of votes that the work will
not have to be done over again ii,

KEEP AWAY FROM SEATTLE.

The Central Labor Council of
Seattle desires to deny the statement
that there is shortage Of skilled
labor in the northwest. This organ
ization desires to convey to all me-
chanics that whenever there is a

notify all organizations through the
unions anG through the labor press.
and not through certain of the daily
