Some Remarks.

“There is too muc freedom in this country rather than too little.”—lndianapolis Journal (Rep.) “If the workingmen had no vote they might be made more ameanable to the hard times.” — Indianapolis News (Dem.) “The time is near at hand when the banks will be compelled to act strongly. No act of congress can overcome their decisions.” —New York Tribune (Rep.) “The battle with socialism will be brief, but it will be hot.” —Rev. Dr. Hitchcock. “I say, come on with your schemes of cuxiscation, and forced loans, and graduated income taxes, and irredeemable currency under universal sufferage, and to you who are sufficiently’ frank in proclaiming the doctrine of your ringleaders, then under military’ necessity, and even here in the United States, we must get rid of universal sufferage, and we shall. Rather than allow these things, we will have one of the fiercest civil wars.” —Rev. Joseph Cook of Boston.

“The people be damned.”— j Vanderbilt. Scribner's Monthly said of the j man who is compelled to travel in search of work: “He has no rights but those -which society may see fit to bestow. He lias no more rights than the sow that wollows in the gutter or the lost dogs that hover around the city squares.” “There seems to be but one remedy, and it must come a change of ownership of the soil and the creation of a class of land owners on one hand and of tenant farmers on the other - something similar to wha»t lias existed in the older countries of Europe.” N. Y. Times. “The capitalists have bought and are buying largely the associated press, and are contreli.ng all the avenues of intelligence.”—Wm. Windom. “Bread and water are good enough sot the laboring man.” Henry Ward Beecher. “We need a stronger government. The wealth of the country demands protection. Its rights are as sacred as the rights of. the .paupers who are continually’prating of the encroachments of capital. Without blood, and rivers of it, there will be no political change of administration. To avert fearful bloodshed a strong central government should be established as soon, as possible. - Senator Sharon. “The capital of this country is organized at last.”—N. Y. Tribune.

“The old English system, of imprisonment for debt would be preferable to our present bankrupt law." —Chicago Times. “The best meal to give a regular tramp is a leaden one.”—N. Y. Herald. Hand grenades should be thrown among those who are striving to obtain higher wages, as by such treatment they would be taught a valuable lesson, and other strikers would take warning by their fate.—Chicago Times. “Give them a rifle diet for a few days,>amd see how they like that kind of bread.—Tom Scoot, railroad king. The simplest plan, probably, when one is not a member of the Humane Society, is to put a little’ strichnine or arsenic in the meat and other supplies furnished tramps.—Chicago Tribune.
