There Is an enterprise projected In this
city Of no little importance to the work
ingmen and their cause, and We invite
careful attention TO II. II is the PROPOSE
ton 10 form q cooperative proht'sharilg
shoe mandatory, in which all the profits
20 in equal proportions TO the workers In
the concern All money invested IN shares
ia to receive interest, and that is all capital
will get. Now this is quite new as basis
for the conducting Of business 1t has
several points OF interest worthy OF careful
consideration. First, the purpose OF the
projectors Is commendabls, It Is proposed
to give every man and woman an equal
show to earn living. Every person 10 10
be paid for the services he can render the
concern but when they come to the &C,
foundations, they are TO be divided
equally. The girl who earns but 81 a
day gets as much Of the profits as the one
by her side who earns twice or three times
that amount, and all because the slower
or weaker oAe Ia woman, and has a right
to live. Now, we like this, and pronounce
IL good. Then, again, II capital Is to re-
ceiye only tho legitimate interest, 1t Ia
lust where the workingman wants II.
There is no damaging influence Of capital
possible, Man ahead Of capital and the
workingmsn the owner Of the wealth he
has created This is also good and Just
as it should be. Again, tits q premium
on industry, sobriety, frugality and agree
able and pesceable workman for without
all these qualities the effort would be
short lived, Again, 1t is q victory to every
workingman enlisted In such On enter
prise, so, then, there can possibly be no
more fears OF capital, for money takes In.
terest, workers take wages and salaries, and
all workers share equally the profits,

The Cleveland Leader says: Senator
Camden, Of West Virginia, thinks Presi.
dent Cleveland will be renominated, be.
cause the Democrats are Of the opinion
that he does what he thinks Is right, That
may be o good recommendation from the
Democratic standpoint. There are a good
many people in this country, however,
who will insist that President should do
what is right"
Tho Presidents conception Of right may
not, in fact, does not come up to the stan
dard Of the majority Of his party. He
may please the Mugwumps in his policy,
which Is sure to displeRse tho party that
nominated him. Senator Camden has, no
doubt, met number Of his constituents
who did not agree With him in his esti.
mate Of the Presidont. They believe he
knows what is right, viewing the matter
from party standpoint, but he fears to
offend the Mugwump contingent to whom
he made 90 many promises Of reform in
the administration Of national affairs.
Even in attempting To tulall these prone
les he has made some woeiul mistakes.
