A Former nenNer Man.

Steve TAYLOR Is doing good whrk for
the iron moders and f)undrymen gen
erally. Mainly through his exerhons
there have been nearly 1000 men
brought into the FOundrvmen's Associ-
alton. Wages have been reduced until
experienced molders are known to work
for Sl2 q week, and some even lower.
Two weeks SINCE a circular was sent out
to the employers Of this city, stating that
after April 10 thev would expect an in
crease Of 10 per cent on their wage, and
that the lowest price to be paid to Ia
borers would be Sl65 a dav-low enough
in all conscience. During the past week
Steve Taylor, with a ~ommittee, have
been around to the various founders.
and the majority OF tie best firms have
consented to maze the advance. Those
who have refused will have strike on
their hands within a few DAYS. Among
these latter is the firm of Delamater,
whose manager, Robinson, boasted to a
reporter a year ago that he knew how
to deal with labor unions, even to the
shutting down of the snop. The machln,
lists working there NAV also have some
grievances that they want redressed.-

THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
Of This Great and Growing
Order OF fworkingmen.

The alarming development and aggressive
ness Of great capitalists and corporations, un-
less checked, will inevitably lead to the
pauperization and hopeless degradation of
the toiltng masses.
It is imperative, If we desire to enjoy the
full blessings OF life, that check be placed
upon unjust accumulation, and the power for
evil Of aggregated wealth
This much-desired object can be accom-
plished only by the united efforts OF those
who obey the divine injunction, ain the
sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread"
Therefore we have formed the Order OF
Knights of Labor, for the purpose OF organiz-
ing and directing the power Of the industrial
masses, not as q political party, for it is more

The Height of Folly.

Editor Labor Enquirer.
We should petition the government
for protection, and when withheld, de-
mand it, What folly to expect protec-
tlon from a government whose sole aim
it is to institute measures preying upon
the wealth producers! And what con-
summate folly to demand protection
from confederation of corporations in
the name Of vested rights" who have
usurped the sDvereign functions of gov.
ernment for the sole purpose Of exerCls-
ing them in their own interests and for
their exclusive benefit
"The law-abiding citizen is regarded
as good citizen" That depends upon
the law he abides by. If the law is
good he is a good citizen if the law i:
bad. he is bad citizen No good man
will obey a bad law; no b'd man will

of an educated egotist is the worst. His
words are weighted with the influence
of great name; / is ideas borrow ra-
dlence from the glory of former
thoughts; and If his reasoning seems
shallow, one Is apt to believe the fault
his own rather than put it to the test of
critical examination. And so the SEN
timents of Mr.. So and So, OF Professor
This or Bishop That pass as authority
on subject concerning which they are so
densely ignorant they are not even con-
scious of their ignorance
The terms capital" and "labor", as
applied by these gentlemen always bring
up picture of the prosperous, infuen-
tial owners of wealth on one hand and
brawny. uncultured, moneyless men on
the other. They cannot imagine capital
and labor being disposed of IN anv other
manner. Capital" is wealth owned bv
men who do nc labor; labor" is the
muscular strength of men without
wealth. Labor produces all and con-
sumes little Capital directs, plans and
takes the risks, consumes all it can and
holds the rest as power over labor.
And vet to these writer's such disposi-
ton of wealth and rude strength seems
natural, inevitable and Interchangeable.
Still they argue that capital and labor
should harmonic!
Truly they theorize well when they
say capital and labor cannot do without
each other Capital is really the accu-
mulqted wisdom and skill of all the past
generations. Without it man could
commence on the raw material of earth
and dig out some kind of a subsistence :
but it would be the subsistence of the
savage and would be very inconven-
lent thing to do. Capital IN any form
we choose to imagine it is useless with
out the application of mans mental and
physic u energies. They certainly be-
long together Why not place them
there? Why need capital necessarily
mean idle m n, and labor inevitably
mean poor ones?
The natural resources of earth, the
wisdom growing ont of the experiments
of ages, science as applied to wealth
producing machinery, the beautiful pro-
ducts of skill and, the grand results of
centuries of human progress cannot be
rightfully owned, any more than the
majestic vault Of heaven, awful in its in
fnitude, can be owned" by few petty
human beings. Thev belong to human
ity.
Ifanything could be be the 'unpar-
donable SIN" it is the blasphemous pre-
sumption of individuals in claiming, to
own" the grand heritage of the human
race.
The physical efforts of man should no
more be bought, sold, measured off and
ticketed al 50 much a dav than should his
soul, or hat life force within him which
man cannot create, cage or own.
The energies Of man cannot be esti
mated in dollars and cents.
Action is spontaneous if the human
being is free it is impossible for him to
act for himself alone; he needs all hu
manity and humanity needs him.
Labor and capital, as the grand COM
mon heritage Of the human race, belong
together; only thus will they ever har-
monze Never let us dream of har
mony while capitol is the weapon of op-
preston in the hands of few tvrants
labor the slavish drudgery of a disin-
herlted, helpless and needy people

