ANNUAL MEETING OF THE N. W
S. A,


The annual meeting Of the National
Woman Suffrage Association is in coun-
ell in the seat Of government with fifty
fold more hope of a speedy recognition
Of our claims than ever before. As yet,
the very meagre dispatches from the as
ISOLATED press give but little detail,
though there are columns to spare over
the private quarrels Of our protectors %
in high places. But the tide has turned
in favor Of woman's freedom, and will
soon be at its flood. Not only are Sena-
tors, Representatives, and Cabinet Off
GERS favoring its meetings with respect
fol consideration, but the claims Of lead
ers are reaching even the executive ear.

THE LABOR QUESTION.

There are always a great many per-
sons living in every generation who
have no ambition to become anything
else than servants. The idea Of work.
ing for themselves, and in that way
looking out for and contriving to secure
their own salary, does not seem to occur
to them. They loaf around the towns
and cities, waiting to see il some exca-
vation isn't to be made, some building
10 tear down, some street TO be cleaned,
or other scullion's job 10 be done, and
when there is such a situation offered
for day or two, they flock TO il like
buzzards TO a carcass; and when it il
finished, they loaf and spree and chew
and smoke, and curse the Cinnamon,
who will cook and wash and run sewing
machines and save money at small
wages, till the next bone is thrown
them by the next enterprising capitalist
There is another class of laboring meu
who look for situations as brakesmen
teamsters, conductors, engineers, clerks
type-setters, baggage men, truck men
ETC., all of whom are as necessary to civ.
ilization as the former class, and many
of whom, like the former, cry out
against the capitalist, but for who's,
prudence and foresight they would have
nothing whatever to do.
The NEW NORTHWEST is no apolOgisi
for the present monetary system. Il 4:
all wrong in principle, from beginning
to end II Is based upon the assump
ton that, though human life is finite
capital is Infinite. Although a thous
and dollars, kept rigidly at compound
interest for hundred years, would ag
gregate to itself enough to bankrupt &
nation, and men know it, yet they &c
go on, attempting thus TO increase the
substance of money TO eternity, anc
then complain because the rich grow
richer and the poor poorer.
Laboring men do not yet grasp th'
idea of their own importance, else they
would start business Of their own, i
upon a scale ever so small. Not one o
them now out Of employment but could
in the blessed country, get his one acre
or ten, upon which to erect a shelter 70
his family; and not one Of them bu
could there compass an honorable live
lihood Shingles, barrels, hoop-poles
slaves, OK yokes, harness, shoes, saddles
gardens, pigs, poultry, fruit, sheep
cows-anything, on scale howeve
small, can be skillfully manipulated b.
those who know how, even il yol
haven't a cent to bless yourself with Z
make beginning. When a man show
a disposition to labor for himself, he cal
always get a lift, here and there, from
somebody more fortunate than he. i
the country he need pay no landlord, n
water tax, and no street cleaner. Fiv
acres of land are better for him tha
fifty, and ten than five hundred. lie
the leaders Of the "labor movement
lay facts like these before the presen
malcontents and they can earn 70
themselves reputation for philau
thropy which nobody can mistake 70
