ONLY ONE FAULT.

/ was riding through country
town In Vermont, when / noticed a
concourse ofpeople 10 church-yard,
encircling an open grave.
1t was warm day and / had rid
den ten miles; so drew the rein
under some trees, to allow the horse
to rest.
Presently a villager came towards
me and / said: "There is funeral
to-day in your town."
"Yes--Stephen. He was one OF
the largest hearted men / ever knew.
He had great abilities. We sent him
to the Legislature. three times. They
thought of nominating him for Gov
ernor. But, she added sadly, Este
phen had only one fault"
| made no answer, was tired, and
watched the people dispense, leaving
the sexton to his solitary work.
T" A very generous man, Stephen
was. Always visited the sick. The
old people all liked him. Even the
children used to follow him on the
streets" ~
"a good man, indeed" I said in
differently.
Yes he had only one fault"
"What was that?" / asked?
"Only intemperancs."
'Did it harm him?"
Eyes, somewhat. He didn't seem
to have any power to resist it at last.
He got behindhand and had to mort
gage his farm, and finally had to sell
it. His wife died on account of the
reverse-kind of crushed, disap-
pointed. Then his children turned
out badly. His intemperance SEEM
ed to mortify them, and take away
their spirit. He had to leave polit-
les; 'twouldn't do, you see. Then
we had to set him aside from the
church !; and at last his habits had
brought on paralysis, and we had to
take him to the poorhouse. He
died there-only forty-fve. Poor
man, he had only one fault"
''Only one fault" The ship had
only one leak, but it sank.
"Only one fault" The temple
had but one decaying pillar, but il
fell.
"Only one fault" Home gone,
wife lost, family ruined, honor for.
feited, social and religious privileges
abandoned, broken health, poverty,
paralysis and the poorhouse.
One fault, only one.

"Shall we go from abandoned
farms to deserted villages?" plain.
lively asks the Springfield, Mass,
Republican. 1t looks that way
in New England. The story told Of
the condition OF the rural life in
that section is a gloomy one.
Thrift does not follow the accused
war tariff and the hum of contented
prosperity is not heard where pro-
lection holds the baton. There
must come change, or manufactur-
ing New England will have only
decaying and deserted villages, and
farms upon which no crops ripen for
the harvest, and from which no
revenue is reaped even for the mon
ey-lender. Brunswick Times.

TAMPA AND KEY WEST ALARMED:

TAMPA AND KEY WEST ALARMED:
The Mckinley tariff bill alarms
Tampa and Key West, and with
very good reason. Those cities de-
pend largely upon their cigar facto-
RIGS. Those factories employ many
thousands ofmen and women. In
Key West alone the cigar factories
pay out between sS0,00O.and $780,.
600 per week. At least 10000
people depend upon these factories
for living.
The manufacturers say that if the
tax on imported tobacco is increased
as proposed in the Mckinley bill,
they must close their factories.
They cannot pay the tax and carry
on their business profitably.
The Mckinley bill increases, the
tax on Havana, wrappers" from IS
cents to two dollars a pound, and
makes ali packages OF filler
which contains any wrappers" at
all pay the same duty as "wrap-
pers." All bales of ''filler contains
some wrappers" and, therefore all
tobacco, whether wrappers or ell
ler,' would have to pay duty of so
a pound.
Could the manufacturers OF Ha-
vana cigars in this country stand
such tax? They say positively that
they could not. The price of Hava-
ma cigars manufs ctured in this coun-
try would be increased from SIS to
S25 per thousand.
The authorities in Cuba have been
trying to destroy the cigar industry
at Key West and Tampa. It's agents
succeeded in bringing on strike of
the cisarettemakers at Key West a
few months ago, and sent vessels to
take the dissatisfied strikers to Ha-
vana. They recognize that the
Key West and Tampa cigar manu-
facturers are the rivals of those of
Havana, and nothing would please
them better than to see the Tampa
and Key West factories closed.
The Mckinley bill will close them
much more effectually than they
could be closed by dissatisfied oper-
atives. Let it become a law and
the greater part Of the population
of Key West would have to go else
where or starve. Tampa has other
resources, but without her cigar
factories her prosperity would not
be so marked as it is.
Both Tampa and Key West man
utacture Havana cigars. The trade
for cigars of that kind is altogether
different from that for domestic CT
CARS. The consumers of Havana
cigars will have them whether they
are manufs ctured in Key West or
Havana. Tbs effect of the McKin.
ley bill, therefore would be to build
up the Havana cigar factories and
ruin those of Tampa and Key West,
and that, too, without benefting
the growers of tobacco in this coun-
try in the least. Clearly the Nc
Kinley bill is a wonderful one. It
would ruin some industries, while
pretending to protect others.

that woman could never experience Freedom until we had the socialist Com, monwealth in which she would be as- sured of the full product of her toll and Tn which all desirable occupations would be open to her.
 On the afternoon of the same day the section held rousing meeting on the Common. On this historic spot the agi. tation meetings of the section have been very successful. from their commence. ment last spring up to the present. Audiences during the last three Sundays have been all the way from one to five thousand strong This fact is significant. It shows what work has been done and is being done in disseminating the truths of socialism and how eager the masses are to receive them, although few additions have been made to the membership of the section.

