Nothing in a Name.
Robert T. Lincoln is adver
tised by the republicans as a
counter attraction to Eugene
V. Debs to speak at Duluth,
Wednesday night, Oct. 21.
The plutocratic managers
who control the republican
party—for which Mr. Lincoln
will speak—are the legitimate
descendents—gome of them in
blood, all of them in sentiments
and purpose—of the gold gam
blers of Wall street who sym
pathized with and encouraged
the rebellion in order to prolong
the war and enrich themselves
by the necessities of the gov
ernment and at the sacrifice of
i'
thfc blood of the men who wore
the blue.
Those of us who remember
that Mr. Lincoln's worthv fath
er once said when referring to
those gold gamblers--the pre
decessors of the present gold
bug gang that controls the re
publican party—ikI wish evety
one of them had his devilish
head shot off"—will appreci
ate the fact that there is such a
thing as the "degenerate son of
an illustrious sire."
Mr. Lincoln is now in the ser
vice of the same interests that
sought bv every possible means
(o haiiass his father in his
great work, the gang that
stirred up the draft riots in the
north, that shipped smallpox
infected clothing to Union hos
pitals, and that made it neces
sary to gariison New York city
with troops sorely needed at
the front. He is working for
the political successors of the
northern copperheads.
Debs Coming.
Next to the coming of Bryan,
the most important event of
the campaign will be the ap
pearance of Eugene V. Debs at
the car barn Wednesday even
ing, October 21.
There is no man in the coun
try connected with organized
labor that commands the re
spect and admit ation of work
ingmen more than Eugene V.
Debs. His name is a synonym
for enthusiasm. Coupled as it
is with the most outrageous
and tyrannical attack by pluto
cracy upon the rights of the
common people—the right of
trial by jury—that has been
witnessed on this continent
since the reign of George III,
every man in Duluth who ap
preciates the struggle for cent
uries by the English speaking
races for the establishment of
constitutional rights, will greet
Mr. Debs as a champion of
liberty worthy of the utmost
consideration. After the meet
ing at the car barn organized
labor will hold a reception for
thier distinguished guest at the
St. Louis Hotel.
The LABOR WORLD acknow
ledges a pleasant call from Mr.
Peter Witt, of Cleveland, Ohio.
Mr. Witt is stumping the state
in the interest of free silver and
Brvan.
