COOPERATION eRowlNe.
An Extensive CO-Operative Scheme Bein
Perfected.

An Extensive CO-Operative Scheme Being
Perfected.
The Carpenters Brotherhood of Phiia-
! delphia is perfecting arrangements for
an extensive cooperative scheme The
building trades, including every thing
from stone masons TO frescoers. are to
form an organization employing SO, 600
men, The organization will make con.
tracts erect buildings, employ work
men and divide profits among the men
themselves
This is an advanced step in the right
direction. New England manufactur-
ers, realizing the inevitable, are adopt
ing the profit sharing system.
All that is now necessary to make the
cooperative plan an assured success is
for Government to ass st labor to OBJ
tain buildings, machinery, tools and
raw material for manufactures.
When rich men wish to build railways
the State aids them, why should not the
State assist in found ng cooperative
enterprises?
The extreme development of the evils
OF unjust distribution of the profits OF
industry can no longer continue in this
country OF freedom. 1t is entirely in
compatible with our political system
that the real sovereigus of the country
should be penniless, while their APP
pointed agents are rolling in wealth.
While our Government is theoretical
ly democratic, it has become practical
ly aristocratic. Europe has been pros
trate for ages beneath an aristocracy of
Dlrth-which, like q fierce Etna, has
burned and buried its best life-but our
beloved Nation has been struggling
against the wither ng power of an aris-
tocracy of wealth. This privileged class
has not only absorbed the wealth, but
seized the political power of the Nation.
This combines wealth and legislation
against the poor. This enthroned pow
er of centralized wealth, with private
and public treasures at it's command,
and the complex, ramifying and perfect
machinery of political enginery work
ing out its purposes, dictates nomina-
tions, controls elections and determines
legislation.
Thus the distinctive democratic feat
ures of our Government have been de-
stroyed by this despotic power, VIII Oh
even now laughs in der sion at protests
and res stance, so that we not only have
monster monopolies to handle, but a
political plutocracy to combat
The picture is comp etc when we add
that the monOpolies and the plutocracy
are formed of the same material But
this despotic system is tottering to its
fall 1t is resting upon an unrigh teous
basis and cannot stand. The tocsin of
combat is ALREADY calling to the ire
pressible conflict The people are on
the march, keeping step to the music
of progress, animated by liberty and
guided by intelligence. San Francisco

Reasons Why Graded Income Tax Should
Be impossible Would Strike Those Best
Able to Pay.
The enormous wealth of some of our
citizens is startling to think OF. and
gives peculiar emphasis to the query,
whittier are we driftingp As nearly as
can be ascertained William W. Astor.
the son of Jacob Aston, owns property
to the fabulous amount of $120, 600, coo,
and his daily income is near S24, 600, or
S. 760, 600 year. John d. Rockefeller.
the Standard oil king, is even more
wealthy, owning S135. 600. 600 of proper
ty. Cornelius Vanderbilt and jay
Gould, the railroad kings, fall a little
behind these gentlemen the former
owning only. 800 600, 900 and the latter
sos, 900, 600. The incomes of these four
men would support over 80 600 families
most of them usually live.
| There are hundreds more of the many
millionaire class in our large cities, but
these are by far the wealthiest on the
list It is a startling fact that ono
SEVENTEEN of the population own seven
ty per cent of the country's wealth.
In view of such facts it is not strange
that our State Alliance at its recent ses.
sion adopted resolution calling for q
| graded income tax. The effect of such
a tax would be to compel these money
kings to bear much larger proportion
| OF the expenses of the Government than
they now do, and if properly adjusted it
would render millionaire fortunes i'm.
| possible, as they should be. In a DEM
ocratic government a class of the very
rich should not be allowed It is not
| for the best interest of the people that
a few should possess the major part Of
| the wealth. 1t is dangerous to the
| prosperity of the commonwealth that
the money, which is an element
| OF power in legislation, should
be in the hands of the few. 1t
gives it's possessors too great an
influence in the administration
OF government 1t enables them to
| dictate legislation to a great extent
Besides there is no justice in it These
men of vast wealth are not usually men
of remarkable ability, at least not of
ability in proportion to their accumu-
| lationS Their unusual wealth is the
result of circumstances and favorable
legislation, and rot of special Skill and
wisdom. There is no possible way in
which any man can honestly earn S.
| 600 day, and yet that sum is not an
unusual accumulation nowadays II
this multipl cation of millions in the
! hands of a few thousands of our citizens
is neither just nor for the best interest
of the people, the people certainly
ought to put stop to it, and before the
| farmers movement ends its work we
hope to see it done.-Ind ana Farmer.

A Southern journal of much reputes
declares that no Southern man should
be selected as Speaker of the next

special from Huron, s. d., says: The
Farmers Alliance and Knights of Labor
closed their three days session here this
evening. The most important action WAS
a decision to organize a new party. A
resolution providing for such a move
ment was carried by a vote OF 413 to 80.
Immediately on the announcement Of the
vote the Alliance adjourned, and the
widest excitement prevailed. The con-
vention to take political action was at
once organized with l. W. Cosand Of Pot
ter county as chairman. The committee
on resolutions reported in favor OF wom'
en- suffrage, graded service pension, pre-
hibit,on Of liquor traffic, tariff for revenue
only, denouncing the acceptance OF passes
BY Legislators and other public officials.
The report was adopted. On suggestion
of President Loucks of the Alliance the
new party was named the independent
party"
A platform was adopted which includes
the state and national declaration OF the
principles of the Farmers Alliance and
industrial Knights of Labor, and demands
