tfy any general measure of prohibi-
ton.
The above, then, is what | have
termed the principle of limitation
Of the coercive rights Of all major
tiles, however enlightened. When
they oyerstep these limits, whether
at the bidding Of within or foolish
panic or what not, the minority or
the individual has the right and the
duty of resisting 1t, the efficacy of
the means to this end being the only
test of their justiriability. On the
other side of this clear and distinct
line, on the contrary, in free soCl-
ETY. of equals, free, that is, econom-
lcally as well as politically, the will
Of the ma orlty must be the ultimate
court Of appeal not because it is a
theoretically perfect one, but be-
cause it Is. for reasons before given,
the best available.
The practical question finally pre-
sents itself, What is the duty of
the convinced Socialist towards the
present mechanical majorlty-say of
thu English natlon-a majority
mainly composed of human cabbage
stalks, the growth Of the suburban
villa and the slum respectively?
The answer is, Make use of it where
ever possible without loss of prln-
ciple, but where this is not possible
disregard it. The Socialist has a
distinct aim n view. If he can
carry the initial stages toward It's re-
alizatlon by means Of the count-of-
heads majority, by all means let
him do so. If, on the other hand,
he saw the possibility of carrying a
salient portion of his program by
trampling on this majority, by all
means let him do this also. Such a
case, though extremely improbable,
is just barely possible, as for in
stance, supposinS Social Democracy
triumphant in Germany before other
western countries were ripe for the
change Of their own initiative. 1t
might then be a matter Of life and
death for Socialist Germany to fore
stall a military and economic lsOla-
ton in the face of reactonary Eu-
ropean coalition by Immediate &C
ton, especially against the strong
hold of modern commerclalism.
Should such an invasion of the
country take place, 1t would be the
duty Of every Socialist to do all in
his power to assist the invaders to
crush the will of the count-of-heads
majority of the people of England,
knowing that the real welfare of the
latter lay therein, little as they
might suspect it. The motto of the
Socialist should be the shortest way
to the goal, be it through the votes
or through the skulls of the major
ity. AS has often been said before,
and said with truth, every successful
revolution in history has been at
least initiated by an energetic mi
nority acting in opposition to, or at
least irrespective of, the inert mass
constituting the numerical majority
in the state. And it is most prob
able it will be so again. Be this as
it may, the preaching of the cultus
of the majority in the modern State
is an absurdity which can only for q
moment 60 down with the Parlia-
mentary radical who is waIlowing in
the superstitions of exploded Wing
gerry.

QUEER FRIENDS.

In pamphlet recently issued un-
der the 0QiS Of the American FED
GRAFTON OF Labor by It's president,
there appears an article on 'rradcs
Unionism" by an English writer,
which concludes by saying:
Grades Unonism, then has great
future before it. Its ultimate result can
not be otherwise than to convince both
employer and employed that. they are
the trucst friends, each of the other, for
each derives his revenue from the
other
In view of the prospect that trades
unionism-re referring, Of course, to
trades unionism rs obvlousl y con
ceived by the writer quoted-wlll
hardly last longer than the capital
lstlc competitive system, the future
of trades unionsm will hardly be
great as regards length Of existence.
We conceive the trades unions to be
only means to an end, but that end
is not to Convince both employer
exploiter and employed the ex-
plolted) that they are the truest of
friends" Ridiculous!
TO persuade the laboror that he
draws his revenue from the employer
is to deceive him. And the en-
ploycr not only derives his revenue
from his employees, but also, in the
shape Of profits, from all who par
chase his wares.
Employer and employee, rs such
are not friends, but antagonists
The one must get M much labor on
of the Other for rs little wages ~
possible. C0mpetitlON forces tn,
otherwise friendly man to act an un
friendly part rs an employer. An'
it is competition again which force
the employed to sell his labor at
low figure. The laborer does no
derive his revenue from the en-
ployer, as our glib writer 'ells us
on the contrary, the wageworke
loans his employer value-create
wealth in the employers possession
in adrance of receiving his wages
A portion of the wealth thus ere
ated is handed back to the EN-
ploved in the shape of wages, so tina
he may purchase the wherewithal t.
keep himself in working trim anC
support his children, who are t
supply the employing class will
laborers in the future. There is de
cidedly nothing friendly in such ,
relation as that of the employer anC
employed under thu capitalist sys
TEN.
But what is most remarkable
about the pamphlet is that the pres
ident of labor organization of sucl
pretensions as the American FEEDER
alton of Labor should publish sucl
statements rs the one referred to
for it is stated that the work Is care
fully edited by that official, who ha
been wage slave long enough t
know better
Intelligent men, be they employ
ers or employed, must acknowledg
that our criticism is correct if tn
facts are as We state them. In di:
cussing the labor question perfeC
frankness and an adherence to fact
are essential to arriving at pract
cal solution, and we recommend OF

CIVILIZED INDIAN CHILDREN.
A Decision That They are Entitled to
School Enrolment.

Under the Daw bill of 1888 the
children of all Indians who have ta~
ken their allotment of land in sever
atty, or who live apart from their
t'ibes and have adopted the habits of
civilized life, are entitled to all the
public school privileges the same as
male adults are allowed to vote as
citizens of the United States. At
torney~General Metcalfe has given
the opinion that the acts of tho
Washington legislature OF 1865 and
1856 provides tnat an enrolment of
all school children between the ages
of 5 and 81 years should he made
every June, and section 81 makes
provision for the distribution of the
interest upon the school fund, ''as
enrolment money" to be distributed
among the schools according to the
number of children enrolled.
Thus in school districts where
there are Indian children of the class
referred to, they being included in
the enrolment, the amount of money
to be received by that district will be
! increased.

Trade Between Canada and Japan.

Japan is daily becoming Il country
Of greater interest to the people of
Canada. Daring recent years Japan
has made great strides along the
highway OF civilization and is rapid
ly getting into line with her more
advanced neighboTs. Her people are
wonderfully apt al picking up new
ideas and their daily wants are
steadily increasing. The more civ
ilized the human race becomes the
greater are It's necessities, and the
Jauanase are no exception to the
ru-a Ihei- civilization is remarka-
By picturesque, but there are many
respects in which 1t Is not practical.
The closer the Japanese come into
connection with the western world,
tie quicker will they conform to its
customs, and the greater will be the
demand for It's products. The Cam
adian Pacific Railway and ocean
route has done not little already
TO show what possibilities are within
reach in huilding up trade between
Canada and Japan, as we'll Us in
making this route the link in a de-
veloped Anglo Japanese trade. Can

Is demand On the part of the Jap
anese. These are largely the arti
cles of daily use in Canada, such as
furniture, stoves, boots and shoes,
carriages, wOOlens. COttous and
household utensils of various kinds.

tion as be set flowing toward the
