Thurber, Texas, Saturday, July 14, 1894.
When labor and capital fall out the demagogue gets in his
fine work.
This is surely an F. F. V. Administration. Fish, Fraud and
Vice being it's principal characteistics.
The great Pullman boycot of 1894 will go down in history as
the grand finale of misrule and inconsistency.
Organized labor is a good thing, but organized lawlessness will
never be tolerated in this or any other country.
The only difference between a Democrat and a sculptor is that
one is a "work-buster" and the other a "bust-worker."
The Cleveland wing of the- ex-Democracy is called the
"Chumpulist" party. It will be'the "Dumpedulist" party in
November.
Four more months and the people of this land will hand up
the verdict in the trial of Democracy for the murder of
American prosperity.
Senator Hill enjoys seeing the contortions of the anarchistic
Democracy as he smilingly drops cherry stones in the vermiform
appendix of the party.
If New York don't know what to do with her anarchists let
her send them down here. We can find use for them as game
preservers. The buzzards look so thin.
The Democratic party should be indicted and punished for
counterfeiting in having passed the Wilson bill on the public.
Passing a counterfeit is as much a crime as the manufacture of
counterfeit
We are happy to tell our readers that we have made arrange-
ments with the celebrated Mrs. J. Ellen Foster to write for us. As
a public speaker on the political and economic conditions of our
country, Mrs. Foster has no superior.
The passage of the Wilson bill will destroy the wool industry
in Texas completely, wreck every woolen factory, cut down wages
40 per cent, and extinguish the demand that American woolen
manufacturers have created for American woolens.
The Government revenues last year fell off $50.000 000, as
compared with the proceeding year, while Governmental ex-
penditures were reduced only $6,000,000. Fishing, rather than
finance, is the stronghold of the present Administration.
The noble, patriotic sentiments expressed by United States
Senator C. K. Davis of Minnesota, in his telegram to the
striking railway employes at Duluth, Minn., the full text of
which is given in another column of this issue of The Miner,
should be of inestimable benefit to the laboring men of this
country. Ignorance of law and Constitutional restrictions is the
great cause of internal industrial warfare.
We are coming mighty near the point where this Democratic
Administration has got to sell more bonds to the Wall street
shylocks or coin and pay out silver. They hate to do either,
but they are "between the devil and the deep sea."
The present Administration is achieving remarkable success
in arranging to have the laboring man so unoccupied that there
will be nothing to prevent his going to the polls next election
day. The way he will vote, however, is another question. We
know.
Events of the past sixteen months have shown to the people
that a conservative Republican policy which created a surplus
in the Treasury of $150,000,000, is not so much to be feared
as the destructive policy of the party which has created a defi-
ciency of over $78,000,000.
"David" Hill didn't kill *-Goliah" Cleveland with a single
stone this time, but the well-directed, powerful-hurled rock
knocked off several squares of GrOverian epidermis and left
running sores which will continue to fester in the broiling sun of
public indignation until 1896.
As suggestive and unpleasant as it is, nevertheless, it is a
fact that the first session of the United States Senate under
Democratic rule in thirty years is marked by such proceedings
that the integrity of the majority of that august body is an object
of public doubt and suspicion. ;
The wool growers of Texas recently declared that the enact-
ment of the Wilson bill would mean the ruiri of American wool
growers showed they fully understood the danger that menaced
the wool industry. The Texas wool growers are no doubt
mostly all Democrats, but they are not willing to see a great
Texas industry blotted out simply in order that Ohio, Nebraska
and other Northern states should suffer likewise.
LEGALIZED LAWLESSNESS.
THE striking railroad employes of Duluth, Minn., telegraphed
United States Senator C. K. Davis of Minnesota at Wash-
ington asking him to support a resolution introduced in the Sen-
ate by Senator Kyle providing that the detailing of Pullman
cars from a United States mail train should not be considered
interference with the mail.
Senator Davis telegraphed his answer as follows:
"I have received your telegram. I will not support Sen-
ator Kyle's resolution. It is against your own real wel-
fare. It is also a blow at the security, peace and
rights of millions of people who never harmed you or your asso-
ciates. My duty to the Constitution and the laws forbids me to
sustain a resolution to legalize lawlessness. The same duty
rests upon yourself and your associates. The power to regulate
commerce among the several States is vested by the Constitution
in Congress. Your associates have usurped that power by force
at Hammond and other places, and have destroyed commerce
.between the Spates in those particular . instances. You are rap-
idly approaching the overt act of levying war against the United
¡States, and you will find the definition of that act in the Consti-
tution. I trust that wiser thoughts will regain control. You
might as well ask me to vote to dissolve this government.
¡ "C. K; Davis.
It seems incredible that a body of men having any sens,e what-
ever should put themselves in a position where' such a stinging
;rebuke could be honestly administered. The strikes • have done
more than that. They have attempted to compelí railroad cor-
porations in this country to do acts that the,whole, forte.of the
