SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Oct l.-Many years
have passed since the erection of the old gov.
ernment buildings here-years that have
witnessed a complete revolution in the i'm
plements of modern warfare, and necessitat
ed a change in the methods of construction.
The Springfield armory is world famed in
stitution, and has played a prominent part in
the annals of military history. Its original
buildings were constructed in the early DAYS
of the republic, and admirably met the re.
quirements of the times. During the civil

New YORK, Oct. 1.-If there is a pecu.
liarly dark and noisome corner of this great
city, any district to which the streams Of
poverty, vice aud crime continually flow,
you may trust the visitor from the west to
find it. Nine-tenths of the men from Indi-
ana, Illinois, Missouri, ETC., who remain a
fortnight in the city see more of its dark side
than the average native sees in a lifetime.
l confess to weakness in that direction
myself. Having spent my early life in the
village, the woods and the fields, there is a
strange fascination in those districts of the
metropolis where six or eight story houses
shut out the brightness of the summers day; /;
where restaurants and saloons are located in
dark cellars; where men, women and chill
dren eat, drink and rest on the sidewalk, and
where there is babel of tongues and a
swarming, sweating mixture of Poles, Ital-
ians and Hungarians, sailors, peddlers and
scayengers, ragpickers and cheap laborers,
with many barefooted people and occasion
ally free fight

OFFICE OF MONEY.

1t should not be the Office of
money to procure service for those
who do not work any more than the
office. of baggage-chccks to furnish
the naked with trunks of clothing.
Its office should be to throw all the
wealth, skill and energy of the In
dustrial republic into il common
stock, from which each contributor
can draw such things as he most
needs or wishes, exactly according to
the amount of useful work he may
have put in. A medium of exchange
nationally constructed and honestly
used can only bring forth good.
When the Cooperative Common
wealth is established its "money"
will be 50 simple that complexity for
gambling purposes will be an lmpos-
sibility. The chief use of money
should be TO obviate the necessity OF
debt. Every man should be fur
nished with a ready means of reqult-
ing, on the instant, every labor or
service he may receive, whether 1t
amount to tens of days, or only to
the hundredth of an hour. In the
industrial republic the circulating
medium will infallibly perform that
office. OR,

who is shrewd enough to See it and
to first take it up. lie is enabled to
undersell all his competitors and to
make + big profit. But before this
particular capitalist is met with the
unfortunate inventor may meet with
so many rebutfs that by the time he
gets a patron he will probably be
prepared to accept anything or moth
ing for his invention. Improve
mcnts in machinery do not of them
selves confer any benefit on the capi
talists as class. They frequcnt-
ly involve a considerable outlay and
bring ruin upon those capitalists
who cannot afford such outlay, and
who, with many others, are Inclined
to curse the Improvements and their
ingenious inventor. The first user
has of course the advantage, his com
pettors curse his luck and in order
to keep up with him initiate his eX-
ample As soon rs they do so his
advantage has gone; and by this
time, too, some other improvement
may have been devised which starts
the race over again, and may put
the first winner into the back ground.
The curse of capitalism is that while
no capitalist desires Improvement in
the methods of production, all have
to adopt such improvements or per-
ish, when one has done so; and each
one is impelled, by the desire to out
strip his competitors in the race for
profit, to cast about for such new
methods. 1t is another eyemplitica-
ton Of the "each for himself and
the devil take the hindmost" doc
trine, of capitalism devouring its own
children. The incentives to nyen-
ton offered by Social-Democracy are
not only grander, nobler and better,

interest, but they are infinitely more
humane and just. II. QuELcH.

BOSTON,.

The regular fortnlghtIy agitation
meeting of the Boston Section, $. l.. F.,
was held in Goldman Hall last Sunday
afternoon. Every seat was filled when
Chairman Badger commenced the initia-
tive address. He announced that the
meetings would he continued until the
end of May, after which time agitation
would hc transferred to the Common
and public squares. Carl fricde was
the principal speaker. His theme WAS
"fhe Competitive System: Slavery in
Principle though not in Form" Mr.,
Friede's remarks were frequently inter
rnpted by hearty applause. Tie said;
Socialists say that rs long as this sys-
tenn of employer and employed in pro
duction prevails, there can be no such
thing AZ freedom and equality. 1t is a
delusion to maintain that the condition
Of the laboring class has been greatly i'm

