CHICAGO.

Our Wave'ly Hall meeting of last Sun.
day afternoon was well attended The
Sunday closing movement was one of
the principal topics that came up for
discussion. After Comrade HEAVIER had
called the meeting to order, the follow
ing resolution was introduced
when Luther made a demand for
the right of private judgment he acted
nobly; but when he denied that right to
others, he acted wickedly. Similarly,
when the Pilgrim Fathers exiled them
selves and braved the Atlantic to wor-
ship as their minds dictated, it was a
grand act; but when they compelled
others to worship as they did, they were
inconsistent and desperately wicked.
''ReS0tUed, therefore, that the peculi-
arlty of the supersttiOus is this: That as
soon as they acquire liberty Of thought
and action they straightway combine to
burglarize the same rights from the
philosophical-and very modestly call
themselves the better class of people ="
The reading Of this resolution was
followed by long discussion, in which
a great many of the attendants partic-
pated, The resolution was finally
adopted unanimously.
Comrade Hamilton then spoke for at
least three quarters of an hour on the
subject, "Our Unemployed" He said
that men are sent to prisons because
they have perpetrated only this crime:
They could not get employment. "Such
state of affairs" he continued, "shouId
no longer exist. 1t must be abolished:
but this can only be done by establish,
ing the cooperative commonwealth"
Comrades Adams, WJodman, Heaver
and others spoke also on various sub
jects.
1t was decided to hold general busi-
ness meeting of the American Section
on Wednesday evening to take vote
whether our Party convention is to
take place in September. The German
Section decided that the convention
should be held in Chicago in May, 1890.
Furthermore, take the liberty to call
the attention Of the readers of the
WoRKMEN'S ADVOCATE to our Lassalle
festival that is to take place at Twelfth
Street Turner Hall on August 81. No
doubt we shall enjoy pleasant evening.
Comrades, do your duty q. A. H.

condition. If under socialist system
you had the opportunity of still working
at your business of repairing you would
still be receiving the full value of your
labor. Large manufacturers have found
1t advantageous to become members of
combinations which absorbed their pri-
vate business, as the growing trusts will
testify. 1t is therefore reasonable to
suppose that as our national economy
develops this operation will extend still
further, 1t would, therefore, not be
necessary for a Socialist State to pre-
vent any individual from running a
shop Of his own, for his own interests
would impel him to embrace the oppor-
tunities offered by the scientific order of
society which Socialism contemplates--
the opportunity of getting the greatest
possible return for the least effort. Then
the absence Of the worry and care, the
danger of new competitor in the field,
which attend the present system, would
be entirely obliterated under the COOP
erative Socialist system. The mere as
sertion of this carries an argument with
1t to the thinker, As to the small cob
blers. they are already obliged, to a
great extent, to give up business for
want OF work; for with the improve
ment Of machinery, commensurately IA
cilitated production, and with the greater
purchasing power of the worker (when
all are workers, as they would be under
the Socialist system), it is very possible
that it would be waste of time to repair
shoes at ALL A cobbler might still de-
sire to ''stick to his last" but he would
be as justly considered a crank as the
man who would attempt to compete
with railroads in the transportation of
freight by using wheelbarrow. A
lady once asked the writer who would
darn stockings under the Socialist sys.
tem and she saw the point when she
5i,ity no one would darn stockings,
when less labor would supply new ones.
In short, Socialism implies economy in
its fullest sense-economy of human
life; the rescue of humanity from un-
necessary .drudgery, while affording to
each and all the greatest possible re-
suits of science applied to nature.
sympathizer asks: How is the money
secured to pay the expense of printing
and other expenses of the Socialist
Party?
From subscriptions to the party jour
nails, the sale of books and pamphlets,
the dues from memberships, donations
and income from entertainments, pic
MICS sale of refreshments, etc. And
yet the exlgenCies of the times call for
a greater output OF Socialist literature
than the Party with these sources of
revenue can supply.

NORTH DAkOTA'S IDEA.
Prohibiting all Combinations TO Con.
troll Prices of Commodities.

