The object of the trust is to regulate the
prices Of the capitalists commodity.
The purpose of the trade union is to
control the laborers' commodity--labor
The trust reaches its aim by keeping the
aggregate production of its members in
subordnation to the aggegate produc-
ton of the consumers and thus prevent
ing the oversupply which is inevitable
under competition. The trade union
pursues its object of raising wages by
controlling the supply Of labor through
shortening the hours Of labor.
"Supposing the production of given
country to consume daily 48,000,000
hours of labor, purchased from 1000 600
workingmen and to leave idle 5000, 900
workingmen, with 36,000,0 900 unem-
ployed hours to compete with the
former, the triumph of an eight-hour
workday campaign would bring down
the aggregate daily supply of 4,000,000
employed workmen to 32,000,000 hours.
The balance Of 100000 hours would
have to be purchased Of 1000, 900 of the
unemployed and this would leave in
idleness 100000 workngmen, that is,
a daily surplus of only 5000, 600 instead
of the former 36 6,000 900, which decrease
of competition on the labor market
would be accompanied by rise of
wages OF those employed
This labor trust and the capitalist
trust are in fact, the respectiv weapons
in the struggle between capital and
labor; the tendency of the former being
to force the employer to pay higher
wages, while the latter is intended to
extort from the workingman higher
prices in his capacity Of consumer.
But while labor organization, in 80 far
as 1t succeeds to raise wages, increases
the purchasing power of the workmen
and thus creates at home market for
the capitalists commodities which he
frequently vainly seeks abroad, the In.
separable concommitant of the aggrega
tion of capital in the form of trusts or
syndicates is smaller sum total of pro-
duction, as we have seen before, com.
blned with greater saving of labor,
larger army Of unemployed. greater
competition on the labor market and
smaller purchasing power on the capi-
talists' market.
"The trust means ruin to the laboring
population as we'll as to the very inter
ests 10 whose behalf it is called into
play. The eight-hour movement, on the
contrary, is calculated to benefit the
nation at large.
with the ''proletarians Of all coun.
tries' thus united for the preservation
of themselves as well as of the entire
social fabric, on the one hand, and the
deleterious, suicidal consolidation of
capital on the other, the advent of
Socialism, the last step in the process of
unification of humanity, is matter of
course. The eight hour movement is
so far the greatest move in that direc-
ton. 1t is, perhaps, the last attempt to
rally industry from the effects of capi-
tails destructive rule; it is notice to
capital to abdicate the throne in favor
of the people; it is the beginning Of the
end"

Closing Lecture of the Economic Con-

The closing session of the Economic
Conference. brought together an audi
ence which filled the Recital hall to
overhowing and left many to be denied
admission. The address by C.. S. Dar-
row on Social Progress Under the Law
was worthy of the occasion md the
audience.
1T has been said that there was no
labor question" said Mr.. Darrow. The
presence of this audience and the sue.
cess of these conferences demonstrate
its existence and that it vii, continue SO
long as one class of humanity is rich,
powerful and great, and by far the
greater class in the depths of poverty
and want.
THE SAVAGE AND THE CIVILIZED BEING.
Between the savage clothed in skins
and fighting with his fellows and the
civilized being of today is a chasm broad
and deep; SO broad that it seems as il
no links connect the present with the
past. The savage centuries since EN-.
erged from his cave and saw the rising
sun dispel the night-watched it with
fear and wonder as it passed across the
sky; he saw It, as the evening hour

IN WASHINGTON.
The Nationalists Celebrate their First
Anniversary.

