BlSMARCk'S FALL.
A story Of Bismarck That has not yet
Been Pu blished,

A story Of Bismarck That has not yet
Been Pu blished.
That is very dramatic story that
comes from London regarding the
true inwardness of the resignation of
Count Bismarck. TheLondon Times
published recently a story which
made a profound sensation through
out Europe, and it is to the effect
that after the difference, already
related, between the Emperor and
his minister, Bismarck exclaimed:
'"Then 1 can only tender your
majesty my resignation" Little
could he dream it would be accepted,
and when an aide-de-camp waited on
him for it he was sent away with an
excuse for it's delay.
Now comes the astounding part.
Bismarck sought an audience with the
Empress Frederick. "In panic at
his fall" relates the London Times,
''this man, who but the day before
had been the great chancellor, now
stopped before her whom he had so
long humbled, and explained the dan
SSI W CuC lufOlVCu IN his 1all,
and the fatal consequences which the
young emperor risked in this over
turning of the founder of the empire.
He begged her majesty to intervene
and prevent the disaster to Germany,
and the remorse that her sovereign
would feel at this unmerited humilia-
ton OF his most faithful servant"
The Empress heard his story, and
her reply will live in history as long
as the history of nations shall exist.
It was this:
81 much regret being quite power
less. should have been extremely
glad to intervene with my son in your
favor, but you so employed all your
power in estranging his heart from us,
making his mind foreign to mine, that
[ can only witness your fall without
being able to ward it off. When you
are no longer there, my son will per-
haps draw nearer to me, but then it
will be too late for me to help you.o'
In the entire history Of Europe there
has never been chronicled a more dra-
matte scene than this. It needs q
Shakespeare to embalm it in immortal
literature. The chancellor left the
presence of the empress with bowed
head, and Immediately rendered his
resignation, which was accepted.

No man is very strong who is not strong
enough to control himself.

Demosthenes, the Grecian orator, cured
his stammering by having his mouth full
of pebbles, and many are the modern ora
tors who have cured their hoarseness by an
occasional dose of Dr. Bulls Cough Syrup.

A RAILWAY EMPIRE.

Under this caption our esteemed con.
temporary, the New York Commercial
bWlftul, observes with boundless admi-
ration that prior to the war. when this
country numbered already 30 millions
of inhabitants, the revenue of our ma
tlonal government was only one half as
large AS the present income of the Penn
sylvania Railway, whose gross earnings
were last year, in round figures, 1874
Millions We quote: "The Pennsy lvania
system is an empire in itself; vastly
more important than many empires in
the work which it performs, in the part
which 1t plays in the business and indus
try of the world. in the wealth it repre-
SCENTS, controls and has accumulated,
and in the revenue it collects. 1t is
scarcely necessary to add that this sys-
tenn is inconceivably better managed
than most empires.
All Of this we agree to-eXcept the last

The Chicago International Labor

init me to convey to you the thanks of
the |. l.. c. A for publishing the call for
an International Labor Congress in '93
in Chicago and also a word of explana-
ton in its regard
The Association at Chicago has never
intended to usurp the power or to in
trench upon the prerogatives Of the
proper authorities Of the International
Labor Movement, as referred 10 III the
ADVOCATE
But 50 far that movement has been
confined almost exclusively to Europe,
very few delegates from the United
States being present at the last Congress.
We realize that in order IL swing this
country into line a great amount of
agitation Is necessary.

SOCIALIST LABOR PARTY
HELP THE CHICAGO MOVE
MEN

Much Of our space is given this week
to a full report Of the Socialist Convcn-
ton held in Chicago on the 7th INST.
at which full ticket, headed by our
widely known Comrade T. j. Morgan IN
candidate for Mayor, was nominated.
Upon the vote that will be cast in
Chicago for this ticket on the It'll Of
next month Will greatly depend the
rate at which the Socialist movement
may be expected 10 progress throughout
the country within the next six months.
Nay; success thereby which we simply
mean a Socialist vote sufficient in
strength to have II marked significance
and attract general a.tention--would
everywhere advance the cause in one
day more ttectuaIly than we could
otherwise do it III years.
Every effort, every sacrifice, should
therefore be made to help our Chicago
comrades in their brave fight against
the most corrupt politicians and capital
lists to be found on the face of the earth.

is so far ahead of that in the United
states that the principles which form
the ground work for the success of the
movement are far better understood
there than here.
Our work lies in propaganda and if
the radicals Of the United States will
assist, by next June we will have a large
number OF signatures to a petition or
request to be presented to the Brussels
Congress. We also deem 1t of the
utmost importance to seize upon the
opportunity which will be presented at
the time of the Exposition to place the
Labor Movement on a proper footing
and give II tn right impetus. We have
received such encouragement from
unexpected quarters that we are sure
the seed we are sowing is falling into
good ground, Over / 200 organizations
have received the letter and we are still

NATIONALIST CLUB NO. 3.

