WHAT OTHERS SAY.
SAUCE FOR GOOSE AND GANDER.

SAUCE FOR GOOSE AND GANnER.
Certain newspapers and public
men are always very free, whenever
a strike occurs, in their criticism of
the Knights of Labor or any other
organization which may be involved
in the difficulty. 1t is rare, how
ever, to find any condemnation what
ever of the methods of the corpora
tons with which these labor troubles
may exist.
This is true in spite of the fact
that railroads and mining corpora
tons may be the more guilty parties
to the strike. In many cases such
troubles are promoted by the corpor-
atoms themselves; sometimes to
squeeze out an aspiring rival, again
to iniure competing railroad, and
yet again in order TO raise the price
of coal or other commodity.
This is certainly unfair treatment.
III very few cases indeed is a strike
resorted to by laboring men without
some excuse. The cause may not be
one which would commend itself to
wise men similarly situated. Never
theless, the very fact that these men,
being reasonable persons, will enter
upon the struggle, is proof that
something is wrong, The truth is
that the whole coal region is honey
combed with abuses of which the
public is absolutely ignorant-abuses
which, if they existed in large cities,
would so arouse the Indignation of
the masses of the people there aggre-
gated as to bring the corporations to
terms from very shame.
Workmen's advocate. (New Haven, Conn.) 1883-1891, 1888-01-14

ried talent alone, but because Of the
fact that they could not compete
with great capitalists.
Socialists do not encourage such
limited cooperative enterprises.
Greater than individual capitalists
and corporations are the people
themselves. And the people are
capable Of being so organized that
they can, when they become con-
scious of the necessity Of it, control
production and distribution. This
will neccssltatc Improvement in their
present organization; indeed, the
new order Of society must spring
from the present through evolution.
Competition between individuals and
corporations for q chance to work
and Il market for the results Of their
labor will be a thing of the past
The true cooperative society will
then be formed and the means of
production and transportation, t
land, will be under control of the
COLLECTIVELY, instead Of under control
Of competing, and what is worse,
combined private associations who
take advantage of the struggle for
existence Of wildly competing pop
ulacc.
Leland Stanford is threshng old
straw when he speaks so felicitously
of private cooperation is it possible
that he knows whereof he speaks?
He, as n great capitalist, would not
fear the little bands of co-operators
with brain and muscle and little
capital. But what does he say to the
Socialist idea of cooperation? He
has the opportunity to speak, and if
he is in earnest he will probably do
50. If he is insincere, he will hardly
care to dispute the Socialist position
by an honest argument if that were
indeed possible.

"FENWlCK'S" IDEA OF LIBERTY.
To the W0Ekuen'S Adl,OO1tP.

1--WE honor Liberty in name and form.
Shall we not trust
herr" This is the eloquent language of
"A man who would compel the payment
of rent from all who would exercise the
natural right to sustentation, by the use
of portion of the natural material.
There are at least four natural inalien-
able rights of man that must remain in
violate, or there can never be liberty:
First, the right to life; second, the
right to draw sustenance srom the earth;
third, the right of property in produc-
tons, and the liberty to do as we please
with our own persons and property;
provided, we do not injure others
against their consent.
You say: "Probably we love liberty
quite as much as the great editor Of
Liberty himself" | know he defends
these natural rights Of man. Do you?
You do not, if you are in favor of gov
eminent control of industry, compulsory
taxation, the destruction of free compe-
tition, compulsory cooperation, monop-
oily by government of natures bounties,
etc
The Goulds, etc, are men who have
taken advantage of privileges extended
by government. Privilege is the mother
of monopoly. Monopoly of land creates
rent. Monopoly of circulating credit
creates interest. Monopoly in mines,
tariffs, transportation, creates specula-
tive profits. | am in favor of destroying
the power of government to extend priv
ilege anywhere. Destroy privilege and
monopoly is dead.
The cooperation of a number of per-
sons, on the mutual plan, is not slavery,
but is liberty in every way. Two men
join teams to go to mill and come home
again with grist. Is this destruction
of liberty? Cooperation to work mines,
build railroads, and do those things that
we cannot do, alone, when mutual, is diff
ferent thing from State Socialism.
If invest labor in project, the plans
and rules of operation of which, know
at the time make the investment have
not surrendered any liberty; but when
the State takes control of my labor pro-
ducts, time, &C., giving me what 1t thinks
need for food and clothing, in return, |
have lost all liberty. The honesty of
the officials who would control the gov
ernmental machine, | question now from
the objects in view, and methods advo-
Gated by State Socialists. The operation
of small societies does not involve the
destruction of liberty. Governments
have always been the greatest oppres-
sors of the people, and you cannot give
any insurance but that they always will
be.
Restraint for the invaders of natural
rights of man is the only true spere any
organization of security to life and lib
erty. FENwICK.