port our doctrines? It is because they call them impracticable. Yet we stood ready to discuss these questions in pub lie with the leaders of the old parties Wherein are our ideas impracticablei Why not have the Government take the railroads and telegraph, as well as the mails? It is done in other countries.
 We are familiar with the iron law oi wages. It is that those who are em. ployed must take the lowest wages that will allow them to exist, or else be driv. en out by the army of unemployed. Any means that are advanced by the old parties are of no use to the laborers themselves. The laborers are the chief users of the products of the country. As each trust cuts down its production It turns out unemployed men to cheapen the wages of others. We cannot go on this way, Something must be done. The resources of nature must be placed in the hands of the people that they may produce for themselves.
 We record with pleasure the fact that the nomination of H. c. Wiltshire for Congress was endorsed by the Farmers Alliance in the following resolutions:

 WHEREAS, We believe that the Nation. alist Platform has d greater tendency that way than either the Republican or Democratic parties, and, as we have but little to hope for from either of those parties, as their record in the past has been mostly in favor of capital and mon. opoly, as against the producing clement; and.
 WHEREAS, The Nationalist candidate for Congress from the Sixth Congress sional District, is not only candidate but also member of the Alliance, and farmer; therefore, be it
 Resolred, That we. as an Alliance, heartily endorse the nomination of Mir. H. G. Wiltshire for Congress from the Sixth Congressional District, and will do all in our power to further his election, recommending our sister Alliances to do likewise.

There is no more dangerous symptom of decline among the masses, nor one harder to counteract, than that blindness to their condition that leads them to glory in the splendour of their oppressors. When the slavedom of eXpiringRome was hopelessly steeped in degradation, the gladiators chosen to entertain the Caesars with their own death, before plunging their swords or tridents into one another, complacently hailed the chief as men who were about to die. At the appear ance of President Harrison in Danvile, H., on the Eth instant, hundreds of bare chested workingmen" are reported to have waved their hats above their heads and filled the air with their cheers Thus in the great republic of the 18th century are repeated the scenes of declining Rome. The gladiators of our society, the workingmen of the bourgeoisie, forget, in the splendour of their Cesar the exploitation that, in the chilly temperature of the fall of the year, compel the baroness of their chests; and themselves about to die by the slow effect of physical and mental starvation, in the modern arena of the struggle for life, cheer the impersonation of their oppressors, and in the deirium of despair Justify wave their hats over their heads. Signs these be of where we are; straws denoting whither we tpnd

why the working class should lose no time in organizing politically. As was demonstrated by Lucien Sanial m the course of the great debate in the New | York Central Labor Federation, the economic organizations are becoming powerless, as the progress of capitalism advances the concentration of industry. As the great struggles of the telegraph CTS, the rail road employees, the brewers and other classes of labor have proven, labor cannot cope with concentrated capital through economic action alone As capital now uses the political power Of the State for the protection of it's interests, so must labor resort to politi- cal action to enforce its economic de. mands, to give to the concessions gained through It's trades-uniOns the sanction of law and thus make them permanent and applicable to all workers. Labor must use the political power to restrict the oppressive power of capital, to secure for itself the benefits of inven. tion and improved machinery, to gradu- ally establish a new industrial system which will do away with all exploitation and secure to all members of society a full share of the wealth and of the bes. sings of civilization which are the result of their toil.
 And while the political movement must have in view fundamental change of the social system, it will at the sane time be the only effective means of for. cling immediate concessions from the old party politicians. To the independent movement of 1886 and the fear of it's revival is due all the labor legislation scanty and bungling as It is, which has since been enacted and proposed. To it's collapse is due the abandonment or emasculaton of many of the measures that were then introduced in Congress and the State Legislatures. There is nothing that is surer to check the cam- paign just opened by concentrated capi- tai against the organization of labor, to insure the repeal of conspiracy laws, the enactment of eight hour laws, child labor laws, life and limb laws etc., etc., than the political organization of labor independent of all other parties. -Bakers ,JOu13luI

The American Section of the s. L. P, resumed it's agitation work in Grand Army Hall on Sunday evening, Oct. 5, when Miss Voltarine de Cleyre of Phila- delphia spoke on "The Kreutzer Sonata, or Tolstoi's Influence in social Reform. At the conclusion of her address she recited an original poem entitled "The Gods and the People," Previous to the meeting some of the comrades were somewhat doubtful as to the propriety of having such subjects as the above treated in socialist meeting, but before the speaker finished her address she made the audience feel the appropriate- ness of her theme.
 In the opinion of the speaker, Tolstoi's object in writing his "Kreutzer Sonata" was to turn, as it were, human nature inside out, to expose to the gaze of all, not only what people do consciously but, much which they do unconsciously. In her estimation the work showed how slavishly dependent woman is on man in our present state of society. It also showed how sensual the relation of man to woman IS in our day; how false and immoral that relation often is Such a condition was due very largely to the false teaching of the church relative to the sees. The prevailing system of com petition was also greatly responsible for the existing sensuality as well as for the abject dependence of woman on man. This was not saying that Tolstoi bad l given an absolutely true picture This he had not done He had distorted ob- i jects. She thought that competition could not be brought to an end and So cialism entered upon until woman had been so educated az to depend on her
 self, to be as self reliant as man. The different speakers who followed: | Comrade O'Neil and Comrade David Taylor did not agree with the conclusion of the speaker. They felt quite positive
