In serving the public, or in saving life

operated railways of Victoria, the man
agement devotes It's attention-with q
due regard to economy-to the cOnven-
ience, comfort, and safety OF railway
users, and employees having no bond or
share holders to provide for. In the
United States one of the useless traffic
associations pays its chief umpire nearly
as much as Victoria pays her entire COM
mission.
Those desirous of entering the railway
service Of Victoria are subjected to such
q rigid examination as to qualifications
and character, that but little more than
one-third are able to pass the ordeal,
and high standard of excellence in the
personnel of the service results; when
these servants are disabled or worn out
by long service, they are pensioned or
given a retiring allowance, and this sys-
tenn tends to reduce the inclination to
strike, as a man who has been years In
the service will long hesitate before he
forfelts his right to provision OF this
kind.
All the Australian reports and accounts
which have come under the observation
of the writer, are models Of conciseness
and clearness, and show that there is
nothing inherent in railway accounts
rendering 1t necessary that they be made
obscure and misleading.
Neither in the Australian reports nor
in the colonial press is there the least
evidence of determinations against indi-
viduals or localities, and this one fact is
an argument of greater force in favor Of
national ownership than all that have
ever been advanced against it.

DESERVED OFFICIAL RECOGNITION

The Government Examination of Baking
Powders Royal Officially Reported Pure.
The reports Of the government analy-
sis, as made public from time to time in
the official reports, form useful subjects
for study. A great deal of attention is
devoted to the examination. of baking
powders, and very properly so, for they
are articles of general use, and many Of
them being SO grossly adulterated all
possible information should be given to
enable consumers to distinguish be-
tween the good and the bad.
A large number of these articles have
been analysed, the samples being col
lected from dealers in all sections. The
impurities found were principally alum
and lime, both unwholesome. The alum
is used in place of cream of tartar be-
cause of its cost. The lime, both tar
trate and sulpha'e being found, was
present from the use of improperly re-
nneQ cream OF Gaftar.
The analysts found and reported the
Royal Baking Powder to be pure, free
from lime, alum and phosphate acid,
and of high leavening strength. A COM
plete analysis would undoubtedly have
shown no baking powder except the
Royal entirely free from some one Of
these Objectionable ingredients. This,
we presume, accounts for the lack Of
leavenIng power in the other powders,
as sometimes complained of by the cook,
and for the bitter taste found in the bis
cults 80 frequently complained of by our
selves.
The reasons for the chemical pnrity of
the Royal Baking Powder were recently
given in the New York Times, in an in
teresting description of new method for
refining argols, or crude cream Of tartar
1t seems that it is only by this process that
cream of tartar can be freed from the
lime natural to 1t and rendered chemi-
cally pure; that the patents and plant for
this cost the Royal Baking Powder Com
pany about half a million dollars, and
that they maintain exclusive control Of
the rights
This official recognition of the purity
and value of the Royal Baking Powder
by the government will add to the al
ready wide popularity of that article,
and deservedly 80.

next? Will our political economists still
adhere TO old ideas and our statesmen
cling to shattered planks and quote the
old law and constitution while clvlliza-
tiOn sinks into vortex Of barbaFismg
Or will they accept the changing condi-
tions of society and take warning In time
to arrest and stop the tendency to ruin
and desolation? We know that a poF-
ton Of our laborlng class is to-day
forced to accept conditions imposed by
capitalists that are not any better than
the condition of our former slaves. We
know that the insatiate greed for more,
the all.controling motive Of the rich, will
force all labor of every kind to this con-
ditlon when capital attains full power
and control. Admitting this to be true
the condition to which society is rapidly
tending, it Is then pertinent 70 ask II all
the laborlng class will as tamely and
quietly submit TO these conditions as that
portion of their number who are already
forced to accept it. Is it possible TO
force them down step by step to level
so low that they will finally not recog-
nize the difference between freedom and
slavery? No one can deny but this is
the condition that the lords of wealth are
determined to force upon all who must
labor for living. The concentration Of
capital in few powerful combines will
enable the trusts TO enforce their de-
mands, these combines viii have full
control of all trade and business thatwill
furnish employment to labor, and all who
must work for living will be compelled
to work for them. Labor strikes viii
then no longer pay; nor will arbitration
be considered, for the lord Of wealth will
in reality so nearly own the labor that 1t
will be forced to accept any conditions
imposed or suffer the pangs Of hunger
till this forces q compliance. The aver
age laboring man Of to day may deny
this conclusion, and say such a state or
condition can never be imposed on the
people In this free country, but how Will
he reconcile this opinion Of his with the
absolute fact that thousands are at this
very day and hour laboring under these
very conditions without hope of anything
better in the future? Stop and study.
Capital has registered Its oath that la
Dor shall be its slave, What have we to
hope for or expect from an infamous
cabal OF this kind, which, while possess
ing all the wealth of the world, would
rob famishing widow of her last loaf,
OF an orphan of it's crust, in order TO add
the plttance to Its boards Of gain?
The rich Of to-day are monomaniacs,
with but one over-towering, all-contFol-
ling idea or passionate love Of money.
This lnordinate greed for gain destroys
and obliterates every noble sentiment In
the plutocrat'S soul. We may be abso-
lutely certain that we are to receive or
expect nothing from this class but op-
preston. He who to-day says there is
no conflict between labor and capital is
fool, whether he be political economist
statesman or preacher. The idea is alb
surd. The war Is wsging all over the
so.called civilized world, and will be
carried on till capital either conquers
and makes slaves of all labor, or tiil la

