Hon. THEODORE ToMLINsoN:-

Tender Club with notices that would be used at the
meeting to be held at Cooper Institute, and desire
that would be eectual appeals to all classes
cicy Ts true that you or your class do not deserve
aid advice from the working class for when the
money monoposts commenced this contraction of the
currency and the worngmen the first to feel the pres
from want of employment and lack reserve capt.


tai to exist in ideness rebeed against it and tried by
means of strikes for shorter hours and living wages
to retain the status and advantages had given
them, your class, the socaled of brains united
with the monopolists to crush us. You have
done so; but you did not realize your
dependence upon us, you could not SEQ
that you lived by speculating upon our labor wo
were your slaves who produced for your benefit the
milk cows who gave you milk, that five non-producers
lived upon one worker, and the dleuess of one million
workers meant the idleness and bankruptcy of all the
spectators who lived by supplying them with their
own products. But class like woman has grown
magnanimous by ages of use to oppression; we know,
also, that the interests Of all mutual and inter-
changeabe, and that must all rise fall together
and we will strive to forget If not forgive.

ability and submit for your approval the following mot
