From the public press is taken the
following news item coming from
Pittsbarg. Pa. Feb s. 1905.
"The cry of the unemployed daily
grows more distressed in Pittsburg.
There are Is, 1000 men idle, and the
spectre of the dreaded soup houses
again makes its appearance. The first
soup house win be opened by the Sal.
walton Arm, Monday morning. and
unless there is radical and prompt
change for the better, more places OF
this kind win be in demand before
many days have elapsed The situa-
tion Is not really alarming. but II is
<ad enough Soup houses have been
the dread of the business men and
civic leaders, and every effort has been
made to avoid them"
Here Is the following news item
from Chicago, dated Feb. II, 1908:
Chicago. Feb. IL. 1908 Never in
the history OF the Chicago Relief and
Aii SociC.v' has there been such a
{ nand FOR assistance as at the pres
elt time. is the claim OF Superinten-
dent Kingsly. who is in charge of the F.
distribution OF funds by the iJ mess
mems relief committee which h~s just
raised between $4,000 and $50, coo for |
needy families. Never in the history
ef the society have we had So many
appeals based entirely on the lack Of
employnis .lt.'
/ i,ot long ago Mr.. Dalzell. who writes
the tariff tax recently as dictated by 4
the men who put up the money to paw
the expenses Of republican campaigns,
told us:
! I'VE do not read our tariff lessons
out OF books. We read them by the
blazing light OF open furance doors,
amid the noise of industrial activities
and In the sweat OF our brows that we
coin into wealth, and God help the
man or party that would put out these
fires. still the music of that noise, and
send the workmen homo to . foodless
and hungry household.
1T was under republican rule that
this music was stilled. that the fires
were put out. and that soup houses
had to provide for the foodless and
hungry"
No longer can any Republican ever
fool the people by claiming that "a
republican tariff has always been fol
lowed by business prosperity"
The time has come-the hour has |
s:ruck-for a change. Thousands Of
Republicans take their positions ana
will vote .or Bryan in November
