Yes, we agree with the Tribune
that 1t is easier to appeal to class
prejudice than to the common sense
of the community. This explains
the Tjbune's "argument. But
will the orudite economist OF our
Chicago contemporary tell US who
compose the communicative useful
workers we have just enumerated or
the capitalists who work so hard
looking for consumers to consume
other peoples products?
And, by the way, who is it that
recognizes and appeals to the com

THE WAGE SYSTEM.

The produce OF labor constitutes the natural
rec1mpenSe or wages Of labor ADAM SMITH.
Smith is surely an authority worth
quoting as a.friend of the present system.
The single-taN advocates lay particular
stress upon his teachings. and the Atkin-
son school quote him as the Iawgiver
of the present dispensation of political
economy. But the wage system is not
only misunderstood, but wilfuly mis-
represented BY opponents of socialism.
1t is asserted that wage workers have
freedom to enter into a contract with
their employers, the returns to be paid
to them being the basis of the contract;
therefore wages are the legitimate re-
turns of free, legal contract. There
fore" says the ChIcago Tribune, every
industrial business is a partnership be
tween capital and labor, each side hav-
ing full freedom to enter into the con-
tract"
Is this true: Is there any freedom on
the part of the laborer: The primary
source of all production-land, is not in
any degree under his control. The en-

SOCIALISM IN ENGLAND.

Mr.. William Clarke, a well known
advocate of what he calls rational So
cialism, has recently written a paper
on the progress made by political
socialism in England during the last
twenty-five years. If this authority
is to be trusted-and he certainly
brings a large amount of facts to
support his ACKNOWLEDGMENT has
made in the period referred to a
greater progress in the direction of
socialism than any other country.
There have been no revolutionary
outbreaks such as have taken place
IN France, and would have taken
place IN Germany if not suppressed
by military force. But Mr.. Clarke
maintains that this is due to the
progress made toward socialism in
England and to the want of progress
in these other countries. He asserts
that the Manchester economic school
which supported Mr.. Golden in his
free trade propaganda, and which
has always been in direct opposition
to socialism, has been steadily losing
ground since the death of Lord
Palmerston. The basis of this
school was the right of Unrestricted
competition, or, rs it is usually
termed, the lajSSez taire doctrine.
This theory, II 1t We're carried to its
logical conclusion, would not allow
the government in any way to inter-
fere with the business of a country.
Each individual would have the
right to make such arrangements
and contracts as seemed to him good,
and if he suffered thereby it would
be loss for which no one was re-
sponsible but himself. Mr.. Clarke
points out that, in spite Of the ire
mendous influence in the Liberal
Party Of the manufacturers of the
Manchester school, legislation in the
English Parliament has been con-
tlnuously in opposition to their the
cries. 4 Possibly Mr.. Clarke
may be Over-sanguine in his fore
casts of future parliamentary action
IN England, but that the tendeucy is
in the direction he Indicates does not
odmjt Of dc@jol. 1t is equally 50 in
our own country, though to a much
less marked degree, and the reason
that he would give is that on indus
trial questions our people are a long
way behind their English cousins,
and are disposed to copy the re-
forms which the latter bring about
rather than originate reforms of
their own. This has been our Gus
tom from the very first, and the for
nation of trades unions, the impos-
ing of limitations upon the hours of
work, defining the liabilities of en-
ployers, and numerous other reforms
of similar character, have been
with us merely local adaptations of
methods which have been invented
and applied in England. Boston

TACKLING" SOCIALISTS.

The socialist agitation now going
on in Chicago and attracting the
attention Of large circle of citizens
who are not all manual wage work
ers, has led some OF the daily papers
to discuss social econony after a
fashion. The evident tendency Of
an editorial in the IribNHe of the
18th inst. captloned " Profits come
Out Of the Consumer Rather Than
Out of the lIaborcrs,' to misrcprc-
sent socialist reasoning and preju-
dice fair-mindcd people is so plain,
and withal so amuslngIy and obvi-

can hard y resist a rosculng grasp.
Can it be that the 7ribune cor
recty gauges the intelligence Of its
readers when it serves them with
such wild romance as this?-
"The socialists see as clearly rs those
who disagree with them, that men are
not created equal. They admit that
they are born physically and mentally
different. Some are weak and others
are strong. Some healthy, others sickly.
Some are brainy and others are not.
Some are naturally honest and benevo-
lent--others just the opposite. But the
socialists do not wish the strong in body
and mind to reap the full advantage of
these endowments, For they proceed
on the hypothesis that about all that
may be gained by the men possessing
them is taken from their fellows. If a
muscular workman makes more than a
weakly one, the former has it is claimed
taken more from the common fund than
his share, and has therefore left less tOl

AN ARTISTS OPINIONS.

