Labor, the Creator OF Wealth. Ia En-
IitIed 90 All 10 Creates.

From the National Standard.
The man who with his hands digs clans
out of the seashOre, OF climbing a tree
gathers apples or one who fashions hoe
out of hard wood, is pure simple laborer
and is entitled to what he gets or makes
The man who makes such a hoe one day,
and working with il the next day, digs
twice as many clans as when he used his
hands alone, is capitalist and laborer united
He works with labor. He too is an honest
laborer and entitled to all be gets. The
man who works a week and makes ten
such hoes then joins nine less skilled men
with himself and they, the ten, share ialriy
the product OF his h1es and their toll, IN
PRODUCES cooperation and aust clvlllza-
ton a system which seems 10 hOlu wllhln
itself every possible safeguard against mis-
use and to be tull of the seeds OF all good
results. The man who, having made such
a hoe, lets il 70 another less skilled man 10
dig clans receiving an equivalent for Its
use, is a capitalist. Such system has no
inherent, essential injustice in II, and Il II
can be properly arranged and guarded
serves civilization. The difficulty Is TO
guard il from degrnerating into despotlsm
and fraud The man who getting possess
ion of thousand such hoes, sits with IDLE
hands, ard no mental effort but selfish
cunning and arranges network OF laws
and corporations, banks and currency, IN
terest and corners TO get seven out OF
every ten clans that are dug, Is drone.
We mean by an honest system TO starve
him out and compel him Ia work. The
man who sits in Wall street and, by means
of bank credit, buys up all this year. clans
TO raise the price-who talking fifty thous-
and honestly earned dollars, makes Clam
Digging Company newspapers to
lie about it,-creates ten banks and locks
up gold, or arraugcs a corner to depress lis
stock,-Ihen buys up every share makes
ten more banks and floods the land with
paper and sells out retiring al er week
of such LIb0r with u fortune, Is a THIEF.
Such thieves Of the past We propose to
leave undistuTbed Our plan IS 10 make
such thieves impossible in the future.
WENDELL PHILLIPS.

FROM NEW YORK.

New YORK Nov. Sd, 1871.
To the Editor Of The woRKISGMAN's ADVOCATE.
send you enclosed copy of two
speeches, so far as could procure reports.
hope you will see how timely and appro-
pirate they are, and find space for them,
for the benefit of our brothers in toll
l also find and forward full copy Of
the most remarkable, as well as most able
speech ever made for our cause in America
Indeed there is but one man living, who
could, or would, make that speech. Wen
dell Phillips is alone in his glory, no man
can share it, no labor reformer has ever
met the case so fully, or covered SO much
ground Phillips has struck the key note,
its echos will never die II will tingle in
the ears of 'tyrants till the monsters shall
flee from the earth. 1t has already begun
its round let us keep it going till its notes
shall cheer the toiler, on more than two
continents. Print it in good type; it de-
serves to be in letters of gold.
Iwish also you would print again so
much of the so call Ku-Klux bill as was
framed in the interest, and for the account
Of the railroad and land monOpolists
against the labor organizations. You
know the circumstances this measure was
before Congress while our miners strike
was going on. The rings took alarm, and
hurried off to Washington, caused the
language of the bill 10 be SO changed, as
to give them the whole national force 10
perpetuate our slavery, when they choose
to bring its provision into exercise.
What member Of the labor union will
even shoulder a musket TO support that
bill? know Of nole. The audacity OF
these mercenary lords. These robbers OF
the people A bill ostensibly to suppress
unlawful acts. is made the occasion TO
forge claims to permanently enslave US.
Who are your soldiers oh tyrant, where
is your army: We are the people. We
are the army, and you shall have no other.
You don't seem to understand that there
is God Of mercy and justice.
gu VINO nave lOIStu thesc CldlhlS, may
as well understand from the people that
the day Of parleying has gone by, the hour
OF reckoning is nigh. Will you then call
upon US to save your corrupt gold2 We
remind you that you stole it from US. Ii

teal parties shall we fight? that is all Of
it, that is the question
The members Of the labor organizations
here already answered that we are the
people and we mean to have a govern.

