LIFE VERSUS PROPERTY.

Cardinal Manning Is not an an
archist, but a Prince of the Holy
Catholic Church; nay, more-he is
a wise man with duty to perform,
or how else could he speak thus
listen:
"All men are bound by natural obliga-
tons, if they can, to feed the hungry;
but it may be said that granting the Oh J
legation in the giver does not prove Il
right in the receiver. To which | an
swer that the obligation to feed the hun
cry springs from the natural right of
every man to life and to the food neces-
sary for the sustenance of life. So strict
is this natural right that it prevails over
all positive laws of property. Necessity
has no lar, and q StarUing man has a
right to his neighbours Bread"
What more could an anarchist say?
And yet these words are spoken from
a high place of authority. Spoken
in London, too, at a time when thou
sands Of unemployed men are driven
to desperation and starvation for
want of a chance to earn an honest
subsistence. Is it wise, then, to
speak thus in such a place at such q
time? Yes, most assrredly; for the
danger of the situation lies, not in
the effect, but in the cause; not in
the danger to property, but in the
danger to life; not in the despair of
the poor, but in the apathy of the
rich. And if society is to be saved
from a great catastrophy it is neccs-
sary to SILVER and dispel this apathy
by verbal dynamite Of the strongest
kind, that the besotted sleepers may
be awakened from their bed of roses
and brought to lively sense of their
danger.
But what boots it? Small notice
they will take of Cardinal Manning,
for have we not had Moses and the
prophets, Carlyle, Victor Hugo, and
Il thousand others greater than he,
and still we slumber on, dreaming of
pleasant things. Away then with
your croaking ravens, your Cassandra
prophets, catastrophies, revolutions.
Prate not to us Of them. The world
is as it always has been and always
will be. Let us eat, drink and be
merry, for Property is greater than
Life, and the hangman greatest of
all.
1t is well, however, for Cardinal
Manning that his dwelling place is
not Chicago, or shall we say that it
is III with Chicago that it's preachers
are not like unto Cardinal Manning,
but teachers of a sanctifed selfish
ness, who hold like all Mammon
worshipers that Property is more Sd
cred than Life?
All honor then to Cardinal Man
ming, not because of his red hat, but
because, in spite of it he dares to tell
the truth and shame the devil.

TRADES UNIONS AND THE TARIFF.
The question raised by the Budget
in regard to the tariff at this time is
opportune, and it has proven to be a
live question as will be seen else
where by remarks on our declara-
tions.
1t seems strange to us how any
workman engaged in an industry now
under the protective influence can
object to the system because his own
trade is not sufficiently organized to
exact his proportion of the protec-
ton. The ufacturers look after
their end of the matter with their
usual business foresight. Having
secured it they then apply the same
business methods to the other end to
secure the bulk of it by forcing more
than their share from the workmen
on account of inability to resist their
eNaction. If the workmcn were
fully organized under a perfect disci-
pllne to resist these exactlons, fair

ENTERED AT THE POST OFFICE AT NEW HAVEN, CON
NECr1cuT, Az SECOND CLASS MATTER
New HAVEN, FEBRUARY 4, 1888,
DANA'S FAINT LIGHT.

A very old fashioned luminary Is
the New York Sun--so ancient that,
like a tallow candle-light in the rays
Of an electric lamp, it throws Il
shadow. It's editor is supposed to
be Charles A. Dana, whose name APP
pears in print occasionally with the
prefix HIon.' Perhaps there was u
time when Dana was rightly credited
with a knowledge Of social economy.
If 50, it may be conceded that he is
as apt as ever in that line, though
it cannot very well be said that he
has kept up with the times. Or,
what would be sadder still, he uses
his tallow- candle, named after the
day-god, for doceiyng its readers, as
the greedy wrccker of old displayed
false lights to lure the unwary
mariner upon the SCATTERING reefs.
In last Sundays Sun he writes
under the caption: " Employees
Should Contribute to Their Own
Employment" that
Each year only adds to the certainty
that economic laws are thoroughly mis-.
unprecedented by a majority Of those who,
of all others, should give them their most
careful study"
This will quitoapparent rs
we proceed to quote from the SIMS
editorial article. Editors of "grcat
dalhcs" should certainly give consd-
cradle study to economic laws, but,
alas they don't seem to do so. There
may be some excuse offered in cy-
tenuation of the hirellng editors
neglect to express an honest opinion,
but an Independently wealthy indy
idual, such rs Dana, cannot claim
charity on the score of poverty. lie
goes on to ask, naiyeIy:
HAS it never struck employees that it
would be possible to adopt u system
through which they themselves could
become part contributors to the fund
from which they draw their income2'
Yet he knows ii has struck en-
ployees that it is possible to adopt
such system; struck them quite
forcibly, too, for even Dana has dis
covered that the class Of employees
Arc not without sufficient number
Of self-asserting lSlrl economists who tell
them that they already support the en-.
tire fund, and are allowing themselves
to be defrauded of their own.
Whether the economists referred
to are particularly self-asserting or
not, it is quite evident that they
have chit the nail on the head. "
Who but the workers, the employees
as a class, contribute to the fund
from which they draw their income?
Certainly not the capitalists. Their
capita, was created by labor. Ger
tainly not the earth. It's material
is turned into capital and wealth by
labor. Nevertheless, in the light of
these truths. We find Dana's dull
luminary, with Il self-assertion pecu-
liar to childhood and senility. and
the brazen assurance of an old pre-
yaricator. saying:
"Of course since production and pay
day always plecede the market, this i.

