AMBIGUOUS TALK.

There are a lot of people in these days who, like ex-clergyman Pente- cost, having escaped the thraldom of superstition and its sects, are apt to look upon organization and orderly cooperative effort according to pre- concerted plan and regulation, with suspicion and distrust. The veal thy classes have used the laws, made through their influence, to establish the capitalist system, and conse- quently these partially emancipated minds conclude that all regulation means slavery, and all who favor regulation are sectarisns.

THE COMING EARTHQUAKE,

A cartoon in the current number of Le Don Qnjclotte roughly depicts the situation in Germany. Bis marck, having eaten or thrown overheard all his shipmates to keep himself alive, stands alone on the deck of the water-logged craft, "The German Empire" The sea is fairly calm, but from out the ocean the tentacles of a huge octopus slowly rise and take the luckless mariner into their relentless grip. His eyes are starting out of his head, as he sees his fate approaching, for "Lo Ques- ti0ne SOclale, " must drag him down to perdition. Let the lovers of bludgeons and bayonets, the advo- cates of Imperialism and Jack Boot ism look around throughout Ger many to-day. Those who have fondly imagined that they could crush down the upheaval which is que to the economic conditions of modern society, by police domination and reptile press, how do they count as far-seeing statesmen to- day? Militarism and capitalism in Germany have gone hand in hand, great soldiers, great statesmen, great organizers, have combined, so we are told, to build up an eternal edi- flee of Teutonic supremacy. Yet even now Kings and Kaisers look with dread to the inevitable triumph of Socialism, and the men and wo- men on whose backs the imposing structure has been reared shake the palaces of their monarchS from be- low. w.-LOndoH Justice.

ECONOMIC lNFANTlCIDE.

Here IS an example of the eco- homie value of the church, where it hourshes without let or hindrance. We find in the Forum an account of "Pcasant Life in Roumania, by the Queen of Roumania, in which the following "beautIful' passage oc- CUTS:
 "A child is baptized few days after birth, but the mother must never be present at the ceremony. And when one knows what that ceremony is, one sees the reason of the wise prohibition. A large pail of cold water having been fetched from the brook, the babe is taken out of the quilt in which it is enwrapped and tied up like cocoon. The pope now takes it up with his thumbs under the arms, while with his other fingers he closes the eyes, nostrils, ears and mouth, and then dips it thrice under the water, in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost If the result is that the babe dies of pull monary or intestinal inflammation, then it is little angel in heaven, and does not take the bread out of the others mouths.

AGENTS PHOTOGRAPHERS.

Don't let Englishmen imagine for a moment that spies and fomentors of outrage paid by the government are known only in Belgium, Ger many, Russia, Switzerland, France or Austria. No doubt the trial at Mons is terrible exposure for the Belgian government. But the case of Le Caron is fresh in our minds, to say nothing of the spies and scoundrels employed during the Chartlst movement. Our govern ment is the same as the rest. Sev- eral of the branches of the Social Democratic Federation have at one time or another had amongst them desperate fellows, fire-eaters of the most reckless description, who some- how have proved to be on excellent terms with the police. Then there are the people who attempt to inter- view our lecturers privately after their speeches, and pretend to have some terribly knotty problem to solve. It was on the evidence of creature of this sort that Bronterre O'Brien was condemned to eighteen months imprisonment for words he never uttered. We do not shrink from saying that without the use of force we shall never bring about the Social Revolution. But we have plenty to do in the way of organiza- tion and education before we are ready for that, and, meantime, our duty is to be prudent as well as de- termined. -L0Ud0n Justice.

their most forcible editorials devoted to denouncing one or the other forms of organization, and the mem- bers in it, irrespective of the prin- ciples of the organization itself, or the fact that many in its ranks are earnest and honest in their endeav- ors to benefit mankind. The first named takes every occasion to run down the Knights of Labor as a whole, and its officers in particu- lar, not reckoning that in the strug- gle which they advocate in their next column for shortening the hours of labor, to make it anything like success, they need the aid of the very people whom they are con- tinually denouncing for some fan cied fault or error. It is far better if the labor journals of the country are to be of any use whatever to those whom they desire to represent and speak for, were they to turn their artillery on the common enemy, keep their own house clean, and en- deavor, by words of council from pens of wisdom, to prepare their readers for the inevitable struggle for shorter hours. .-Baltim0re Critic.

WHAT OTHERS SAY.

The Connecticut Ballot Reform Bill has a chance still of becoming a law, 1t is said, in spite of Gov. Bulkeley's veto, owing to the strong popular sentiment in its favor. The Governors objections to the meas ure can be met in part by trit1ing alterations, but whether he likes it or not, the Governor will probably see it made a law. The entire press of the State, with but one exception, ls said to favor it's passage. When Connecticut shall have finally placed the law on the statute book, she will not be alone in the line of re- form. Tennessee, Missouri, lndi- ana, Wisconsin, Montana, Minne- sota, Massachusetts and Rhode Isl- and have adopted in principle the Australian ballot system. It seems to be good thing to try wherever bribery prevails. New York ought to have tried 1t years ago. -Ba'ti- more ,SllN.

reasoning powers, MT. Pentecost said to his congregation recently:

