DYNAMITE is strong to-day at 4Sc
DYNAMITE NEEDED.

The ingenuity of man has oeen per
yerted by the capitalistic and employing
classes to fleece tn e producers OF their
earnings the last farthing, when pos
sible-by every conceivable method.
The rising of every mornings sun reveals
a new plot of the robbers to despoil their
victims and prepare them for theslavery
to which the money p wer OF the world
would consign them.
Right here in Colorado, under Or very
noses, are hatched and carried on
schemes to rob the workingman of the
miserly stipend for which he is com
pelled to barter his energies and his life.
A system of thieyery is in vogue on
several of the railroads which run into
Denver, and as late evidences of its op-
Grafton have been shown me, desire to
call the attention of readers of The En-
qUlRER to the subject.
Men are employed by heads of depart
ments on the roads and put to work.
Nearly two months passes before the
new employees have payday. In the
meantime they are compelled to run IN
debt for the necessaries of life. The
company holds backleach pay day nearly
one months wages-in some cases more
and when the employe makes his first
call upon the pay car he does not receive
enough to liquidate the Indebtedness
contracted during nearly or more than
two months-the rate of wages paid is
never more than enough to meet neees-
sary expenses. The system is familiar
to nearly every reader of this paper.
Now for the theft.
The superintendent, or some other
mogul of division, makes an arrange
ment with some other robber, not in the
employ of the company. This thief buys
up the bills, at discount, against the
employe, and serves garnishee on the
head of the division-his accomplice.
The wages of the employe are confscated,
and the profit on the transaction is di-
vided between the two rascals
and the justice of the peace who gets out
"the papers" for which the fee is doubled
several times. The victim is discharged ;
because it is one of the rules of the
company" that any employe who is gar
nisheed must be disc larged.
This species of robbery is carried on
very extensively at Como, division OF
the South park road, so am informed,
and a large numberof laborers have been
victimized in that quarter.
Comment is unnecessary but | would
not be satisfied myself if did not in
form the victims of these plots that they
can learn how to make and use dynamite
by applying at this office.

OPINION is getting better.

OPINION is getting better. The last
number was excellent, and was thor
oughly appreciated. There is no use
denying that the public generally, and
the fraternity particularly were very
much disappointed in the other two
issues. But everybody feels better about
it now. Speak right out in meetin'
Rothacker; that's what the people expect
of you, and, in certain sense, is what
you promised them. Compliments and
advice from "a workingman's paper
may not be valued very highly by "a
society Journal" but that's all right
THE ENQUIRER follows its lnclinations,
without waiting for invitations, and is
proof against snubs and cold shoulders

A NEW DEPARTURE.

The last number of San Francisco
Truth announces that it will appear no
more as weekly paper, but will here
after be issued monthly as a magazine.
The first number under the new form
will be issued early in May.
There will be no change in manage
ment, Burnette G. Haskell still remain
ing in charge, and there is every reason
to hope for beneficial results from this
move. In his prospectus the editor an
nounces that the monthly Will contain
special articles from some of the deepest
and best known thinkers on social ques-
tions in this and other countries, and will
be occasionally illustrated The price of
subscription will remain at the old figure
50 per year-and the monthly will be
sent to fill the unexpired time of sub
scriptions to the weekly.
cannot but believe this is a good
move and will accomplish great work in
educating the people. In the countries
of Europe monthlies are published in
the interest of the cause, and they have
been found to do work which was not
done by the weekly and daily journals.
There are so many weekly publications
devoted to the propagation of our doc
trines the natural competitions of which
results in each one being, to a great ex-
tent, only local in influence, 1t is impos-
sible to make any of such national Or
gan. A monthly, conducted on higher
plane and more general in ITS applica-
tions, can be made to fill this place, and
for that reason, rejoice at the move
made by our California brothers and
sisters.
Ishall receive several copies of the
Msy number of the new magazine and
will be happy to pass them around for
inspection. l hope a good-sized club
will be raised in this community.

A Correct Idea.
Editor Labor Enquirer.

