Why American Girls should Give Thanks for Being Born in This Country.


 A somewhat extravagant speaker once declared that he considered the duty of every American born citizen to thank God, night and morning. that he had been born in this country. If he had said every woman, he would have been nearer the truth.
 There Is no country in the world where women have an easier time or are treated with more respect h Great Britain women and girls work in the coal mines; in all con- tinental countries they are little better than beasts of burden, while in Asia and Africa they are simply slaves.
 Even in tho republic of Switzerland, no sooner are girls large enough to possess the requisite physical strength than they are set to the most servile work the land affords. The child has panier basket fitted to her shoulders at the earliest possi- ble moment, and she drops 1t only when old age, premature but merciful, robs her of power to carry it longer Sweet little girls of twelve to fourteen can be seen staggering down a mountain side or along a rough pathway under the weight of bun. dles of fagots as large as their bodies, which they have no sooner dHopped than they are hurried hack for others. Girls of fifteen or sixteen can be seen DAreiOOteu ana paIenoauedf lu ftno onStcr- ing rays of an August sun, breaking up the ground by swinging mattocks heavy enough to tax the strength of an able bodied man, and 1t is not unusual for a girl of sixteen to be employed as porter for carrying the baggage of travellers up and down the steepest mountain path in all the region round about
 The able bodied, stout-limbed guides are protected by the law, so that they can not be compelled to carry above twenty tive pounds, but the law does not concern itself with girls. The only limit to their burdens is their ability to stand up under them. And the burden increases with their age and strength, until there is no sort of me- niai toll in which they are not engaged.
 Are not these things enough to mako every American girl give thanks that she was born and raised in this blessed oouR try. .--2olAsn DalM.

WHAT OTHERS SAY.

General Master Workman Pow

strikes and kindred efforts to solve
the Labor problem, has at least
spoken out for campaign of educa-
ton. But we fear Mr.. Powderly's
call is too late, even to save his own
organization. The men who be-
lieved in education have generally
left the Order long ago, together
with many Of those who needed that
education. first of all else. However,
the advice is better late than never,
and if there is hope left that the
scattered members can ever again be
brought together, those of them who
were educators might only be too
glad to participate in the new depart

HEROWORSHlP.

So, after all, it is as | suspected: Our

heroworshipper pure and simple, only he
didn't know it, having got a little mixed
up by Unfortunately using the term to
describe all manner Of lickspittle dolatry
and ignoble toadyism. For example,
he asks us who are the modern heros
worshipped by the masses to-day? John
l.. Sullivan, Grover Cleveland, the Prince
of Wales, or anyone else who happens to
be on the top Of the ladder. Are we
wrong in calling this heroworship, ignor
ant and barbaric?'
"This heroworship" forsooth! What
III heavens name have these overfed ac-
cidents to do with heroism or heroism
with them? Why prostitute the grand
term heroworship by using it in this CON
temptible connection: Why not call
things by their right names:
This abJect groveling to such paste
board semblances Of heros as Cleveland
and the Prince of Wales is what CARLYLE
was in the habit of calling "iiunkeyism'
in contradistinction to heroworship.
But to cut the matter short, our friend
has wrenched the term heroworship
from its natural connection as used by
its author. turned it topsy turvy and
made 1t doduty for ''tlunkeyism"; having
thus inverted the term, he could not
possibly do otherwise than read my com.
ments upside down and make me say the
exact opposite of what do say. To
man with his heels in the air natural OBJ
Jects assume an unnatural aspect, ''un-

fiunkeyism another. nor need he he told

PATERNAi. BOSSES.

The United States Brewers associ-
alton, headquarters in New York,
have issued a circular in which it is
declared that after the expiration of
existing contracts no new agreement
will be made with any brewers union
of workingmen, and also claiming
that it is not their intention to re-
duce wages or to lengthen the hours
of labor. Their chief grievance is
the "misdirection and wilful abuse
of powers by leaders in the national
and local unions of journeymen
brewers; and then they come the
pious dodge by declaring that these
"1eaders prostitute their sway over
the minds and actions of brewery
workmen by drawing them into affil-
iation with anarchlsm, upon which
every loyal citizen looks with con-
demnstion and adherence" How
extremely loyal and patriotic these
master brewers are-snd how liberal
also. They don't want to cut down
wages nor make their men work
more hours for less money; oh, no;
but they merely want to keep them
out Of the unions and away from the
terrible anarchists. But We venture
to predict that if they succeed in
breaking down the unions, in less
than SIX months the men will be
working sixteen hours day for less

a different mood; for the question: Was

to: Is Mr. Tucker circulating State So

| defy Mr.. Tucker to find passages in the
book that will modify materially. the
quotations have given, and those will
now give. If he fails to do so, he is con-
victed of inconsistency by issuing what

anarchistic part of the work may be
hidden in the extremely numerous and
copious French and Latin phrases with
which the work abOunds; and which
would thus serve the double purpose of
hopelessly confusing various doctrines,
and showing off, Mr.. fuckers knowl-
edge of foreign languages.
1t is not lone or two passages" but the
whole work that leans away from anarch-
ism.
Proudhon is (at least in this one work.
opposed to Mr.. Tucker in the following
points:
He would make all capital common
property under control of the State; no
one can he exclusive owner of capital.
He says all services are equal in value.
and should be paid equally; every service
is public function.
He would use the existing State to
overcome economic evils: in his own
words, he "woud conquer property
through institutions and judicial plead
ings."-p. l4l.
He would limit the time a producer
might work, if another laborer was thus
deprived of opportunity to labor.
He stands squarely with Henry George,
whom Mr.. Tucker ridicules. Let me
prove it: IF all men have an equal right
to the possession of good land, no one
can be forced to cultivate bad land with
out indemniiication. page 100.
He deplores competition: Now. what
is competition: A duel in closed field,
where arms are the test of right. p.
pei. Or else he favors duels in closed
fields.
Some of the above doctrines are more
despotic than State Socialism has ever
been accused of being. Brush them all
aside as "a passage or two" and what is
left to build anarchy on:

American Socialists in this exhibi-

which we should study. Its appllca-
would infuse greater vitality and
force into our agitation. The dissem-

principles would be accelerated and
the work of education and organiza-

giant strides, and its adhercnts must
multiply if an intelligent minority is

Turning now to astronomical Contra

stunning blow but Mr.. Tucker, in the
act of translatng it, passes over it un-
consciously.
This work is devoted to the discovery
of a formula that shall reconcile econom-
zeal contradictions without destroying
them. Nj. Proudhon finds two elements
in conflict (p 81. One calls itself by
turns royalty or democracy, philosophy
or religion, in short, property; the other,
Socialism, which proclams itself pre-
eminently undrrhicH and utAeistir." All
the new forces are thus Jumped together
as Socialism ; which at the best, is to
be but half of the new system, the old
conservative elements to aid in reform;

is found, not in the exclusion of one of
the opposites, but wholly and solely in
the reconciliation of the two" Proud
