THE BONDING PRIVILEGE.
Canadians Insist They Arc to be Deprived

Canadians Insist They Are to be Deprived
of IL Here.
MONTREAL, August 20.-In press dispatches
of Monday it was stated that a Montreal CORE
spondent had seen a letter from the Treas
ury Department at Washington recommending
an American transportation company not to
accept a consignment of cartridges from
Canada for Mexico, as it was intended to dis
continue to Canada the bonding privileges she
had hitherto enjoyed and such as would be
continued to other countries. The informa-
ton not finding confirmation in other quarters
it was denied.
Thomas Brainerd, the President of the com.
pany in question, now admits that the facts are
as stated. and says: "Some time ago the Treas
ury Department at Washington wrote to the
transportation company to which he had ap-
piled for rates, that they could not grant the
binding privileges enjoyed by European goods
over the route to goods coming from Canada.
This decision was sent to US. It was recently
sent to the Minister of Customs and is the basis
for the published statements.

A BROKEN NECK MENDED.
Remarkable Cure of Boy at Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA, August 2O.-A boy cured of
dislocated neck is the prize case of the Pres
byterian Hospital. The patient is so we'll
mended that he does not have to wear support
to hold his head up. There have been broken
necks mended, but few if any so well as this
This patient is Harry Reigel, IA years, 5l1 North
Forty-first street. On May he fell from an
elevator in factory on Belmont avenue light
ing on his head and dislocating the neck at the
fourth cervical vertebra.
When brought to the Presbyterian Hospital
his case was considered almost hopeless. Dr.
De Forrest Willard. of the visiting staff, and
DR.. w. G. Posey, with the resident staff, tried
what extension weights pulling at the head and
feet would do. At first the head lay on the
breast and the end of the vertebra could be felt
by pushing the end of the finger down the boys
throat. After the weights had been removed
the neck was kept in place by plaster OF paris
jacket. In month the boy was allowed to get
up. When the jacket was taken off a few
weeks ago, to the astonishment of the physi-
clans the boy moved his neck as well as he ever
cOuld.

IN REGARD TO NATIONAL MATTERS.
ReSOlUed, LIST. That we are in favor Of
the free coinage Of silver.
RcsOIped, 2nd. That we favor the plan
proposed by the Kansas Farmer in "The
Way Out" for relief Of the farmers from
their present mortgage indebtedness,
ResOlUed, 3rd. That we favor the exer-
else Of che same spirit and willingness in
granting pensions TO the soldiers that was
exercised by the gun bearers, when they
went out to save the Union in the hour of
its peril
IN REGARD TO STATE LEGISLATION.
WHEREAS, The taxing methods OF the
present day are such that the poorer
property holders pay heavy rate Of taz-
alton, while the wealthier escape with a
light rate, and
WHEREAS, Such taxation tends to fos-
ter trust and monopOlies and the oOncen-
tratlOn Of capital into oversized establish
ments, few in number, and
WHEREAS, A practical reversal Of the
present taxing methods would be destruc-
tive Of the evil tendencies just named,
Resolved, We favor the cumulative tax
alton Of capitalize larger the combina-
tlon or concentration the larger the rate
for the prevention Of trusts, monopOlies
and overgrowths. o.
IN REGARD TO LOCAL LEGIsLATION.
WHEREAS, The extraordinary cost OF
digging, tubing and windmilllng wells in
the deep we'll portions of Kansas, render
II a hardship to many to be compelled to
supply themselves with water FOX farm
ing and household purposes at private
expense, and
WHEsEAs, Every farmer should be pro-
vided with easy access 70 water, that he
may not be seriously impaired in his
farming affairs, and

say 10 the brothers in reference TO this Is
that such conduct won't do. Itmight do
II we expected 10 have bosses make our
platforms for us and represent US In tho
interest Of those platforms, but that is
not the idea upon which the alliance is
based. The alliance is based upon the
idea that the people will be their own
bosses and make their own platforms and
appoint men Of their own choosing 10
stand upon those platforms. Conse-
quently all should be up and doing. The
members Of the alliances should study
the various questions Of reform proposed
Tor the correction Of existing evils, give
their opinions in regard thereto in their
assemblages, come 10 common agree
ment upon all the questions they can and
report the substance Of their agreements
TO the papers having general circulation
among the alliances. Unless they do

