WENDELL PHILLIPS,
What He Thinks About National Affairs
and Parties.

An Interview.
"You want a talk on national af-
fairs" said Mr.. Phillips, where
shall we begin!''
sWherever you please, Mr.. Phillips.
Perhaps the subjest of finance is most
engrossing the attention just now-the
silver bill, resumption, the green
back.
1.-The question of paper money,
based on the credit of the government,
is only one of time. 1t is certain to
come and to become a great cohesive
power in the formation of our nation.
Constitutional bounds must not be
over stepped in bringing the matter
about. but it can be done in time and
by proper steps, and is a necessity.
The Southin it's impoverished state
needs. even demands it. and the West,
in her crippled condition. ALSO needs 1t.
In regard to resumption. prophesled
| before the Social Science Association
in 1875 that the country would never
resume by statute. This theory was
received with considerable rldlcule
bv many newspapers of the East, but
time is showing that it is correct. IL
isno more right to resume by statute
than it is TO put your hand into every
tenth mans pocket and take out a
sovereign. When the nation was IN
the emergency of war the paper money
was issued. 1t changed the relation
of debtor and creditor. it, Is true. out
it was a necessity then and was right

a VOICE OF WARNING.

In all the money market reports we
find railroad bonds active and strong,
whilst most other stocks are little
figety. The lowest return OF dividends
on railroad stocks that we note is
semi-annual of five per cent. making
ten per cent year on the stocks, most
of them ''watered.
How is thist IS it because hunger
has subdued their workmen down,

And the rail kings, and the coal
kings, and the State Governors, and the
great Council at Washington, seem to
count that this will last forever; that
we, have got now into the LABOR
groove of the old world, and that we
will never get out oft. Well, TINS
NAV be. In the doom of nations Sucn
a thing stands forth looming ana
glaring through all time. It may be.
But will it be! Take breath, gentle
men; don't run rapidly away to your
wished conclusions. The question
that you think answered has not been
answered, as yet, at all. 1t has only
been just asked, and has had as yet
only spasmodic answer along the
lines from New York to California.
Shall we hold our breath when
sordid and inhuman men, traitors to
the Republic, are driving themselves
and us to the verge Of a preclplce, at
the foot of which lies a mlngllng OF
steel points and kissing birthstone !!
Peace Peace = said the French
seigneur, within the vestibule OF his
grand chateau; Don't break my
repose with your warnings. And he
turned to his enjoyments, bought by
the toll and wrnng from the hunger
of the French people. But the COD
of vengeance arose on his track, and
and where then were the chateau and
the seigneur!
Those idiots!-do they not know
that human nature is as true ana as
intense here as ever it was III France
or in any country Do they not know
that there is not foot long OF rail
road or foot deep of coal mine that
does not lie at the absolute mercy OF
the men these goddess intidels are
trying to starve The howl OF a
corrupted press and the point OF an
unwilling bayonet may int1lct night
mare quiet fora time. The managing
directors or doctors may stand by and
feel the pulse of that distressed man
in that unnatural slumber; but he is
liable to wake at any moment-Wake
when the hunger-mOngerlng doctors
think least about it. God have mercy
on the doctors then-the hunger doc
tors for that waking man is likely to
have no mercy upon them.
We raise this voice Of warning
because it rushes from our heart and
we cannot help raising it. We have
no hope-not the slightest hope-that
those mad and criminal men will
listen to it. That class of men, whether
they meet in Trinity Buildings, New
York, to concoct the coal expressions.
or in the headquarters Of Scott and
Vanderbilt to lay the load of distress
and hunger along the railway lines
that class, we say, herd together,
magnetic each other, fuse themselves
into one mas of combined evil and sin
"a depth of evil and of sin that one
man, if left to his own Isolated nature.
never, never, would fall into.
But there they are, and SO they are.
And you might as we'll go to the gar
rison of Plevna, or the circling host
of Russia for that matter, and beg OF
the one or the other to turn Christian
us you might preach to the fused mass
of coal and railroad mad men in the
hope of winning them back to the

power that will reconvert them IS