Edltor LABOR enquirer.
CINCINNATI, April AT a meeting of
Cincinnati Typographical Union No. 8,
held yesterday, the following preamble
and resolution were adopted:
Whereas, Past experience has demon
strated time and again that militia are
organized mainly with the view of intim-
idating the people, especially working
men, whenever their actions run counter
to the interests of capitalists and corpo-
rations and
Whereas, The civil authorities do not
require military aid in suppressing crime
or keeping in subjection the criminal
classes ; therefore, be it
Resolved, AS the sense of this union,
that membership in theastate militia is
inconsistent With the duties and obliga-
tions of trades unionists, and members
of this union who are also members of
the Ohio National Guard are hereby re-
quested to withdraw from the latter Or
ganlzation at the earliest day practicable
CORRESPONDENT.
The Labor enquirer., 1884-04-12

The press of the country is largely of
the opinion that the militia is of no use !;
is an expensive toy; is ridiculous bur-
lesque on soldiery; is damned nuisance
generally, aud had better be abolished.
In this instance the press seems to reflect
public sentiment. Since the idiotic dis
play, which resulted so very seriously,
at Cincinnati, it is hard to find man
who is not of the mind that militia
must 60, and so declares unless it is the
militiaman himself, and he is like the
little boY-hasn't anything to say.
The Labor enquirer., 1884-04-12


somebody will get the idea that the
teachings Of Socialists are responsible
for this awakening Of the people. He
wants to show that there is warning
for the robbers of the people and the
debauchers of justice in the uprising
but he doesn't want aristocracy to get
the idea into its head that the Labor
Herald believes in the radical talk of the
Communist and Socialists who infests
this lovely land. I would rather have
the cucumber cramps than be in the
misery the editor of the Herald evi-
dences in his last issue.
Taking pointer from the aristocratic
press, when he turns loose on Socialism,
he knows no men save John Most and
Schwab; and, unless / am grievously
mistaken, he is not very familiar with
them. do not indorse the methods
advocated by those men, although L
agree with them as to theory; but l can
get along without abusing them. And
more than thatI deny that there is JUS
tice or sense in condemning good doc
trine because few of its believers are
inclined to be hasty and rash. | do not
descry trade and political organization
amongst workingmen because Denis
Kearney is scoundrel now, and yet the
day was when he was a pillar in those
organizations. Most or Kearney either
have done more for the cause of the
world than the soft-shelled labor re-
formers who are eternally bellowiD g,
'Down with Socialism"
don't like to make use of the same
argument every time have to deal with
one of these chaps, but it is to the point
and is incontrovertible, and l will not
refuse its services now. It's, that the
editor of the Herald does not know what
modern Socialism or Communism are, or
is foe to humanity. -...~
Remember, reader, we Socialists are
not necessarily Communists but those
who rant against either think they are
both the same.
The editor of the Herald says, in one
sentence, that Communists are idle,
shallow -pated lunatics." In another SEN
tence he says, ITO those who know the
principles of the Commune, they are
certainly the finest theoretical form of
government which could possibly be de-
vised."
In attempting to explain this complica-
ton our inconsistent critic might try to
fortify himself behind the word, "theo-
retical ;" but he certainly made "bull"
when he made the admission contained
in the last sentence quoted. The prin-
ciples incorporated into the Declaration
of independence once were only theory
and they have about circled back to
that point-but there came time when
they were practical, and practiced
Without devoting any more space to
this subject just now, want to advise
the "sympathetic" man on the Herald to
either leave the Socialists and Commu
nists alone, or to devote little time to
the study of their principles, and then
wrestle with his cowardly, sycophantic
heart awhile in the interest of consistent
honesty.

The Dynamite Gun and What 1t Suggests.
Editor LABOR ENQUIRER:

A~e$Ss
Editor LABOR ENQUIRIES:
New YORK, April 6.-The papers of
this city inform US that experiments
with dynamite guns, at Fort Hamilton,
are highly successful, and that there is
no longer doubt but that dynamite pro-
jectiles can now be thrown to great
distances, with the utmost accuracy, and
capable of demolishing any war vessel
that floats upon the waters.
This discovery is of the greatest prac-
teal value, and is destined to revolution
ize the methods of modern warfare.
Military power-when the dynamite
gun has been fully adopted as a coercive
force-will not depend upon the largest
fleets, and the heaviest guns, and the
thickest steel armor; but on the ability
to throw a dynamite cartridge the
farthest.
But, there is another question sug-
gested by this new projectile. 1t is this,
suppose that these experiments and
improvements 60 on until it becomes
about as easy matter for any person
to carry and discharge a dynamite
weapon as it is to fire musket ball !;
what would be the result of such inven-
tions, and especially as respects COM
munity in state of deep social agita-
The Labor enquirer., 1884-04-12

