Mr.. Hannes-PhilOsopher of Misery.
Boston, March 1890.

Mr.. Hannes-IHllOs0pnef OI misery.
Mr.. Hannes is a philosopher. His labor
philosophy runs in the following strain:
'If the ruling classes-the capitalists
were not so enormously stupid, they
would use tactics to keep their class rule
going for a long time to come. They
would let workmen earn enough money
to have purchasing power; would keep
them in steady employment and have
satisfaction all around would shorten
their hours of work, according to the
progress of combination, machinery,
chemistry etc. The profit of increased
consumption would flow back into the
pockets of the exploiters. Society would
be saved and nobody would kick. They
do not use this strategem WHY" Mr..
Hannes says they are crazy.
They make the exploited work long
hours-twelve and more. They apply
the iron law of wages to the fullest ex-
tent, press wives and children into wage
bondage, in short treat their animals
better than their fellow men who create
untold wealth for them without any ex-
ertion on their part. Mr.. Hannes is an
old timer, knows all about this; he con-
dennis the competition system in strong,
very strong terms, and as a philosopher
Of the pessimist school, he advocates a
forcible destruction of the damnaDle
system, and the substitution therefor Of
communism with the most possible G.
individualistic liberty" He detests all
the modern tactics of workmen, TO better
their condition; he declares the eight
| hour movement, the strikes, the boy
colts etc, to be humbug and calls Pc
| ltical action dance around the ballot
box. He reasons that the more people
are oppressed, the sooner they begin
to revolt, and that any improvement OF
their condition will make them satisfied
and unfit to enter the arena where the
battle between capital and labor is to be
fought. Like most philosophers he has
a remedy to recommend. His remedy il

expelled from Berlin after the Socialist
victories. He initiated in Holland the
life of the Carpenter of Nazareth to such
an extent that he sacrificed his fortune,

for the right of the workers. The pluto

The Single Tax and the United Labor
Party
GUSTAV SCHAEFER.
Brooklyn, March, 1890.


Editor of WoRKMEN's ADVOCATE
your issue of March /, in comment
ing on the lecture of Prof. Deleon
before the Riverside Association at Yon-
kers on February 10, somebody has
displayed wonderful want of know
ledge regarding the inception and orga-
nization of the United Labor party.
Prof. DeLeon asserted land you reasserU
that there was no single tax at the par.
TVS inception. Now permit me to claim,
as one of the organizers of that party,
that the single tax was the main issue
from the first inception of the party in
the year 1884, and at its reconstruction
in 1886. Neither Prof, DeLeon nor any
one outside of the organizations repre-
sented in the G. L. U. was at the party's
birth or reconstruction. If Prof. DeLeon
had said that Georges free trade racket
had nothing to do with the party's in
cepton he would have hit the nail on
the head. 1t was the free trade of
George that slaughtered the party. And
while | am speaking of this matter it
might be as well to state that the Profess
sor was one of the most ardent expo
nents of the single tax theory after he
became member Of the party.
In conclusion let me say that have
the greatest respect for Prof. DeLeon
and give him credit for good work in
the cause; but he was not at the birth of
the United Labor party, possibly through
no fault of his own. So let him not be
too sure when he speaks of the inception
of the United Labor party,
GEO. K. LLOYD.
New York, March 7.
P. ST. may add that while recog-
nizing great deal of logic in the single
tax theory | have never and am not now
broke up on the subject. G. X. l..
AS the above letter involves the accur.
acy of a historical statement first made
by Prof. DeLeon, courtesy demands that
we should first give him an opportunity
of replying if he desires to do 50. We
may state, however, that we fully
indorse his position; and our friend
Lloyd, whose sincerity and honesty
are unquestionable and unquestioned,
will probably be disposed to modify bis
own views, or recollections, if we mere.
ly call his attention to the fac, that the
single tax necessarily involves free trade
In other words, if the single tax had
been at the inception of the United
Labor party, free trade would have beer
there also. Our friend Lloyd is EN-
phatic that there was no free trade; con
sequently, there was no single tax. Ed

The Eight-HOur Day. NJ. Chamber
lin Confident of Success.

Your efforts to give correct reports of
trade movements are appreciated by all
who read the WoRKMEN's ADVOCATE.
The eight-hour agitation is progressing
with great vigor here in Massachusetts,
and so far as can learn the adoption of
the eight-hour day will not be seriously
resisted in this quarter. Many of the
capitalistic class are in favor of acced-
ing to the demand of the laborers in
fear of disagreeable results if opposition
is made to it.

ness. Long before the advent Of Ma
tionalism he was a pronounced oppon-
ent of Socialism and never missed an
opportunity to assail its principles, going
as far (as he does yeti as to allow most
liberal use of the Herdld'S columns to
its advocates in order that its claims and
pretensions might be analzzed, combated
or ridiculed on the editorial page. He
is a keen and close observer of social
events and tendencies; and, despite his
individualistic conceptions and convic-
tons, he is honest enough to admit that
everything points to Socialism in the
future. In an editorial last Sunday,
entitled keeping the Individual Free"
he said:
eve seem to be going through an I'M
conscious evolution, and, little as we
are inclined to indorse Mr.. Bellamy's
Looking Backward" that book could
never have obtained the currency that
it has reached unless it had appealed to
views which were in the minds of men
and had already become their social
ideals.
what we here emphasize is not the
advance of Socialism or Nationalism, 80
much as it is the unconscious way in
which things are shaping themselves in
the life of the hour. The movement is
a part of the industrial and social order
of today, and when this man calls it
Matt oil hnf ca
cialism, and another man calls it the
destruction of the individual, each one
judges iu the light of his own theory;
but it simply registers the fact that in
the management of things to-day the in
dividual withers, and the community,
the corporation, the trade union and
the trust are more and more doing what
the individual used to do when life was
less complex than it is now. No one is
to be blamed for this, and no one can
| help it. The simple point to be con-
| sidered is that what is a natural growth
of society shall not take away the right
and the power of initiative in the in.
dividual out of which comes great
part of his strength and influence.
This is the danger that we are in-the

