People's Pilot, Volume 4, Number 34, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 16 February 1895 — That Labor Bill. [ARTICLE]

That Labor Bill.

The Pilot is in receipt of House Bill No. 353, designed to create an arbitration commission which shall settle labor difficulties. The bill is a farce; it gives the commission power to act only when both parties so desire. The place to settle disputes be tween labor and capital is in our regular courts by a jury of twelve good men, whose decisions shall be based on common sense justice, backed by a common sense statute. That’s all the commission labor needs. The grandeur of Rome w*as builded upon $2,000,000,000 of fiat money; it made the mistake of destroying it and destroyed itself. It attempted to use gold and silver, one-tenth the volume, and history tells the story of pauperism of the masses and aggregation of wealth by the classes. The People’s Pilot and Vincent’s Searjhlight both one year for $1.50, regular rates $2.00. Tom Watson’s paper and the Pilot, both one year, for $1.50,

The national farce. Choke the bankers off. More bondsareebming; Another iaaueof bonds~lsinevitable. The people must govern themselves. Prosperity will please hollow if she Is lost. The gold reserve is still going to Europe. 1 "-I 1 The banker's prosperity is the people’s poverty. The money power has openly assumed the position of dictator. Concentrate your fire on the bankers for a few weeks, and they will be routed. “Senatorial courtesy” is getting down to a ’parity” with congressional cussedness. The democratic congressmen seem to have a “lack of confidence" In their deity—Qrover. Senator Stewart says there has been bank rule In every administration for twenty years. Oh, would that President Cleveland might follow the example of the French president How could you expect anything but a deficit with a deficiency of braLis and patriotism in Congress. King Grover thinks of sending John Sherman to lead the democratic party through the republican jungle. Suppose a Populist had talked in congress as did Mr. Sibley—that would be called raving lunacy and wildest anarchy. , It is thought”that - the democratic party will abandon the search for prosperity—since they cannot find even a clue to her mysterious disappearance. British holders of Union Pacific railroad bonds have a lobbyist at Washington, to work for protection of British interests Involved. There it is, in broad daylight. Can you see?

The reform papers tumbled at once to the pretended fight between Carlisle and the bankers. They unanimously proclaimed it a farce. There are sentinels on the watch towers of liberty. Any representative who works for the retirement of the greenbacks is a traitor to hie country and his district. Hit him a jolt with your ballot when yeu get another chance at him. In view of their previous argument that there was plenty of money in the country it is hard to understand what excuse the administration finds for its proposed inflation scheme. The democratic members of the llwer house of congress celebrated Jackson’s Day (Jan. 8) by indorsing Carlisle’s bilL Pretty tough on the memory of Old Hickory, who made such a strong fight against and finally crushed the life out of the did United States bank. —Omaha World. The great international standing joke of the century is the German emperor, who wants to have members of the reichstag (congress) imprisoned for not applauding his speeches. He is a chestnut colored ass, of the same breed as some so-called American “statesmen" who prate about dignity and time-honored precedents. Representative Bryan of Nebraska has Introduced a bill in congress which provides that any person presenting to the treasury greenbacks or treasury notes and demanding their redemption in gold, for the purpose of embarrassing the government, Injuring the credit, or compelling or securing an issue of bonds, shall be guilty of a crime, and upon conviction shall be punished by Imprisonment for a term of not less than five years. The department store is beginning to crush the small merchants of the cities —and the little fellows are howling. There is nothing like an abject lesson to bring merchants to their senses. Let the wheels go on.

The editor of this paper has been invited to the annual banquet to be given by the Omaha Jacksonian Club on Saint Jackson’s day, Jan. 8. Perhaps a poor country editor ought to feel complimented by such a call, but this one doesn’t. Fact is, he feels himself too good a democrat to break bread with the Mortons, McShanes, Martins, Paxtons, Whites and their ilk —men who worship the Wall street golden calf in the morning, and vote the railroad republican ticket in the evening of an evil-doing day.—Papillion (Neb.)
