tells them of enjoyments and lux
uries of which they would have
known nothing, pent in the dreary
mill-round of their toiling lives,
had ignorance kept them blind.
Slowly'is being formed that "edu-
Gated proletariat" which shall
work out its own salvation, and
which shall refuse any longer to
act as the basis on which is reared
the pyramid of civilization. The
present civilization rests on the
degradation of the workers; in or
der that they may accept their lot
they must be kept poor, ignorant,
submissive; the culture of their
superiors is paid for with their ig-
norance; the graceful leisure Of
the aristocrat is purchased by the
rough toll of the plebeian; his
dainty fingers are kept soft and
white by the hardening and red
dening of the poor mans hands;
the workers are daily sacrificed
that the idlers may enjoy. Such
is modern civilization. Brilliant
and beautiful where it rises into
the sunlight, its foundation is of
human lives made rotten with
suffering. Whited sepulchre in
very truth, with its outer coating
of princes and lords, of bankers
and squires, and within filled with
dead mems bones of the poor who
builded it.
Most hopeful sign, perhaps, for
the future is the fact that discon-
tent with the present system is
not confined to those who are in a
special sense its victims. In ev-
cry class of society are found men
and women who look and work
for a complete revolution in the
method of the production and
distribution of wealth. Among
those who profit most by the
present are found the most eager
workers against is, and many
whose lot is cast among the "com-
Portable classes" are striving to
undermine the very constitution
which gives them the privileges
they enjoy. In them sympathy
has triumphed over selfshness,
and their own rich wine of life
tastes sour when they see the Bit
ter water of poverty pressed to
their brothers lips. They are
indignant that their own hands
should be so full while others
hands are empty; and would fain
lessen their own heap in order
that the share of their neighbors
may be made equal with their
own. At present the socialist
movement in England is far more
a middle-class than a working
class one; the creed of socialism
is held as an intellectual convic-
tion by the thoughtful and the
studious, aud is preached by them
to the workers, who have every
thing to gain by accepting it, and
some of whom have already en-
braced and are teaching it. In
stead of being a class movement,
it is a movement of men and
women of all classes for a COM
mon end, and the socialist army
is composed of persons of various
ranks, who have renounced for
themselves the class distinctions
they are banded together to de-
stroy.

100000 SOCIALIST VOTES.
Despite the Prison, Gag.Law, Gibhet
and Military, the the Cause Of
Truth Lives.

LONDON, February Sine new
anti-socialist edicts to be pub
lished in Germany will have at
least one effect, that of still fur
ther exasperating the pronounced
enemies of tyranny and strength
ening the growing number of
moderates tn the Reichstag.
The red specter that increases
the chancellor's insomnia is not
of quality to be quelled by
repressive statutes, even if they
are to be such as the Cologne Ga
sette indicates. That paper in an
article evidently inspired, says
that neither fine nor imprison-
ment seems to terrify the social
lists; pitiless and indiscriminate
exile should be tried.
Throw out of the country" it
says, "all who SOW the seed of
these damnable doctrines, all who
are known to be socialists, all who
are suspected of being SUCH"
The police of Berlin and other
cities of Prussia disperse vigor-
ously all assemblages which seem
even suspicious, but in the ada
cent territories, discussion is less
restrained. y
Bavaria and Wurtemberg are
outspoken in favor of free speech
and against the scheme of Danish
ment; in Saxony Herr Bebel and
other influential statesmen have
used language that must have
made Bismarck's'e ears tingte, and
a popular deputy of Nuremberg
said that persons might be BAN
ished, but a cause that controls
a million of votes cannot be
exiled.
In Bavaria the constitution as
sures to all citizens the right to
reside in the districts where they
were born, and an amendment can
only be effected by a two-thirds
vote, which would be very diff
cult to obtain.
Liberal leaders there have called
attention besides to the fact that
the policy of repression has done
nothing toward decreasing the
numder of socialistic votes, but
that, on the contrary, measures of
rigor have caused prompt re-
action.
If Bismarck succeeds in get
ting the Reichstag to obey his will
he may postpone the evil day, but
the Socialists have an ally in the
crushing imposts that grind down
the German workman and peasant,
who see the greater portion of the
revenue of the country expended
in maintaining condition of
things that is neither war nor
peace.

The ranks bave since been filed

their supporters numbered nearly
100000, having almost doubled
since 1877.

business probably occupies not
less than $4,000. The bosses
have. in short. capitalized their
means or money; they have, in
other words, either borrowed
money or obtained credit, which
is the same thing, except that one
exacts more interest than the
other. Keeping up the system of
capital, the bosses also give credit,
charging all dealers for the risk.
This business, which is one of
prime necessity, conducted on the
principle Of cooperation here
limited at, would then lay off nine
teen bosses, nineteen book
keepers, nine cashiers, nineteen
buyers and statesmen. in other
language, save the expense of
sixty-six people.
The business being active prob
ably foots up 100000 annually.
The net profits Of it at oper cent
being $4,000, or 100 per cent of
the capitalized money employed,
or 500 per cent Of the actual
money employed or required in
the business The net profits Of
this business. say $4,000, goes to
the bosses only, Of which have
said there are about twenty; and
let US assume, which is probably
not the case, that these profits are
divided equally. Then twenty
bosses each takes for his share of
the business, $4,000.
Now, one good man doing the
work now done by twenty bosses
leaves as a saving to consumers to
begin with the sum of S47,soo.
The releasing of nineteen book
keepers, each OF whose salaries
will possibly equal $4,000 per an
mum, will save S22,Soo.
There are the twenty-eight
cashiers, buyers and statesmen, of
whom only two or three are re-
qured. Say we remove twenty
five whose salaries are likewise
sl,2oo each per annum. Here is
another saving of 100000.
II now we take the rentals OF
the twenty places of business and
conduct the business in say three
OF them at convenient points of
the city we save here easily not
less than $4,000.
The manual laborers will prob
ably all be wanted in the new en-
terprisc, but will do very much
more efficient work than now, it
being an axiom among capitalists
that the larger the business. the
better disciplined and the more
efficient the laborer."

four years before the Haymarket

Points In the Walker Trial.

Before the trial of the wealthy
doctor many of his companions,
particularly his fellow church
members, claimed that he was not
guilty of attempting to seduce or
debauch Miss Bogen, that the
McGill's statements were false.
But after the evidence was in,
they said that, granting that all
that is claimed by the prosecution
as true, still there is no offense
proven because Miss Bogen was
not deceived or decoyed, because
under the advice of Mrs. Cavan-
augh she knew what she Was
wanted for and had the police
present. Still McKay-the poor
clerk at SIS per month salary

The Howard Lake Herald says that bap-

which the gypsies participated during their
stay i'll that place. Their usual life of trad
ing horses was also varied by a very romantic
fight TO see which of two chivalrous young
men should possess n certain young lady

of possession decided, the brother of the

sister should marry neither one of the con-
testantS unless she wanted to- and that she
did not, and therefore should not. The
plaintiffs rested their case and let it go by de-
