wheat IN these statements, it In accompa-
MED with good deal of chat.
Presumption has been the besettlng sin
of many, and 1t may prove in this instance
the besetting ain Of those who talk 20 glibly
about republican institutions, and pirate 70
loudly of immunity from danger. These
same wiseacres should remember that the
permanent success IF rePubi'ca" INSTITUTIONS
has vet to be demonstrated, as no criterion
can be formed from the experience Oh

II wealth, monopoly and class legislation
At the same ratio at which it has increased
turing the past decade, and unless radi-
cal change is effected, American democracy
will exist only in name
These facts, however, are steadily
ignored, and instead of taking a warning
from the past, instead Of acknowledging
the fact that the same causes will produce
the same results, and determining to avoid
the causes which have created communism
in Europe, We hug the mantle Of self
complacency, and shut our eyes to the reci
pice to which we are hurrying

Resolsed, That we favor the repeal Of our
national banking. law, and believe that the
government should supply legal tender cur
rency directly from the treasury.
Resolved, That we hold that our patent laws
are too often made 10 subserve the interests
Of monopolists, and should be carefully re-
viaed and restricted
Resolved, That the rights Of all are equal
politically. socially, occasionally, and indus
triAlly- and we insist that no privileged class
and no privileged capital shall exist In the
Land.
Resolved That we favor the industrial edu-
cation by the State, Of all children who,
through any lack Of duty toward them, or
the part Of guardians, become either idle or
vagrant
Resolved, That we pledgs ourselves to the
abolition of the contract system all public
works, city, state and national, and the re luc
ton of the hours of labor. to allow of
the employment Of those thrown idle by lebor

CALL FOR THE INTERNATIONAL
LABOR CONGRESS.

We again direct the special attention OF
the mechanics and workingmen Of the
United States to the official call for the
Assembly of the Industrial Congress, pub
hshed in the present issue. The objects
sought to be accomplished are lucldly set
forth, and should certainly commend them
selves to the endorsement Of every man
and woman who labors for living The
invitation is certainly catholic in its
character, and embraces all classes or call
ings which have right to expect admis-
sion to such gathering. Every organiza-
ton having for its object the amelioration
Of the condition Of those who labor for a
living is entitled to one representative is
the language of the call, and the phrase
ology IS as general and comprehensive as
the veriest growler can desire.
The truth Of the matter is our labor
organizations bear great resemblance to
our militia companies. They have too
many officers and too few privates. There
is too much petty ambition and scheming
among a class Of leaders, and too little
genuine enthusiasm among the masses.
We want fewer epauiettes and more mus
kets We have too many independent
guerlllas too NAM men On horseback
and not quite enough on foot. If nine
teen-twentieths Of the independent, so
called labor organizations which now eAist,
only to distract and annoy, and feed the
vanity Of this or that individual, were
dlsbanded, and organized under a common
banner, the interests Of the toiling millions
would be advanced thereby Until this
is done, until the grand army Of labor
realizes this fact, and acts accordingly, we
have comparatively little t. hope from the
labor movement. 1t is for this reason
that we have given and intend to give to
the Industrial Congress cur undivided sup
port, and it is for this reason especially that
We ask the friends Of labor everywhere,
the members of other similar organizations,
to concentrate their efforts in its behalf
Its platform has the ring OF the true
metal the object it seeks to accomplish
are clearly defined and It's invitation bears
no uncertain sound.
Trades URiOHists, Labor Reto,1ners, A,,ti-
MonopOiists, Granger, Ss'cing and Working
Women read the call for yourselves, and if
you cannot indorse the objects for which
It is called, give Us the reason Why. If
you do-remember faith without works is
dead

80, % a.ch branch If labor displays mo-
80 ,,.o,;no in search OF remeuy,
than the expression OF ke~'
;dea. sufficiently broad to cover the whole
dispute between capital and labor. To
come to the point, the farmer wishes to
enjoy the whole product Of his labor,
without paying iniquitous tolls to rail
roads, bankers, merchants and middlemen.
The workingman desires the same. There
is therefore natural union between the
two-and no opposition. Wherever one
gains by the displacement of an obnoxious
class-the other is sure to reap an equal
benefit. Wherever an enemy of the one
can be found, there also exists the enemy
of the other. Each is a labor class, and
each is equally the prey of the money
class. But it may be set down as an
indisputable fact that neither Changers nor
Workingmen can achieve anything worth
lobtaining, if they place themselves under
the leadership Of any Of the old party
politicians Democracy and Republican
ism have each outlived their day Of useful
ness-and have now become obsolete issues
The age has outgrown them, and has dis
covered that there are social principles Of
infinitely more Importance, which all party
platforms have left untouched
1t is no longer q question of enslaved
color, bul a question Of enslaved toll.
Farmers and workingmen are alike de-
handing, what becomes of the product
Of our toll How happens it that those
who do none of the work, receive all the
benefits Where are our factories, mines,
banks, railroads and princely dwellings

economy lies when it says that labor creates
all wealth, or else there is q vast system Of
fraud and injustice which robs labor Of all
its earnings. This plumber has been
legalized, but it is no less plumber. The
railroad corporations represent their hun
dreds of millions, the banks represent their
hundreds Of millions, the great cities and
palaces of the rich represent thousands Of
millions, all distracted from labor. How
did this wealth all 60 from the farming
and working classes into the hands Of the
nun-producing element Is not this
niquity, and the remedy for it the great
question Of the hourl In comparison with
this, why waste time over penny reductions
in freight, and promised economy and re-
trenchment in governme It expendI-
