CHAPTER VIII.
KERGUELEN LAND,

As soon as Mr.. Mccson, saved from
drowning by her intervention, lay gasp
ing at the bottom of the boat, Augusta,
overcome by momCntary faintncSs, let
her lead fall forward ON TO to bundle of
blankets in which she had wrapped up the
child she had rescued, and who, too terri
fed to speak or cry, stared about him with
wide opened and frightened eyes. When
she lifted it Il few seconds later ray
from the rising sun had pierced the mist,
and striking full on the sinking ship as,
her stern well out of the water and her
bow well under it, she rolled sullenly to
and fro in the trough Of the heavy sea,
seemed to wrap her from hull to truck III
wild and stormy light.
shes Eoing,-by heaven, she's going!'
said the seaman Johnnie; and as he said
It the mighty ship slowly reared herself
up on end. Slowly-vcry slowly, amid
tie hideous and despairing shrieks of the
doomed wretches on board of her, she
lifted her stern higher and higher, and
plunged her bows deeper and deeper.
They shrieked, they cried to heaven for
help; but heaven needed them not, for
mans agony cannot avert mans doom
Now, for a space she was standing al
most upright upon the water, out OF
which about hundred feet of her vast
length lowered like some monstrous
ocean growth, while men fell from her IN
showers, like flies benumbed by frost
down INTO the churning foam beneath.
Then suddenly, with swift and awful
rush, with rending sound Of breaking
spars, Il loud explosion of Ter boilers, and
a smothered boom of bursting bulkheads,
she plunged down into the mc0sureless
deeps, and was seen no more forever
The water closed in over where she had
been, boiling and foaming and sucking
down all things in the wake of her last
Journey, while the steam and prisoped nh
came up in huge kissing jets and uhh.os
that exploded into spray on the surface.
The men groNned, the child stared
stupefed, and Augusta cried out: "Oh

Here, by the way, is the dan

referred the other day:-"All men
are bound by natural obligations,

from the natural right of every

A Bourgeois Assassin.

PARIS, Jan. 23.-An attempt to
kill Louise Michel was made at
Havre last evening. She was
making an adress at a meeting of
Anarchists when a cur in the audi
ence named Lucas suddenly arose
and, pointing a revolver at the
speaker, fired two shots at her.
She received a serious wound in
the head and the lobe of one of
her ears was torn away.
A later examination shows that
the wound received by Louise
Michel last night is not of a serious
nature.

page 2o2:
"The writer's on political econ
omy have invented a phrase to
quiet the uneasy conscience of the
rich-'the iron law of wages Ac-
cording to this law the wages paid
in any locality are at least what is
actually necessary to support
life there. In other words, the
laborer is certain of earning suffi-
cient to satisfy his actual necessi-
ties, even if he has no surplus.
This would be very fine if it were
only sustained by facts. If it were
true, the rich man could say to
himself, morning and evening,
that everything is arranged for
the best in this best of possible
worlds, and no one would have
right to disturb his digestion and
his nightly rest by groans and
curses. But the misfortune is,
that this famous iron law of
wages is only jesuitical play
upon words. AT the best. it does
not apply to those who cannot

capital we must use capitalistic
methods.
Capital to-day owns and con-
trolls the brains of the world.
1t will be found that brains will
everlastingly beat muscle. Yet
every labor organization shuts out
from it educated men, 1t fears
them with the instinct of the
weaker animal. 1t is as hope
lessly beaten as a Chinese mob
with noisy tom-toms would be In
the presence OF gatling guns.
Keep up your fear of educated
men then, those of you who are
ignorant; it is a healthy fear and
will do no harm if you take
proper precautions, and such pre-
caution may be had as will test
the ability of the best or worst
among them. Keep up your fear
of them then. but open your
doors for their entrance among
you; they cannot open their
mouths without teaching you
something; and while it is prob
able that many of your enemies
will enter, there will also enter
thousands who will be, who now

they make four and a half, to him

And, as the environments of a
man almost entirely influence
his moral, mental and physical
growth, in this state where such
conditions would be perfectly
happy anarchy could prevail and
we would have that sovereign law
maker nature. who admirably ex-
ecutessher own laws.
Anarchy instead of being "an
awful word lurid with the fires of
hell" as Mr.. Martin says it is,
should be that brightest hope of
the purest, noblest and most phil
anthropic minds. 1t aims at the
state when every man will do his
duty to his neighbor, himself and
his God simply because it is right.
We know that in families where
equality reigns and the factor of
force is ignored, other thipgs be-
ing equal there is the gteatest
love. respect and obedience, where
a simple request has more force
than if accompanied by a threat.
Why can it not be this way with
communities and nationalities1
Because there are inequalities
which permit those who virtually
do nothing to absorb such a large
per cent of the earnings of others
as to drive them to the most pitti-
able poverty. This creates a dis
content and force is necessary to
quell it.
l account for the prejudice
against anarchy to wrong con-
ception of the meaning of the
word. Many would say that dur
ing the French Revolution or
Paris Commune that France was
in a state of anarchy. This is
not so. Here was one govern
ment striving to get the control
of the other. Anarchy is signih7
cant of peace, happiness and
goodwill to all men.
Where the noblest and best fac
ulties of man can develop unre-
strained, where all will have equal
opportunities and where a mans
wealth will depend entirely on his
efforts and not on th9se less sharp
and smart, There is nothing hui
man or Christian in making virtu-
al slaves of those whom nature
has not endowed as we'll as others.
Anarchy will certainly come in
the millennium that happy period
which we all hope to see. HUI
man nature is made bad by the
surroundings. 1t IS also made
good under favorable conditions.
Anarchy gives it these conditions.

is offered profits will be too high,
and capital will rush to the pro-
duction of the commodity in order
to make big profit. when competi-
ton forces them down below the
usual rate, until capital is with
drawn from the production thereof.
Wherefore we see that the market
price nuctuates around the natural
price. always tending to return to
il.
Labor being commodity, 1t
may be increased or diminished
in quantities like other commodi-
ties. When society advances. the
market price oflabor will be above
the natural price; then marriages
and births are more frequent, con-
sequently the market price will
again be forced down to the
natural price, often below it. On
the other hand, when society is on
the decline, labor would sink be-
meath its natural price; the supply
would also diminish on account OF
fewer marriages and more frequent
deaths. John Stuart Mill gives a
very lucid explanation of the mat
ter in the following words: "Mr.
Ricardo assumes that there is
everywhere minimum rate OF
wages. Either the lowest with
which it is possible to keep up the
population. or the lowest with
which the people will choose to
do. To this minimum he assumes
that the general rate of wages
always tends; that they can never
be lower beyond the length OF
time required for diminished
rate Of increase to make itself felt.
and can never long continue
higher"
The same great author says fur
ther concerning the same subject
with regard to the fall in the price
of food; The salutary effect OF
4 fall in the price of food is OF no
permanent value, il laborers con-
tent themselves with enjoying the
greater comfort while it lasts, but
do not learn to require it. II from
poverty their children had been
previously insufiiciently fed OF
improperly nurscd. a greater NUM-
ber will now be reared, and the
competition OF these when they
grow up, will repress wages prob
ably in full proportion to the
greater cheapness of food. Ii tht
effect is not produced in thi'
mode, it will be produced by ear
lier and more numerous marriages
or by the increased number oI
births to a marriage"
The deduction we are forced tc
make from the above premises is
that labor is a commodity like
corn and oats, which is increased
or decreased according to the ex-
isting demand.
Now comes in other factors,
labor-saving machinery and COM
