or both the old parties, if workingmen
only make up their minds to do it.
1t will be seen that our young
friend has not yet learned the lesson
of experience that "co-operation with
the class enemy is a drlusion.' - The
man of principle will never wear the
livery Of shame; and the very fact
that worklngman is still member
of either Of the old corrupt capital.
lst-controlIed parties is of itself suhi-
cIent to impeach his intelligence, at
least; and the election of such Il per-
son could not well be considered u
ylctory-lt would at best be COM
promise, and a sorry one ut that, for
the men who serve Organized Labor
and bear the brunt of the battle with
the champions of Capital must be
made of sterner material than enters
INTO the composition of the compro-
mlser and the political trader.
But. Notwithstanding the lessons
OF experience, the LudependeM (D
says:
"lf workingmen will only act in their
parties, or with whatever party they can
get the most from, the majority of the
next legislature will be labor men"
If there is any lesson that ought to
be thoroughly impressed upon the
mind of the observer, it is that con-
certed action is necessary for sue
cossful movement. Unfortunately,
those Workmen who remain in the
old parties are not capablco of Judging
what is good for them, for they are
blinded by party prejudice, and, in
stead of presenting n solid front
against Capital, they are arrayed
against each other to.the advantage
of the common enemy.
Away, then, with the fallacies and
sophistries of the old parties and
their methods. If workingmen are
not intelligent enough to see that
continued allegiance to the rotten
parties means continued slavery,
then let them suffer and learn.
But welcome the day when the
workers, intelligent and brave, free
and independent, resolve to act in
opposition to both the corrupt par
ties, and the knaves and fools that
compose them.

BEECHER IN LONDON.

Our respectable English dissenters
evidently thought that they were
doing good stroke Of business when
they imported Ward Beecher and his
lectures, but it is questionable wheth-
er he will be such a grand success as
they anticipated. His first meeting
at Exeter Hall was decidedly flat,
although his subject, "The Reign
Of the Common People, should have
been enough to completely inspire
him. But Beecher is like all other
middle-class orators, here and in
America ca-he cannot see that the or
dinary religious-radical ideas about
the Common l cope are played
out, and he therefore devoted him
self 10 g g!3fiiieation Of off the happy
state of American citizens to-day,
who have been trained in those ideas,
but who, with all Difference to Henry
Ward, are rapidly escaping from
them. 1t is an almost audacious i'm
pertinence for Mr.. Beecher to come
over here and denounce Socialism.
1t could not have escaped his notice
that even by his five shilling and
half-crown audience his denuncia-
tions were received with but faint
applause. London Justice.

INDEPENDENCE, NOT CON-
PROMISE.
To Abolish Wage.Slayery-" Fair
Share"-LessOns Taught by EN.
nce--lndependent in
Name - Welcome TO
Honest Politics.

There is papcrpublished in New
Britain called the independent, which
to all appearance is labor paper
at least as far us the two inside pages
of it are concerned. 1t publishes
the platform of the X. of H., and
editorially advocates the organization
of Labor and insists upon ''the abo-
lltion of the present system, and the
establishment of cooperative sys-
TEN that will give to the producer
fair share of the wealth he produces.
And, adds The editor in an article
last week, "No more should be asked,
and no less accepted"
We wonld deal more justly with
the editor Of the independent by per-
mitting him to keep all the wealth
produced by him, at the same time
acknowledging the right of society
to demand from him his just share
of contribution towards the maintcn-
ance of society to which he is indebt-
ed for life. Such conditions might
prevail after ''the abolition of the
present system and the establishment
of co operative system The de-
sire to abolish the present wage sys-
tenn is becoming more general, as the
people grow to realize that they are
being robbed under it's workings
they create wealth and someone else
possesses it. The editor of the Mde-
pendeW seems to agree to this.
Now, one of the obstacles in the
way out Of the dilemma has been
that workingmen were divided in
opinion as to the means to be used,
that is,where they had any opinion at
all. Experiments have been made
in various directions; disappoint-
ments have resulted, and experience
also. One of the lessons forced upon
the workingmen is the necessity for
organization; another is education;
another, concerted action. Organi-
zation brings lis together, and Gre
ates interdependence. Education
brings us knowledge; and We dis
cover causes, and calculate effects;
we become convinced that what has
caused defeat in the past will in all
probability cause defeat in the future
if persisted in; We begin to recognize
a difference in the meaning of words
and phrases; we have discovered that
what we imagined was victory, in
reality proved to be defeat; we have
learned that cooperation with the
class enemy is delusion; that in
order to control Industrial y that is,
to be able to decide what Is u "fair
share" and enforce the decisiOR-we
must control politically, we must
have the power, the wealth and the
authority of government in order to
establish cooperation and abolish Il
wicked and dishonest system of legal
lied robbery.
This brings us to the consideration
of our young friend, the iadePealeat,
again. 1t says:
"To form all independent party, in the
coming election, is To invite defeat.
One would expect different Ian
guage from a paper bearing the name
-Iadependent Let us see, however,
what, in the opinion of that paper
would ''invite' victory;

men of their own to make laws, and it
matters little what political tag they
wear. Labor men can be elected in either
