Sequachee Valley news. (Sequachee [Sequatchie], Tenn.) 1896-1952, 1916-09-21
AGAINST BOTH
POLITICAL PARTIES

After reading tue News and other
TaDers see that Roosevelt aud Taft
hold to Hughes, aud I find that Mr.
Hughes is criticising Nh Wilson be
cause he did not iump into war Just
because some Americans lost their
lives by going where they had no bus
mess to go In the first place they
who lost their lives knew that all shius
had been notified to stay ont of the
wal zone. and especially those that
had Americans on them. Ii is plain
case to, a man that can see anything,
that when ,apital can't do as they
please they want fight. 1t is their
COW, but the working man has to do
all the fighting. If the rich men bad
to 20 in front to fight, there would
not be any fight, but they want war so
they can make money, while the la
boring classes are fighting each other
| say myself MIR. Wilson did not do
what be should have done, for he
ought to have mace law against
shipping anything out of America to
any nation in war, and stopped all
ships from sailing out Then if peo-
| ule would 90 on other ships and went
to the bottom, just let item go. But
that was not what theV wanted. 1t
! V.
were lost that hurt item, or they
would not have wanted to get thous-
amos more killed. But no, labor is
| getting too strong for them, and they
must get up fight to throw teen out
20 they can rule They must have the
money, if it takes your life. They
must have it, no matter how many
widows and orphan children are left
70 %t,nI yxrTNnT Of 10,
quick Mr.. Wilson laid hold of the rail
road strike. That's enough to show
how ths money grabbers hang on to
each other. And look how many off
fe' ent letters were written to Nash
that they would help guard their Trop-
erty. They say hundreds. That shows |
how quick the laboring class will |
Jump in to help the money rover to |
down himself. Cant any man see |
of the laboring class to jump into hell |
for. his dollar and a smile and as he
goes in the money power will say good |
boy, for you have done what he want
ed You to do, and he has no more use
for you, unless more trouble comes
M,
Now, men. if you want to jump in
to war and meet your doom. Just elect
Hughes and you have got it. The
money power is sticking to that point.
They want to rob the poor of all they
have got Wilson is democrat. but
you had better be glad you bad him,
or you would have been fighting right
here. What caused the trouble in Mex
icoY The American robbers wanted to
rob them out of their rights, that was
the whole cause of the trouble. Ger
many today is fighting against the
money grabbers. England did more |
dirt to the United States than Germa-
ny has and nothing said, and why2 |
Because the money power in America !
and England hangs together, robbing |
labor out of everything it makes. when |
labor is entitled to what it produces.
Labor makes everything and capital
gets it at their own price, and then
labor has to buy it back at capitals |
prices.
Now, my fellow worker, l think it |
is time to wake up. Hang together
aud if capital gets in the rut, just let
them get out the best they can. Not |
grab your gun 80 help rob your fellow
worker
Can't you see bow quick things bad
to be settled to keep the railroads run
ming Simply because tbs union
would have paralyzed all capital and
they knew it, so they had to apply to
Uncle Sam to settle it. ! knew that
it would stop them. While some ar
gued they would strike, knew that
there were too many mlliouaires in
volvei in it that would lose money ev-
cry day. Now, if all unions were
consolidated and tie miners had asked
for 81 90 ton for digging coal, and
up, they would get it without any
trouble, but as long as capital can
keep the farmers union and the min
ers' union and all other unions separ-
ale, so that they are not under any OBJ
legation to each other, they can rule
and will rule AS to the almers, the
way they do their business is directly
against the man that works by days
work for living. You may want to
know why. I can tell you. The farm
ers sell their produce to the merchant,
and every thing he has to sell. His
cattle 90 to the speCulator and labor
has to pay more than the farmer got
for it when he sold it. | knew man
last summer who was in store when
the merchant bought some corn and
paid 9Oc per bushel in goods for the
corn. This man wanted soma corn, so
he said 20 the merchant, "what will
you sell me that corn at He said,
lone dollar, cash" "Why," the man
sai3, "you only paid 90o in goods.
''Well," he said, lyon cont under
stand, the merchant is organized, and
so is the farmer. and we pay him a
good price for what we buy and make
the other man pay it " Now, Mr..
Farmer, who IRE yOu throwing the
burden on, the rich or poor Some of
your lea ers may make you believe
you have got the suecuIatOr, but be
has got you, aud will hold you as long
as these two old parties lun the gov
ernment, bnt if we will ali come to-
gether as one bo1y and elsct IA social
lst president, and rs many a. we can
to make law, then we viii have as
good Il show as the rich for h. will
nave to work, or nOc have, only What |
