mm EQUAL RIGHTS TO ALLi; SPECIAL PRIVTLGES TO NONE.' i Vol. FAYETTE VILLE, N. C, APRIIii 1888. OFFICIAL ORGAN OF NOUTjU CAROLINA KXIGItS OF LABOR. FOLLOW IIS G SUIT. An item is soing the rounds of the press of an Ohio woman j who some weeks ago sM sever! rolls of very fine looking butter to a grocr and git a xrv goo 1 price for thrn; b it when the b-itter was cut into it dclobed'the fact tint the butter was n inch or two thick on the ontsid, th interior pf each roll be'.ng composed of ma-hi d potatoes. , ;Soie comments sem to indicate that the dairy woman wss ra'her dishonest; but the fact is that sh3 was only kepp n up with the logic ot th tirms as retrar Is the selling so no other things for what tny are not. Sh had pr b ab'y HPHn the arguments that cotton fcCji oH is as who'eom as lar; h "! oVora irjjarine is mor wbo!esom thn bfittnt; hui pure milk is to strong for Higestionj-and her application was be yond question legitimate. She knew that mashed potatoes are more digestive than butter; and seeing that eminent millionaires arw by that plt-a justified in palming oif cheaper products as the more expensive ones, sh adopted tbe only moerial conven ient for, to carry out t'ie s imp policy AVhilo her premises may be futy, it i- rather difficult to gee at what other point her drdietion is incorrect. II-r syllogism aid art. of mixing were .both at fault. Had sliebrn morvskil! ful in mixing her adu'ter itioti vvith the genuine article and dignisi thewlio'e by ju iiiou? c Murine, sae might 1 ave Fuceeeded better. However, fo long as it is n l eter than cmnrm jlug cheat ing for the kings of commerce to palm oii cotton sed oil and rhnealv purgad tallow as lard, an i bull bu'ter a- tbe genuine product of th cow, thre no reasoa why, the farmers' wives should not get their share of tli rake by suc!' means as the representative or the c!a?s adopted. Topeka Fost. NOT ANTAGONISTIC TO SOCIETY. . The labor party is not an'aoronistic to the well beine of societ y. Its aim is not only to ameliorate the condition of wage-workers, but to secure society at large from evils which threaten it through the greed of tM-nopolistg. Things are in a bad state. - No onede nies this fact. They are bad for many besides the laboring classes. There is a world wide feeling of uncertainty with regard to the outcome of a condition that is making enemies of capital and labor. In the natural social eolution the labor party has been created. It has a grand purpose. The purpose is making itself everywhere. It may be subject to eiHc'sm; whit party with reformatory ideas ever escaped criti cism? But its tins are light. It is re ceiving the support of rightmioded men throughout the country. Its destiny is determined. It will dissolve the obi pnrtics in lime, and evolve from healthy living issues a new party, or new parties that shall bo based on the ideas of a government cf the people, by the people and for the people. Milwaukee Jabor Review. TRAITORS AT HEART. One of tbe greatest evils to couten with in organizing labor is the necessity for taking in those whom yon ku uv to be traitors at heart, and who join the or caniijzation, not because tbf-y have anv love for the principles it advocates, or aDy df-sire to elevate their i'el!oV-njeo, above the standard of a slave, but sim ply because of their own seirislns'. If they can secure better wag s and fhorte- hours through the organization without any effort on their part wel and i?ood. Thev are willing to cc"pt the ad vantages just so long as they eo-ujn th tiig they are not compelled to niak? any sacrifice to obtain them. They are will iog to pay their fifty cmts a month s 'on r as it means an increase of twenty five cents a day in their wages. They are perfectly willing to arc-pt this in crease just as long as the firm is w ill in u to pay it, but wLen the time at rived, as it sometimes does, Ihnt they are called up on to choose between going to work at the firm's terms or standing a strijke to uphold the principles of their otgani zition, then it is that these white iwash i d traitois sneak out from under j their WltiJ hon r on the one hand and eelfist! on the other, decide that Loner is greeU i -- i a mxM n rafC.il v candidate bekase be has ury they can't afford, violate their sa o.nlsed us r fat 'vl atme'nt. Brother cred obligation, relinquish their mar: ho id, and, like Judas lecariot, fo a few pahiy shekels, sell their sou's. OuoU men, or ratuer creatures, are a disgraca to their couatry, an eye-?ore t the commnuitv, traitors to their bet friends, an i a God-foisaken lump of s-rv to themselves. NationalLabor Triluue.
