Captain was endeavoring to secure.

party. mo, no." replied the Captain.
Il am going to do no such thing. Would

so quietly taking sharp pen-knife out
OF his pocket and Sitting the lahe of his

Capitalization,

A correspondent of the London Daily
Telegraph lately interviewed Prince
Bismarck. In the conversation that
occurred, the latter is reported as declar-
ing that mo concessions to the Nihilists
is possible Over. education has led to
much dissatisfaction and disappointment
in Germany, but in Russia it has led to
disatfection and conspiracy"
Bismarck is right; the best way to
keep people slaves is to keep them
ignorant. Monarchs and priests are
wise who oppose even the restricted
intellectual education of the people;
where that obtains superstition is de-
creasing and will be eventually extermi-
mated and the respect Of men for their
own interests will supersede loyalty to
aristocrats and monarchs. But has not
the sCavenger the natural right to be as
well educated as the monarch? That
he is not so book learned is not his fault,
but proceeds from the cruel working of
unjust and tyrannical human laws, that
ought to be, and in the near future will
be, abolished.

Musings Of Superannuated Labor
RefOrmer.


The welfare of a nation does not de.
pend 80 much on the amount or quantity
of its wealth, as on the proportion of it
which is enjoyed by those who labor to
produce it.
##
1t must be admitted that under our
present politico economical system those
who work hardest usually obtain the
least reward for their services.
~
Poverty makes thieves and wealth
often makes tyrants. The ideas of men
not unfrequently change with their cir,
cumstances. The magic of money often
converts the slave into the oppressor;
but the true man will fill neither of those
positions,
x"4
The extraordinary wealth of the few
and the extreme poverty of the many
are not natural products, but are the
results of unjust systems and tyrannous
laws.
W.
No man has a right to condemn any
individual who by such evil laws has
succeeded in accommodating wealth, ex-
cept the man who would refuse to use
the same means to obtain a similar
result.
Nv
But inordinate wealth and gripping
poverty are both serious evils. They
are the sluice gates through which
crimes enter nations. When the col.
lective wealth of community is justly
divided among the producers and dis.
tributors of it, by just laws, there will
be beneficial financial equality among
us which is much needed.
xx
The main interest of present legisla-
tors lies in the conservation and protec =
ton of the claims of property, but in the
near future the Socialists will place that
second to the rights of mankind and the
welfare of those who by their labors
create property. ii.
