THE AXLIANCK-INDKPENDENT. MAY 25. 1893. ' DGESAMflE PEOPLE . Jaasoni Wty Thej Dacids in Ftror of Corporations- THE BIOH HAVE ALWAYS RULED tha Poor, and by Precedent 8hould Co tinu to Do So Judges Coma Mostly From the Aristo cratic Classes. The recant conduct of the United States Judge In the Ann Arbor ewe was not un expected. Tboae who expect the courta of law to Interpret the lair In fivorof the people, rathar than In favor of the plutocrat, are greatly mistaken. And thla need surprise no one It has always x been so, and arises from perfectly natural causes. Judges must neceasanly come from the ranks of the lawyers. Their professional training makes them par- tlcularly careful of technicalities, and plutocrats hold their power mainly by legal technicalities. It. Is always the letter of the " law, and not the "spirit which glreth life," on which Judicial wrongs are based. Besides, a Judge is always on the tide ot "precedent," and it has al ways been the precedent so fsr that the rich have ruled the poor, and In the Judicial eye they will always do so, for precedent must be fol lowed. A lawyer once told me that he oarer expected a Judge to decide accord ing to the equity of the cae or Incline to poor plaiotlff,not because the Judge waa unfair but because ha waa a Judye. lath last days of John Adums' ad ninlatratlon,when the aristocratic federal- 1 pta were endeavoring to check tba rising power of the party of the people, the 're publicans," they found no better assist ante than the Judges of the courts', es pecially of the United States circuit. The outrageous alien and sedition laws were not enough, but some of the Judges like old Samuel Chase of Maryland, not only used the full Influence of tbelr posi tion to down their opponents, but made their charges to the Juries regular political . harangues like that of Judge Paxson in the Homestead Indictments for treason. ' Let me add a couple of extracts from Bchouler's history oj the United States concerning Chase's famous circuit In 1800; . Tyres, on a second trial for treason Was most severely dealt with by the courti and Cbase having so browbeaten the prisoner's counsel that they withdrew from the case, procured a verJlct of guilty, which, upon the courta view of , treason as distinguished from a riot, was perhaps inevitable," "Passing from Pennsylvania to Virginia Judge Chase at Richmond procured by harsh means tbe Indictment of Callender, who now resides here, for certain pas asges which appeared in his electioneer- , Ing pamphlet, known as the 'Prospect Be- fore Us.' Chase at this trial was as domi neering as before, ao that Calender's counsel threw over their briefs, ft those of Fries' had done, and walked out Of ccurt, Callender, being fouod guilty .was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment, a fine of $200, and to give securities for good behavior." And bo it went on. High carnival of Justice on tbe bench, Just as it is today But it is well to remember that Chase's famous circuit and those of other domi neering Judges did more to elect Jeffer son and place the party of the people in power than any thing else. It was an ob ject lesson not to be overlooked. And so It Is now. Every judicial outrage in favor of the plutocratic roasters of our courts Is only another nail in tbe coffin of the pre aent sytem. And be sure that when tbe coffin Is done the corpse will be ready. 1 Wm.Schcylkr, St. Louis, Mo. , Queer Kind of Progress.

The people's party state convention oi Pennsylvania has Issued a call for i state convention to meet at Williams DorL June 14. It is signed by R. A Thompson chairman, and F. B. Agnew secretary. The following Is an extract from the call: "We believe the condition of our country demands prompt ana earnest action on the part of the common peo ple.

