takes IN the past, but claimed that these
errors had been exaggerated by their ene-
mics. Denouncing violence and An
archists, he exclaimed. I" He is true
Knight of Labor, who with one hand
clutches anarchy by the throat and with
the other strangles monopoly" a phrase
that should be deeply craven on the
memory of every laborer.
The comparison made by Mr.. Powderly
between the slavery destroyed by the war
and the slavery of modern society under
monopoly may appear to the supporters of
monopoly like the wild raving of COM
munist. But the people know that the
language was none too strong, that the
operations of monopoly though quiet, and
under the semblancc of law and order,
have, as their ultimate result, degrading
of all who are not very rich to poverty as
miserable as slavery, and an elevation of
the few~wino have great wealth, to riches
and power far greater than Eastern despot
ever dreamed of.
This shadow of slavery may only fallupon
us from the distant future, but unless the
people rouse themselves before it deepens
into impenetrable night, before the gold of
monopoly has stifled the voice of he ballot
the substance of the shallow will fall upon
our child en- and true liberty in America

International Commerce.

One of the great questions that is becom-
ing more and more prominent in the dis
cu@ion of public affairs is that Of interna-
tional commerce in its relation to the thriv-
ing republics that live to the south of the
United States. These latter have been too
long neglected by federal legislators, and it
IL pleasure to note that this supine rela-
ton Of our own to these sisters republics is
not to forever continue. The bill intro
duced In the Senate on March 2 last pro-
vided for joint celebration by the sixteen
1meffcan republics on March 4, 1889, of
the one hundredth anniversary of the
American republic. Besides subserving a
patriotic end, this celebration will draw
nearer to this country those sister common
wealths whose trade should naturally be
diverted into American channels.
Our annual manufactures in 1880 amount
ed to more than five billions of dollars, and
only two per cent. of these were sold in for.
eign markets. In other words, though
there are 1900, 900 900 consumers in the
markets Of the world, 55,0O0,OOO in this
country consume 9S per cent. Of our pro.
ducts.
Thisis not as it should be, and any effort
to take a step towards the encouragement
OF a larger field for American products,
should be eagerly hailed by all progressive
citizens. The fifteen republics that lie to
the south of the United States, import an.
nually from all foreign countries, s475 ,O6l, :
600, of which the United States only fur
nish s77 ,l4l 900. That is, we supply only one
sixth of the demand, whereas five-sixth.
would be the more proper ratio.
This is fruitful subject for the mex
Democratic Congress to carefully consider

Tbs Cause OF Credulity.

The newspapers have been moralizing
latsly over the credulity Of the people who
believed in Virgins and looked for the up
Gsk*ing Of the world at the close of Septem-
ber. We hear great deal OF denunciation
Of superstition and much railing at the
weakness of people who permit themselves
10 be alarmed by prophecies in these days
0f enlightenment. Perhaps we have no
great occasion to boast of our enlighten-
ment. Doubtless If we were wise we would
not be superstitious and it is because We
know 30 little that we apprehend SO much.
The matter of these earthquakes illus
tratos the condition of things very
clearly. They are mysterious to US al
together. We do not know their cause,
and our men of science, fruitful as they
generally are of theory, show themselves
unable to give plausible origin for these
vibrations. Virgins comes along with his
declaration about the conjunction of til.
planets and his prophecy of further com.
motion. There is no reason why he should
BE- believed, save that he is a
man with positive opinion, and it is
natural for men without opinions to fall in
behind leader with them.
And IL Virgins be crank and a hum.
bug, is he any the less qualified to be a
leader ? Are not the worlds leaders gen,
orally of this class ? The world is not run
90 much by men of sense as by men OF
force and gush and agility. Very few
people, if any, govern their own conduc'
altogether by their opinion Of what il
sensible. There are very few indeed who ar
not more or less superstitious. The peopl'
who will not sit down, thirteen alta table
with comfort are in the majority; and mos
persons prefer not to inaugurate their un
dertakings on Friday. There is absolutel!
no reason for either of these prejudices
there they are and there they stay
and along with them an innumerable hos
Of others. Each person has pet set, ex
clusively his own, which he cherishes in Sc
cret and obeys implicitly.
It is just because we realize that W.
know SO little that we believe without rea
son. Reason fails. 1t has failed to eX
plain these Charleston shakes. The philos
ophers are dumb before it, save the maj
who thought we would be dumb enough
to believe that it was the slipping of tn
Alleghenies into the sea. When sciencl
asks us to credit such stuff we are free t,
believe what we please and to swallow
though be blows us up monthly.

When Judges Disagree.

As will be seen elsewheA, our judges are
at loggerheads on the - sn of allowing
the Bird-in-Hand turnpike company to
erect gates and charge toll over public
road that had been duly and legally opened.
Judge Patterson is willing to grant this
privilege and Judge Livingston dissents.
Plain people will agree with Judge Liv-
ingston in the stand he has taken that a
turnpike company cannot, without express
charter authority, seize legally opened
public road and force the people to pay toll
for using it.
While the judges thus dissent, things
must remain IN statu quo. Let them at
once call in an outside judge to settle this
issue, and avoid the snarl into which the
