PLUTOCRACY'S PRESS SUCH IS THE SO CALLED GREAT NEWSPAPER OF AMERICA. The ICoatliuK Public Misled on Labor Matters—How a Prejudiced Public Sen timent Is Manufactured—Patting One Organization on the Hack. Will tlie time ever come when the people will understand that the daily press of this country is controlled by plutocracy, and that it deliberately strives at every opportunity to deceive and befuddle the minds of those who want to know the truth? In no other country under the heavens is the press so completely in the power of the rich as in America. Nowhere else is intel lect as represented by editors so thor oughly prostituted by the influence of riches and power. In Great Britain and 011 the continent the common people are treated with respect by the leading newspapers, and the cause of labor is fairly placed before the reading public. But here, with rare exceptions—excep tions most of which hold usually only temporary sway—the conditions of the working people are misrepresented, their aims distorted and their leaders lied about. The truth is either suppressed or mangled when it would show em ployers and the plutocratic system up in an unfavorable light. The declarations and demands of organized labor are ridiculed, men and women who have the honesty and courage to speak in their defense are characterized as dema gogues, and labor officials are denounced as anarchists or political shysters. The exceptions to this charge the read er may find for himself. But my knowl edge of the press of the country (and my resources are rather large) does not allow me to admit that there are half a dozen prosperous daily papers in the United States that have for five years consist ently taken an unbiased position on labor affairs. I will agree that sometimes one of these enemies will speak up in defense of labor; but when it does there is usu ally a political or selfish motive behind it. Such defense is worse than opposi tion, for it deludes the people. Few readers, when not directly concerned, have "the penetrating eye" to see through the hypocrisy. They see only the praise of "honest labor," and are deceived into the belief that "here is a paper that is fair." This occasional piece of deception makes it easy for the "fair" paper to stuff lies concerning labor down its read ers' throats for the rest of the year. Who that comes in contact with the great "middle class" has failed to witness the proof of this statement? Every day I meet business men who say, "The strikers did so and so; the walking delegate brought this trouble on because of a grudge he had against the boss," and similar remarks preju dicial to labor's side in some affair then on hand. I tell him lie is in error, and attempt to explain matters, but he either refuses to listen to me or says, "Oh, you are an anarchist, too, are you?" He has read the lie in his daily paper, and he refuses to admit thut any one can know as much about the subject as his favorite editor. It is the same way about an idea in economics. How can a man who has never gotten beyond a salaried position know as much about such questions as the great editor or the "successful busi ness man?" The ignorance of the aver ago newspaper reader is only equaled by the arrogance and unfairness of its editor. A majority of the daily press scoffs at any and all proposals for a settlement of tho labor question. Some of them go so far as to say there is no labor problem. When an affair like that at Homestead forces their attention they say there is no labor question involved; it is only anarchy versus law and order. Those "great editors" who admit that there is something wrong with our labor system look no further than trades union "tyr anny anil lawlessness" or the "bulldoz ing methods of the walking delegate" for the cause. They refuse to acknowledge that there is a great underlying cause. And when some one who has given the subject investigation and thought puts forward an idea looking toward an im provement in the situation he is scoffed at as a quack. I want to ask the un thinking readers of the plutocratic pros if they have found that their editors, who are so ready to denounce and ridi cule tho propositions of students of eco nomics anil sociology, offer anything be sides a continuance of present condi tions as a remedy for tlie ills of man kind? Can you think it possible that these intellectual giants, these men to whom you give tlie palm as the corner ers of all knowledge, are so little ac quainted with this subject as not to be able to fully settle it for all time? Have you mistaken tinsel for gold? If you, my "middle class" friend, who think that tho paper in which you place such trust is disposed to be fair to the workingman will put it to tho test you will discover your error. Just go to some striker—not a walking delegate— and after satisfying yourself that lie thinks ho is right get his side of tho story. Write it up in as favorable a light as the bosses' side has been written in your paper, and take it into tho editor with tho request that he give it a fair show In his columns without discount ing it editorially. If he doesn't throw you into the street go home anil quietly wait for the paper. If you are a reader of any one of the 200 or more plutocratic dailies that I keep an eye on, you will soon discover what a fool you have been. But you remind me that the daily press of tho country is almost unanimous in praise of one