STATESMEN WANTED.

The prominence attained by the labor
question can be noticed nowhere more
easily than in the attention it is receiv
ing in the columns of the conservative,
ultra-respectable press, which, until
very recently, could not condescend to
notice any such plebeian subject as the
labor question.
An editorial article in a recent num-
Der of Frank Leslies' bewails the dearth
of statesmen possessed of ability to
grapple with the labor question and
solve it as Patrick Henry or Henry
Clay could. Il is forced to admit we
have to-day no man in our halls of leg
islation competent to rise equal to the
occasion and display the qualities of
statesman.
1t is quite relief to find capitalistic
paper calling on statesman to arise and
settle the vexed question of labor versus
capital.
The feeling, heretofore existing in the
minds Of the upper classes, that Naps-
leon would come forth and solve the
question with the logic of bourgeoise
law-and-order bullets, seems to be grad
ually dying out. The hope of Napo-
leonic savior was, to a great extent, lost
after the unknown irresponsible threw
the bomb in Chicago.

MIXED AS USUAL.

But few days ago the Republican
gave 1t out cold that Anarchy and So
clalism have been consigned to a grave
so deep they can never be resurrected,"
1t seems now, however, to have recon
sidered that statement as it says that
"the work of suppressing Anarchy in
the United States is not yet at an end"
The Republican, like the majority of
the capitalistic papers, appears to be
considerably tangled up on the question.
1t admits that Anarchy ID not quite
suppressed" in this countr., vet in the
next sentence, in speaking of the arrival
of Herr Liebknecht and DR.. Aveling,
the eminent radicals, it says, "the7 come
to the United States to endeavor to s,w
the seeds # Anarchy here" According
to this paper Anarchy is not quite
crushed out here in America, and then
it snarls up the whole tangled mess by
stating that the seeds of Anarchy are
sought to be sown by those two men
just arrived.
The utterances of this paper are, as is
the case with all of Its kind, mass of
blind statements wherein it displays a
total disregard for consistency or any
thing approaching fairness when at
tempting to demonstrate that those who
direct their attention to the bottom
causes which underlie the miseries and
poverty of those who labor, are men
who are actuated by no good or high de-
sire to benefit their fellow beings.
The great trouble with the Republi-
can and its class is that it cannot meet
the logical arguments and deductions of
the intelligent Socialist; it cannot with
good sound reason and clear fact demol
ish the claims and charges made by the
Socialist, consaquC ntly it resorts to the
only weapon left those who are on the
wrong side of any question-the "argu-
ment" and weapon Of abuse, misrepre-
sentation, billingsgate logic, and vill6ca-

them, are in the van of the labor move-
ment.
In New York City the worklngmen
have taken, as their choice for mayor, q
radical of the radicals, whom the capi-
talistic press are beginning to abuse and
call arobber." ]" "conspirator," etc, simply
because he believes the land should be
owned. as all Socialists claim it should
be, by the people The fact that Henry
George has been taken up as the stand
ard-bearer by the workingmen of the
largest city in this country is IN itself a
good sign that radicalideas are being en-
dorsed BY the people who labor,
In the next largest city in this coun-
try, set of delegates were elected to a
certain labor convention, of which
seven out of nine were pronounced
radicals. Personal experience shows
that the great majority of those who are
active, honest men, and the ''stavers" in
labor organizations, are men who preach
radicalism. When we consider these
tendencies of the labor men towards the
bottom of the question of labor versus
capital, it seems the height of folly to
indulge in any expectation of peace
until one or ihe other is wiped out.
Which shall it be !?
The Labor enquirer., 1886-10-02
NO PEACE.

Let US have peace between capital
and labor" is the cry raised by labor's
enemies and those thoughtless people
who never consider the exact relations
existing between these two opposing
forces.
Peace Peace between the lion and
the lamb? Peace between the robber
and the robbed? What nonsense it is
to talk of peace when the least examina-
ton Of the case of labor versus capital
will show that between them there can,
in their present relations to one another,
be no peace. So long as money can say
to the man, go, do nv bidding" so
long will there be bitter struggle, but
no peace, between the two.
Almost countless generations have
borne patiently the burden imposed by
money on man, but the worm has
turned; labor means to change places
with capital, and will assume the
offensive and capital even now is on the
defensive.
Labor Is beginning to realize the fact
that it is the maker of everything and
as such is determined to claim aud, if
need be, fight for its own.
Look along the lines of the labor
movement and see if there are not
plenty of indications which point to the
fact that capital and labor can never
hsrmonizs more readily than water and
oil. There is an antidots for every
poison if it be only known, and labor Is
discovering that Socialism is the anti
dote for the poison of capitalism.
This statement may be challenged bv
some even in the labor ranks, but
thinking men who watch the current of
thought cannot help admitting that rad
ical ideas, and the men who present

A Woman,s Opinion.

