consumer, by an economy of capital.

consumer, by an economy of capital.
But this slight and momentary advan-
tage, which docs not come to you as la
borers, but as human beings, vanishes
again in course of time, through this
cruel and relentless law, which lowers
wages to the measure of consumption
necessary to bare existence.
When the press, the pulpit and polit-
ical economist condescend to discuss the
social question, the laborer is told that he
is much better off now than we're his an
cestors and the workingmen ofa hundred
years ago.,
But it must be borne in mind that
production has increased thousand fold,
the Injuries of life have been infinitely
multiplied, and all the conditions conve-
niences and appliances that make life
tolerable have been augmented beyond
comparison with any other period of the
worlds history. Has the condition of the
producer increased in the same ratio ?
Is the laborer of to-day thousand fold
better off than the laborer of a century
ago? We saw. no : f..
1t was stated by John Stuart Mill, in
his political economy, that, in spite Of
the enormous amount of labor-saving
machinery introduced into the world,
the daily toll of single human being
had not been lessened in the slightest.
The startling significance of such an as
sertion as this will be appreciated when
it is stated that, in Great Britain alone,
the amount of labor-saving machinery
employed is equal in power and pro-
ductiveness to the combined manual la
Dor of collection of laborers equal to
four times the population of the entire
world. ..
But this is not all. Not only has the
daily toll of workingmen not been less
ened, but their daily remuneration, COM
pared with the cost of living has not
appreciably increased since the introduc-
tian of labor-saving machinery. Yet the
increase of wealth, resulting from this
enormous increase of production, is al
most inealculable. Where does it go ?
and how does it get there are questions
that are forcing themselves on the atten-
ton OF society, from year to year, with
growing seriousness.
Friends, the question is not-Are we
better off than our ancestors? but-Are
we as well off as the advanced condi-
tions of society warrant US in being
Are we as we'll off as our masters -our
employers?
Are we as well off as the non-producers
the loafers and wasters of the worlds
wealth?
Are we as well off as we ought to be ?
| The answer is emphaticallY, No!
Then, we shall never be contented or
happy until We have all that in justice
belong to us, whether it makes rs happy
or not.

THE IRON LAW OF WAGES.
A Slavery Which Must Be Wiped
Out, Before Man Will Be
Free.
Evolution or Revolution.

Evolution or Revolution.
Governmental cooperation, as treated
of in the preceding chapters, cannot be
generally adopted until the wages sys-
tenn is abolished; or rather, as the wages
system is gradually abolished, govern
mental 60 operation will take its place.
Hewho works for wages is slave,
and wages slavery is, in many respects,
worse than chattel slavery. >..
Of course the indignant wage worker
repels the charge that he, free Ameri-
can citizen, is slave. s.
However, it all depends upon our con-
ception of the meaning. character and
conditions of slavery We will name
you its conditions of slavery, and then
you can call it by the grandest or pref
test name you choose; to US. the sys-
tenn is vile, mean, debasing. cheating
and exploiting, and we call it slavery
because it fills the bill.
First-You must work earlier, longer
and later than you wish to.
Second-You must give closer appli-
cation to your work, and perform more
in a given time than you desire to OF
than you ought to.
Third Sometimes You don't want to
work but must. Sometimes you want to
work but can't.
Fourth The remuneration you re.
ceive is not full equivalent for the
labor performed, or the thing produced
Fifth-A large portion of your time
and labor is directly controlled and
supervised by your employer, and the

are proportionately greater, the variety.
quality and cost of production being
higher, the staple being wheat, beef,
butter, cheese, beer, fruit, vegetables,
etc.
In the United States, especially in Cal
ifornia and recently developed terrific
ries, the standard of living is higher
than anywhere else in: the world, and
here and elsewhere wages conform to
the condition of existence.
A '49er in California very often got $40
per day, but his meals cost 81 each and
his whisky 25 cents drink. To-day ne
can buy as good a meal and better
whisky for 25 cents and 10 cents respect
lively, but his wages are reduced to 81,
and if the average standard and cost of
living continues to decrease, in twenty
five years hence his meals will cost 5
cents and his wages will be rs cents to
so cents, if the present wages system Is
not abolished in the meantime. That
wages conform to the average standard
and cost of living isea natural and un-
changeable law, unvarying, scientific
and logical. .'z > .
1t is also an absolute law that the
average conditions of life in given
country determine the average intelli-
gence, morality, physical development
and happiness of the people of that
country; the better the conditions OF
existence, the better the man will be in
every particular. The horse that is well
bred, well fed, well, stabbed, well eurried,
and properly worked, will be far superior
to the animal that is badly bred, badly
fed, poorly stabbed, rarely cleaned and
hard worked. How long will men re-
main contented to be plugs and scrubs
when they might change their entire
condition by the desire and determina-
ton to do so /. !
From the amount produced there is
only SO much taken and divided among
the producers as viii tolerably support
life fwages(, all over and above goes to
the employer (capital).
1t is, therefore, a consequence of this
memorable and cruel @Law Of Wages
that the workingman-the disinherited
ARE deprived of the enjoyment and
advantages brought about by the pro-
gress of civilization for the toiler is q
tbare existence; for the employer all the
surplus. N
Owing to increased productiveness
many articles, formerly considered luxu-
ries, have reached degree of cheapness
which bring them temporarily within
the reach of labor, and 80 confer slight
benefit but, remember, he gets this ad-
vantage as consumer, not as producer