His livelihood depends on an accidental
chance to find employment, or otherwise
is forced on the road as a tramp TO beg
or steal and live like an outcast, whilst
his family at home is possibly perlshlng
from hunger or cold. Such, then, is the
real situation of American freemen.
Wage -earners are compelled to sell their
bodies and time for so much perday. This
demonstrates that the present system Is
slavery in principle, if not in form.
The sacrifice at Chicago last Novem'
Der is bringing results which the noble
martyrs prophesied would surely follow
after they were slain upon the altar OF
Capitalism. The most intense interest
has been manifested III the s0clallstl'

been held during the winter, and miles
of "revolutionary" literature have been

BREWING BOYCOTT!
THE LOCkED-OUT BREWERS
FIGHTING CALAMITY.
Lying Reports In the Capitalist Press.
Threatening the Men with PO.
lice Organized Labor to
the Rcseue-NO Pool
or Scab Beer.

The greatest of the Spring labor
turmois, so far, is that of the brew
crs. Five thousand men are locked
ont by bosses in New York and Vi
cinity. And it is in New York
where the main battle between the
two national organizations of EN-
ploying and working brewers is tax
ing place. AS goes New York so
goes the country, and the prospects
for the men at this writing are
bright.
The capitalist press IS printing all
kinds Of statements calculated to en-
courage the bosses and to create u
false impression among their readers
favorable to the employers. The
New York Sun of Thursday, for in
stance, printed in large letters at the
head of column, "The Lockout is
ended" which, of course, was a lie.
The men are locked out unless they
surrender to the bosses. ...
The employers organization com
prises about seventy-iive firms in and
about New York, and sixteen trims
had, up to Thursday, made agree
ments with the iourneymen brew
ers' Union. The retail dealers are
generally taking sides with the men
under the pressure Of a boycott and
their own desire to rid themselves of
the tyrannous terms imposed upon
them by the great brewing firms.
The bosses assert that they are
getting along finely, and have all the
men they want; and if the boycott
continues to work as well as it has,
they no doubt will easily find men
enough to salty their needs.
The locked out men are already
threatened with arrest of the officers
of their union, and there may be
repetition of the scenes Of a few years
ago when the striking bakers We're
arrested. TO counteract this will re
quire nerve and perseverance, and
whenever an arrest is made others
should stand ready to perform the
duties assigned by the union.
The strike in Chicago still contin-
ues, Notwithstanding the lying tele-
grams sent east by the Associated
Press.
The trades unions general y are
heartily helping the brewers, both
morally and financially. X. of l..
assemblies, in New York and vicni-
ty have also signified their support.

At 80 per cent. it would eatup the world.
But many a debtor will scratch his
head Us he looks at these facts and sees
that all the property in the State of Kan
sas would not pay back one dollar loaned
by George Washington at twenty -four
per cent, and he will exclaim, "Well,
but don't pay compound interest. No,
you dear old chestnut, you do not pay
compound interest, nor do you live lW
years, either, but the national bank takes
compound interest, for it loans its inter
est daily and it will live more than II
hundred years, too, unless you knock at
the ballot-box soon.
But the critical farmer will come up
smiling and say, 'if one dollar will eat
up State in one hundred years at twen-
ty-four per cent. interest, why are not
all the farms eaten up with the billions
of dollars indebtedness heaped upon
them" This does look like a puzzle at
first blush, but the explanation is easy.
Every one of common sense knows that
were one-tenth of the mortgages on
farms foreclosed to-day it would bring
about a money panic that would awake
the people and set them thinking, and
the creditor would be no better of, for
he could get nothing but the farm, and
the average Shylock can get more out OF
the farmer in interest than he could IN
rent, besides he can scoop in the farm
when he pleases. My good fellows, they
take all they can get out of you, leaving
you merely enough to live on; and they
don't want you to die, for then-theiI
share in the fruits of your toll would
cease. A good mortgage covering hall

"AH THERE" MY FARMER.

When the gentle, easy going farmer
who thinks there is plenty of money in
the country and who is willing to agree
to pay almost any rate of interest, learns
the difference between three and twelve
per cent compounded annually, he will
get up and howl like an old fashioned
greenbacker The following are the
sums that one dollar will amount to in
one hundred years, loaned at the rates
of interest mentioned and compounded
annually:
