The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1888-06-10

II do not think so,n said Mr.. Jonas: Eat
least not here. In the west | understand
that the socialistic labor men will support
the ualted labor candidates. Here we shall
probably have no candidates, and shall re-
IRAN from voting. We don't care whether
tn4 republicans or democrats win. Person
ally, believe that Mr.. Cleveland will be
president again, but he is politician, little
different from the others. So are all the
men likely to be proposed by the republi-
cans There isn't a principle anywhere,
Even Tree trade is not principle 1t de-
ponds. Under the present industrial system
we should rather see protection than free
trade, for the good Of the country, but I'M
der good system free trade would come
naturally. l say that we shall probably
not vote in this election. We might. If
there should be big boycott and one or
two OF the leaders should be imnri soned
you would see party spring up in less than
no time. When | spoke Of 1900 men a
minute ago | mentioned not handful to
the men who would unite if any such thing
should happen. AS say, we are working
TO organize the laboring men. The time has
come when they no longer imagine them
selves TO be of the same class as the
rich. They have learned that they
are wageworkers, men condemned
to earn their daily bread in the
sweat of their brows, and to transmit the
legacy OF their slavery to their children
through many generations yet to come. But
If we can ameliorate this by organization,
1t must be the largest possible union. In
that case we would be triumphant. Work
men are beginning to recognize this, l say,
and small commotion would shake an as
tonishing number of us together"
Perhaps the politicians would do well to
avert such connections till after election
time, for Though Mr. Jones overestimates the
result he is not wholly mistaken about it.
New York is queer town, and it threw a
great many votes for Mr.. Henry George
one day, almost on the spur of the moment.
Between the bomb and the boycott the
apostle of Violence, with large V, and the
apostle of an impossible, bloodless war
there is one interesting figure in socialistic
circles here; 1t is the towering form of the
mild hammered Justus Schwab He used to
train with Most, but he split off from him
little over two years ago. That was the
time when the incendiarism above referred
to was talked so much about. Whether it
was that or other dangerous counsels of the
Most party, at any rate they did not suit
handsome old Justus Schwab, who is one
of the most thoroughly honest men in New
York city. Too intelligent to be man of
violence or leader in impossible combina-
tiOns, he stands as a radical socialist who
would not harm his neighbor, and hates to
see him oppressed. Justus Schwab is spoken
OF as an apostle of beer because he keeps a
beer saloon, but for all that, he is a man of
sobriety and good counsel, whose wisdom
land the fear of him may have done more
than the police to prevent violence in this
city two years ago. He has considerable
following, and few, if any of them, break
the laws which none of them approve
The times are quiet now, and the sum-
mer may not bring many occasions for
demonstration, but the forces OF socialism
are not disbanded in New York, and they
will be heard from again.