Do not join any Socialistic sect, be- cause then you might become so bigoted that you could not understand any thing but Socialism; and do not get so infatuated with any other doctrine that your mind will be closed against what is best in Socialism"
 MT. Pentecost does not define what he means by a Socialistic sect, though he may have calculated the impression it might make upon the majority of his audience, who are in the condition of mind we mentioned. Any sort of Organza- tion to them would mean a sect. Any definite expression of ideas or relation of facts would be to them a creed. As long as they remain in this condition and do not tire of their "liberty,' they will no doubt follow faithfully in the steps of their leader, unconscious of the fact that they are mere utilities in the body polite, unless they 0ct with some effort against the organized sup porters of the conditions they con demn.
 If Pentecost advises his flock and the large number of transient visit ors at his Sunday lectures not to become members of the Socialist Party, for instance, and gives as a reason that "they might become so bigotcd that they could not under stand anything but Socialism, he uses the language of a demagogue. l Nevertheless, 1t IS to be assumed that practical men who may possibly have had their attention first drawn toward Socialism by Mir. Pentecost will not be satisfied with accepting the eloquent young man, himself a tyro, as the Alpha and Omega ot economic knowledge, and make the hearing of his lectures the sun total of their activities in the dl rection of Socialism, The practica man, if he be an elector, will yott tho straight Socialist ticket at every opportunity.
 After all, Mir. Pentecost may have been and may still be a useful mar in the community.

SOCIALIST LABoK PA KTY.
JUNE l5, 1889.
FARMERS AND SOCIALISM.

It would be wrong to claim that Socialism, when 1t Is the adopted form of society, will specially bene- fit any particular class, for all classes, as well as each individual, will have an equal share in the bene- fits of the new order, according to his capacity for contributing to and enjoying it's blessings.
 A Connecticut farmer who was a member of the Legislature in his State a few years ago, on reading the Socialist Platform for the first time, exclaimed, "Why, that's straight democracy" He was right, as far as his light went. But Social ism is more than democracy. This our Connecticut farmer acknowl- edged after a little more study, which, fortunately, he was enabled to devote to the subject, owing to thrifty forbearS and the circumstan- ces of their time, which made pos sible, and gave value to, personal . thrift.
 The thoughtful, educated Ameri- can farmer, if he but had the op- portunity to study and comprehend the aims of Socialism, would soon count himself Socialist. Under the present system and prevailing circumstances the ideal farm-llfo Is becoming less and less the "free-and- independent-far life it was when the division of labor and ma chinery had not developed.
 To whom do the farmers sell their wheat? Can they figure how many profits must come out of that wheat before 1t reaches the frugal table of their proletarlan brother in the city? It has been estimated that the total time consumed in the making of a ten-cent loaf of bread, from the sow ing of the seed to the baked loaf on the bakery shelf, Is oae-haf .miAate. The worker in the city, if he gets, say, two dollars a day, pays thirty minutes of his labor for the half minute of labor contained in the loaf.
 We asked-"To whom does the farmer sell his wheat ," But we know that many a farm which waved with yellow grain does so no more. The great ranches and giant farms of the West, or the lately in- troduCed tenant farm lands ("so English, you know,') worked by cheap labor and potential machin- cry, and whose proprietors, be they individuals or Syndicates, have such great influence with the railroads that they can arrange" for cheaper freight, in spite of short haul laws or interstate commerce acts, than can the honest farmer who works his modest farm with his sons and a hired man or two.
 That sort of farming is getting
Workmen's advocate., 1889-06-15

manufacturers are being crowded out by the larger ones. The farmers sons feel as if they were becoming burdens upon the homestead, and go to the cities to swell the competl- ton for chance to labor.
 Here's the kind of reading one sees in agricultural papers-tho fol- lowing Is from the NatiOHa StOck- m0n'
 "The time must come when the farm CTS of this State, and particularly of this section, must make a grand effort to get out of and keep out of debt. It is life and death struggle in any agricultural community and 1t is inevitable The sooner it k made, at whatever sacrifice, the better for all. There will be no in dividual or agricultural progress or in- dependence on the farm, until crop mortgages are relegated to the past. Some debts must be incurred, but keep the crops clear of the burden. It is like burning bread to mortage crop Why, bless the rural editors simple heart, this is only the begin ming of the end of the passing era. When the overburdened farmers go into debt, they do so for good Causc-competition compels them. Either they must get certain ma chimes which some other farmers have, or they must invest Tn an ex- tra lot of fertiIizcrs-at any rate, they must keep up with the times. And what does that mean ? Why, they must sell their produce at the market prlce-the price fixed by the competition among themselves and between them and the great syndi- cate farms.
 A glance through the 'thrifty' New England States tells the story of the farmers migration. For a time a new hope burned within his breast-then comes the machine, the syndicate, the tenant farm, the efficient division of labor, requiring but few heads to direct many hands, and the farmers hope is well nigh gone.
 But what does Socialism offer This. A comfortable existence; the full value of your labor in ex- change; no tax levied to feed a use- less set of otliceholders, for every man must work; education for your children; positive insurance for your old age on the credit of the nation; the cares of business re- moved from your shoulders and placed upon Uncle Sans no loss by bad crops from drouth or flood will fall on the individual farmer, but will be borne by the nation.
 All this cannot be had for noth- ing, however. First it requires hard work in agitation; then some honest electioneerlng; and finally, when, in the course of time the So- cialst system IS introduced, an ac- quaintance with public affairs and a diligent attention to his duties as an elector will be the citizens price of freedom. But on the other hand every facility for taking active part ir the affairs of State will be afforded every citizen, be he farmer or urbal worker, and 1t will be found that the Socialist Cooperative State, while 1t makes great demands, makes none so gallng as the present cut-throat system, and none with which compliance means indignity to the citizen or want and misery for his family.
 Study the Socialist Platform.

A number of letters have been received from Sections and members of the Party, expressing diSsatisfac- ton at the declinatlon of the editor of this paper to stand as a candidate for delegate to the Paris Congress, and asking the reasons for such dec- llnation. The answer should be obvious. The duties imposed by his present position, and the apparent difficulty of securing a substitute, seems to be good and sufficient reason.