with view of removing the evils that
were likely to incite a riot. Edward
King said he learned that Inspector
Thorne had said it was a dangerous thing
to held meeting at the present time in
New York, as there were 10000 persons
here who obtained living by illegiti-
mate means. He would remind the IN
spector that there were also 10000 per-
sons around Wall street and in tho upper
part of the city who were and had for
years been living by illegitimate means. :
He belonged to party that did not
believe in beginning revolution. What
they wanted was to end a revolution
which began thousands of years ago,
and he believed that great reforms of
the future must come from the working
class and education. There were two
dangerous classes in the city-the law
yers and the Other political heelers, and
the riots in Cincinnati had been caused
by the heelers. The following preamble
and resolutions were then read and
adopted: j.--..
Whereas, The Cincinnati riot origi-
mated in ageneral indignation, caused by
the shameless corruption prevailing in
all the functions of our public life, and
especially in courts. ss.@
Whereas, The people have in this case
been driven by so-called prominent citi-
zens to attempt to lynch an obscure
miserable wretch, while scores of promi-
nent criminals not only elude punish
ment, but even hold prominent and
high official positions. !
Whereas, The same conditions exist
throughout the United States. and es-
pecially in the city of New York.
Whereas, The fundamental cause for
this shameful state of things is to be
found in the existing politicl and econo-
mical system based on the robbery COM.
mitted by capital upon the laboring
classes, and which system the bloodsuck-
ers in the political and economical field,
the capitalists and monopolists are
directly interested in perpetuating the
corruption in all public Offices by filling
the same with persons open to bribery
and subject TO the will of their patrons
the Observation-Disclosures be it
Resolved, That no amelioration of
public life is to be expected before the
fundamental eau be of the prevailing
evils of the existing system of capitalistic
robbery be thoroughly destroyed and
before the socialistic organization of
labor which precluE Eles all possibility of
such robbery, be established.
Resolved, That this great social revo-
luton can be accomplished only by the
oppressed; that is by the working classes.
Resolved, That for attaining this object
the working people must organize to
resent all attempts of their enemies to
provoke unnecessary riots, but must at
the same time carefully and with all
possible energy prepare for the ultimate
overthrow of the existing social order
based on corruption and robbery.
The Labor enquirer., 1884-04-12
An editorial on a sermon delivered by

certain priest of this city appeared in
these columns recently. 1t caused con-
siderable stir; some friendly, some
otherwise. am sorry if any friend of
the cause got miffed by the article; but
1 do not regret word 1 wrote. am
grleved that there are those who are 80
narrow-minded. 1 want to say right
here, that the pulpit must leave the
work of this paper alone from this time
out, or the fur will fly.
The Labor enquirer., 1884-04-12

ton? Suppose. for Illustration, that in
the recent outbreak Of popular wrath at
Cincinnati, few persons on the Walnut
hills which overlook the city, provided
with portable dynamite guns, should
have discharged dynamite cartridges
upon or into the Jail. and among the
masses of militia, and the batteries of
gatling guns, and other artillery. Could
any army, or battery or stronghold stand
firm amidst that kind of work? Itseems
to me that in place of scattering the
people officially called mob, or riot
they would very quickly scatter them
selves.
Ii this view of the subject is correct,
it appears that we are on the eve of a
radical change in military ideas. The
military power is the sovereign force at
present, in compelling the people of any
section or district to obey the commands
of their masters, called public servants.
But the dynamite gun seems destined
soon to reverse this state of things. The
bigger the army, and the more that
troops are massed, the easier it will be
to destroy them with dynamite arms.
And SO the gatling gun-the terror of
the sovereign" peoples doomed.
"But," some one will say, s'these handy
dynamite arms are not yet inv vented"
All, how do you know they are not2 Tt
is very easy to invent them, if they are
not already invented. Nothing is max
ing more rapid progress than machines
for destruction by dynamite. In Ger
many, Austria, Russia, England, Ireland
and the United States, thousands of in
telligent and ingenious minds are at
work IN this direction, and they are sure
to devise cunning and effective machines
for accomplishing so desirable an object.
We may confdentially look out for the
coming dynamite musket. Compressed
air, steel or brass springs, chemical &C
tions, any and everything that possesses
powerful elastic force, will be impressed
into this service, until the end is accom-
plished. Here is a novel and attractive
field for, mechanical invention. It may
be that this very idea of, a dynamite
musket is destined to revolutionize the
social, political and religious institutions
of the civilized world. 1t is a plain
proposition that if military power can be
successfully, defed,-and even routed
and demoralized-the institutions of
society must necessarily fall to pieces.
They are all supported and held together
by military force, and that alone it may
not be always visible, it is held in re-
serve, and out of sight, yet it is always
at hand when wanted. 1t is the ballast
down in the hold of the political ship,
intended to keep it right side, up. Take
it away, and everythinggo goes topsy -turvy.
But the ballast does not, by any means,
prove that the ship is righteous craft
it may be pirate. If so, the sooner it
is run down, the better. E. F. BOYD.