The new State OF North Dakota is
duly constituted, with the capitol at
Bismarck, The Constitutional Conveu-
tion held in the capitol there last Friday
night adopted a section, among others,
providing that any combinations he
tween individuals, corporations, associa-
tons or either, having for its object or
effect the controlling of the price of any
product of the soil, or any article of
manufacture or commerce, or the cost
of exchange, is prohibited and declared
unlawful and against public policy, and
that any or all franchises heretofore
granted or extended, or that may here
after be granted or extended, IN this
State, shall, when the owners violate
this article, be null and void.
This, it will be seen, does not, on the
face of it, include combinations of work
men whose object is to raise wages.
An anti-blacklst section was also in
corporated in the Constitution. The
section prohibits the exchange of black
lists between railroad or other Compan-
les or employers.
A section providing that all flowing
streams and natural waterways shall
forever remain the property of the State
for irrigation mining or other purposes,
was adopted by unanimous vote.
Public lands are to be leased under CON
troll Of the Board of University and
School Lands.
The new State has not advanced much
in Its constitution beyond older States
in matters political and industrial, but
1t will be interesting to observe the
effect of the remarkable antitrust law.
How potential the prohibition of com
blnations will be may be safely meas
ured by such laws as the Interstate
commerce law and other State regula-
tlons of trusts under the prevailing
system

AMERICAN RESOLUTIONS.
Radical in Tone and Intent, and Cor.
daily Accepted.

Whatever local difference of opinion
caused two international workmen's
congresses to meet in Paris instead of
one, there was a remarkable unanimity
in essentials prevalent between both.
America was represented in both con-
crosses, and the resolutions presented
by Americans and accepted by the re-
spective congresses were marked with a
radical tone worthy of a young and Wig
WCus nation, and portentous of the flu
ture of the labor movement in the
United States The following two reso-
lutions offered by American represen,
tatives illustrate this:
ADOPTED AT THE POSsrBMIST CONGRESS-.
The International Labor Congress de-
clares that its resolutions in favor of a
reduction of the hours of labor, the
limitation of women and child labor.
and kindred measures, are not to be
considered as expressing its full pro-
gram of industrial reform, but that
these measures are demanded to secure
the present mitigation of the hardships
Of labor, and to promote the leisure,
education and organization necessary
to secure the ultimate ownership and
control of all the means of production
by the workers themselves, which, we
affirm, is the only measure that will
secure to labor its complete rights,
ADOPTED AT THE SOCIALIST CONGRESS.
Whereas, The reports of the delegates
to this congress from all countries have
demonstrated the fact that sole depend
ence upon economic organization Of
labor, as exempllfied in the trades unions
and similar organizations, does not suf-
tlce for the emancipation of labor,
though the agitation for shortening the
work-day, limiting the labor of women
and children, protective labor laws, etc,
has proven means for the develop
ment of class s-consciousness, ***
ReSOlUed, That it is the sense of this
international congress that in all coun-
tres where the elective franchise is
possessed by the people, they should
JON the ranks of the Socialist Party
permitting no compromise with other
political parties and by the use of their
elective franchise proceed under the
provisions of their respective cOnstitu-
tions to obtain possession of the politi-
cal power.
In short, the international congresses
have both agreed that such measures as
the eight-hour-day, etc, are mere tenn
porary makeshifts, and that the owner
ship and control of the means of pro-
duction by the people is absolutely
nece ,sary for the emancipation of labor.
The only practical difference between
the two resolutions is that the Socialist
resolution points out the possible and
proper tactics.

STATES OUT OF DEBT,

The States so fortunate to be out of
debt are Illinois, Wisconsin, Delaware.
West Virginia and Colorado. West Vir.
ginia is prohibited by her constitution
from going into debt. California and
Iowa have no debts to settle, though
paying interest on school fund. Ken
tucky is nearly free from debt. New
York owes $7,000,0O0, Ohio and Mime
sofa less than S4,OOO,OOO, New Jersey
and Kansas less than S2,OOO,OOO. vir-
ginia is the most heavily burdened, hav-
ing funded debt of over $23, 900, 900,
and an unfunded debt of over $S,0O0,-
900. Massachusetts carries the next
heaviest debt, over $13,000,0O0. Next
comes Tennessee, $1,000, 900; Pennsyl-
vania, $15, 900; North Carolina, $13,-
100000; Louisiana, S12,000,000, and
Maryland, $1,0O0,000, The total indebt-
edness of all the States is 1920, 900, 900,
which is less than one per cent. of their
aggregate taxable property. The rate
OF taxation is heaviest in Nevada, Ne
braska and Louisiana; and, though
Massachusetts, stands second in the size
of her debt, she has the lowest rate of
taxation in the Union-less than 12 cents
per Sl00.-Sdn Fran. Star.