Unlike many artists, Verestchagin
the Russian painter, pays some at
tcntlon to politics and sociology, and
in the "Sccond Appendix to the
Nercstchagin Exhibition" New
York, he pictures the condition of
society IN a manner quite az realistic
as his paintings, with one or two
most pal pable errors, however. For
instance, in relating conversation
he had with the late General Sko-
belief, he makes the egregrous er-
ror Of confounding socialists with
anarchists and gice versa, and in one
passage he says that of they Social
lists and anarchists, whatever he
ConCciyes such to be) ever come into
power you, with your strategic pow
er, and |, with my pictures, will be
shelved Immediately Possibly, in
saying this, erestchagin was merely
sacrificing his profession for the sake
Of destroying the military "strate-
gist, for the artist certainly must
have known that it is only through
Il system that would enable the peo-
pie to own and appreciate works Of
art that art can best flourish. He
must know that the artists Of to-
day paint for sale rather than for
the sake Of real art and its good in
tluences. The exceptions only prove
the rule. Yes, 1t must be that the
artist was playing Samson IN u mild
way, without, however, expecting to
be buried beneath the ruins of the
temple he essayed to destroy.
Further on we read in his cap
pcndix':
60 But look here, you representative
of art, might be asked, what are the
tldngs that you are SO eager to announce
to us-what are your discoveries that
would be SO entirely new to society"
"Well, what we should say would,
perhaps, not be news, yet certainly the
idea of it has not yet penetrated the
consciousness of the people. Armed
with the rich, varied resources of art,
we will tell people some truths.
"'Giive up, we shall say to them, give
up enjoying yourselves amidst the illu-
sions of the idealism which lulls your
senses, of the idealism Of high sounding
words and phrases. Look around you
you will acquire the gertrude Of your
mistake. You are not the Christians
you assume yourselves to be-
Those that kill their kind by the hun
dred thousand are no Christians"
And yet it is to these same people
who "klll their kind by the hun
dred thousand that the artists de-
pend upon to-day for patronage;
whereas under Socialist system it
would be the people who could and
would acquire taste for and desire
the best that at could afford. The
ancient Greeks were an approximate
example Of what might be with So

ITtOhHe, tnlnkS ne knows more
about political economy than Pro-
lessor Garside, why don't he take
advantage Of a fair opportunity to
crush the Professor in a public de-
bate? Doubtless the "republican'
leaders of Porkopolis could succeed
in prevailing upon the managers of
tn" great Auditorium TO let them
have the use of it for such a good
purpose. But we are convinced
that none of the bourgc0iS "rcpubli-
can" critics and orators dare risk
such an encounter.
An active interest is taken by
members Of the international Typo
graphical Union in the prospective
appointment Of public printer for
the Government Printing Office.
Instead, however, of using their
main efforts to convince the public
that the printing business of the
government should be carried on by
the printers, they are endeavoring
to influence the President-eleCt of
these United States to appoint Il
member of their organization to the
Office. This would not be 50 bad as
temporary demand if they but con-
sstently Contended for the more
important principle. Under q IA
tlonal system the printers could elect
their most competent men for such
positions, and probably would if
such officers were not invested with
"patronage' powers, as at present.
We pity the man or woman who in
cessantIy labOrs with ,hard facts and
never enjoys the poetry of some beauti-
full conception. When weary with toll
and drudgery, how pleasant it is to be
lifted above the dull prose of our tread
mill existence and bask in the sunshine
of some poetic conception from fanCy's
realm? Refreshed by its enthusiasm
and loving kindness, we return to cur
allotted tasks and work more heartily,
for an hours enjoyment of Ideal Life
Industry,
The poor devils digging in the
bitches, and their sisters at the sew
ing machine or in the scullery will
appreciate such pity. They are
laboring with hard facts. Still many
of them would be better off if they
did not waste their time with
bright conceptions from fancy's
realm when they have a day off.
A little more labor with the hard
facts Of their condition might be of
vastly more benefit than poetic fan
tasms.
Mr.. II. 0. Pentecost in his TweH-
tieth century says it is both i'll. tenn
pered and untrue to say that the
socialist movement is pestcred with
anarchist cranks and crack
Drained fools, as we remarked a
week or two ago. Apologist Edward
Atkinson likens anarchists to bull
dogs with confused ideas. Mr.. Pen
tecost, thereupon, in what might be
considered a demagogic manner by
less charitable people than those
now looking at him, announces that
"the high priest of capitalism and
the editor of the ADVOCATE are in
practical agreement upon one point,
at least PShaw capitalists and
socialists agree in many things in the
same manner-they think square
meal the ''proper caper' whey they

Mr.. Pentecost admiration for the
singIe-taN idea and his confusion as
to socialism and anarchy, are consis-
tent and natural--under the cir