ELECTION DAY il passed for few days
there has been grand festival for loaferS
and bummers Old scakers who had nOe
felt 10 twenty-five cent scrip in their fob for
weeks have been apparently flush through
the spasmodiC generosity of candidates for
Office tAngle leg and lager could be easily
procured from both the frs and the Olas
The victorious candidates look jubilant,
while the defeated ones are left out in the
cold to reflect upon the uncertainty Of poll
teal success, and to witness an entire
change, politically, ofthe city officers. We
hope the change will be beneficial; we can
tell better after a trial Of two years, if the
change is for good, or if the new Corners
will fall into the track Of their illustrio0s
predecessors.

THE BRICKLAYERs-The officers of the
Bricklayers Union emphaticaily deny that
it is either The desire or design Of il,
members, to take advantage Of the situa-
ton, as has been unjustly charged, and
say they are not willing To shoulder the
sins Of the petty contractors. whom they
claim originally started the hue and cry
to cover their ocR intentions. Although a
large per centage lost their all, liz
fruits of years labor, and are anxious u
get as good wages a. they possibly can

fortunes ot any one. They are also
anxious to warn their brethren in the
East against The inducements held out by
some OF the daily press But comparatively
little brick work VIII be done in Chicago
before spring. and the evident design i
to swamp the trade by bringing in three
journeymen for one that IN wanted.
Lodgings are scarce, and it d not vcry

work.
The workingman's advocate. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1864-1877, 1871-11-11

The PRNTERs.-Every day the number
OF unemployed Of this craft becomes
smaller. The bulk OF the printing Offices,
including all the newspaper press, are
located ON the west side, and this fact
alone will make that section Of the city
the business centre, during the winter Al
least. JOB offices are starting every day
and from present indications, their will b,
work at remunerative prices for all.

TRADE IN THIS CRY in all mechanical
branches continues good, workmen Of an
classes seem to be probably employed /;
the long dry spell OF weather is favorable
for building and outside work, while the
demand for good practical mechanics con-
tinues. Foundries and machine shops are
in full blast Ship yards are crowded
with work, but that is but temporary, the
season is 50 far advanced, but the signs Of
the times are that there will be plenty Of
work for willing hands. at renumeratiye
ways this winter. So much property has
been destroyed by fire, 1t must and will be
replaced as fast as possible, and it will re-
quire large amount Of mechanical skin
and labor to produce it.

In reply to many inquiries we, desire
once and for all to state that as soon as

proceedings will be published in full
They have been carefully preserved, but
they are too voluminous to appear in the

lished before the 18th OF November.

The MoLDERs. - We learn from Mr.
VIM Parker, of the Molders Union, that
the number Of members burnt out, in the
recent fire, amounted to one hundred and
sixty-seven These men lost their all
many Of them barely escaping with their
lives. The contents of their hall, adjoining
the ADVOCATE Office, one Of the cosiest in
the city, were entirely destroyed, not a
vestige Of their records or furniture being
preserved. Since that time, over $1,000
has been paid out to needy members, be-
sides the aid in the shape Of blankets,
provisions, &c, received from the Relief
Committe, all Of which have been judici-
ously distributed. Their present place Of
meeting is the southeast corner Of Ran
dolph and Clinton streets Work is
brisker than it has been for some time
past, and the membership Of the union il
larger than it has been since its organi-
cation.

APPOINTMENT OF BRITISH Consul
Jas. Warrack, Esq, representative of the
well known shipping firm Of Henderson
Bros, of New York and Glasgow, has re-
Gently been appointed British Consul for
the northwest, headquarters in Chicago.
From a long and intimate acquaintance
with this gentleman we feel satisfied that
no selection more agreeable to our English
or American citizens could have been
made, nor one more conducive to the in
terests of both countries. He brings to the
discharge Of his duties, executive ability
Of the highest order, an extensive business
experience and acquaintance, a thorough
knowledge Of the wants and capacity OF
the western States, and desire to cement
the bonds Of friendship between the two
great branches of the Anglo Saxon race,
qualifications which peculiarly fl him for
the responsibilities of his position.
