Henry Georges Capitalistic Nostrum and
 Political Trickery Exposed by We'll Informed Socialists-Collapse of the
 Prophet.
 At the Socialist League Rooms, in Sidney, on the 7th of April, W. H.. M'Namara lectured on "Henry George and Charles Bradlaugh: their attitude on the labor question:" He first referred to the action of the Trades and Labor Council of New South Wales in refusing to take any part in the reception of Henry George, the genuine opinion be- ing that "he was no friend of labor" Viewing the changing career of George in the United States, and after carefully analysing his press and platform state- ments, we cannot be surprised, said the lecturer, that the great majority of laborers regard him with distrust and suspicion
 EXPLOITING THE K. OF L.
 A letter had appeared in the daily pa pers from Mr. Johnson, the George cam paign secretary, attempting to show that Mir. George must be friend of la Dor because T. V''Powderly had written a note wishing the land tax crusade suc- cess, and also pointing out that resolu- tion had been passed to the effect that "Occupancy and use should be the only title to land," &c., at a convention of the Knights of Labor. Now, in the first place, the resolution did not commit the Knights to the single tax only, as advo- cated by George but to tax that would take all the land value, regardless of any other tax that might be imposed on ca pital, Mr. Johnson had said that the Knights of Labor body was the largest labor organization in the world, We'll, through the scheming of leaders and the failure of strikes against the large capi- talist combinations, the Knights of La- Dor in America had dwindled down from the great industrial army it once was of 1,000,0 900 to about 200.00 men, if not less. The American Federation of La, Dor, which is now the strongest and largest radical organization of laborers, numbers about S00,000 members. So the Knights of Labor are long way from being the 'largest organization" of la. Dor. Moreover, only part of the number are controlled by the Powderly machine. Various assemblies of the order are inde- pendent or in open rebellion against the Philadelphia Triangle" The speaker went on to describe the formation of the
 UNITED LABOR PARTY
 and its great influence, until George and his lieutenants brought about it's disnte. grafton and general ruin through their single tax and free trade gerrymandering and their alliance with Grover Cleveland and the Democratic party. The minute and accurate statement of facts pre- sented by the lecturer showed how well informed the socialists of Australia were Tn relation to the whole history of the so called George movement in the United States; a movement which, as he CO., rectly observed, was brought about by the combined action of socialists and land natlonalists, who were not single taxers. In the course of his remarks he said:
 When capital was driving labor to desperation in the States, and a great agitation issued for an eight-hour labor l day, which eliminated in extensive l strikes and shooting down of the work | CTS, an indignation meeting was called |

1t has Just come to light that party Of
Chinese who last week attempted to smuCgle
themselves into the United States from Lower
California, got lost on the desert and had n
terrible eXIerience, one OF the party dying OF
thirst and EXPOSURE They found the frontier
SO closely guarded that they stole march
toward the eastward and got into the desert.
Hero they got lost and wandered almlessly
around for several days. suffering unutterable

Ono Of the Mongolians was n youth OF some
IA years. lie gave out underline terrible suffer.

agined the blistering sands Wore limpd water
and eagerly filled his Rarched mouth with the
burning particles. This only added to his
horrors and pretty soon he lay down 10 die

TO render him any assistance; Here they heaped
q pile OF sand upon him and left him alone to
sleep his last long slumOer. while they, with
