A MILITARY CONSPIRACY IN
WASHINGTON.

We call the special attention of our
readers and Of the labor press through
out the country to the following impor-
tant communication. 1t emanates from
a well,lnformed correspondent, whose
trustworthiness cannot be questioned.
Editor WoRKMEN's ADvocArE.-Sir:-
/ happen to know that your correspon-
dent J. w. Gilruth, in your issue of
March %, strikes very near the mark
in his Interpretation of the quoted
circular sent out by Adjutant General
Drum. AS straw pointing in the same
direction he might have referred to the
preparations now being made for a per-
manent increase of the force quartered
about Washington.
In the year 1885 a beginning was
made in the organization of bureau of
military information in the War Depart
ment. Under Drums direction one of
the first matters to which this bureau
addressed itself was getting in touch
with the police officials of various cities
for the purpose of ascertaining the num-
bers of the dangerous classes, their
places of resort and congregation &c.
Riveting the shackles of wage slavery
could not be other than congenial
employment to one whose loyalty
was so strongly suspected during the
Civil War as to prevent his being as
signed to any command in the field.
The circular referred to is but part of
the general plan. If success has been
had in attaining the object in view, it is
not the fault of Drum, whose strong and
abiding belief In the greatness of his
own abilities is as little justified as would
be the disbelief of his diminutive name
sake in its own emptiness: witness his
stupidity in the Conferate flag episode
under Clevelands administration But,
however this may be, the material
sought has been cole; ted and is now in
the hands of the War Department.
What use will be made of it, on fit occa-
sion, no workman need be told.
Washington D. c., March 25.

of the capitalist class to relinquish the
combined "money and wage" system
which the new forces are rendering
more and more wasteful and barbara;
and there is "incapacity"-that is, Pc
cuniary inability-on the part Of the
working class in all kinds of industry
agricultural as well as manufacturing
and mining) to procure the modern
engines of production.
The manufacturing or mechanical
worker, who, when he was an indepen-
dent artisan, worked with a few tools of
his own make, can neither make alone
nor work single-handed, nor purchase
(even in cooperation with his fellow
proletaires) the present instruments of
his trade. He must be wage-slave.
The same process of appropriation
and degradation that the skilled artisan
went through the small farmer is now
undergoing. Vainly does he try, by
borrowing money upon mortgage, to
"adopt the modern methods and appli-
ances." The more he produces the less
he gets, until at last his mortgage is
foreclosed and he becomes tenant or a
laborer on the land that once was his
own.
SO long as the hope of redeeming his
land or selling it at profit could be en-
tertained, he was an anti.monopolist or
a greenbacker. With the loss of it he
is a new man. He wants it national.
d-socialized He is nationalist

filling their pockets.

At the entrance of our port rises the
majestic statue of Liberty and shows
the foreigners who come to our shores
the land of promise and freedom.
But few months ago the public was
startled by the exposure of the child
traffic in our great city, traffic SO hi
deous, 80 heartless, SO shameful. that
the like of it can hardly be found in the
monarchy ridden countries of old Eu-
rope. Children were bought for one
dollar piece by baby farmers, who
sold them openly at ten dollars head.
And this happened in the year 1889 of
the Christian era, after hundred years
of American liberty and independence.
A century ago such thing could
hardly have happened. But then there
was no grinding poverty, no prostltu-
ton to be found, and tramps and mil
lionaires alike were practically I'M
known.
Then liberty existed before it was put
down black on white. Our fore-fathers
had fought and bled and died for liberty
before the Declaration of independence
was issued.
By it life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness were guaranteed to every
citizen of the new commonwealth. Are
we, however, still in the possession of
these rights? We are not.
But few years have elapsed since the
most famous pastor Brooklyn ever had
uttered these significant words:

ing men will rise up and say they have
no appeal to courts, no appeal to legis-

Book writers and public speakers who

In that field their eloquence has full

no speech made that will prove more
conclusive than cursory glance at the

The knee pants makers of Chicago,
mostly Russian Jewish workingmen,
held meeting last week and organized
a union. Comrade Sussman addressed
them in their own dialect and his speech
was enthusiastically applauded. Their
weekly earnings are from five to seven
dollars and they work from twelve to
fifteen hours per day. There is in Chi
cago a Russian Workingmen's Educa-

and it was under the auspices of this
society that the aforesaid meeting was
held.

THE CENSUS CONSPIRACY.


Under this head there was in the
February number of the Nationalist mag
azine an article by Daniel DeLeon which
caused genuine sensation in the press,
in the Census Office, and in the two
Bureaus OF Labor Statistics with which
Carroll D. Wright's name is prominently
connected. After relating how the
clause in the Census act for 1880, pro-
viding for census OF the unemployed,
had been contemptuously disregarded
by Superintendent Francis H. Walker
and his subordinates, the author pointed
out its deliberate omission in the Census
act for 1890, against the wishes and
petitions Of laboring men for its re-enact-
ment and actual enforcement. Taking
these two facts in conjunction with GER
tain remarkable statements and evident
underestimates by Carroll d. Wright as
to the amount of enforced idleness, the
conclusion was obvious that, in the
words of Prof. DeLeon, there was "a
deliberate plan to misrepresent and if
need be to wholly suppress the truth on
the actual condition of the people,"
No sooner had the article appeared
than many newspapers took up the
question and considerable agitation was
the result.
But the Census Office and it's masters
were ready to meet the brewing storm
Long before the article appeared it
leaked out in some way that the matter
was being investigated and that dis
closure Of the conspiracy was inevitable
Now, there is in the last Census act a
clause providing that the schedules for
1890 shall be the same as for 1880; but,
strictly construed, this can only apply
to the inquiries specifically provided for
in the act for 1890, which is the only
law in force as to the coming Census,
and in which the clause relating to the
unemployed has been deliberately, will
fully and purposely omitted. The plot,
tiers determined to construe the law in
liberal as well as literal spirit of equivo-
cation, and to issue the same schedule of
inquiry concerning the unemployed as
had been issued in 1880, whether it was
lawful or not to issue such a schedule
for an inquiry not only unp-ovided for
but purposely omitted.
And 30 when at last the Nationalist
came openly with the arraignment
drawn up by Prof. DeLeon, Carroll d.
Wright came underhand and secretly
with private communications to the
papers upon which he could rely to de-
fend him and the Census Office and Their
fellow servants of capitalism who made
the Census act for 1890. This we hap
pen to know: 1t was at his suggestion
and rec" st that the Boston Herald AND
the Chicago Tribune dishonesty under
took to discredit the charge preferred by
Prof. DeLeon, by falsely representing,
