Charles Scbiff, representive from the Social Re-
form, and Economical Exchange Associations,
presented the following, which was referred to
Special Committee of three, Messrs. Price, dc
Carthy and Crate;
In this time of excitement In which the most Oh
our wor kpgmen are engaged there has been
good many reforms proposed 10 improve the sltua-
tion OF our brother workingmen. With the most,
or with ali OF them, cannot agree because think
they don't handle the question the right way. 1t
seems to me like bad piece OF furniture; you may
mend and repair it an many times as you please IL
will never be good piece OF work therefore, let
us put of all this menUing aud repairing We
know very well our institutions are not as they
should be- there are scarcely any institutions or
laws made for us poor workingmen. why snau
we trouble ourselves any longer with these old rot
ten lawsl Let as have something that will DO
permanent. And what do you think would pro-
pose1 Nothing less than to make you all true
Christians That may look strange to you that
Jew (but he 10 q mechenc) should come here to
this ball 10 make you all christians; but it is 80.
/ am Jew by birth with christian principles. In
few words which Christ said l, 800 years ago to
bis Apostles you will find all the Social Reforms
included in them: Thou shalt love thy neighbor
as thy self"
That is all the Reform want; that is the prin-
oipal part Of all Reforms and if you want to esta0
ish that truth, the first step must be to devise jas
tioe TO every living creature under the sun. That
was preached 1900 years ago, and is not fulfilled
yet In spite Of ali your ministers all your churches,
and all your prayers bat to fulfil that great COM
msndment w have no need OF ministers, churches,
or prayers Nothing is wanted bat our own good
and willing hearts and clear mind. Give me
Justice for all. That says clear enough without
explaining, that If must work to make my living,
every man who wanted TO live must work like me
too. This same principle forbids me to support al
idle man, for if | do that law is violated Our
great Constitution says that We are all born alike
and If we born alike; five are all the children
Of ore Almighty God, how can it be that one child
has to work to support two or three OF his broth
rem in idlepess. But there is no Justice no Chris
will we let these idle rich men trampe on our
necksl Shall we be slaves for ever! | want
to establish Society Of independent men, Society
where every man is rich. say, as Moses said to
the Israelites, there shall be poor among you
In Society where We all are masters, there will
no longer be any difference between man and man,
and then we may say we are the happiest nation
under the sun. Shortly we may upset all the old
and rotten Institutions. 10 our Society we will be,
or we can be without the present expensive Gov.
eminent, and have no seed of police, lawyers, min
listers, poor houses and prisons. Give us Schools
instead of Churches That will be the best medi-
cine for the sick and wicked existing Society. Our
merchants shal be no longer our bosses. They
should behereafter agents servants In short,
want a Republic Of Workingmen. But you must
not believe that am going to make revolution
far be 1t from me. l am for peacesble measures
as well as any Of you. But our intellectual facul-
ties cur common sense our good judgment shall
help to make us Tree. To make US independent
To make Republic OF workingmen. But what
have we to dot Which way have we 10 go
What means have we to undertake 10 make us free
and independent know there are good many
ways for this, and may not be on the right one,
but will explain my idea, and if there is any one
here who knows better way, let him come for
ward and will 80 with him. Therefore would
propose that,
FIRST This Congress should try 10 unite all the
wofkingmtns societies represented here into one
great oonsumptiye and productive society.
Second: That society should be called the Work
ingmen's Union
1h'rd' Should try to get q capital on hand by
means Of collection or to lay in stocks or TO make
every member pay a. much as the Congress may
think it proper This question leave 10 the Con.
gress to decide.
Fourth: With this capital we might begin to be
our own merchants, grocery dealers, bakers, but
cheers, &C., &c.
Fifth: Every member OF that society should be
bound to support the society's stores with all his
mesns he should make it his duty not to bay any
thing 10 any other store il he can get 1t in our
stores.
Now, Mr.. President my resolution is to adopt
justice, and TO make II into a truth, though before
80 further to explain myself would refer you to
consultation OF similar society, under the name,
Economicsi hxcnange Association This society
