ARMIES AND WORKlNGMEN.

Military reviews by Emperors, Kings and bourgeois Presidents are the order of the day throughout Europe; not this time with a view to war against each other, but in fear of their own subjects. How far they could depend upon the loyalty of their troops in case of an uprising is a question that they do not seem to consider
 It is evident that the armies of COnti- mental Europe, from the fact that they now comprise all the young men of each nation, sympathize with the people'and would fraternize with the workingmen if revolutionary outbreak of any large extent occurred anywhere. In this "de- mocratic' country such is not the case. The federal army is composed of mer- ttIidlltb, NuO lDl tllt lhbSl par IldF6 ilO other trade than that of soldier, while the state militias are largely recruited from among the snobs of the middle class, who would think it the finest of sports to shoot down "those dirty, grimy, ignorant laborers". By the way, has Adjutant General Drum begun his great strategic movement upon Cleve. land in cooperation with the Adjutan' General of Ohio, or will he wait unti the railroads are paraly zed by the i'm pending strike of the trainmen at Pitts burgt The cooperation of that very labor against which he has been con spring is, after all, an important facto

CAPlTALlSTlC ECONOMY.

An idea of the progress of British in vestments in foreigl countries may be formed from the fact That in the six years lSS2-8S, their total amount in- creased ten billion dollars (fl0, ,000 ,000,- 000); sum equal to one-seventh of the total wealth of the United States. In the same period the domestic investments increased only sixteen hundred million dollars. In other words the capitalists of Great Britain are now investing six dollars abroad for every dollar that they invest in their own country. This is very suggestive, not to say ominous. While many industries in all parts of the world are being bought up or "devel- oped' by British capitalists, their own are allowed, if not as yet to decay, at least to practically remain at stand still, thus keeping the home labor market" overstocked with unemployed workers. Of course, English states men" and economists of the Manchester school argue that protection ing thereby the tariffs imposed by foreign countries upon British manufac- tures--is responsible for this state of affairs; and they try to impress upon the mind of discontented labor not only the "futility" of clamoring for higher wages, but the necessity" of working for less in order to produce goods cheap enough to overcome the foreign tariffs and enlarge the foreign outlets. In other words, submission to a constant lowering of the rate of wages and progressive degradation of labor is the only remedy to starvation that those great statesmen and profound econom- ists can suggest to the working classes in country whose capitalists are enrich ing themselves to the tune of about two thousand million dollars year.
 In this country, with population nearly double that of Great Britain and Ireland, the annual accumulation of wealth is about three thousand million

ITALY.

The Central Committee of the Socialist Labor Party has issued an appeal to the working people of Italy to arrange parades, mass meetings or other celebra- tions on May and observe the day as a holiday as far as possible. The appeal has been received with great enthusiasm by the labor organizations and demon. strations will take place in all the larger cities. The Italian labor movement is rapidly gaining strength and is becoming more socialist as it grows. In Bologna seven labor organizations, including the walters union and the union of street car employees, have recently joined the Socialist Labor party.

The Melbourne correspondent of Brad, streets writes under date of March IS, that Georges combination of free trade and single tax is producing an effect quite contrary to that intended by his free trade packers, and that the narrow free trade majority in the New South Wales Parliament may be exchanged for a protectionist majority. He says, fur thermore: "Mr, George is looked upon coldly by the Melbourne trades unions who are proteCtiOnists to man, and so many people, from workingmen up wards, have invested in suburban allot- ments during the past few years, that his views are not likely to find acceptance with the Victorian public" Of course, under the capitalist system, which George has always strenuOusly advo. cated, (except in 1886, when he cOurted the votes and influence of the New York Socialists and was carried away by the radical tendency of the labor move menu, the wage-earning mechanics who have bought village or city lot with their small savings, or the working farm CTS who have invested their little all in z piece of agricultural land, object to the confiscation of the value of their pro perty in order to free the capitalists from taxation. Men have been and car still be deluded by the power of sophis try into the support of capitalism-no to that extent however.

decimating the ranks of the formidable army of labor, The government seemed at first determined to summarily pro hlbit the demonstrations, but in view of the self,possessed and determined attitude of the workingmen and their trusted leaders this plan has been abandoned and the government will contne itself to the role of an armed observer, keeping the military in readi. ness for an "outbreak."
 But the German working people feel confident both of their power to enforce holiday and of their ability to manage gigantic demonstrations with perfect order. In all the large cities most trades have declared for holiday, some trades have ordered holiday throughout the country, in many places holidays have been proclaimed by general mass.meet- ings. Among the cities where holiday will be generally enforced are Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Cologne, Breslau, Mayence, Chemnitz, Dresden, Leipzig, Halberstadt, konigsberg. The furniture workers and carpenters will make May 1 holiday in 40 cities. The Framers' Convention, which met at Gotha on April :, representing 80 cities, resolved to declare May holiday; a similar resolution was adopted at the national convention of building trades workers that met at Hanover. At Hamburg the holiday will be observed by 10000 work men. We could add to these details | filling every column of this paper. The large number of meetings held may be | judged from the fact that in Berlin reso lutions favoring a celebration of May were adopted at IS labor meetings il one day.
 A very extensive strike movement il going on at the same time. In mos cases the demands of the strikers includ, reduction of the hours of labor. Many of the strikes result in victory for th' workmen after a short stoppage o work. In almost every trade there is al enormous growth of organization ant increased activity. There IS more con tidence, energy and enthusiasm thai ever before and this is largely the resul of labors political victory in February The re enforced trade movement will II turn strengthen the political movement What an invigorating force this unit, of the movement, of its economic ant political phases! That unity lies il socialism!

