JOUR WAR BUDGET.s

The Secretary of War demands forty. four mi lions to keep up his semblance of Department Tlis is nearly one half of the total war budget of Germany, Of course, such sum is not needed to maintain our small army, whose only functions are to preserve peace on the Indian border Most of it will be wasted in foolish experiments for the benefit of steel manufacturers and contractors and great portion of the remainder will be used in perfecting the plans of such fellows as Drum for the terrorizing of workingmen in times of conflict be, tween labor and capital.

SHALL WE HAVE A DAILY

We call attention to letter from the organizer of the Dayton, O., Section in another column. The suggestion therein made of taking immediate steps to raise the funds necessary for the publication in this city of daily Socialist organ in the English language is timely, and we trust that it will be considered by all the Sections. Should they decide in favor of it with the same unanimity and spirit as our comrades of Dayton have to start a daily on a sound financial basis could be raised with no extra
 ordinary amount of difficulty. There are many people i'll this city and else. where who, though not yet regular members of cur party, ere in full sym pathy with its platform and policy and would unquestionably aid to the full extent of their pecuniary ability in es- tabishing Socialist metropolitan Eng lish daily if they saw that an earnest effort was being made by the party itself in that direction. Of the need of such a paper and of the wholesome effect it would have upon the growth of Socialism in all parts of the country it were super huous to speak, Every one of our friends understands this as well as We do.

circulation was over $121 ,000 GOO, mak- ing an average increase per month of S3 O22 ,33S and an increase per capitG of S4 99; the total circulation per capita in 1870 being S19 91 and in 1890 S23 06. The farmers and the grecnbackers are likely to doubt these figures and may perhaps, upon investigation, find that there is considerable fiction in them. 1t is also stated that the large increase which has taken place since March i, lSs9 is mainly due to the present policy of keeping the surplus as low as possible by the purchase and redemption of bonds, thereby saving interest anu re. storing the money to circulation; while the large decrease in circulation for the corresponding period from March 4, 1885, to Oct. 1, 1888, was due to the opposite policy.

DISBAND IT.

Our pIutoCrats are in a state of trepi- dation. Plut0CratiC methods, very good, you know, in politics and finance, but very bad in other respects, have forced their way into military circles, Hence condition of affairs in the National Guard highly detrimental to the dis cipline of that body. We have the valuable testimony of no less an author ity than the New York Tribune to this effect: Stories of insubOrdination, Quarrels and frauds among officers and men follow each other closely, and it is now charged that the election of a captain was secured by improper mani. puaton of the regmental rolls Courts martial have been compelled to impose severe penalties, companies have been disbanded, and the organization has been brought into more or less ill repute. The National Guard was organized to fight an enemy, and not among its own members" The 'enemy," of course, is the working class the soldiers of in dustry, the people who are made to feed Clothe, arm and brass. button theNation. al Guard, and the Pinkerton Guards, and all the blackguards that wear the livery of the plutocracy.

THE kAWEAH COLONY.

We have lately received numerous letters in relation to the Kaweah Colony, which we must respectfully decline to publish. We know nothing of it and it Is not within our province, especially at this distance, to either decry, commend or investigate it. We once expressed in these columns our firm opinion that en- terprses of this character might be entered into by socialists with view to the immediate improvement of their condition, but that, in spite of their CO., operative form, they could not, Tn the present social atmosphere, differ ma teually in structure, direction and object from purely capitalistic under. takings. It is moreover our conviction that very few of them, if any, can be successful. For the sake of the earnest socialists who may be interested in the kaweah Colony, we should be sorry to hear of it's discontinue, just as we would be sorry to hear that any bank in which they had their little all saved for the rainy day had suspended. But we draw very thick line between socialism and partial cooperation and must posi-. lively refuse to give in our colums any space to the latter otherwise than to condemn it generally upon principle. When on previous occasion we held that Mir. Haskell's position was correct as against the seeding element of the San Francisco Nationalist State Conven- tion, we considered neither his personal character, with which we were and are not acquainted. nor his relations to the kaweah Colony, about which we knew and know nothing. We then merely considered the particular principle in volved-nothing more and nothing less and we have reason to believe that the event has proved the correctness of our view

I'D BITS FROM THE PRESI- DENTS ANNUAL MESSAGE.

