Workmen's advocate. (New Haven, Conn.) 1883-1891, 1891-02-07

fugees can be granted if the alleged
offence for which it is demanded is a
common crime, The Swiss Socialists,
however, have come to the rescue and
will demand the application of the
rctercHduw to the Hw that is its sub
mission to vote Of the people, by
whom it will unqurstouably be re
jected,
The London Daily chronicle of a re,
cent date published an interview with
Cardinal Manning, in which the latter
denied that he was a Socialist, or that
there was in his position upon the labor
question anything that could be con
Strued as socialistic. 1t was hardly
necessary for the distinguished prelate
Ia make such a disclaimer. Moreover.
the manner in which he made it is not
calculated to add to his reputation as a
man Of learning and logic. He first
stated that he did not know what So
CIalism was In the same breath he
claimed to know what was not social
/ istic Again, little further on, be pre-
tended to say what Socialism claimed to
be. Finally, after displaying an igno
rance Of the subject so amazing as to
cast doubts upon its genuineness, he
finally concluded that anyone who
calls social legislation socialstlC does
not yet know what Socialism means"
1t is, indeed, very certain that the
kind of ''social Legislation" which Car
dinal Manning advocates "for the pro.
lection of poverty and labor a legisla,
ton (which shall reach the social needs
of the whole commonwealth in all its
manifold classes and interests-is not at
all Sociallstic. What Socialism aims at
is not the promotion of "class interests
and the 'protectlOn of poverty" but the
abolition of all classes and all poverty.
! Cardinal Manning "dOes not yet know"
| that 50 long as there will be class inter
ests, there will also be poverty that is,
a class necessarily oppressed and there
fore unprotected. But, although the
distinguished prelate affects to know at
the same time so little and 20 much
about Socialism, he feels very keenly,
he sees very plainly, that it is rapidly
coming and that nothing is better cal
cuIated to promote its advance than the
| hoggishness of the classes. Hence his
sentimental Interference in the recent
conflicts between capital and labor,

We read in the Journal Of the knights

We read in the Journal Of the knights
Of LABOR:
''ln order to remove poverty and OPP
preston the Instruments Of labor must
belong to the toilers, the product to the
producers, the workshops to the workers,
and the land to the people"
To all of this we say "Amen", for it
is frank Socialism" But is this con
sistent with the compact made by Mr.
PoWderly, in the name of the Knights
of Labor, with Farmer Livingston
and Farmer Terrell and other great
political farmers at the convention
held some days ago in Washington a
report of which appeared in the same
number Of the ,JOurndl? Read the plat
form adopted there and you will not
find one plank providing either for the
Instruments, or for the product, or for
the workshops, or for the land or for
the workers themselves. PETER is right
The great middle class is "the people"
the wagc-workers are its tooIs-mere
prOletdirrS, not to I've counted except for
the empty heads which they carry on
their shoulders.

While the miners are making prepare.
tons for their great conflict with the
coal barons, the latter are making money
by the gross ton. The shipments of
anthracite coal in January this year
amounted to 2,425, 900 tons, as against
100000 for the same month last year;
an increase or $4,000 tons, or nearly 28
per cent.

1t will be seen, therefore, that all of
the locomotives built by the railroad
companies, and large percentage of
the product of the private works, are
absorbed in filling vacant numbers.
Workmen's advocate. (New Haven, Conn.) 1883-1891, 1891-02-07

Railroad statistics SHOW a decrease in
the bulk of freight and an increase of
gross earnings for the month of January
this year as compared with the same
month Of last year. In other words,
with a less traffic the railroads have
increased their rates of transportation.
What has become of the natural.
irrepressible law of supply and demand:
Will or professors OF economic hum
bugology tell us now that we should
worship the railroad power as a super
natural" agency?
Workmen's advocate. (New Haven, Conn.) 1883-1891, 1891-02-07

Our total forest area, outside of
Alaska, is estimated at little less than
five hundred million acres. Destruction
by fires, chiefly caused by railroads, has
assisted very Materially in reducing the
supply of timber lands. 1t has been
estimated that the depletion from this
one cause amounts to over ten million
acres annually. At this rate the rail
roads would destroy our forests in fifty
years. In many instances it was found
that the deep, rich soil had burned like
peat, thus rendering it totally unfit for
cultivation, Such is the treatment of
our natural resources at the hands of
Capitalism.

The East bound shipments from Chi
cago, which are fair reflex of the con-
dition in the Vest, show for last week a
decrease on the preceding week of 5000
tons and on the corresponding week of
last year a decrease Of 20, 600 tons.

Early steps ought to be taken to insure
a large representation Of the advanced
labor organizations Of this country at
the international Congress which is to be
held at Brussels this year in the month
Of August.
The Twenty -fourth Assembly District
of this city covers an area nearly as
large as that of Manhattan Island with
a population of only 10000. Nine
tenths of it consist Of vacant lots and
broad acres, held by spectators for a
rise. The tenement house system has
made its appearance there in its worst
form and in some parts the density of
population is even greater than on the
famous East Side" Diptheria is now
raging among the children and in the
great race between death and birth the
former has obtained an unprecedented
lead.

The Train at Whitaker

annexed reproduction OF the view Il
submitted to our readers. "
The train consisted Of four Baltimore
and Ohio cars, drawn by one OF the Ter
minal Company's engines, and was
backed up through the tunnel from the
B. 81 o. yard sometime before the de-
parture of the special was arranged for.
The cars were soon surrounded by
throng of people-passengers and others
and there was good deal OF specula-
tion during the wait as to how long 1t
would be before the Union passenger
station on the north bank OF the creek
would be completed. At half-past ten
the bell rang, and the train was backed
up the south bank of the creek, around
onto the Peninsula, where the engine
was reversed on the "Y," ana lew
moments thereafter the train disap-
peared in the tunnels, emerging upon
the big railroad bridge and steamlng
away over the river into Ohio.

Departed for Detroit Yesterday Morning, Over the Lines

The train was in charge Of Travelling
Passenger Agent Hines, of the Wheel
ing and Lake Erie road, over whose
lines the train was to run as far as
Toledo, and that gentleman went as far
as Steubenvile with the excursioniSts.
At Martins Ferry several other rail-
road officials boarded the train, as well
as a number of excursionists. In all
about seventy-fve people made the
trip from this city, and it will be a
delightful one, as they go through
without change Of cars.
The reason Baltimore and Ohio cars
were used, is that the Wheeling and
Lake Erie was so pushed for transpor-
tation facilities, as to be unable to send
passenger coaches here.
The fact that train has been run
out of the city directly into Ohio, marks
a new era for Wheeling, and is an earn
est Of what is to come, once the Ter
minal system is doing its perfect work.

Plans Already Prepared for the New

Several months ago the REGISTER an
nounced that the United States Baking
Co., trust controlling bakeries in all
the principal cities of the country, had
decided to erect a mammoth plant on
ground which it purchased at the
southwest corner of Main and Twenti-
eth streets. The shanties on the place
were torn down, and the ground clear
ed, but nothing was done toward
erecting the building, and it was gener-
ally supposed that the matter had been
allowed to drop for this season, at least.
Yesterday representative Of this pa
per met Mr. Howard Brennaman, man
ager of the Wheeling branch, and he
stated that he would go to Pittsburg on
Tuesday, to get plans and specifications
for the building. 1t is probable that
work will be started this season.