Indiyidualistlc Logomachy-In ATTEMPT
ing to Explain His system, Anarchist
O'Shea RESPONSIVENESS the Govern
ment that He has Demolished
els Socialistic Government an EviH"
was the subject OF the debate last Sun
day afternoon between Comrade Gyn
and Mr.. A. OShea, an anarchstic in
dividuaist, who thoroughly believes in
corporations.
Comrade Glyn opened the debate in
the negative, by showing that the an
archistiC position is contradictory to
what we can observe IN both the
animate and the inanimate worlds,
which are governed by laws and only
exist by virtue of those laws. He
read extracts from the works of natu-
rallsts, showing the prevalence of law
and government among the lower ami
mails. He deserted it in the ant-hlll,
the wasps nest, the rookery, the bee
hive and in the herds of elephants, an.
telopes. peCCaries, etc, which, as had
been proved by the naturalists, could
not exist without some form of govern
ment. Finally, man himself has in all
time established and lived under some
form of government. Consequently, the
anarchists position of no government"
is in direct conflict not only with the
history of man but also with the con-
ditons that prevail in the entire animal
world.
COmrade Glyn expressed the hope that
the indlviduatist in replying would not
hold up as a pattern the present pluto
cratic government, which Socialists
wished to suppress as earnestly as any
anarchist did, but would endeavor to
disprove the necessity for government
of any kind.
The SOCIALIST government. he said is
simply the people organized into an in
dustrlal COMMUNICATED for all, and
all for eaCh-eXtraCting from Natures
bounty under the leadership of their
ablest men, selected by the people them
selves, the physical elements of human
comfort and happiness.
Mr.. OSbea, however, entirely disre.
gardcd in his reply the wish of his
opponent. He held up as a sample of
government the present condition of
affairs under the corrupt management
OF the plutocratic parties everywhere
and condemned the Socialists because of
the wrong done by those governmental
indiyiduaIists. He even went SO far as
to claim that the Socialists didn't wish
to abolish the present government
He then said he had no objection 10
10000 men assoclating together to &C.
compllsh any end, or to 10000 of such
associations combining. He did not
seem to realize that he was thus prac-
tically re establishing government on a
socialistic basis.

PLUTOCRATlC GOVERNMENT.

1t is estimated that under the appro-
priations made by the last Congress-, our
national expenditures will reach the sum
of AG5 millions this year. and SAP mil
lions next year While our interest
bearing debt has decreased 500 million
dollars since 1885, our annual expendi-
lures in 1892 will have increased very
nearly $50 millions OF all great nations
France alone, with a public debt six
times as large as ours and stupendous
military establishment, has a larger
budget than that of the United States.
Our pension fund in 1899 will exceed by
at least 30 per cent the total cost of the
German army, 1t has increased from
q millions in 1873 to 107 millions in
1890, and will reach over 1875 millions
next year, Our little army, our rotten
navy, our sham Notifications and Var
starved Indians will cost us in the aggre-
gate IS millions
Our plutocracy, which at first was
inclined to grumble, is now fully recon
ciled to this policy Of magnificent waste.
1t sees clearly that, while but little of
the money thus spent comes out of its
pocket. most of it finally goes into its
Golfers. Even the pensioners, who might
be supposed to derive great benefits
from he bounty of the nation, are
turned into an agency Of plutocratic
profits. The pensions they receive are
not large enough to permit them to live
without working, but they are made to
work for less wages "because they can
now afford it, In the same manner
were the Poor Laws of England devised
to supply her manufacturers with cheap
labor AT the public expense.

profits, while such as Chauncey NJ, De-
pew might remain undisturbed in their
situations of first lackeys.
We do not pretend to know how far
Jay Gould has lately advanced towards
the realization Of this scheme; bat that
such is his scheme and that he will
finally succeed cannot be questioned,
In the meantime it is a part of his policy
to have people believe that he has
neither the "brain" nor the money to
carry it out

HIDING HIS GAME.