1t may still be possible for this Con gress to inaugurate movement looking to increased safety in the use of Couplers and brakes upon freight trains, The chief difficulty in the way is to secure agreement as to the best appliances. cost being considered"
 At least 2,000 lives are yearly lost and 2O,000 employees crippled through the criminal negligence of the railroad con- panies. Nor is it likely, until that in dustry shall be owned and operated for the benefit of the people, that the mis- chief will be ahated. The "cost" is to be considered, not the lives of the work men, lest dividends be lowered. 'Tis upon that principle that proper, though costly couplers and brakes have been so far withheld. The President, whom deluded workmen have helped to elect, chimes in with the railroad kings.
 "The government does not own and operate the railroads, and it should not

 The general testimony, said the ost- rich when it hid its head in the bush is that l see nobody; hence nobody sees me. The President IS fully employed, or rather gets fair wages; a small bit of Sj0,00O; thence the millions of wage workers, frequently thrown out of work, at least temporarily, under a score of pretences and pinched through enforced idleness, "are not there" The population of the United States would be perceptbly less were everywhere the labor not "fuIIy employed" left out of the enumeration.
 "The depression in the prices of agri- cultural products has been greatly re. leased, and buoyant and hopeful tone is beginningto be felt by our people"
 Some time next year, probably, the President may learn of a certain cleo tion that took place on November 4, 1890, when, 'buoyant and hopeful' only with the prospect of upsetting him and his Republican crew and his Democratic kindred, millions of farmers voted in q way that created kind of political earthquake, and after the shock started immediately to get themselves into good condition to give next veal another token of their "buoyant anC hopeful" tone.

Gordon, after observing that it was time to check the tendency in nearly all social activities to sink the individual in the organization, ilatIy declared that the object of the proposed trust is directly opposite to the beneficial intent an- nounced hy its promoters, and that its purpose is to enable number of retail coal dealers to combine together with corporate powers to benefit and enrich themselves irrespective of the public welfare, and to commit acts that are not only injurious to the community and against public policy, but also indictable as criminal conspiracy.

THE BEST CAUSE.

Speaking of "united labor's best cause" the Boston Transcript recently said
 May the power of united labor never be wlelded for any worse cause than the addition to the resting days and hours of the workers! Such principles of com. mon acceptance as that every workman has a right to dispose of his own labor every business man has a right to man. age hls own business;' no interference from outsiders san be tolerated between employers and employed'-all these maXims become pOwerless by so much as labor organizations gain power. A new social force has sprung into being as new as the republic was itself in the last century among modern govern ments. We can only hope and pray that its strength may be wisely used. It is excellent to have giants strength; but 1t is tyrannous to use it like giant
 Let our esteemed contemporary pray and be happy. The giant will only use his strength to break his chain and make himself free. But when the chain breaks our esteemed contemporary and those who pray with him will do wisely to let go and stand from under.

THE COMING CRISIS.

An English paper of very high stand ing in financial matters-London Indus. trieS-predicts a monetary crisis in which England and the United States will be both involved. It says, in sub stance "For about six months, at least Qrom now on), trade with America will be reduced to the smallest proportions. As every British exporter was eager to send his goods into the United States before the expiration of the old tariff, he will now wait until the expiration of the present tariff The banks, by whose support the enormous (American) i'm portations of the last few months under the old tariff were rendered possible, will thus lose heavily. Money, which is already scarce enough in New York, will become still scarcer, and a financial crisis there may speedily ensue. As the next Congress may witness the intro, duction of new tariff bill, the new in- dustries which the present tariff was devised to foster will most certainly fail to come into existence"
 The same sombre view of the business situation on both sides of the Atlantic is taken by the London Findncin Nelcs,

THE SINGLE TAX AT WORK

August Belmont, who died last week leaving a fortune valiously underesti- mated at from ten to twenty million dollars, paid in recent years a personal property tax on a valuation of only Sl00, 900. He owned comparatively but little real estate, his most important holding of this character being his palatial residence on Fifth Ave, which. including the costly furniture and works of art, is worth about S2,000, GOO. His immense wealth was therefore. practi
 cally free from taxation. But in this respect Mir. Belmont was not the object of special favor, since it is a well known fact that all our millionaires enjoy the same privilege of exemption as to their personal property, which includes all forms of capital and. as a rule, is many