labor organization—tho Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. Yes, that's so—at present. But did you read what it said (luring tho Burlington strike of engineers a few years ago, or during the Michigan Southern, the Can ada Southern and other strikes a little further back? Oh, you had forgotten that! Well, if you do not change your mind before then 1 ready to read what is said when tlie engineers strike again, for it is not possible that they will be allowed to uphold their rights if ever the railroad barons get into position to fight them. I admit that the danger of such a strike is remote, for the managers of the railways understand that then strongest weapon against all other em ployees is their friendly relation with the engineers. That is why they are so Btuck on P. M. Arthur. Right here I want to say that the pros put strength of tho engineers is entirely due to their early observance of the prin ciples which are the foundation of all trades unions. They were organized on I offensive and defensive principles, and i up to ten years ago they engaged in j more strikes than any other labor organ ! ization in tlie country. Their present I powerful position lias been attained through warfare such as the Home steaders and the Buffalo switchmen are I denounced for waging. They have in their history a long list of defeats, of j wrecked enghies and persecuted leaders. They have had their O'Donnells and their Sweeneys, and the plaudits of ! plutocracy which tickle Chief Arthur's ; tympanum jangle and aro out of tunc ; with the lamentations of the champions of human rights whose heroic defeat ' made subsequent success possible. ! No; the supposed respect of the pros | fur the Brotherhood of Engineers is not I j because its demands are recognized as any more justifiable than those of other J branches of labor. Nothing succeeds j like success with tins plutocratic press. J and the engineers have been very sue- ! cessful of lato years. That this success I has been increased by tho sagacity of j the railroad kings who have used one organization to whip others does not lessen tho admiration of the capitalistic editor. It rather makes him feel like he I lis praising a colaborer. His master and I Arthur's cracks the same whip. For fear I may be misunderstood let me repeat what I have often said before: The rank and file of the Brother! ood of | Locomotive Engineers is not in sym- j patliy with tho mawkish sentiment ! which is laid at the feet of Arthur. Many of the men who pull the throttle remember the old days of struggle when their organization was almost constantly in the throes of battle with tho barons, I and when they were glad to bo recog nized as a part of the great army of la bor. These true old knights of the foot- | board blush when they are spoken of as s "superior men," the aristocrats of la bor, etc. They know that when trouble comes to them as a union tliey will have i to fight without the support of tie -lu- i tocratic press and that jack-o'-lantern of the editor, "public sentiment." Jos. It. Bit HAINAN*. Labor Here and in England. "I believe we are much nearer a >lu tion of tho labor problem in England than you are in this country," said R. \V. Donald, of London, England, to the Chicago Inter Ocean. Mr. Donald has made a study of tho labor question in Great Britain, and through his writings in the press lias come to be regarded as an authority whose opinion is worthy i of consideration. "I have been in this ' country during three great disturbances which have aroused so much attention throughout the country, and I U Jicvo we have not had anything of the kind on the other side of the Atlantic since the Chartist agitation. We have our labor disputes of course, but they are rapidly settled, and, generally speaking, settled with satisfaction to the men. Moreover, the labor element is gradu ally gaining power, and before many years have passed tin re will lie a popu lar labor party in the British parlia ment. To my mind tlie chief reason for the contrast between tho condition of things here and in our country lies in tho fact that with us tho sympathy of the public is at once aroused and plays its part in the conflict between the dis putants, while with you each party is allowed to fight its own battle. More over, we have no armed police force or ganized by a corporation, and the troops of the country are not called out with -1 out very grave reason. Probably these recent conflicts aro but incidents to a change in tho economic conditions of. the country." Prove It.

"1 once had a stranger catch j than that. I was whipping a stream in New Hampshire for mountain trout when I landed a creature half man and half eel. Its head, neck and breast were perfect, barring hair, of which it had none. It might, however, have been a patron of the submarine ballet. Its fingers were webbed, and fr< mi the waist down it was a slimy, wriggling eel. The eyes i were black as sloes and had a vicious look. The creature was perhaps four teen inches in length and as hard to hold as a 10-pound trout. I put it in my pail, and it at once began a war of fetermina tion on the other inhabitants, killing them all in a very few minutes. Then it began to chafe at its confinement, striking and biting at the sides of the pail. It kept this up for several hours and then floated to the top of the water | dead."—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