For many years the industrial classes
have been asking for their rights" etc.
1 quote from a labor paper before me.
Now, I want to say that Just so far as
they have really asked for their rights
they have got them. But how are the
great majority of them asking for their
rights? They are whining and accusing
their bosses of getting too much out of
them. Why do they permit their
bosses to get too much out of them ?
Because they are not men enough to
prevent it, and their bosses know it.
The bosses are more mablV men than
they are. They take all they can get in
an open-handed wav, and grind the
laborer down to the level of their
machinery and why Because the la
borer stands it. The boss takes the la
borer at the laborers valuation, and
gives him such treatment as he bargains
for. The laborers hold themselves as
mudsills, and mudsiIls were made to be
framed on. Let the laborers cultivate
their innate manhood to that point
where they perceive the wage system to
be system of slavery, aud they will at
once rise up in the social scale to the
level of independent men and be treated
as such. Let them quit whining. A
whine determines at once mans posi-
ton he feels himself an inferior. Let
the laborers discover that they have
brains equal to those of their bosses, and
begin to cultivate them. The bosses
could not make men of the laborers if
they wanted to; the laborers will have
to make men of themselves. And l say
this, that no boss, and no combination
of bosses can keep a man down or away
from his Just deserts, provided he is a
man; provided he has developed in
himself that essential quality of man
hood called independence. The forth
coming years will cease to bo SO weary
for the laborers if they will quit asking
for their rights and begin a course of
manhood cultivation that will make
them worthy of the highest rights, and
that, by the natural law of attraction,

TWENTY years ago the mechanic could !,
by being industrious and economical,
raise himselffrom the davs-pay condition
to little business of his own; to-day
the opportunity to start in hie business
for himself has been thrust from him ny
the greedy hand of the great manufac-
turers who make their wares by ma
cninery and, with the help of labor Or
ganlzed on colossal scale. The great
manufacturer can turn out wares 30
cheaply that he can send them from
Massachusetts, to the Rocky Mountains
and sell them so cheaply that he can
defy the small moneved man to COM
pete with him right in the poorer mans
own territory. The man who can rise
from the wage condition in these DAYS
must catch windfall from his uncle or

Speak Out-At Once.

For the Enquirer.
1t is impossible for any Socialist to
read without emotion the magnificent
speech made by Parsons, and stated by
him to have been the gst of what he
said at the haymarket; nor can any
reader have failed to profit by the lesson
conveyed in the careful analysis of the
proceedings given by your various Chi
cago correspond So much for the
individual pleasure and profit reaped by
your subscribers.
Socialists, however, need not be told
that this is no ordinary trial, and that
there is far more than the issue of seven
lives at stake, or the existence of free
speech itself The whole question of
one law for the rich and another for the
poor is brought to the front with a
prominence never before equaled in the
history of this country the whole ques-
ton of the right of the rich to order the
commission of murder as punishment
for what they see fit to regard as rob-
berry. A study of Parsons speech will
show that about third of it was de-
voted to mastery eucldation of this
point. for one am convinced that we,
as consistent advocates of the right to
life, cannot afford to let this turning
point in American history pass with
nothing more than philosophical refec-
ton and resigned shrug5 of the shoulder.
Time slips rapidly away, and while l
have heard on every side scathing crili-
cisms on the injustice of the verdict, l
as vet hear ofno definite scheme to con-
solldate and give distinct public utter
ance to the general feeling of radical
thinkers upon the subject. So far as
know all that has been done in this city
(San FranClsco) is that one assembly of
the knights of Labor has taken up a
subscription for the defense fund, and is
trying to get resolutions upon the ques-
ton adopted by the district assembly.
l have attempted to mark out a course
for myself in the matter, and l state it
simply for the purpose of drawing out
ideas that may result in the general
adoption of some one plan.
A few nights ago was invited to give
an address before a newly formed as
sembly of Knights of Labor. 1t occurred
to me that Parsons speech would ex-
actly fill the bill, and I took the trouble
to commit it to memory. 1t was received
with tremendous applause. 1 then said
Gentlemen, what you have Just ap-
plauded Is the Identical speech delivered
by Parsons at the haymarket, and for
making that speech he has been con-
demned to DEATH" That struck them
hard, and improved the occasion by
moving that,