THE LEAGUE.
Some Members Think That n Man Does
Not Reap He sows-sOme Sow Good
Barley, and Reap Bad Potatoes.

The meeting of the League last Sun
day evening was opened by the choir,
led by Comrade Rice singing three
verses of The March of the Workers"
/ he lesson Of the evening was the fifth
in the Socialist Cate chlsm Machines
and Their U-es." Comrade Dr. Peet
responded to the lesson. COmrade Rice
made some very appropriate remarks on
the lesson, speaking of the many ma.
chimes in use and the labor they had
done away with
Mr.. G. R. Elliott was then introduced
to the meeting and in an address Oi
some fifteen minutes length ably an
swered the sermon delivered by Bavard
Craig on knights of Labor versus So
cialism," a, short time since. The
speaker showed I'D the inconsistencies
of Craig's remarks and proved that the
reverend gentleman did not know what
he was talking about.
Comrade Ann Bartlett then delive' ed
a sermon which she said was intended
for Temperance meeting, but that it
could be applied to the League. Her
text was BE not deceived, God is not
mocked for whatsoever a man sows that
shall he also reap" 1t was a good one
and showed mature thought of the right
kind, but it would have been more efec
tive had it been delivered at temper
ance meeting.
Comrade Lennon, The chairman, then
made some remarks praising the sermon,
but said he could not quite agree with
the idea of the text as the poor worked
all the day and TIE drones who neither
toiled or spun got away with the honey.
Omrade Collins also made some good
remarks and said lie could not see the
truth Of the text. He said "the peasan-
trv Of England sowed the best kind f
barley and reaped the poorest kind OF
potatoes"
After recess Comrade John Swank de-
livered a 81 ort extempOraneous address
declaring that the title crank" con-
ferred on labor advocates and Socialists
was good one, and that he accepted
the title. There could be no revolu-
ton in mechanics without a crank,
neither could there be in social advance
ment.
Mrs. Comrade Peet then read very
able and well composed essay which
showed her to be an advanced thinker
in questions effecting the poor and op-
pressed.
The best delivered address Of the
evening was that Of Comrade Sadie
Davidson on Socialism. The comrade is
a howerv writer and first class elocu-
ZIONIST, and her effort was loudly ap-
plauded.
Comrade Washburn stated that she
was about to leave the city for time
and read an able article on Bulls and
Bears which was received ". tn contln-
ued and loud applause and great deal
Of attention.
Comrade Behymer delivered the clos
ing remarks and | need not say how en-
tertaining he was, as all the comrades
know for themselves.

believe that all who labor according to
their ability should have equitable mot
equaD use of all the goods they need.
As, each man may breath the air and
drink the water he needs, without own
ing either air or water, SO each Garner
should be able to use ali the goods he
needs, without owning any.
There are some Socialists who believe
that raw materials" should not be re-
garded as private property. They are
logically committed to the advocacy of
Commupism, for all property is raw ma
terial, simple or composite, and the force
whereby the form or locality of raw ma
terial is changed-to give them a mark ct
value-is due to the use of raw mate
rials, which are common prop 4rtY."
There are many social reformers who
vet believe that all raw materials, like
all manufactured commodities, should be
treated as private property, but who ad-
vocate an equitable division of property.
lhese, the conservative Socialists, and
the community NAV wisely work to-
gether to establish the preliminary
measures about which they all agree.
They first measure to be adopted
shoul / be to boycott the bankers, by re-
fusing their national currency" That
would lead to areform of the currency,
and the methods of issuing it, The
second should be a general reduction of
the hours of lablr. The third should be
cumulative income and property tax
