idual laborer, but-from every other In
dividual. "Belong to the trust, or obey
it," will be absolutely the oniy po'.'sibio
outcomo if the oncroacbmoiite of tbesn
rapacious monsters aro allowed to
on unresisted. In every village, cverv
town, ovcry city. oery Btat uo
American people are nr bicgered an:
insulted and robbed and oonresjui hv
the hundreds of monopolies ana trusts
that the individual cltisen 's reducrd to
a state of indignant but reAedilcas im
potence. Prom a republican nominee ono Uopp
not expect a grea. deal upon the labor
question; and would lo disappointed
if ho did expect II BH from a demo
cratic nominee ono naturally hopes
for a doliverance. Judge Parker's for
mal letter does not recognize that such
a thing as the tabor quart ion exists.
Ho offers no solution of the trouble;
and upon .the calm tide of his smooth
rhetoric there is no suggestion that
civil war smoulders in many a region
of our Christian republic, where cap
ital and labor have taken each other
by the throat. It is true that Judge
Parker thinks taat tariff and reform
would benefit the wago-earner. So it
would, if it were of the right sort. But
Cleveland, once upon a time, sounded
the slogan of "tariff reform" and, after
one defeat, was elected to do the work.
Arthur Gorman was the master-builder
who framed the measure which was
to lessen the burdens of the oppressed
and when Arthur Gorman got through
with the job the burdens of the op
pressed had merely been shifted from
one shoulder to the other. The great
warm-hearted senator from Missouri,
George G. VeSc, wanted coal put
upon the free list, in order that
cheaper fuel could be had by the peo
ple; Arthur Gorman opposed the meas
ure stubbornly in the senate. When
the sugar trust wanted a better rate
than the Dingley bill was about to give
them, S'enator Elkins brought Have
meyer and Gorman together in per
sonal conference; and the trust got
what Havemeyer came for.
And Arthur Gorman is Parker's
manager!
The "tariff reform" of the demo
cratic nominee must, therefore, be tak
en with care, and to the Parker letter
of acceptance should be attached the
Gorman tariff act of 1894 as "Exhibit
A," .and the speech of General Joe
Wheoler against that measure as "Ex
hibit B."
What Watson Would Do
If I were president, J would recog
nize that capital and labor have
reached a dangerous antagonism. My
utmost influence would be used to es
tablish a national bureau of arbitra
tion. I would ask combined capital
to choose one man; union labor to
choose another; and I would, myself,
as chief magistrate, chose a third.
Such a board ' of arbitration should
have jurisdiction over labor troubles,
an,d would become a power for good.
That something must be done, and
dono soon, should be clear to all. A
lew more Colorado situations would
precipitate the rule of the soldier, paid
by the corporation, or by the taxpayers
whose state officials are owned by cor
porations. Majority Rule
The people's party advocates the in
itiative, by means of which the peo
ple can originate and pass such laws
as they desire; the referendum, by
means of which they can veto such
legislation as they disapprove; and the
right to cancel the commission of such
public officials as have given dissatis
faction. One of the evils of the present sys
tem is that the people are not con
sulted when laws are to be made; they
only hear of the legislative acts after
they are published. Even fleet-footed
lawyers find it-difficult to keep pace
with the changed constantly being
raado in tho statutes.
The initiative and referendum would
correct most of that; and tho Impera
tive mandato and right of recall would
do a creat deal 'ownrrl imnnin miunn
officers faithful to trust. To cancel tho
commission of tho put-lie servant who
has been recreant tc duty In mild
enough punlshmont If such a power
uu uul given me peopio, then our stat
utes should mako the betrayal of pub
lic trust punishable with tho heaviest
penalties. Wo shoot tho private sol
dier who deserts to the onomy. Tho
extreme penalty is supposed to bo
necessary to deter othors from desert
ing. But when a Fenator or represen
tative or governor or judgo sells bis
vote, or his decision, to tho onomles
of tho people, in violation of solemn
pledges made to tho people who elected
him, is' his crlmo less gravo than that
of tho deserter who is shot?
Cleveland and Shlras 'Should Have Been
Impeached
If Cleveland had been impeached for
that mysterious bond deal, and Shlras
di-iobed for his flop on tho incomo tax
lascality in high places might havo
slackened lta gait and mended its
ways.
The people's party favors tho elec
tion of all officers by tho peopio. For
ono thing, this would bring the federal
judges to their senses, and take out of
their inflated souls tho idea that they
aro earthly editions of Jehovah, The
life-term in offico Is so undemocratic
and so inherently vicious that it is a
matter of astonishment that our fore
fathers established It. It is safe to say
that they failed to realize their peril.

of men, and warned tho people of the
