Centenary College, La, Jan. Is, 81.
Enough of this sort Of "straight
talk" mt the right time from high
Methodist authority like Bro. Hunni-
cult, and the probability is that the
late Constitutional Convention would
not have brought endless reproach up
on itself and bcqucathed unnumber-
ed woes to the people of this fair COM
monwealth by voting to "maintain
the drinking saloon"
But brother Hunnicutt's indictment
is broader. 1t includes "the Ameri-
can people who legally establish and
maintain the drinking saloon" And
this being true, how are those to es
cape who continue to support the old
whisky parties and whisky candi-
dates
Like him, we pause for a reply.

Editor WORKMEN'S ADVOCATE:-In the
struggle for freedom and at the close Of
my tfty-fourth year | am with you in
the grand march to true civilization.
When quite youth | read in one of my
school morning lessons this sentence:
IAN that came before me were thieves
robbers.' And for the benefit Of hypo-
critics and pharisees that worship him
who said this it may be observed that all
his predictions were to the effect that
no end would come to the misery of the
world until the age and order Of things
known as competitive had also come to
an end, From his day to ours we may
indeed look vainIy for anything like the
equality of man thai he proclaimed,
hut we may find everywhere the same
rObbpr systems that he denounced.
| do not believe all that has been
written con cerning this eminent jew;
hut | learned to love him who sacrificed
his life in the defense of human brother
hood He would not own where SO
many were disowned. Like our brothers
who We're murdered by hypocrites he
angered the thieves that stole the poor
widows mite, and he was the friend of
the unfortunate Mankind are waiting
and hoping for the age of equity which
he said must come.
| love the WORKMEN'S ADVOCATE for
the fearleSsness it displays in the cause
of true Socialism. 4 certain kind of
sovereignty or rule must exist as long
as school for civilization is needed
And if | know what Socialism is, this
sovereignty or rale must obtain not
through violence but through education
over enough of mankind to organize a
new system of cooperation, that will
overthrow and supersede all other sys-
tens. | would hasten the day by
plfdging my support to daily paper.
| see that this subject is now taken up
by some of your readtrs. Step to the,

An Open Letter TO Professor Walker

Professor Walker-ln the last issue of
the WORKMEN'S ADVOCATE attention is
called to your recent addreS, before the
"AmeriCan Economic Association" You
there undertook to Call Nationaism
pseudo socialism; you referred to Its phe-
nomenal growth; and with innate mo-
deoty you attempted to prophesy that
its devoted disciples would sooner or
later perceive their error and retrace
their steps into your economic army!
Are you the same Walker, the Profess
sor, who some ten months ago prophe-
sled-'professed', | presume l should
say because of your title-that he could
scatter Nationalism and its dreamy doc
trines to the winds and tried to do it,
and who now tacitly admits the thing
has grown beyond bis reach? If you are
the same, do you not think that you
are spoiled for a prophet and had better
try your hand at some other work than
prophesying or protesting?
As to your opinion that NatlOnalistS
are such because they have not yet
learned by "a careful study Of history,
and OF the material conditions of human
existence" within What limits the exer-
tions for the amelioration of mankind
must be confined, you only give further
evidence of your incapaclty tor "prOtes-
sing" 1t Is just because people, "by a
careful study of history, and OF the
material conditions of human existence,
have come to perceive that the pIlIagng
of their birth rights, the continual
appropriation of the product of the
sweat of their brows is the work of
your masters and your protegeS, and be-
cause they have further perceived with
ton of mankind must necessarily be
confined under the intellectual guidance
of hlrelngs Of the exploiting class such
as you, that they are walking away III
such large number from the economic
armies of pseudo.profesSors and genuine
hnmbugs, into the economic Armies"
of what you please to call "pseudo.
socialism.
But, by the way, Professor when did
you commence to admire the idea Of
drawing the people up IN armies. Mr..
Bellamy's industrial army" was very
obnoxious to you. Oh, but this is an
economic amy. 1t is the adjective
that pokes youI excuse me,

JANUARY 10, 1891,
GOMPERS. FOSTER, AND THE
COLUMBUS CONVENTION.


The reply Of the Central Labor Fe-
deration of New York to Mr.. Samuel
Gomprrs, together with the synopsis of
the debate that preceded its adoption,
are published in another column. They
constitute in themselves such an ex-
haustive review of the matter in qurs-
ton that any further comment ON our
part would be supertluous 1t may be
well, however, to give here the text Of
the resolution on "POIitical Action
adopted by the American Federation Of
Labor at its Columbus convention in
December 1886, and to which reference
was made both in Comrade Hugo Vogts
speech and in tue aforesaid reply. This
resolution reads as follows:
WHEREAS, Political action is u subject
which has n the past been II prOilltC
source Of discussion and trouble III the
ranks Of the wurklngmcn; but, happily
the +, VUlutlOn recently witnessed IN the
election contest Of the several States,
notably the remarkable and cxtraOIdl-
Nary demonstration made hy the work
ingmen Of New York, MiIwaukte and
other cities, shows us the time has now
arrived, when the working people should
decide upon the necessity Of united aC
ton as citizens at the ballot box, indie
pendent Of the existing political parties
and
WHEREAS, The necessity Of this is
apparent from the suhIt elton OF the
ponce powers To the interests Of cor
porate capital in enforcing upon their
employees conditions repulsve to free
labor and liberty. and if the nefarious
work of the Pinkerton Agency is to be
stopped, workers must secure a greater
shar" of political power; therefore be it
ReXired, That this convention urges
most generous support to the indepen
dent political movement of working
men.
In the face of this declaration how
could Mr. Gompers' Especial Com
mittee', through Mr., Gompers' Special
Foster state on the floor Of the Detroit
Convention that the American Fedora
ton OF Labor was committed against
political action of any kind?
But Mr.. Gompers and Mr.. Foster will
probably object that what they actually
said was that the Federation was com
mltted against BIPARTISAN politics., and
that they did not mean to include under
that term any bona ride independent
labor movement. If SO, then, why were
they SO anxious that the Socialist Labor
movement should receive no consider
alton whatever? Are they ready to assert
that it is not an "independent political
movement of workingmen;"
They stand convicted by their own
logomachy.

OUR RAILROADS.

The length Of new track laid during
1890 in the United States reached about
& 900 miles, as against 5,095 in 1889,
G,G19 in 1888, and II, GG7 in 1887. While
the considerable decrease of activity in
railway construction during the past
three years, az compared with 1897,
must have had the effect of throwing
out Of employment large numbers of
unskiIIed laborers, il is claimed that the
constantly increasing railway mileage in
operation and the Improvement of old
lines have greatly enlarged the field of
steady occupation for skilled labor in
the railroad industry. This is true to
certain extent; not, however, in pro.
pnrtlon to the increased mileage and
still less III proportion to he increased
population. There is no other industry
in which capital bears so great pro.
portion to the number of people emf
ployed, And this ratio is steadily grow
ing. AT the present time, the capital
engaged in the railways Of the United
States is ten thousand millions of dol.
lars, or one quarter of the to'al capital
of the country; whereas the number of
people to whom it gives employment is
less that 500 600, or about one thirtieth
Of oar total Iahoring force. As the net
income Of that capital is earned by the
labor which it employs, it follows,
arithmetically, that the magnates who
own our avenues Of communication
while frequently complaining of the
small returns they get on their invest
ments, are actually taxing labor to an
extent seven times greater than does any
other class of capitalists.
