When our scottish" friend of the

claimed from the house tops that he
came here to smooth over all factious

not know what he meant. The Dem

WAGE-LABOR AND CAPITAL.

Translated by j. l.. JoYNES.
CONTINUED.

Before gong more closely into the re-
IatlonS between capital and wage-w0rk.
1t Will be we'll to give brief survey of
those general relations which are taken
into consideration in determining the
amount of wages.
As we have seen, wages are the price
OF a certain COMMUNICATIONS Wages
are thus determined 10y the same law
which regulates the price of any other
commodity.
Thereupon the question arises, how is
the price of commodity determined:
Hy "hnt means is the price of Il contutOd-
dB determined =
By means of competition between buy
crS and sellers, and the relation between
supply and demand-otfer and desire.
And TINS competition by which the price
OF an article Is fixed is three-fold.
The same commodity is offered in the
market by various sellers. Whoever
offers the greatest advantage to purchas-
crs Is certain to drive the other sellers off
th".ijeld, and secure for himself the
greatest sale. The sellers. there fore,
light tor I'll" sale and the market among
themselves. Everyone of them wants to
sell ana does ms best to sell much, AMI
# possible to become the only seller.
Therefore each outhidS the other in
cheamess, and competition takes place
among the sellers which lowers the price
at the goods they offer
But a competition also goes ON among
the purchasers, which on their side raises
the price If the goods offered.
Finally, there arises CumnptltiOn be
tween buyers and sellers; the one set
want to buy Is cheap a, possible the
either "a sell ~ dear H. po,~,hle The

OUR PARTY'S NAME.

Many Of our contemporaries are
engaged in Il friendly controversy
over the name Of the new Party the
Labor Party. "What shall we call
t. is the query; and there are as
many suggestions as there are sug-
gcstorS. lou may call dog Caesar,
and he may answer to the name,
still he will be Il dog. The "Grccn-
back Party baptized itself ON yari-
Gus occasions, utit always remained
the "Greenback" Party, both to
friends and foes. The prohibitions
lists called themselves the Home
Protection Party, we believe. but
when it came right down to election,
they labelled their ballot "Prohjbi-
ton.
"What's in Il name" asks the I'M
mortal bard, Well, what indeed :

have called w the Labor PARTY.

PROMOTED.

After more than Il year Of faithful
effort in the cause of Labor, the
WoEKMEN'N ADVOCATE has been
promoted, and is now in the highest
class in the economic school, though
it cannot lay claim TO being 1T the
head of the class. That day may
never come to the WOKkMAN'N AD-
NOCATE, for there are greater publ
cations by renowned authors that adj
vocatc the cause Of Labor. Still,
our readers shall have the benefit Of
the thoughts Of the greatest minds
upon the all-absorbng subject that
brings us before them, and We are
sure that with the hrI p Of the many
able friends who have in the past
contributed to our columns, together
with the new ones who have prom
lscd their hearty cooperation IN the
future, the WoHkMENS ADVOCATE
will merit the support Of all add
vanced thinkers and workers, and be
worthy of pcrusaI by those who have
not yet permitted their heads to fol-
low the promptingS Of their hearts.
We trust that our many readers
will accompany us on the progressive
course which our new functions in
dictate, and by their active apprccia-
ton of our efforts sustain rs in the
struggle against the most insjdiou,
foes of Observation-Disclosures and
wagc-slaycry.

TO OUR COMRADES.

This and future numbers of the
WoRKMENN ADVOCATE will be read
by hundreds of Socialists who will
form new constituency, and to
whom We send fratcrnal greeting.
The development of the labor
movement has not proceeded thus
far without including in the onward
march thousands of our fellow
workers, while ever in the vanguard
we find the Socialists, lighting the
pathway to political, industrial and
social freedom.
In order to more ctrectually con-
duct the Sorlalstlc propaganda, and
to conduct it in accordance with the
wishes of those who through study
and sacrifice and honest cndcayor
are entitled to and have the respect
of intelligent and thoughtful citizens
of all classes, we invoke the power
of the press, and have selected the
WoRkNENs ADVOCATE fer eur
official organ in the English Ian
guagc.

AS TO PLATFORMS.

IN the organization Of II new party
there is much inquiry and concern
us to the platform by mary who still
have u sort of faith in special plat
forms which are made up just before
election. There are no political par
ties whose platform is printed or
read except during the first days Of
Il political campaign. The platform
Of the party that nominated Henry
George was not 50 much Il platform
rs it WAS an explanation Of the ideas
of the candidate Of the workmomrn
to be placed before 4 large number
Of people who had never read his
works, and who were not in the labor
movement. The members Of the
progressive trades unions Of New
\ ork hardly needed Il platform to
induce them to vote for Henry

In these days of tariff and protcc-
ton agitation and the IAborcr may
well sit down and soberlv consider
the question us to who is getting the
benefit Of all this So-callcd "protcc-
ton" to labor
At the instance Of the coal syndi-
cate Of this State Congress has
placed Il duty of fifty cents per ton
on coal. This is done to '.protcct"
labor and give the miner GOOD wages.
And yet when the miners simply ask
for living wages they are told that if
they refuse to work at the old price
tn" company will send to Europe
and import II lot Of IIungarians to
do the work,
In this case we fail to see Just
where the protection to the coal
miners comes in And this does not
only apply to coal mining, but to
every industry in the land, - Miners

The Central Labor Union rests its
petition for II new trial for the Chi
cago anarchists on the ground that
there is doubt rs to the fairness Of
their conviction, and dlsclams all
sympathy with their doctrines.
Nevertheless, the intervention of the
influential New York association in
the lamcntable affair at Chicago, no
less than the participation of persons
like Madame Dclescluze and Mrs. Par
sons in labor movements in New
York, viii give food for serious re-
lection to many CONSCIENTIOUS and

lowed the Central Unions lead in

The only way to kill monopoly is
for the government to own and oper-
ate at cost, for thcpubIic good, those
great public necessities which are cs-
scntial to life, liberty and happiness,
such as the agencies of transporta-
ton, the medium Of exchange, and
al the facilities of communication,
and TO restrict the ownership Of the
public domain, in limited quantities,
to American citizens only. This
would destroy the food on which
monopoly Subsists. ". J. Leuipr.

We believe that the unjust condi-
tons which prompt the vigorous
complaints Of those men in Chicago,
cannot long continue without caus-
ing such effective resistance as no
nation IN history ever experienced.
We believe that while the power,
seemingly ample, rests in the ballot
to correct existing wrongs. we at the
same time realize the lack Of intelIi-
gence so absolutely essential to wise
and effective use Of that power, and
that the great danger lies in the
fact, or probability, that violence
may be preclpltatcd, the wrongcd,
