he says: "The true policy OF Irish
Nationalist is to sympathlse with
the British masses, and support
whatever may be calculated to i'm
prove their social condition, ut the
same time educating the English
people to the justice of lreland's de-
mand for National self-govcrnment.
The struggle for Irish liberty can
and ought to run parallel with
thorough fricndliness towards the
of the British Democra-
cy for better social existence and
earnest efforts for securing true
economic freedom in the field, the
workshop, everywhere. The policy
you advocate would, if carried out,
play the game of the aristocracy
against both this country and the
British masses, and lose Ireland the
sympathy and support of million
and "A half of voters in Great Britain
who stood bv Gladstone and Home
Rule" If this wise advice be taken,
and the foolish policy of obstruction
advocated by one or two English
Radicals, set aside, Home Rule will
be FASTENED, and England and Ire
land will soon become friendly ma
tons. -L0nlon (Eng.) Democrat.

SOUND ADVICE,

Mr.. Davitt is not only an eminent
patriot, he is a man who takes in a
situation at glance, and is ever
ready with sound and practical ad-
vice. Mr.. Dayitt has cabled an an

The prosperity of the Gould order
had its origin in this way, no doubt,
rs reputation of wealth is frequently
rs good rs wealth itself, rs 1t bears
up credit and assists in enterprise.
We have seen it published again
and again that the X. of l.. numbers
u million members or more. Then,
according to the proverb, every labor
paper should have million friends,
and should therefore become rich.
And yet we can not at present recall
single paper which has amassed
wealth as II result of its champion
ship of the labor cause.
If every person who belongs to II
labor organization would pay for one
paper devoted to his interests, the
labor press of the country would re-
ceive such an impetus us to make it
an invincible power. If II man has
friends enough Of the proper kind
he may become rich in any business
But the labor press does not seek
riches; it seeks but to exist and work
in the cause of freedom. SO let its
friends prove that they are friends in
fact by assisting to build up power
full labor press with good, hard cash
instead of advice. -CratlsM0n.

HOW ADAM AND EVE DID IT.

If it is true, as capitalists assert,
that labor is dependent upon capital
for support, Adam and Eve must
have had a very hard time to get
something to eat. There were no
capitalists to employ them, you know.
But they went to work and created n
little capital, and after they had
done so they employed it to assist in
the production of their necessities.
Their capital never employed them.
Life is drawn from the earth, not
from capital. and men would contln-
ne to raise the necessaries of life if
every cent of money, every bond,
every note, mortgage, etc. were des-
troyed.-LynR Knight Of Labor.

The Fnion, a politicians mouth
piece, intimates that the Knights of
Labor won't have anything to do
with independent political action,
"becausc it would not be in accord
ancc with Powderly's advice" No,
of course not; for Powderly, you
know, is deeply in love with the pol
ticians; he respects them so much
that he don't want them in the Or
der, and the Order loves them so
dcarl y that when their names are
proposed they get a unanimous black
balling. Oh, no don't go into pol
tics, We workers. Just do as we
politicians tell you, and if we don't
get the whole hog it'll not be for lack
of giving advice, and lying to, and
bulldozing the toilers.
The daily capitalist press is glee-
fully publishing articles of most
mccndiary character, and melting
the ignorant to war with Mexico.
Undoubtedly our native capitalists
believe they could squeeze something
out of Mexico vanquished by an army
of laborcrs. But we cannot see how
it would benefit the workmen of the
two countries as much us would a
thororough union between them in
an aggressive onslaught on monopoly
and private capitalism in general.
Workmen would not be benefited
by sanguinary war between men of
their own class any more than capt.
talists would. II there must be a
fight between citizens of Mexico and
the United States, let us hope it will
be between the hidalgos and the
money bags, and not between the
workmen of the two countries.

MISTAKES OF OUR PEOPLE.

Our people have made like mistakes
before to-day. In the days of the English
chartists, and of the Irish repealers, fifty
years ago. the English chartists sent dep
utations to Dublin to offer cooperation
with the repealers, but the English depu-
ties were rejected us persons with whom
lrshmen could not cooperate. 1t was
the same afterwards in the days of Gavan
Duffy and his young lrelanders. They
would not cooperate with the English
Republicans, or Socialists In the Nation
newspaper Mr.. Duffy declared he would
have no bridge built, nor would he build
a bridge on which the English Republicans
might come over to lrt land.

write, that this is bad policy.
advocate a hearty junction of the
tOiierS of ireland with the toilers of Great
Britain. Their united strength must be
directed against the successors of the
land robbers of previous ages.
This is the right spirit, and should
have the hearty appreciation of every
lrishman. Sectional prejudice,
sometimes called patriotism, should
have no home in the hearts of the
toilers, whose cause is as wide as the
world, and whose efforts for enamel

should be international. working

New HAVEN, AUGUST 8, 1886.
TAKE NO RISKS.