what the parts OF which II is composed de-
sire2 The time has fully arrived when

The advocate., 1890-03-26

BY means Of this organization Of Indust, Y
and exchange the new progress will open
up new occupations for every human
being. While il will discharge the great
army Of useless go-betweens and those
employed In useless labor, II will at the
same time find for them ample, health
ful, happy and far more lucrative occupa-
tlon In the ever-iDcreasing field Of pro-
duction. And this Is no idle guess-wOrk.
In the very nature Of things, under our
plan, the competitive system can be dis
placed only as the cooperative one takes
its place. The process Of change once
begun, need not necessarily be slowj one
advantage will quickly follow another
until nothing can resist our march. II
will presently be seen that when man
shall begin to adopt natures methods, his
advance will be AZ irresistible as the
tides. In order 10 make II appear clearly
how this process Of change may com
meuce in a small way, and how ii will
necessarily grow and gather sufficient
momentum TO sweep from It's path all OPP
position, we desire 70 take up for con-
sideration.
Third, The function and power Of the
credit instrument Of this proposed asso-
ciation. The discussion Of this phase
will serve tQelucidate still more plainly
the freedom Of this plan Of cooperation.
We want to be 80 well understood In the
treatment Of this part OF the subject that
no one will be able TO see the least trace
of coercion or trespass upon the rights OF
the individual.
Let us again resume the fancled history
Of our two hundred and fifty members
We find them at the close Of the third
year in possession Of beautiful village
Of some fifteen hundred inhabitants, with
certain means Of cooperation in produc-
tlon in which the machinery and tools
have not been very costly, say a broom
factory, vegetable and fruit canning works,
and an establishment for the manufacture
of the lighter articles Of clothing. Per
haps by this time the association will be
running its own store and purchasing It's
own supplies. II will do 80, surely, as
soon as 1t shall become convinced that
more profit will thereby accrue than by
continuing to contract with outside mer-
chants. We will suppose the village to
be owned by the association, renting to
the members ut exact cost Of repairs,
insurance and taxes, The industries
mentioned are carried on 10y the associa-
tion, In which are employed such mem
bers as may be unable to obtain employ
ment at money wages on the outside, or
who may prefer to work for the associa-
tion. AS between members and the. as
sociatlon only credit notes are employed
as a medium Of exchange at the
bank OF the association for goods at the
store or It may be agreed that the associa-
ton shall pay certain percentage in
cash money The surplus of goods
manufactured by the association is sold
in the general market for cash, We have
seen in previous article the illustration
that the association while engaged in a
general contracting and building business
for outside capitalists would pay to the
mechanics and laborers its credits to the
amount of about so per cent. Of the
wages account, and the remainder in
limited States money. A moments

COOPERATION.
NO. GV.-CoNoLUDED,


necessary TO again call the renders at
tention TO some points which ought par
ticularly 10 be remembered as most i'm
portant 10 success in this form Of coop
GRAFTON.
First, The indivisibility Of the fund
created from purchasers rebates This,
to our mind, is the most important The
author OF progress aud Poverty y claims
that all land values from which rent
arises, are caused solely by the growth OF
the community, and consequently belong
TO the community considered in It's Or
ganized capacity as whole, and not TO
the various individuals occupying the
separate plats OF land. We apply pre-
cisely this line Of reasoning TO our fund,
and the disposition Of il. II is the result
Of organization. Without combination II
cannot possibly accumulate The profits
OF our purchases as individuals were be-
ing drained away by means OF minute
channels at first, but finally swelled into
a mighty stream of wealth, that finally
emptied its golden torrent into the treas
uries Of the monopolists and the daily
increasing class Of millionares. BY pool
ing our custom we arrested this stream
of profits, and by organization alone we
were enabled TO divert 1t into our own
treasury Hence the fund thus created
belongs not to any individual, but to the
whole association. So important is this
truth that it would be simply suicidal to
allow anyone to Influence the directory
by his vote upon the affairs OF the asso
citation who would not expressly agree
that under no circumstances should the
fund be divided among the members.
Even 10 consider that the individual
members had the least claim at any time
TO part Of the aggregate rebate would
place the business Of the association in
constant jeopardy.
Second, The free or non-compulsory
character of this form Of cooperation.
II Is not an attempt TO organize humane
despotismby indicating particular man as
king,who shall issue adecree to the people
ordering them to stralghtway organize
themselves into an industrial army,
whether they will or not On the con-
trary, II begins with the individual, ask
ing only his full and free consent to con
dltlons that are purely self imposed.
This is Natures plan-beginning with
the single cell, she goes on adding cell to
cell; from the simple to the complex;
or as the Scripture describes II, "frst the
corn, then the ear, then the full corn in
the ear" Bellamy'S ideal society can only
be realized when finally these free COM
munlties shall have absorbed the sur
rounding competitive system and shall
by free federation adopt central directo-
~ over production and exchange. When
that time comes the old things shall have
passed away, and "behold! all things
have become new" Political govern
ment shall be at an end, and every article
Of use and ornament may be purchased
by means Of the universal credit card.
Great progress has been achieved by
means ofmodern invention and discovery;
but bitter has been It's effects upon the