balance is indirectly supervised and
regulated by the wages he pays and the
system he aids in creating.
Working for wages, therefore, you are
not freeman, but slave, and slave
that your employer despises and will
get along without whenever he can.
While you are youg and in good work
ing condition his avarice deprives you
of many pleasures, luxuries and even
necessaries; when you are disabled, old
or sick, he will not support or care for
you; in case of death he won't bury you
or aid your widow and orphans. if you
are unfortunate enough to haye any.
In these respects you are worse OH
than chattel slave.
The master sought the chattel slave
the wage slave seeks his master.
The chattel slave gave work for his
food; the wage slave cannot get food
for his work.
You can call this condition by what
name you choose to us it is sufficiently
wretched to be called by worse name
than slavery.
The merciless economic rule under
which the present system fixes the rate
of wages is this, that the average wages
always remain reduced to that rate
which is hardly sufficient to support the
life of the laborer and enable him, to
produce his kind; that is the fixed point
around which labor always reyolves,
never remaining for long time either
higher or lower. Were it to remain fo-
q long time above this point, marriages
would increase, with proportionate in
crease of laborers in one generation,
which would again lower the standard
of wages. Neither can wages, for long
time, fall below the average cost of liv,
ing, as that would induce emigration and
celibacy, which circumstance would de.
crease the number of laborers, and con.
sequently restore the lost equilibrium.
The wages of people are regulated
by their habits of living, and these
habits conform to the limits of existence
and propagation.
To illustrate In new country, where
laborers are few and the cost of living
high, wages will invariably be large in
proportion exactly the reverse is al
ways the case with old and thickly set.

A CRAZED FATHER ENDEAyORS TO KILL HIS
FAvORITE CHILD.
\ New York telegram says: William
Walsh. a laborerer, residing on the top
floor OF No. $40 Manhattan avenue, Green
point. has been suffering for some time
past from some affection Of the brain. This
morning he appeared to be suddenly
seized with fit. and seemed inclined TO
be violent. Mrs. Walsh became alarmed
and went for DR.. MorriSey. leaving her
two chldren-ThercSa, eighteen months.
and another, five years Old-In the room
with her husband. The doctor returned
with her in a very few minutes, but was
Mortified on entering the room to see him
holding the child Theresa by the feet and
beating her head upon the floor. The
blood from the child's head was spattercd
all over the floor.
When the doctor entered Walsh drop
ped the child on the floor. and, giving a
maniac howl, he made a dash at the doctor.
The latter. however. lodged him, and
Selling the heavy rung OF a rocker which
was lying on the floor struck him on the
head with il. The blow knocked him out
into the hallway, and missing his footing,
or tripping over the dO0r-mat, he fell TO
the bottom Of the 6isht Of stairs. The doe
tor was upon him before he could rise, and
held him until the arrival of a policeman,
when he was handed over TO his custody.
He struggled on the way to the station
house. and was so violent when he reached
there that he had to be tied IN order to pre-
vent him from injuring himself. He will
be transferred 10 the lunatic asylum as
soon as possible. His little girl, whose
head he beat upon the floor, the physicians
Sav, will survive but short time. She
was always his favorite.

was larger and the play better than the
previous night. The MascOttc rs repre-
scntcd by this company was not the same
rs heretofore witnessed. and the changes
were very agreeable, bringing out strongly
many humorous features not heretofore
witnessed. TO Mr.. Fred. II. Frear, who
personated Rocco, and TO Mr.. W. Paul
Brown, who took the character OF Prince
Lorenzo, much Of the pleasure growing

plauded. Mr.. Wilette Seaman. rs Bip-

he was at once voted success. Mr.. Alonz0
Hatch made a good Frederic and was en-
cOred several times. He was in better voice
last night than night before. The per-
formance fully justified the criticism that
the company will afford pleasure to all who
hear them. BY special request the COM
pany will present Oliyctte tonight instead
OF Pinalorc, as heretofore announced. The
same play will be given at matinee this