Admires Calamity Ilowlera. Senator Teller said in a speech in the senate lsst winter: "Thank God that the people have the courage to complain. I shall be sorry for tha Americans If the time shall ever come that party organizations and party lines shall bold men to principles which they despise and which they detest. When they become satisfied that the policy of any party is inimical to their late rest, I glory in their cour- age when they areas: away from their old party associations and take a stand which they think will bring credit to tbem and prosperity to the whole na tion." RANDOM SHOTS. The debtor Is a slave to the extent of his indebtedness. The republican party has gone Into the dry dock for repairs. If 4 ou want to be "skinned" finan cially, go to the World's Fair. Katie and the babies constitute the best platform ever constructed. Private ownership of public utilities means public plunder for personal profit There ought to be a home for fallen men. It would save lots or women Irem "ailing." " Cleveland weighs over 300 pounds, but it's not all brains. Most of it Is Orover. G rover Cleveland Is certainly the "sacred white elephant" of the demo cratic party. When the people begin to think, plu tocrats, tyrants and political bosses be gin to tremble. One vote is better than a thousand resolutions and a bushel of talk. Na tional Reformer. - . A crank is a man with a new idea. It may be good or bad, but - we should be willing to know. The reformer that looks behind him ought to be turned Into a pillar of salt tbat is, salted. - Saould the farmer meddle in poli tical-" "Yes; unless he prefers to floun der in the soup4' , The leaders ot the democratic and republican parties can easily sleep in the same political bed. Every attempt to control the rail roads hag been a failure. The railroads are doing the controlling. Yes, the people of this country owe the bankers a great debt but it is in money and not gratitude. If the old party papers told the truth there would be nothing left of the parties but the office hungers Tbe day of sentimental politics 1b passed. Honest government and justice to all is tne politics oi tne mture. Those fellows who talked reform and voted for Cleveland ought to form a partnership with sheep-killing dogs. . The best way to combat sin la to attack and remove the cause. Poverty is the most prolific breeder of crime. Why don't the church fight usury and extortion the great sins of the age? Is it, too, muzzled by the money power? Talk is the cheapest kind oi patriot- Ism and devotloa. Don't measure a man by his talk. The question is, what is he doing'! A cloak which sells tor f'JQ in London shops Is sewed by women who receive 2 cent per cloak for their labor, The facts came out In in a police court, where a woman who had tewed 137 t loaks sued the cloakmaker for her wages, amount ing to $2 51. The cloakmaker wanted a reduction in the price, to which she re fund to content. Use Northwestern line to Chloaaro Wiw rates. Fast trains. Office 113? OSL Ore j Vine.

Of 104 strikes in Austra In 1891, ten were successful, twenty-nine were partly successful, and fifty-six were failures. About 14,000 people Involved In these strikes have lost 247,000 workdays. During the same year there were 1,145 strikes In England and 1,131 In Ger many. Boodllng tbe Almighty. Carnegie cut the pay of his wage slaves in his Braddock mills, and then quieted the lips of those who should testify to the world against him b? presenting tbe Braddock church with a magnificent organ. Mankato Advo cate. Calamity Howlers. The cause of every depression is money famine and nothing else. John A. Logan. Whoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all Industry and commerce, James A. Garfield. " . Liberty cannot long endure in any country where the tendency of legisla tion is to concentrate wealth' in the hands of a few. Daniel Webster. That prices will fall or rise as the volume of money be . increased or di minished is a law that is as unalterable as any law of nature.-Professor Walker. If the whole volume of money in circulation was doubled prices would double. If it was Increased one-fourth prices would rise one-fourth. John S.uart Mill. A decreasing volume of money and falling prices have been and are now more fruitful of human misery than war, pestilence and famine. They nave wrought more injustice than all the bad las ever enacted. United States Money Commission. If a government contracted aaotwltn a certain amount of money in circula tlon and then contracted the money volume before tbe debt was paid, it is tbe most heinlous crime a government could commit against the people. Abranam .Lincoln. I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous te our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised up a money aristocracy that ha set the government at defiance. The issuing power should be taken from tne banks and restored to the government and the people to whom it properly be longs. Liet tbe banksexUt, but let them bank on coin or treasury notes.-Thomas Jefferson. Tbe government ought not to dele- gale this power (of isulng money) if it could. 1 1 is too grdat power to be trust ed to any banking business whatever. i Be people are not sais when such a company has such a power. The temp tation is too great, th opportunity too easy, to put up and put down prices, to bring the whole community on its knees to thee Neptunes, who preside over the flux and reflux of paper money.