cess has been going on for the past twenty
years, but with greatly increased force
In the last five years. Capitalists have
concluded that the old competitive
system, wherein one set Of money
grAbbers would bid against another in
the attempt to get possession of profits,
is not the most scientific way of robbing
the masses Of all comfort and prosperity.
The competitive, for this reason has been
discarded by the great capitalists, and
the trust system instituted to take its
place With this system In operation,
capital viii simply make all the condl-
tions, and all that class of the people not
rich enough to belong to q trust will
simply have to accept the conditions
offered, and live by 1t If they can--or
they will have the privilege Of starving.
To prove this position, we have the Oft
told condition OF the $4,000 sewing
women In the city Of New York, who
must work from fourteen to sixteen hours
a day in order to make enough to furnish
about haleenough food to sustain life as
nature requires. Why is It that this half
famishing army of overworked women
are thus forced to sell their labor so
cheaply? Simply this, the few great
clothing concerns for whom they are
working, are the only combine that fur
nishes this kind of work. The labor
market is overstocked. This gives those
who furnish the labor all the advantage
they want, and their unholy greed for
gain will force those In their employ to
starvation, if this would but add a trife
more to the net profits Of the business.
If the rich clothing houses can add to
their accumulated millions by forcing
thousands of industrious human beings
to death and the grave, their Infamous
greed for gold will institute and force the
condition. To further prove this con-
cluslon, read the story of human degra-
datlon in Gen. Booths Darkest Eng
land" We need no further or stronger
proof Of the extreme tasks that capital
lstic combines and trusts will force on us
all in all lines and classes Of labor, when
the money power once secures full con-
troll of labor-s position which Is being
rapidly consummated. The railroad In
terests of this country are concentrating
and In very few years the whole aggre-
gate of capital invested railroads will be
under one management, with absolute
power to tax the traffic all 1t will bear;
which means that the farmer and pro-
ducer will get just enough for his pro-
duct to allow Of his raising 1t, and the
freight will be fixed 80 that all the freight
will go to the railroad trust. One man
In New York will then have the power
to fix q freight tariff so as to rob the pro-
ducers and consumers Of one, two, three
or more hundred million dollars year
on the freight traffic Of the country. A
banking trust will have charge Of all the
currency and surplus money of the coun-
try, and will hold mortgages on the bal
ance Of the property. A manufacturers
trust will control all the lines Of manu-
facture, and a coal and light trust will
have charge of all this product-coal,
gas and electric light. A commercial
trust will fix the prices on all goods
bought and sold by the people, and the
small dealer in every line will disappear

are moving toward organization. Just
as soon as the people are sufficiently en-
lightened to know where the trouble

just as soon as labor is organized into

hEAOONO WHA We onOUnO OO-ON EnA L Ne
Assuming that the new beginners are
interesting themselves in the study Of
the poor mans political economics,it may
be we'll for us to look into the causes
which are making it necessary for us to
adopt the new system, and give some Of
the reasons why the laboring masses
should thus aim to associate their inter
ests for their own protection. The most
rampant enthusiast who Is ever pointing
to and declsiming on the great advances
our country is making in material prog
ress, will have to admit that about all
this boasted progress, this great increase
in wealth, is enjoyed by one-twentieth Of
the people, while the nineteen twentieths
of our population find their progress
checked, and the struggle for existence
becoming harder and more desperate.
There must be cause for this change in
the conditions Of society. Twenty years
ago man with a few hundred dollars
could invest his small means in some
business or trade, and with good man
agement be reasonably certain Of making
himself prosperous; but to-day il he so
invests his small means he is equally
sure of losing it by being crowded out
by some one who has larger capital.
Capital has thus gained influence and
power TO such an extent that 1t is able to
control all conditions by which wealth
and prosperity are gained, and blythe force
of this power it is driving the smaller
competitor from the field and forcing
him back to the ranks of labor. There
is no line of trade or business but what
Is beginning to feel the effects Of the
ruling force of combination in capital.
As this force materializes and becomes
stronger and more powerful, the number
of those who will own and control the
wealth will diminish, as the fortunes in
