Polk had promised, at the time of the
Farmers' Convention, that he would
disown this slanderer and do justice to

Sometimes the coul ornpmiet have

strikes. These facts should lead to a
reconsideration of the general utility
of strikes. Observation teaches us that
a strike on real grievances and reason
able demands is almost sure to succeed.
while unreasonable strikes surely fail.
The danger is unwise leadership.
Blatant and shallow men are too apt
to become leaders, and a little author