necessarily Il labor party, the editor
of the Examiner does not desire the
"porpetuation of a labor party as
such" He does not want a party
whose principles appeal especially to
the working class. He does not
want call other classes" except the
capitalistic class ignored. What
numerous other classes has our
Hartford contemporary discovered?
There is, to be sure another class, if
class it may be called-the beggars.
But that class is continually getting
recruits from the two other classes,
nor is it ignored.
The working class, comprising
both manual and mental laborers,
the trades and the necessary pro-
LESSONS, in other words, the pro-
ducers of wealth, the educators of
youth, and the numerous inter-
mediary workers whose labor assists
in the general welfare, is the class
which it is the especial object Of a
labor party to elevate and emanci-
pate from a condition of slavery and
subordinationl to the proprietary
class.
Where are call the other classes ?"
What are they?" DO they exist in
the modern States?
But, reading further, we find that
the Examiners objections are against
an apparent fault only, for it says
"Another reason against the policy of
establishing Labor Party, as snch, " is
the apparent narrowness Of the circle
surrounding the name. We lay stress
on the word apparent, for it is only APP
parent, not real But what the differ
ence in effect if the majority Of those
whose standing and influence in society
is most potent whichever way that in
tluence is directed, mistake the apparent
for the real?'
And 50, instead of correcting a
misrepresentation born of ignorance
the Examiner would actually cater
to it and adopt Jesutlcal policy Of
reforming the world on the sly As
if that were possible.
No, the WoRKMEN's ADVOCATE is
not captlous when it criticizes such
childish tactics and advocates an
open and homes, agitation for sound
principles with a policy based upon
them. Nor is the Socialist Labor
Party to be despised because it
squarely places itself upon the side
of the workers absolutely and une-
quivocally. The Examiner says the
Socialist Party sis the most bounded
Of all' labor parties. IIoundcd by
whom? The proletarians? No; for
the intelligent ones see in its princi-
pies their only hope, and the ignor-
ant have neither reason nor inclina-
ton to hound any political party.
But the Bsmarcks, the aristocrats
and capitalists oppose it most ener-
geticalIy, and why? Simply because
they see in its scientific conceptions
a danger to "yested rights" and an
end to their rule. They see in its
constructive policy an eternal barrier
to their peculiar ambitions, and they
know, moreover, what the editor of
the Examiner apparently does not
know, that Socialism is the inevitable
new order evolving from the present
social systems. The thought is mad
ness to them-hcnce their fury.
The Examiner ends It's article by
saying:
1--WE trust that we have made our po-
sition clear enough this time

very untenable position it is for a

Notwithstanding the experiences
of hundreds and perhaps thousands
of private cooperative enterprises
there are still those who are willing
to run the risk of trying it, just as
there are plenty of people ''who go
into business on their own hook. "
And they assume the same risks that
are incident to the usual private
business undertaking, and if success
full as business enterprises they soon
lose the character of cooperative con-
Germs and become simply stock COM
panies, employing labor at market
rates"

1t is suspicious thing to find the
saIaried officers of trades organiza-
tons waxing wealthy and evolving in
to landlords. Yet such organiza-
tions as the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers seem to feel quite
comfortable with a chief who is re-
puted to be a wealthy landlord.

Our friend Peter Gibbons has
probably hit upon the truth when
he says that an anarchist is a Social
list gone mad. The term "anarch.
list" might as well be dropped. We
have yet to see one, and that seems
HOPELESS unless it be among the If
responsible. OF course we do not
reckon as anarchists those who sim
ply oppose present laws and govern
ment as now practlced, though we
know that some of these have &C
cepted the ill-ftting name.