Resolved, That we call upon the va.
rious district assemblies, and on the
General Executive Board of the Knights
Of Labor, to put without a moments de-
lay all the pressure possible upon the
authorities to compel the publication OF
full copies of the short hand minutes Of
the trial; j; such copies to be at the free
disposition of all labor organizatlo ns, as
the reports of the bureaus of labor sta
tistics now are. .I
Resolved, That copies of these reso-
lutions be sent to the district assembly
and to the General Executive Board.
and that the secretary be instructed to
write personal letter to Mr.. Powderly
calling his immediate attention to the
matter"
Lcannot help thinking that if some
one common line of action we're followed
by all alike, we should rapidly concen-
trate our forces, and be able to bring to
bear the necessary pressure. The first
point seems to me to be the circulation
of Parsons speech and there is not a
single one of your subscribers that could
net learn it by heart If he would sonly
take the trouble. The lives at stake
seem to me worth far greater sacrifice
than few hours study.

A NOTE from one of the comrades in

the agitation line, notwithstanding the
desperate and foolish endeayors of the
police and their masters to crush out
freedom of speech-Socialistlc speech.

hot times here during the winter"
Hot times" it hoped will not be con-
fined to England. The starving thou

Shall live, and oft in story shall her fame
Be told, fabling her home high in the blue
Hills lone, with thought of those who loved

And gave her as dover the circled stars.
And bring ye now their flag with CORY bars,
To be shroud for Freedoms hearse-it, too,
We love for this blood-splash across its

Stand back; she is not dead! They seek to

A fiery dawn shall break and then in place

And arms that toss like grain before the

peaceable, and the right having been In
vaded by wilful violence. is the action OF
trespass maintainable against those who
participated or directed. or, being pres
ent, encouraged. aided or abetted IN the
acts complained Of?
Judge Cooley, in his work on "Torts, /"
speaking Up. 1881 of remedies for the in
yasion of political rights, says: aWhen
meeting for any lawful purpose is &C
tually called and held. one who goes
there with the purpose to disturb and
break it up, and commits disorder to
that end. is a trespasser upon the rights
of those who, for the time, have control
of the place of meeting. Ifseveral unite
In the disorder, it may be criminal
riot"
The statement of the law is 80 obvl-
ously correct upon principle. that it
would be needless waste of time to null
tiply authorities.
That all who participated or who di-
rected, or who, being present, encour-
aged, aided, abett=d or assisted in the
commission of the violence upon this
meeting, as shown by the evidence, are
trespassers, there is not the shadow of a
a doubt, and it clearly amounted TO a
criminal riot, because they did not stop
to ascertain the character of the meet
ing before resorting to violence with
deadly weapons.
The only remaining question is
whether the defendants, or any of them,
committed the acts complained of, or
directed, encouraged, aided or abetted
those who did. 1 think the evidence
fails to fix any responsibility upon any
of the defendants named in the declara-
ton except Brennan and Householder.
The latter was shown to have been in
the hall and participated in acts of vio-
lence. Brennan was sergeant of police
and had command of all policemen who
went to that place at the time in lues-
ton. Householder testifes that the
sergeant ordered them to clean out the
hall. 1t is not at all probable that the
large number of policemen who went in
did so without an order from their su-
perior officer. They all acted as if for
the common purpose of breaking up the
meeting without regard to its character.
Brennan remained in the street in front
of the hall. Witnesses testify that while
there he fred his revolver a, persons In
the street.
Jacob Beiersdorf, who was a manufac-
turer of furniture, employing some 200
men, had been invited to the meeting,
and came; but as he was about to enter
the place where it was held, an inoffen-
sive old man, doing nothing unlawful,
was stricken to the ground at his feet by
a policeman's club. From the dictates
of humanity, Belersdorf gave up all else
to care for the wounded old man. This
was done in Brennan's presence, as were
many other acts by those under his com
mand, of like character. If be was per-
forming his duty properly, he must have
known, and he did know, Of the license
and atrocity of his men. He was pres.
ent, encouraging, aiding and abetting
those committing the most aggravated
trespasses, and he and Householder
must be held clvilly liable for that of in
terfering with and breaking up the
meetlng-the former for having di
rected it, and the latter for participate
ing IN the act. The other defendants
are found not guilty.
