THAT CONNECTICUT PLATFORM
Continued from fourth DQOe

have controlled the destinies of the
country for many years, have utterly
failed to provide for conditions which
progression has forced upon us; that
they have devoted themselves to class
interests to the neglect and injury of the
public good; that they have permitted
the means of production to be wholly
monopolized by the few to the exclusion
and enslavement of the masses; that the
uniform policy of each has been to pre-
vent reform in our industrial system by
bringing forward and keeping alive COM
paratively unimportant issues The po-
sition of the two great parties to-day
upon the tariff question we declare to be
unsound and illogical, as there can be
no such thing as free trade where the
labor of one man is enslaved by another,
and there can be no such thing as pro-
lection where the enslaved labor of one
country is brought in direct competition
with the labor of another. We there
fore pronounce the pretended solicitude
of those parties for the welfare of the in
dustrial classes as a mere subterfuge to
distract the minds of the people, who are
just beginning to think out for them
selves the true solution Of the great eco
nomic problem.
1--WE therefore demand of our State:
"lst-A sytem of taxation whereby
land shall be assessed according to its
real value and not according to its area,
exclusive of improvements, and to de-
vote to the common use and benefit
those values which arise alone from the
growth of society, that it may be made
improbable to hold land for speculative
purposes, but freer opportunity be ac-
corded for the employment of labor and
the building up of homes.
"2d-The inauguration of a shorter
working day, in proportion to the ad
vance of labOr-saving devices and ma
chinery, in order TO secure to the people
sufficient leisure in which to develop
their intellectual, moral and social facul-
ties. and their share in the gains and
honors of advancing civilization.
"3d-The abolition of the convict con-
tract labor systems prevailing in our
prisons and refOrmatOry institutions,
that the labor of the convict may not be
used to swell the exchequers of private
capitalists while it takes the bread from
the mouth of honest labor.
"4th-We believe in extending the
right of suffrage to women.
'5th-A compulsory secret ballot, in
order that the humblest may be enabled
TO vote in accordance with his oath
bound obligation as a citizen and free
man, and to escape the penalty which
power and corruption impose on virtue;
ana further to relieve candidates for
public office from the heavy expenses to
which they are generally subjected.

USELESS
Lobbying in Washington for Labor
Legislation.

As is well known, the Knights Of
Labor sent committee to Washington
to endeavor to have labor laws passed,
and to keep an eye on the labor-loving
congressman, One was about as diff
cult as the ether.
They say that they thought this year
of all Others would be favorable for get
ting some measure of recognition, for
they calculated that the desire for re-
election would make the politicians in
clined to listen to suggestions from or
gained Labor. But they found that a
political issue between the representa-
ton of the two great parties precluded
any attention to other matters, and
when Mr.. Cleveland advised Congress to
pay all attention to the tariff question. it
had the effect of leaving them in the
cold, while the Representatives and Sen
ators spent twothirds of their time in
discussing the issue.
Perhaps the knights of Labor may
learn the lesson taught by this eXpe-
riencn, lesson learned by Socialists
long ago; namely that it is useless to
daily with the politicians Of the capital
lstic parties, and that the only hope of
the laboring class lies in radical and UNI
compromising opposition to capitalism
and its representatives, while at the
same time they organize politically on a
platform that stipulates a radical change
in the industrial and political relations
of the people. The Platform of the
Knights of Labor suggests sufficient to
the intelligent worker to make him prac-
tically a Socialist in tactics as well as in
