THE PLAN on REpEMPTION.

Editor Cooperative Department Of THE ADvo-
CATE.
The plan of redemption FOR labor Is so
plain and so simple and 90 easily stated
that the difficulty is In inducing the peo-
pie to turn from its consideration Of in
tricate and far off metaphysical absurdi.
ties to the examination of these plain
home facts.
1t Is the story Of the man who travelled
far and wide, the world over, in search Of
certain rare plant; returning home in
his old age, disappointed and discouraged,
to find the plant growing in his own gar
den.
The whole law and gospel Of labor, the
means for sbolishing poverty and estab-
fishing peace and plenty; of regenerat-
ing society and inaugurAting the reign OF
fraternity, is all expressed in this short
sentence: "Co-operstive production and
equitable exchange"
The plan of operation 10 readily set in
motion without the change Of single
law or the least social commotion or any
moving Of people to distant colonies.
The first step is for those who desire to
better their condition to meet and organ
ize to start some useful industry. Let
those go at work thus who are not now
we'll employed-those in enforced idle
ness. Let the wages Of those workers
be just what they must be, their own
products. Don't rob them, that is all.
As long as there are any who desire
work for natural wages, help each other
to organize industries, so as to furnish
work and the means of support to such.
The plant or machinery Of production to
be owned by organized labor, not by any
stock company, and AZ free TO be used ag
our present highways.
simultaneously with the organization
of the industries for production, organize
the exchange, 80 there may be free ex-
change of products without usury or any
such absurdity as profits.
This 10 effected by means Of the labor
or deposit check, or any other manner Of
keeping accurate accounts. Any means
by which the products Of one mans day q
labor will exchange for the products of
snother's, In that or any other trade.
Simply equitable exchange without rob-
berry.
Those now usefully employed do moi
need to change their employment and
can CO operate simply in the exchange.
Every man is left free to work or play,
as he plesses; but he can only have right
fully what he produces.
Indeed, there Is no compulslon In re-
gard to cooperation. II one chooses to
work slngly and live alone in q cave, he
can do 30; but by cooperation only can
large results be obtained by labor.
We must cooperate because we can
produce more and easier that way. We
can utilize machinery, and rise out Of
barbarian by its means.
The road then TO peace, plenty and
prosperity Is plain to be seen, easy tC
travel and free to all. Very truly,
U. F. SARGENT.

the United States make money? Not for
us-not for the people, God knows; who
ever else may have our agent In their
employ. Our constitution declares Con-
gress shall have the power to make
money, but it does not exclusively state
Of what It shall be made. Congress
usurps authority and says, It shall be
made only Of silver and gold; then, by
special act Of July 16, A. d. 1887, says
that gold and silver bullion, brought to
the mint foE coinage, shall be received
and coined by the proper officers for the
benefit Of the depositor. This does not
say who may or who may not thus de-
poslt and receive the accrulng benefits OF
having their commodities coined into
money, but admits all who may have
gold or silver to deposit; while we, the
people, the citizen king, must, perHorce,
60 unsupplied, or StOop to the necessity
Of buying or borrowing Of whomever
chances to. be the legal owner Of the
money rightfully ours. Upon this sub
ject the people are well agreed, and they
may be safely relied upon to push re-
form in that direction to success, and
while they are doing this education may
be pushed with vigor on other lines of
equal importance, II rightly understood;
but, az all events, we, the people, citizen
king, demand that our usurping-ab
Cating-delinquent agent be required TO
maintain the trust and discharge the
duties required In and devolvlng upon
him.
We say usurplng because Congress
has, without our authority, decided to
make money only Of certain commodities
gold and silver
We Say abdiCatlng, for it has relin.
qulshed the trust reposed in 1t (so far as
making money for the people ls con-
cerned) without formal resignation.
We say delinquent, because having
power to make money for the people, it
has failed to do so, and has made money
for irresponsible parties. But we wish it
understood by our delegates that while
we are now ready to push reform on
these lines to victory, we do not intl-
mate that these are the only lines upon
which reform should be pushed. On the
contrary, we desire that the coming
party be the party OF reform, and that no
act be performed that will In any way
check, hinder or retard progress upon re-
formAtOry lines when or wherever found
to be needed to secure equal rights to all
and grant special privileges to none.

sharply, suddenly irregular, and full of
abrupt rises and falls of grades. But it |
must be remembered that a plat large
enough to show the true grade would be
out of the question. SO the horizontals
in the scale must be understood to repre-
sent to each square or space of the scale
100 feet along the levee, while the verticals
represent to each square or space one foot
of hight. So, when there is a sudden de-
scent in the space of single square of
the scale, it means one foot fall in 100 feet
of distance along the 1evee.
But even with this explanation in con-
slant view, the object lesson tells story
bad enough, and one that ought to settle
out of hand the whole levee question. 1t
will be seen chat we had the water at the.
leYee level in May at H street and half
way to /. From there to P street the
I hight above high water was from three
inches to two feet two inches. The
highest crest above high water was mid
way between r ana streets, and that
was but three feet ten inches at the utter
most. It would be more nearly correct to
say three feet eight inches. North of the
depot the levee dips three inches below
the high-water line, and north of the
/ railroad roundhouse it is but three feet
/ four inches above high-water line, while
near Seventh street it attains only hight
of three feet eight inches.
Now it is submitted to sensible people
| that had there been, as there may be, a
| conjunction of high water in both rivers
in May, the American being backed up
and prevented from discharging its
water into the Sacramento, might easily
have risen to that crest of 3 feet inches,
and under the influence of northerly
storm have necessitated the active labors
of some of our contented trust-to-luck
silurians at that point to prevent serious
invasion and possible permanent injury.
The time for arguing this whole ques-
ton has gone by; it has come now to the
hour of action. We believe that it viii
be taken, and that the City Trustees, con
WINGED Of the unwisdom of maintaining
Ievee that goes down grade in an up
stream direction to protect 40,000,00t
of property values, will at once
set about to have the levee brough
up uniformly to the fve-foot linz
shown in the engraving we present
and have such other and further worl
done on the north levee and on Y stree
as competent engineers recommend.