There is one thing about lndc-
pendent labor politics that should
recommend it to the members of h.
Dor organizations, and that is that
it does not offer such numerous chan
ces for dishonest trickcry rs the
"pledged politician" plan. We have
always looked upon the fellows who
claim tho have such faith in the
pledges of party politicians with more
or less of dstrust. They strike us
being either abnormally innocent, or
unduly interested in the success of
some political friend; most likely
the latter, for the propensity to dick
or with political asprants to office
naturally implies an exchange of po-
litical favors. Thus, if some poor
devil with little brain and less prin-
ciple aspired to the high honor Of
doorkeeper at the capitol, he would
pay little attention to political prin-
ciples, but, taking such course as
would seem to him to advance his
interests, would use his influence
against any scheme of political action
that would tend to defeat the poll
tician who had promised him assist
ance in securing the much-coveted
and honorable position of door
keeper.
Thus it has been in the past and
is likely to be again, when Organ
lied Labor makes an cndcayor tc
help itself by Independent political
action: There will be found those
who will oppose independent labor
politics--no because it is wrong
oh, no but they will say: Nv,
cant elect our men; wouldn't it b,
better to cast our votes where they
will do the most good; let us &c
pledges from the candidates of othe
parties; let us capture their prma
ries." Anything but stand up boldl,
and bravely for principle, And
Notwithstanding the numerous les
sons of the past, there will be thos'
who with stupid cunning will applique
and chuckle, prospectively over tn
imaginary sly trick with which the
will surprise the politicians,
If Organized Labor is ever to gail
any advantage through the ballot, i
must take no risks with the candi
dates of the corrupt political parties
but acting honestly and above board
must stand alone upon an homes
labor platform, and, trusting to tn
excellence of its intentions and hon
esty of purpose, patiently and tirml
contend for principle till TIE mejar

Editor Cutting, now imprisoned in
Mexico, may have been altogether too
cutting in his editorials rejecting upon
one of Monte2lma's subjects, and may
have shown an utter disregard for the
majesty of Mexican law as construed by
some eNpounder of Jurisprudence on the
other side of the Rio Grande; and yet
Cutting is an American citizen and en.i-
tied to certain rights, NouChsafed to every
mothers son of the soil. If these he not
accorded, our government must seriously
take up his case and vindicate the flag
that waves Ger ~. II is but question

THE REVOLUTION is CERTAIN,


People may preach and protest as
much as they like against force, and
the folly Of using violent methods to
right humanity's wrongs. They may
prosecute those who make a propa-
ganda by deed for a time; they may
traduce the teachers of Socialism,
and argue till they are dumb against
the new gospel. They may depre-
cate the words and actions of hot
heads; they may laugh to scorn the
prophcsy of the idea of the Social
Revolution, but it must, it will come.
1t may not come this month or this
year, but it's final coming is as GER
tain as the rising and the setting of
the sun tomorrow. We know
not what day may bring
forth. The forces may combine
even this year to produce it. Its
coming will not be heralded by sound
of trumpet or drum. Denver LabOr

The mode of constituting the Z.
5. Senate is wholly in conflict with
the spirit of a true republic. The
people should have direct control of
all their servants, Us the most mental
are apt to defy their masters if they
cannot be easily punished. For
more than n quarter of a century
this body has failed to represent the
people, but has been a maclstrom to
swallow up. the demands of the
masses, or grant them in such
crippled and deformed shape as to be
nearly useless, thus serving the enc
mics of free government better than
the people. The Senate has too long
been the tool of the money power
and monopoly, thwarting the will of
the people and building a power in
this country that threatens the per-
petuity of the republic. Away with
the Senate or choose it directly by
the people, as the House of Repre-
tentatives is chosen. Our C0uatry.

POLITICAL ADVICE.

WIN pOllllcS, Lllc very capitalist |
sheets that advised workmen to cease
striking and boycotting and seek re-
lief at the balot-bOx now protest
against political action by the work
men, because, forsooth, they show Il
tendency to practice honest politics
and leave the corrupt parties to fight
out theirlmaginary differences among
themselves.
Says Il New Jersey sheet;
"if there is principle involving suili-
Gent to win IA constituency, one or the
other of the existing parties is sure to
incorporate that principle in its plat
form"
In other words, if the working
people will guarantee to the satisfac-
ton of either corrupt party Il sutli-
clent number of votes that party will
place in its lying platform some
"glttering generality" about the
rights of Labor, and promise ever 50
much before election.
Over and over again have the
voters thrown their votes away on
empty promises; again and again
have they been snubbed and scoifed
at; sold ont, wholesale; despised for
their credulity, and ground down
and enslaved under system which
neither the "democratic" nor the
"republican' parties would even pre-
tend to abolish. And during all
this experimenting and dalIylng the
chains that weigh 50 heavily upon
Labor have been multiplied, that
now it seems onl y a question Of time
when the whilom 'independent
| American mechanic" shall be entirely
obltcrated, and in his place be found
n spiritless, degraded day laborer,
dependent, Respondent, ignorant.
And the same New Jersey sheet
continues in the next sentence: ----.
"Thc only trouble has been in electing
men to office who failed to fulfill the
| ,,lol,,nu 4 tni IN ri iaa had g,iunp
Indeed We fail, however, to re-
call any specific pledge that was
worth the paper it was printed ON.
Oh, yes, there were promises of re-
form, and "the laborer is worthy Of
his hire and "harmony between
Labor and Capital, and platitudcs of
like import. And if workmgmcn
elected to office omen who failed to
fulfil the pledges their parties had
given" we are inclined to blicve that
it was rs much the ignorance of the
