THE IMPENDING STRUGGLE.
Signs ofan Awakening are Visible and
'Tyranny's Death Warrant
is Out.

Among the daily incidents of the
pending strike in Fall River the follow
ing is reported by the newspapers:
"a committee of spinnerswaited upon
a certain mill treasurer and asked if he
was furnishing filling for the Border City
mills, or if he proposed to do so. The
treasurer asked them. if it was customary
to consult him in regard to the sale of
his :cloth? Upon receiving negative
reply he then said, When l conclude to
consult you in relation to my cloth sales,
l will also consult you about my filling
sales. Until then 1 will do as l damn
please and thus the interview was
ended" ..
/ Whenever these lordly factory barons
are visited by reporters and questioned as
to the relative prices of cloth and labor
they brace themselves up contemporary
and exclaim: What business is it to
our operatives, or even to the public,
what we sell our goods for Do they not
belong to us and have we net the right
to sell them for what we please? We
deny the right of anybody to meddle
with our business"
give the Boston Globe credit for put
ting boldly to these insolent tyrants edi-
torially the following questions after one
of its reporters had been thus snubbed :
"If it is none of your operatives busi-
ness what you choose to sell your cloth
for, then what business is it to you what
they choose to sell their labor for? If
these goods belong to you and you have
the right to sell them for what you
please, then does not the operatives la
Dor belong to him and has he not the
right to sell it for what he pleases p If
you deny the right of anybody to med
die with your business, then why do you
constantly meddle with the operatives
business by tampering with the price of
his labor and keeping him in eternal
turmoil pr ~ q. ~ T..
To attempt to reason with corporation
tyrants is as useless as to attempt to
argue on questions of liberty and equity
with the ezar of Russia or an English
star chamber judge. These fellows want
it distinctly understood that they are abb
solute monarchs over their lands, facto-
ries, machinery, and industries, and that
their operatives are mere subjects, hire
lings, and industrial stock, but never
parties to the concern who have the
slightest right to question the manage
of things. Upon sustaining this point
hangs the whole power to perpetuate the.
present industrial conditions. The day
before Charles Stuart of England was led
to the executioner's block his nearest
courtiers said to him: sDo but say,

tween rival factories. they sell at low
prices, and try to save themselves by
reducing wages. When times are good,
the wages are not raised, because capital
wishes to provide q surplus to meet con-
tingencies or pay dividends; and hence
it will claim it cannot afford to raise the
wages again. When another emergency
arises, the wages are again reduced, until
the bottom is reached. And the capi-
talists will never think the bottom is
reached until the laborers strike and
rebel against further reduction.
If the work were distributed over the
country, the supply and demand would
be more equal. There is SO much con-
sumed every year; and there should be
so much manufactured. And there
would be steady employment all the
year round, at regular, paying wages, for
the artisans of the land and there
would be no occasion for any one to be
thrown out of employment.
But the effect Of capital is to create a
great demand at one time for laborers,
and to reduce the demand at another
time. And this creates large mass of
floating laborers, who are utterly depend
ent upon the vagaries of capital for sub
sistence. Without capital they would
not exist as body, but would have re-
mained in their proper condition. They
are entirely unnecessary, as a class, to
society. And capital deserves no credit
for giving them now and then something
to do by means of which they keep soul
and body together; but it rather should
be blamed for creating such class in
the first place. E.-sa..a ~ r1
The influences of capital, the luxury
and extravagance of the rich, the glitter
and glare of the cities, and the burdens
which rest upon the producers on ae-
count of these idle classes, make them
discontented with their lot, and induce
them to forsake their farms and swell
the throngs in the cities. And once
there, if they are unable to live honestly
they will live dishonesty.
These large cities are unnatural and
unnecessary; and they have bad in
fuences upon the morals of society.
Just.so long,as we have these aggrega-
tions of capital, and these large manu-
featuring establishments, we will have
these conflicts between labor and capital.
The selfshness and greed, the power
and influence of one class, will continu-
ally work evil to the interest and we'll
being, and to the rights, as we'll, of the
other class.
Then let us manufacture nearer home;
as near home as we can. Let us have as
few middlemen as possible; for they all
have to be supported. Let US scatter
our artisans among us as much as posi-
BILE, and they will be equal and inde-
pendent with the rest of US. Let us do
away with the necessity of great cities,
by decreasing trade.
Let US have no trade, except for such
things as we cannot possibly make or
obtain among ourselves; let US have our
village millers again; let US see the jolly
Independent village cobbler take the
place of the pampered shoe merchant
and manufacturer, and his paupered en-
slaved workmen; let us have the village
tailor, with all his oddities, in place of
the rich clothing manufacturer and his
crowd of pale.faced women who work
from morning till midnight for the means
of, bare existence.