action by which each man makes the
most of himself, and through which the
different classes interact upon one an
other and help to build up vigorous
life in the community. The struggle in
the near future, not more among the
laboring classes than among those who
employ the services of others, is to
secure the freedom of individual action,
the freedom to work at such prices and
in such places as are most advantageous
to ones self, and the freedom of every
employer to deal openly and freely with
those who have their labor to dispose of,
without dictation from outside parties. y
In the "near future we shall have to
meet arguments like these at every
corner The Herald judges of Socialism
in the light of its own theory of in
dividualism, to which nothing can %
more unlike than the individualism
it strives 50 hard to maintain.

These goods are out on the counters and are

small loss is better now than a greater one
later on. One lot of odd corsets at IS cents,
worth 90; one lot Of babies lace caps at IS

one may see her humiliation and nothing
he can ever DO will restore him TO the good

whom above all men hate most. the man
who Is my natural enemy and will always
be such as long as there are men, women

The sensation Of standing IN the street as

ahead, utterly ignoring you. IS beyond de

cool and Indifferent. We cannot betray
our real feelings, for a woman must al

her bosom is torn with distraction, appear

ARGF EXPORTS OF sU VFR

NEW YORK, July 29.-An evening paper
says: Large shipments of silver bullion to
London during the past few days has given
rise to much comment because it has been
predicted that as soon as the silver bill was
passed this country would be flooded with
the silver of foreign countries The actual
A month or so before the passage
of the silver bill London sent over a
million and half of ounces of
silver bullion to this country. This was
not because the Englismen thought the
silver bill would pass, but on the contrary
because they thought it would not pass
and they wanted to profit by the high
prices over here. Now the stream has set
in the other way and it bids fair to con-
tinue until the demand for silver here to
meet the requirements of the new silver
bill becomes greater than the demand over
there.

boston, July 21--Mr. Thomas Bailey
Aldrich, who has recently been succeeded
by Mr. Seudder as editor Of The Atlantic,
had one of the most beautiful homes imag-
Unable at 6S Mount Vernon street, Boston.
L had the pleasure of calling upon him
there not long since, and was ushered into
the large, old fashioned, roomy parlor, up
one fight of broad stairs, the poets favor
ite study being on the first floor, near the
entrance. One could not be more charmed
IN any place than upon entering this beau
tiful large double parlor. The very spirit
OF refinement was everywhere manifest
The mantsl in each room first attracted
and strongly riveted attention, each bear
ing large altar piece of gold, and all at
once the visitor found his fancy wandering
across the sea to their ancient home and
forming solemn pictures of cavaliers,
monks, maids, princes and peasants who
had often made their weary pllgrimsges to
the shrine of which these had formed
part.
The windows, too, were all in keeping
with the sanctuary, being similar to the
elegantly colored windows ordinarily seen
in churches Books were laid about in
great profusion almost everywhere, yet
not at all with that seeming negligence so
often apparent In the homes of book lovers,
and more especially makers of books. A
volume of Holmes poems lay upon table.
l took it up, opened it and found upon the
fly leaf an autograph inscription to "my
esteemed friend, Thomas Bailey Aldrich,
with the sincere regards of the author"
A splendid large volume bound in the
best morocco lay beside it. l took it up,
unfxed the hasps which clasped it and
found that it was copy Of 'The Poems Of
Thomas Bailey Aldrich," and on the fly
leaf found that this beautiful volume
which, by the way, was illustrated by
members of the Boston Paint and Clay
club, was presented by him to his wife, in
the following lines:
Take them and keep them. u

Upon the next blank sheet was written
in the same small but remarkably plain
handwriting of Mr.. Aldrich the following
very pretty verse:

Whatever else befall-while life flows by:

the charges that c. w. Long, a horse trad

here violating the regulations of the Ma
sons, of whom he is one. Henson and
Wooster returned home today, having
proven the charge against Long, as well
aus unexpectedly proving the infidelity
of WOoster's wife. The charge against
Long was living in Kansas City with a
woman in adultery The investigation
proved the woman to be the wife of Woos-
ter, of the Masonic investigating commit
zee. Long and Mrs. Wooster left Council
Grove about the same time, the former on
an alleged business trip and Mrs Wooster
on an ostensible visit to her family in
Illinois Mrs Wooster's illicit relation
with Long was never suspected and its
discovery was a surprise TO their friends,
the lady's character having always been

Fashionable Parasols.

The handles of fashionable English par
asols are much shorter than heretofore,
but the parasols are larger. There has
been an effort made to bring in tartan COW
ers, but it is doubtful whether they are to
be much used, except with speclai dresses.
For full dress occasions the silk SunsSSdas,
trimmed down the ribs with friIled chiffea.
having large bows Of ribbon on the top,
made in any color to match the dress, are
quite well worn; 50 are the nnousseline de
sole, edged with lace, double vandykes of
lace carried above. Sometimes frills Of
chiffon are arranged in double rows, so
that scallop comes in the center of ths
divisions between the ribs
