The Great Debate in London between
Socialist Hyndman and Indivdu-
alist BradI laugh.
That the debate on the Eight Hours
Question had an interest and PRACTICAL
utility beyond what usually attaches
to academic discussions was made mani
feat last Wednesday evening July %,
at st. James HalD long before the
time announced for the commencement
of proceedings had arrived, To us, as
Social Democrats, too, { was interesting
as showing the progress that had been
made by the movement since the same
opponents met in the ssa me arena to dis
cuss what was practi cally the larger
form of the same subject summed up in
the question, Will Socialism Benefit the
English People? After Last Wednesday,
night no one can doubt that gradually,
but surely, the masses of the English
people are coming to the conclusion that
nothing short of Socialism can be of
permanent benefit to the m. On the for
mer occasion the over whelming ma
jority of the audience was against us.
On Wednesday evening the very reverse
was the case; our opponents, except in
the half-crown seats, were in hopeless
minority. If Mr. Bradla ugh ever really
believed that there was not sufficient
interest in the question to I'LL st. James
Hall he must have BEEN etfectually un-
| deceived. Nor was this the only thing
made clear that evening. The debate,
among other useful ends II has acComp-
lshed, has demonstra ted how very
little there is to be said gainst the legal
enactment of eight hours as the maxi
mum working day. We are prepared to
recognize that Mr.. Brad laugh did the
best he could with q bad cause and that
| he urged all that was to Zoe put forward
against our proposition. But with all
his adroltness of reparte<s. his twisting
of phrases, and his undou bted ability as
a debater, he most sigually failed to
make even decent show in favor of his
counter proposition.
For what, after all, was the SUN and
substance of his arguments: First, that,
although he was in favor Of the reduc-

SAVINGS.

From the semi-annual reports of the
New York State savings banks it APP
pears that the amount deposited in those
institutions on June 30, 1890, was five
hundred and sixty-hve million dollars,
an increase of about 90 millions over a
year ago. Some capitalist organs are
Haunting those figures in the faces of
the working men, saying, "See howrich
you are,
In the first place, this is very small
amount as compared with the aggre-
gate wealth of the rich, since it repre-
SCENTS less than 800 per capita. A few
millionaires, picked at random in Wall
Street, can produce together much
larger sum.
In the second place, wage-workers
figure in comparatively small numbers
among the depositors, who for the most
part belong to the middle class.
Again, it is no great consolation to the
man who has nothing at all but the pro-
spect of enforced idleness and conse-
quent starvation. to know that his neigh
Dor, by depriving himself of all comfort
and many necessaries, has saved a
few dollars which lack of employment
or sickness may sweep away in few
days.
Lastly and most important of all, the
money deposited in those banks is used
by the capitalists in real estate and other

NATIONAL PREPONDERANCE.

There were 43 millions OF cotton
spindles in Great Britain two years ago,
and only ID millions in the United
States. But the average quantity of
cotton used per spindle was consider
ably larger in America than in England,
owing chiefly to the heavier grades of
goods made in this country. Since then,
the American cotton industry has re.
ceived a great impetus from its develop
ment in the South, where cheap labor
and long hours are prevailing. In this
as in many other industries American
capital is fast acquiring, at the expense
of labor and by its steady degradation,
the preponderance which England
originally enjoyed by reason of her SUI
perior machinery. As Hyndman OBJ.