Anniversary.
Nationalist Club No. / of Washing
ton, d. c., celebrated its first anniver-
sary on Abraham Lincoln's birthday
Feb. 12), in the parlors of the st James
Hotel. The last number of the Crafts
man has full report of the proceedings.
About one hundred members and guests
were present. After the menu had been
sufficiently discussed, President Wright
called the intelligent assemblaee to or
der, and in few appropriate remarks
dwelt upon the good work that the
club had done. He then introduced Mr..
Clancy, who, as secretary of the club,
was entitled to much credit for the re-
suits achieved during the first year of
its existence.
Mr.. Clancy stated that the club now
numbered nearly one hundred members.
He gave brief synopsis of its practical
work, telling of the efforts put forth for
the municipalization of the means of illu-
mination in Washington. No opposition
had been met in their efforts in this di-
rection, except from those interested in
perpetuating the present monopoly. The
Washington Gas Company was capital
lied at 81, 600, 900, and ON this watered
capital as high as 81, 900, 900 had been
paid in dividends in one year. These
immense dividends would return to the
users of gas under government owner
ship. Thousands of petitions for sigma
lures had been circulated, and these will
be presented to Congress. 1t was hoped
that they would meet with success in
this direction.
Mr.HV. .Bisbee, of theCrdftsman, spoke
chiefly on the work done by the labor
press to further industrial reform. The
agency which is doing most to accomp-
lish this, without subsidy or hope of
reward, gIorying in its poverty, fighting
for principle, laughing at the cry ''etop
my paper" is, he said, the Labor Press.
To the Labor Press, then, must we look
| to snur eforms until they are
ed on third poge.)

Miss Leila Robinson Scores the Rev. Minot
T. Savage and his Wealthy
Congregation.


While the Boston correspondents of
Chicago papers are writing ''for Doodle"
that the Nationalist movement is fast
dying out in New England, the most
widely circulated of Boston dailies
speaks out as follows: "It is a remark
able testimony to the interest taken in
nationalism that, however large the
audience may be which assemblies to
hear it expounded, gathering fully as
great presses to hear it attacked, while
the attraction of criticism of the criti-
cism made upon it is sure to call out
the adherents of Mr.. Bellamy in over
whelming strength"
This reflection was suggested by the
throng of members of the Second Ma
tionalist Club who met last Sunday
night to hear the reply of lady men,
Der of the Suffolk bar to the previous
Sundays address by Rev. NJ. J. Savage
on "Mr. Bellamy's Nationalism." Miss
Leila j. Robinson, the president of the
club, began her address by stating that
she heard the sermon delivered. She had
gone to the church to hear the other
side, but as the preacher went on
she was obliged to listen to statements

Louisiana. Mississippi, and South Carolina,
where their votes do not affect the result Of
a Presidential election they are rewarded.
In New York, Ohio, aud Indiana, where their
votes form the balance OF power and are eff
fectually used, they arc completely ignored.
This Is what is known as practical politics.
The colored voters Of the South influence no
general election, but they elect delegates to
Presidential nominating conventions. In
these conventions tho vote OF Georgia or
Alabama counts as well as the vote OF Wis
consin or Kansas. 1t is to control the vote Of
tho Southern delegates to Presidential
nominating conventions that tho colored
element in the South is recognized and
patronized.
Will not the colorcd voters In the North
open their eyes to this condition of facts and
will they not see that they are made cats
paws OF by their so-callcd friends, the Re-
publicans2 Being convinced OF this. will
they not leave them to their own resources

who became very rich, and, like the Deacon,
contributed handsomely TO the charities Of
his denomination.
Yet neither OF them was up to the level OF
many OF the young fellows who are now
starting out on their careers. They were
not 80 strong physically, not 80 well edu-
Gated, their philosophy Of life was not so
sound their range was narrower, their
wind shorter, and their training generally
was not so well rounded and symmetrical.
The boys who are growing UP In this coun-
try, Brother C0nOreDdtiondIist, are fine lot
of youngsters. Where could you find better
specimens of youthful energy endurance,
solf-control, and grit than the boat crews Of
Harvard and Yale lately matched ut Now

vigorous and enterprislng spirits Will be in

In the days TO come. Thoy are brawny and
courageous, clcar-eyed, hard-headed, and
driving fellows, who will not quail before
dangers and difficulties.
They also represent vast body OF the
youth OF this period, who will enter upon
the practical Iabors OF life far better fitted
for tho task than their fathers were, phys
ically and intellectually, and oftentimes
morally also. They will get moro fun out
Of existence than Deacon FARNswoRTH and
ALPHEUs HARDY did, but they will work to
all the better purpose,
The coming generation is taller, stronger
moro enduring, more fully developed by both
bodily and mental exercise 1t will march
ahead Of the old, and every place left vacant
by death will be flllod by the survivors, un-
less In the affections Of those few whose tom
der regard they had won. The ranks OF
80 ,ety never keep such gaps. New men
stop in to FIJI them at once, and the process