AUSTRIA.

Though the authorities are taking threatening attitude towards the pro posed May Day demonstrations, the Au- strian workmen have made their arrange ments and will have grand demonstra- tions in almost every large city. In Prague meeting of 2,000 workingmen decided to make May 1 a holiday and hold meetings where petitions in favor of the Paris demands shall be signed. A holiday was also proclaimed at Trieste, Laibach, Buda-Pesth, and Krakau. De- monstrations will also take place in Vienna, where number of trades have proclaimed May 1 holiday.
 The Austrian working people are in state of general excitement. Owing to the reckless use of the soldery in every labor conflict, strikes and agitations assume more serious character in Austria than elsewhere. In Ostrau, Movaria, a bloody collision took place between miners and the troops, which was caused by the nasty interference of the government in an insignificant demonstration agalnst the parish priest who had denounced the May Day demon strations. The people smashed the priests windows and this was sufficient for the authorities to order out large military force. Three strikers were shot. The result was an immediate strike of all the miners of the district.
 The men employed in the large col lieries of Count Wilczek are also out on strike. The situation is "deemed so menacing" i've presume to the Count that the authorities have called out the military.
 The men employed in the mines and iron works of the Prague Industrial Society and of the Austro Ilpian Min ing Company have demanded eight hours. Should they quit work, general strike of all Austrian miners may be expected.
 An important strike is that of 6,000 carpenters of Gratz, who demand a re. duction of the hours of labor and an advance of wages. Other strikes affect the bricklayers, the hair dressers, the tailors and the metal-workers of Vienna.

We quote from capitalist free trad

We quote from capitalist free trade organ, the Indianapolis Sentinel
 "The Lake Superior iron ore compa- nies have been declaring more fat divi- dends. The Pittsburg & Lake Angeline Co.,, with capital stock of $500,00O doubtless largely water), has paid its shareholders $710,000 in profits during the last fifteen months. This is a rate of considerably more than 100 per cent. per annum on the capital stock-how much on the actual investment the Lord only knows. Other corporations are said to be doing as we'll. These corpora tions are enabled to pay the unconscion- able profits by the protection" of 75c per ton on their ores which our blessed tariff system gives them-ail "in the interest of American labor, of course.
 This tax on ores is a heavy burden on the iron industry of the country, and petitions for it's repeal, very numerously signed by manufacturers, are now be- fore Congress. But they will not be needed. The Lake Superior iron barons, however, will continue to pay their i'm ported foreign labor pauper wages, and meantime also, the men employed in the iron works of the country will con- tinue to be skinched in employment and wages in order that these millionaires may make more millions Great IS pro- lection"
 This is very well as far as it goes. But are not the capitalistic free traders as fond of fat dividends as the capitalistic protectionIsts are: Do they pay higher wages than the protectionists do? When did they object to the importation of pauper labor? Under free trade as under protection is it not at the expense of the working man that one trader beats his competitors?

RAILROAD LABOR,

The fifth annual report of the National Labor Bureau of Statistics, just out, deals with railroad labor. We have not, as yet, fully examined it, and as we have been taught by previous experience to receive Carroll D. Wright's state- ments with great caution, we shall for the present abstain from expressing an opinion as to the value of this last report.
 According to his figures, the whole number of railroads in this country on June 30, 1889, was 1,71S, with a mileage of 56,000 miles and 6S0, 912 employees. Statistics have been obtained concerning the wages of 241 ,9l0 employees, or about one third of the whole force, and among these it appears that the average rato of earnings was about $l64 per day. A complete investigation would pro- ably show that the average was consi- derably lower among the 44S,000 em- ployes concerning whom no wage-statis- tics have been obtained, for the reason that the largest number of the best paid must be included in the returns under consideration.
 An important fact elicited by the re. port tends to show the amount of lost time-mostly, of course. by compulsory ideness-among those who are fortunate enough to get employment. Where 224, ,570 men were employed on time, l l05, ,S07 could have done the work if em- 1 ployed the full time.
 Another important fact is given Of l the l,7lS roads in existence about 900 are leased and operated by the other 600. This tends to show the progress of rail- road concentration.

The working women of England are organizing. Mrs. Briant, who fully organized those in her own trade of cigarmaking in Nottingham, is now in London, addressing meetings and otherwise pushing on the good work. The following extracts from an appeal issued in Justice apply with as much force to the conditions of female labor on this side of the Atlantic as on the other side:
 "We ask all women to look around at the industrial world, and what will they find? Machinists, box makers, envelope folders, addresses, white lead workers, all working under conditions and at rates of wages that are a disgrace to humanity.
 "Young girls in the first blush of womanhood are filling our hospitals with horrible diseases, consumption, blood poisoning, and other horrors, brought on by insufficient nourishment and bad sanitary conditions. Consideration for the sex does not enter into the philos- ophy of the money getter, therefore, we urge you to shake off the spell of apathy, and deal the gigantic wrong that has oppressed our sex through centuries a blow that will break down a barrier which has so long blocked the way to a better and higher life. Let the news go forth that at length we are determined in return for our labor to have such remuneration as will give to us a nobIer and higher form of existence"
