Workmen's advocate. (New Haven, Conn.) 1883-1891, 1888-10-27
OCTOBER u, 1888.
TT WAS NECESSARY.

The decision Of the Socialist La
Dor Party to once more and perma-
nently take an active part IN poll
tics in New York has been adversely
criticized by few who are known
TO be at heart solid socialists, and by
many who are in favor Of labor
party, but are not ready yet to ac-
cept socialism, or who, through *
norance, actually oppose the radical
ideas which the Socialist Party ad
vocates.
Yet, what was the condition of
the political labor movement when
the Socialists determined upon their
present course? The decentralization
in the ranks of the workingmen who
80 fondly hoped, few years ago,
that they had finally succeeded in
organizing new labor party,
seemed complete. The "1ittle tin
gods on Wheels" over whom so
much ado was made, had proven
base metal. The corrupting innu-
ence of Capital was too strong for
their weak natures, and they went
over to the enemy, after endeavor-
ing to poison the minds of the hon
est workers against the Socialists,
whose just criticism they could not
face nor answer save by appealing to
ignorant prejudice. But it is to the
men who hold Socialist principles
and adhere to honest Socialist tao
tics that the laboring people in all
countries look for leadership, and,
as is always the case, the weak must
look to the strong for protection, the
inexperienced to the experienced for
counsel, and the layman to the spe-
cialist for information. TO be sure,
they do not always know that such
leaders are socialists, or members Of
the Socialist Party; true it is also
that they have scorned the advice OF
their true friends, and have taken
up with self-seeking mountebanks;
but it is also true that they have had
an opportunity to make comparl-
sons, and recent experience would
lead ordinarily Intelligent workmen
to arrive at the conclusion that mere
notoriety seeking and catch-penny
advocates of the rights" of labor
are not the sort Of folk to follow
they lead their tlocks back into
Egypt every time, whether they take
the "free trade" or the tariff
trails, both of which are strewn with
the bones of Capitals victims, as WAS
illustrated in the WoRKMEN's ADvo-
CATE two weeks ago, in a brace Of
columns of facts about Free Trade
and About the Tariff" collated by
our thoughtful comrade, }. Edward
Hall.
As citizens we Socialists believe in
using the r!.izens' privileges and
rights, for purpose. The State
provides for the expression of pub
lie opinion, as far as it may be ex-
pressed through votes for represen-
tatiye nominees for public office.
We have party which stands for
principles, and it is our purpose to
make those principles known. Now,
We may not elect even single one
of our nominees, but when We have
cast our ballots We have expressed al

Foreign customers for domestic
productions are an absolute necessi-
ty to a nation which pays it's toilers
so little that they cannot purchase
and consume their own productions.

The anniversary day of the muir
der of August Spies and his COM
radcs by the Chicago authorities
bids fair to become day of especial
observation by workingmen. In
many cities arrangements are being
made to properly observe the Elev-
enth of November.
We have received the first number
Of The Record, official journal of the
Trade and Labor Assembly Of Chi
cago. 1t publishes the proceedings
of its organization in full, besides
other interesting matter relating to
the trades unions, etc. On the
whole, it hath clean and honest
appearance.
And now we hear that non-union
printers who formed a union OPP
posed to strikes and boycotts are to
boycott the republican party" for
influencing rat sheets" to dis
charge the members of the nom
union fraternity and put members
of the International Typographical
Union in their place. One example
of the revenge of time
The Craftsman says at is quite
the thing now for labor papers to
evolve themselves into sporting pa
pers." The evolution of labor papers
into democratic" or republican"
campaign sheets has been marked,
but that was an evolution backward,
degeneration which will culminate
Iii death when the campaign is over
and the politicians cease to pay.

One of the most popular life in
surance policies of the present time
is the Ten Payment Endowment
Policy of the Union Central Life
Insurance Company. 1t is not only
protection in case of death, but a
better investment than Government
bonds while you live and you do
not 'fhave to die to win" The fol-
lowing letter from policy holder,
a well known citizen of this county,
is an interesting testimonial to this
fact:
RUTLAND, ONO, March IS, '88.
Col. G. Grant, Pomeroy, Ohio.
Dear Sir: As per your request to
know the gain of my Ten Annual
Payment Policy No. 1926, in the
Uuion Central Life, of Cincinnati,
Ohio, will say that the 18th annual
statement shows gain OF 81 per
cent. compound interest, and the
18th annual statement shows a gain
of 81 per cent. compound interest.
This is result entirely satisfactory
to me. Yours truly,
r. H. RAWLINGS.
No more need be said in reply to
the assertions of agents of other
companies that the Union Central
endowment policies will not pay out
as claimed by the company. The
facts show that they do. For full
particulars and rates call on G.
Grant, general agent, at his office in
the Court House.-Pomeroy Iele-
