KANSAS AGITATOR : GARNETT, KAS., SEPT 28, 1893.
HARD TITHES AT SXAGVILLE.
From American Nonconformist.
.Things are gettin' bilious up at
Snagville-on-the hill ;
Fellers settin' 'round an' gruntin'
like they had a chill ;
Dollars scarce as hen's teeth are, an'
not a sign of more ;
Merchants soon will have to hang
the crape upon the door.
Feelin' sad an' lonesome up at Snag
ville-on-the-bend,
Fer the natives all are busted not a
cent to spend ;
An' the stores are all deserted grass
grows in the street,
Throwin' lonesome shadders on the
old-time loafin'-seat.
"There ain't no hope fer Snagville
till the Democrats git in"; ,
An' now they're chafin', waitin' fer
the hopin' to begin,
Fer times is hard an' dollars scarce,
an' gittin' scarcer still ;
An' ev'rybody's got the blues at
Suagville-on-the hill.

Reduction in Wages.
Nonconformist,
Woonsocket, R. I., Sept. 12.--Notices
were posted yesterday in
the Social, Nourse and Globe mills,
all cotton, of a reduction of wages,
to take effect Sept. 18.
Grosvenordale, Conn., Sept. 12.
The Grosvenordale company has
posted notices of a reduction of 10
percent, in operatives' wages, be
ginning Sept, 18.
Providence, Sept. 12. The Lons
dale company has posted notices
raising the rent of the company's
tenements 10 percent, in Lonsdale,
as well as in Ashton. This action,
coupled with yesterday's notice of
a 10 per cent, reduction in wages,
has created consternation among
the employes.
When the laboring men in the
cities learn that they can accomplish
more in one day at the election than
they can in a six-months' strike, the
labor problem will be approaching a
solution.
Laboring men spend ten years in
getting their wages raised. Capital
knocks them down again in two
months by means of a panic, and
scoops the laborers's partly-paidfor
home at the same time.

proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that the
results of the continuation of present social condi

Revolution was a gentle zephyr to a cyclone. To
a style and diction fully equul to thxt of Henry

born of a conviction of the extreme gravity of the

If tbe People's Party should scatter a million

read carefnlly and prayerfully. No book has ever
been published that will effect as much Rood as
this one will. Read ng its truthful pages will make