PHILADELPHIA.

The members of the Flemish Section
at their last meeting, held on the 18TH
inst, unanimously endorsed the stand
taken by the Board of Supervision in
their fourth resolution as published in
the ADVOCATE of August II, 1889
We consider it would have been a
step in the right direction if the Sections
of New York and Kings County had,
prior to circulating their grievances
and charges against the National Execu-
tive Committee, laid the same before
the Board of Supervision and had
waited for the result.
We refrain at present from giving our
opinion as to the merits or dement's of
said charges. But we think, however.
that the sooner they are disposed of by
the proper authority, i. E., the national
convention, the better it will be for our
Party.

INCIDENTS OF THE CONGRESS.


There were over four hundred dele
gates present, representing twenty lone
countries.
William Liebknecht was one of the
hardest workers, acting as one of the
Bureau, and as translator.
There was but one native American
among the American delegates, namely,
the representative of the S. L. P.
1t is estimated that it will cost $500
francs about $500 to publish the pro.
ceedings. Our Party has been asked to
contribute.
1t was proposed to issue an interna-
tional journal, and committee has the
matter in hand. 1t will probably be
published in Paris.
A brace of anarchists were elected on
the last day of the congress, after re-
peated warnings to keep order by the
long suffering chairman.
Bebel's address received most pro.
found attention, as did that of Guesde,
both being excellent speakers. Guesde's
teryency and eloquence was especially
marked.
The breezy reports in the Paris edi-
ton of the New York Herald, describing
the assembly as a Congress of jail
BIRDS came from the facile pen of
Edward Aveling.
One delegate came all the way from
Iowa to have the congress pass resolu-
tlons against POwderly. He went home
before the close of the congress without
even presenting his condemnatory res
olutions.
One of the French delegates circulated
set of resolutions to the effect that
all labor organizations throughout the
world be recommended to make grand

social revolution with considerable fer
v0r. DR.. Adler spoke for Austria.
where the idea of political action is
adopted by the Socialists. keir Hardie,
a delegate from the miners of North
England, favored political action. Paul
Brandt, sturdy Swiss editor, repre-
senting the Grltli Nerein. reported the
condition of the Socialist movement in
Switzerland as continually improving.
He was followed by the delegate of the
5. l.. ?. of the United States, who
briefly reviewed the movement in
America, remembering with especial
satisfaction the remarkable awakening
caused by the novel, "Looking Back,
ward, and its judicious spreading by
Socialists, and correcting erroneous
ideas prevailing abroad concerning la
Dor matters in the United States. Do
mela Nieuwenhuis spoke for Holland,
and Marie Yankowska, lady of literary
attainments, for Poland. Belgium,
Roumanla, Bohemia and Hungary were
well represented. All these reports
and the resolutions passed by the Con-
gress, which have already appeared in
our columns, will be published by the
international committee in pamphlet
form, and be sold to all who may desire
them. This interesting publication will
be duly announced in the ADVOCATE.
On the whole, the International So,
cialist Congress may be considered as
atfording means of expression for the
great mass of workers throughout the
civilized world who have been silent so
long. 1t has not only afforded this, but
has also expressed the opinion that
INDEPENDENT POLITICAL ACTION
is the true course to take wherever the
elective franchise is in the hands of the
people; that the possession of political
power is necessary for the emancipation
of the workers. The program and tao
tics of the Socialist Party of the United
States has thus received the appreciation
of the representatives of the worlds
socialists, and this should encourage us
to still further develop our strength and
push our righteous cause forward with
renewed zeal.
Private interviews with various well
known workers and thinkers in the
socialist cause still further convinced
the American delegate that the strict
observance of the platform and consti-
tuition, and especially our resolution in
regard to political action Independent of
all other political parties extant, per-
mitting no compromise with reaction
lists, is the true course for the Socialists
of America.
The establishment of connections with
prominent writers in France and Eng
land has also been accomplished, and
the readers of the WoRKMEN's ADvO-
CATE will have the benefit of their con-
tributions.
