To this the scab Los Angeles Times objects. because it “ would set up an intolerable- and inquisitorial bureau of publicity, needlessly and wrongfully dragging ber fore the public gaze'alfairs of business which are necessarily and rightfully of a private nature.” It would be awful to have the public understand the many secret and unlawful combinations and conspiracies against the public weal l It would be dangerous to have the people understand the degree of robbery that is practised on them. Men who do business on a scale that thay are afraid to have their patrons know all about are not honest. and the laws should protect honest business. 'l‘hieves’ and robbers" business are “ necessarily private,” hon- est men, never! Only dishonest methods and acts fear the public gaze. The Appeal does not favor that kind of ar- bitration.

From one shore of the country to the other come the some reports of diminished. movements of merchandise and apathy in trade. This drooping condition can no longer be charged to unfavorable weather or labor troubles, for both these adverse factors are less pronounced than they were three weeks back.

The Socialist looks with compla- v. cency on the game, as he sees the flies two farmers settled on land in that state and made their homes on it. improving it for years. A cattle company, wanting this land. had the government declare ill swamp land, and they then went to the state officials and bought the land as swamp land, though the land was not. swamp land. The evidence shows be- yond question that the land is dry; but the authorities, that always favor the rich, declare that the land is swamp, and that the settlers must lose all their improvements and labor, and must get out, so that an English company may possess themselves of the land. The Daily Oregonian says: “ Public sympa- thy and common justice are on the side of the settlers. whom the Warner Stock company are trying to «lispossess of land long occupied as homesteads, and im- proved and lived upon as such. But what of that? What good is a justice and equity that cannot operate? What good is the cry of oppression that money paid to thieving officials can stifle? but by the gradual squeezing out of trade ofla large number of middle class and even larger capitalists: The fail-' ures of late have been among men who were reputed as millionaires. The banks are holding a good band, and, are coufis eating the property of the weakerspec- ulators, and are doing it so slick that they are not arousing the victims to their wide-spread game of robbery. The wise man will prefer_to have his hold- ings in ready cash cow ; but, as few are wise, they will be victims of the spider’s game of the very rich. A few thousand families are rapidly getting control of the entire wealth of the nation. But when they do it, they will be creating mental conditions that will overthrow their little game; for when the many see that. they are hopeless, they will turn to the only remedy left themâ€"So- cialism‘j‘ And then the reign of the rich will end and the reign of the people be- l‘his is a glorious countryâ€"for corpora- tions; but how about the common citi- zens ?

" 'o-oo John Wesley. __â€"- John Wesley, the “ Father of Meth- odism,” has just had his 200th anniverâ€" sary celebrated by his followers. Speak- ing of the rich in his time, Wesley said: ” It is an observation which admits of few exceptions, that nine in ten of these decreased in grace in the same proportion as they increased in wealth. Indeed, according to the natural tend- ency of riches, we cannot expect it to be otherwise. I doubt whether it is not a great sin to keep them in our society. May it not. hurt their souls to encourage them to persevere in walking contrary to the Bible? Iam distressed.” And people actually believe they are Methodists and followers of Wesley 1 What dupes or knaves. For instance, Bishop 'MeCabc, at a "banquet" at Kansas City last spring, said: “All these tirarles against wealth ought to stop. Not a line should appear in the newspapers against the rich. There is an absolute necessity for rich men. The 5-9 Your Children. v I Your children were brought into the world just as the children of the rich; they are of the same flesh and blood; they are entitled to as much of the good things of life as other children.

You know, or ought to know by past experience, that they never can have while present con.- ditions continue.