1t was latel y reported in well informed
plutocratic organ that certain Wall
street oracle, inspired by Jay Gould,
had derided the idea that the latter was
actually contemplating the cOncentra-
ton, under one management, of the
American railway system. One of the
reasons he gave for his scepticsm was
that, while such a scheme might some
day in the remote future prove prac-
cable, it was not SO now: First, because
the railroad interests were still too much
divided and antagonistic; and secondly,
because the methods of management
were still too diverse and therefore
taking the system as a whOle-t0o com.
pIicated. In other words there was not
at present capitalist with sufficient
brain and money to accomplish such
gigantic work as the consolidation of the
railway system.
Surely Jay Gould must have laughed
in his sleeve when he read-or rather
when he inspired-this opinion of him
self. The man whose telegraph poles
are lining every railroad in the country,
and whose telegraph offices are promi-
nent feature of every railroad station,
knows well enough that it is easier to
run harmonious whole than any part
of Earring machine. He knows that
the administration Of a complete mon
opoy, such as the consolidated railway
system wond be, requires much less
expediture Of ''brain' than does partial
monopoly, liable still to a certain amount
of competition, such as the Vanderbilt,
the Jay Gould, the Pennsylvania and
the other railroad systems are, The ex-
petition and distribution of mail matter
is actually a more extensive business, if
not in bulk, at least in the multiplicity
of services, than is the industry of rail
way transportation; and it is far better
conducted; yet, as a rule our Postmas-
ter Generals are not men of transcen-
dent genius.
The brain question may therefore be
safely dismissed. Remains the money
question But this also is evidently
puerile. Jay Gould does not II, ed to buy
out all the railways in order to effect
their consolidation. by merely combin
ing the interests of a score of railroad
magnates, who control all the trunk
lines and main arteries, he can very
eTecually achieve his purpose. The
fact that the secondary lines, mere feed
ers, would then be at tie mercy of the
combination, SO that their property
must sooner or later pass into the hands
of the coalesced magnates at a price
considerably less than its immense ag-
gregate value, is Of itself an irresistible
inducement to such men as Vanderbilt.

me reckless waste OF the puDllC funuS
by Congress in order to create such
state Of affairs that the manufacturing
monopolies may not have to fear a re-
duction of the tariff, is likely to prove a
boomerang. Suggestions are coming
needed to meet the eXtravagant expen
dltures CT the government should be
raised by a graduated income tax.
While we Socialists do NJ believe in
any form of taxation, we nevertheless
commend this to Henry George as an APP
propriate, timely and practical substi-
tute for his play edout single land tax
scheme. He should take the stump for
for it; there's money in it "
In a private cn cuar to its patrons,
such as bankers and brokers are accus
toned to issue weekly or monthly, a
Boston firm of money lenders writes;
"Among the contribut0ry causes of
hOpefulness are: 1.-The confirmation
from every quarter Of the West of the
| favorable indications for crops; 2 The
| final adjournment Of the Kansas Legis-
lature without passing any detrimental
| railroad bills or other unjust or impolitc
measures invented or championed by the
| Alliance; 3-The probability, amounting
| almost to assurance, that the same will
| be the case with the other Western
Stny ,1l, l,,l ;
in last NOrembers election 4-The rapid
growth Of intelligent opinion over the
whole country that Legislative idioCy or
| uncertainty is the chief of the COntri-
| butOry causes of business trouble, and
that stability of business conditions,
| freedom of them from legislative inter
| ference, is the prime requisite for a re
turn of prosperity; The certainty, by
reason of the extravaganza of the Con,
| gresslOnal appropriations that the -ecre-
tary of the Treasury will have as much
as he can reasonably manage for some
time to come in tinanCiering his own de-
partment, without systematically med
| ding with the markets Of the country at
large, as he has been accustomed to do
several times year for great many
years past by reason of surplus aCCumu-
lations and on the theory Of giving relief
in moments OF stringency; 6-The evil
| denCe that London is financially compe.
tent to meet the worst consequences of
the development of Its foreign invest
ments."
Here, again, we have an instance of
the deep conviction prevailing among
the money magnates that the farmers
movement, on its present lines, must
necessarily prove abortve; and this con-
vlctlon, we must say, appears fully
justified by the final adjournment of
the Kansas Legislature without passing
any detrimental railroad bill or other
measures championed by the AIliance.'
True, the Kansas Senate is in the hands
of the Republicans, but precisely because
of this circumstance it was incumbent
upon the House, which is in the hands
of the Alliance, to make square issue.
| This 1t did not dare to do, knowing well
that the plutocracy had the farmers of
Kansas by the throat and would strange
them the moment they attempted to be
free.
