An Atrocious Sentiment-
Six years ago, in a conversation with
Hon. Orange Noble, Congressman Will
iam L. Scott, the noted Democratic free
trader, in speaking of the labor troubles
ef that time, said: "We can never con
trol the workingman until he eats up to
day what he earns to morrow." Scott
carries thjs atrocious idea into practical
effect in his coal miue. He pays lower
wages than anybody else, and, so far as
he can do so, keeps them from earning
enough to lay by for a rainy day.
No wander he is a free trader. That
policy will cut wages down, glut the la
bor market with unemployed pien, and
tend to reduce our laboring population
to tne condition or. serfs. Scott is a lead
er in national Democratic politics, and is
devoting himself, heart and soul, to the
endeavor to hoodwink the people into
voting for Cleyeland and his free trade
idea?, in the hope that through the for
cing of a fi-eairade policy upon the
country he will realize his'reiark fif fix
years ago, and be able to 'control the
workingman'' by making it a necessity
for him "to eat up to-day what he earns
to-morrow." Blade.
Scott is the railroad millionaire who
handled the St. Louis convention the
right bower of Cleveland and the man
who more than any other one man dicta
ted the platform of the democratic party
A."i 41 1
ior ioco. uan any worKjngmap, any
wage earner, follow such leaders as this
We believe not. The man or set of men
who advocate free trade and say "that
they can s;pver control the workingmen
unless they have the:n in debt todav for
what they will earn toinorrosr," sre not
pt to be trusted with the management ol
any of the affairs of the great wage-earn
ing people.

Having this day sold my stock

to "Messrs. Brekenteld &. AVeid
maii, I would respectfully and ear
nestly ask that all those in inj debt
come forward promptly and settle

en me during the time I have been
