The great strike demonstrates more that ever the necessity of government ownership of the transportation systems. Let organized labor meet organized capital at the ballot box and the battle will be short and decisive, labor winning. Every county in Oregon that run a straight Populist ticket elected it. Every county that run a fusion ticket was defeated. Don’t lose sight of the fact that labor produces all wealth, and capital not one cent. Labor is entitlod to great consideration, while capital needs no encouragement. As a sophist, R. G. Horr, of the New York Tribune, takes the cake. No other editor in the United States can use false statements and half truths more skilfully than he. Any financial system that requires that money be borrowed in order to get it in circulation, takes the amount of interest off labor and gives it to him who does nothing.

Those who used to argue for ••a strong central government,” now tell Populists that that government is best which governs least, as that gives the greatest individual liberty. That is the Anarchist's platform to a dot.

The element bent on destruction of property during the st rike was not the strikers themselves, but the hoodlum element of society, mostly foreigners. Wholesome immigration laws ought to be one of the outcomes of the great strike.

The gold reserve is lower now than it was when the Sherman law was repealed, notwithstanding the fact that it was replenished by a loan of some fifty odd million dollars. If congress wants to stop the outflow of gold they can do it by repealing Sherman instead of his purchase law.

The Nonconformist gives tlie market price of the stock of the National banks of Washington city on Tuesday, July 2. The prices asked range from 330 down to 140. Yet the philanthropic gentlemen at the head of these institutions would make us believe that a national bank does not pay.

By the last census, workers in woolen factories get 21 per cent, of the value of the goods they produce. If a protective tariff is for the benefit of labor, why do they not get the full amount of the tariff which is about 80 per cent, average on woolens, and will be about 40 per cent, under the new law. The time was when the ills of “Baby Ruth” received attention from the public and press, but now the public has too many ills of their own, and from the same source, to puy any attention to "Baby Ruth.” In fact, they wish they had never heard of “Baby Ruth,” or her papa either.—Oklahoma (O. T.) Times Journal.

Din you ever stop to think that if there was an abundance of mon«y and nobody was in debt (a perfectly natural and feasible condition, let me assure you), that bankers would have no income at all? Do you not see that it is to the interest of these usurers to have people in debt so they can live off of them, just as much as it is the grocers’ that people get hungry? Bankers have engineered every law tc make money scarce, so their business would thrive. But don’t blame the bankers—it was all done by the votes of people too ignorant of politics to watch their own interests as the bankers watched theirs. Whv don’t you vote for von** Coming

The present railroad troubles are the best argument yet produced for government control or ownership. Reason is a better weapon than either the riot gun or the bayonet to settle any difficulty. At no time during the strike haye the Railway Union refused to arbitrate. But the thieves who have been looting honest labor of a just reward under cover of the law are the anarchists who refuse, and say we have nothing to arbitrate.

The People's party platform makes this demand: “We demand that a system of arbitration be established, whereby serious difficulties between employers and employes may be speedily and impartially adjusted, before either resort to measures detrimental to one and to both.” This demand coined into law and peace in the future is fully guaranteed.

A (jreat deal is being said and written just now about the corruption brought to light in the investigation of the New York police force, as if it was something quite out of the ordin ary. Yet, the same conditions could be found to exist wherever the spoils system prevails if an honest investigation could be made. Correct the system of appointment and such evils will not exist.

The New York Tribune concedes the election of Coxey in McKinley's old district, and then proceeds to belabor the whole state in advance for permitting such a thing to come to pass. Mr. Coxey may or may not be the best man for the place, but the people always sympathize with the under dog in the fight when they can see him, and they propose to see Coxey walk on the grass, and not be arrested either.

If the $500,000,000 dollars of bonds asked for by the National Banker’s Association were issued, they could not be sold above par. Then the banker could buy a SIOO bond for SIOO, on which he would draw $3 interest. He would also get S9O in bank notes which he would loan at the usual rates, leaving, practically, $lO invested in the bond. Thus a $lO investment pays a $3 dividend. Best system on earth for the bankers.

FROM WASHINGTON.

An Interesting Batch of \cw« From the Capitol. From our Regular Correspondent. Washington, July 13, 1894. Three members of the Executive Committee of the Kaights of Labor— J. W. Hayes, T, B. McGuire and C. A. French have been here for several days trying to get the bill introduced by Senator George passed, and looking into the beginning of impeachment proceedings against Attorney General Olney, which labor leaders have been discussing for some time. The bill of Senator George’s is an amendment to the arbitration act of 1888, under which Mr. McGuire claims that President Cleveland has ample authority to compel the Pullman company to submit the questions which caused the stiike to arbitration, providing that railroad corporations which refuse to arbitrate when requested by their employes to do so, shall not be granted injunctions against its striking employe or be given any other protection by U. S. Courts. The fact that the Senate refused by a vote of 35 to 11 to add an amendment declaring in favor of arbitration to the resolution which it adopted without a division endorsing the policy of the administration in using troops to put down disorder and to force the moving of the mails does not make the outlook for the passage of the George bill very promising. • • • Out of all the numerous bills, resolutions, etc., introducing in Congi’ess on account of the strike, the only one that looks like it is going through is the resolution reported from the House committee on interstate commerce providing for a thorough investigation by that committee, not only of the Pullman strike but of all of those which have followed it that affect in any way interstate commerce. The idea seems to be to let the other bills and resolutions rest until the investigation is made and a report submitted to Congress.

Senator Morgan, Chairman on Foreign Relations, and as such in charge of the Chinese treaty, obtained an indefinite leave of absence this week and is not expected to resume his duties during the present session. This indicates that no action is to be taken on the treaty at this session and tends to confirm a currant rumor, that the administration had asked that the treaty be not called up again at this session, because being opposed by the labor organizations its ratification at this time would add to the prevailing discontent.

The report prepared by representative Powers, of Vermont, in favor of his bill to repeal the law docking salaries of Congressmen for absence without leave, except on account of sickness, is inclined to be humorous in parts, but it contains no compliments for members of the House, who, it says, evade the law by every subterfuge, but principally by falsely reporting sickness of themselves or their families. The house may repeal this law to save Congressmen the degradation of lying to keep their salaries from being docked, but it would be more in keeping with common sense for the people to elect men to the House who would attend the sessions of the House and have no occassion to lie in order to save their pay. • • • Notwithstanding the excitement, which has at times been intense, over the strike news, there has been the greatest interest displayed in the daily meetings of the conference committee charged with the important duty of smoothing out the radical differences on the tariff bill between the Senate

and the House. While Ido not state it as an assured fact, there are numerous indications that the Senators headed by Gorman and Brice, who compelled the democrats of the Senate to accept the ammendments to the bill which were dictated by them, will by the same tactics compel the House to concur in the most important of those amendments. I understand that a proposition has been made, although not yet agreed to by the conference, to put both sides to the test by reporting an agreement that will strike out the iron, coal, sugar and other important Senate amendments, in order to see whether the Senators who favor those amendments will carry out their threats by voting to reject the conference report and ordering the Senate confeers to stand out for those amendments. If they do the Senate will have its way, or, there will be no tariff bill. If it comes to that there is little doubt as to how the House will decide.
