The Very Existence or Capitalists Proves

During the last'ten days, in the trouble
at Homestead, Pa, the people Of the
SHIFTED States have had presented to
their gaze vivid and striking object
lesson from which may be drawn some
valuable and potent conclusions and
which suggests to the mind of the in
curing student of political economy an
interesting train of thought
The question or issue at stake does
not enter into the domain of partisan
politics, unless, indeed, the passing
events may cause the American wage
worker to turn his gaze toward and
build his hopes upon party which ad-
vocates the basic principles upon which
labor organizations are built It is true,
republican and democratic papers are
pickering and carping at each other in
regard to the catastrophe, but as their
grasp and treatment of the matter does
not extend beyond it's consideration in
relation to the threadbare subject of the
tariff, their arguments are not worthy
of the serious discussion of thinking

well known that the climate at Du-

in the world for the cure of that
annoying disease. To reach that

If the laboring classes were to call

how Just and righteous their cause,
by hiring armed men to assist them.
Would not the government treat
them as bandits and conspirators?
Arrests and conviction would follow
in mighty short order. And the
whole plutocratic press and all their
followers would shout Amen. Let the
constitution of these United States
be upheld, at what ever cost. Now

raised his arms while the corporal
drew the line over the tent-pole. The
cord was pulled by three men until
1ams stood on tip-toe, and then it
was made fast. The surgeons took
turns counting his pulse beats. They
had to stand on a chair to do so.
Not a word was spoken. The young
mans face was deathly white. His
arms. were rigid with his weight. The
Irvine was cutting into his flesh. The
soldiers and the corporal turned away
their faces. The sight was too pain
full. The surgeons, watch in hand,
kept their fingers on his pulse. The
beats came faster and faster, and
slowly the mans head fell forward on
his breast, and his eyes closed. He
could no longer press the ground
with his toes. The dead weight hung
heavy Oh the Irvine. Minute after
minute passed, and his pulse beats
were constantly increasing. At last
one surgeon said, Zone hundred and
twenty beats-let him down." Iar1s

conveys weighty arguments of grave
portent. In the bloody conflict be-
tween labor and hired minions of cap
italism he finds abundant justification
for the most radical sentiments in the
preamble to the Omaha platform In
the surrounding circumstances and adj
mitted attendant facts he finds forceful
arguments in favor of his contention
that the present industrial system is
radically wrong and woefully unjust.
Turning to his platform he reads:
wealth belongs to him who creates
it," and ''every dollar taken from in
dustry without equivalent is robbery"
He then reads that Andrew Carnegie,
not so many years ago, was very poor
man. This sets our populist to think
ing and he sson concludes that if the
declarations in his platform are in har-
mony with the eternal verities Andrew
Carnegie is robber and the Homestead
mills and Mr.. Carnegie's many millions
belong to his locLed-out workmen, who
created them.
All wealth is produced by labor. La
Dor must be before capital can be. The
fact that capitalists exist proves that
labor is being robbed. In the very ma
ture of things the proposition must be
true that what we term capitalists are
simply sponges that, by reason of one
sided laws and superior cunning, absorb
the. greater portion of the wealth pro-
duced by community, of which they
are but one integral part.
Organized labor will not have full
filed it's mission until it shall have OBJ
tanned the power and the right to de-
eide and dictate what portion of the
wealth produced by it shall be retained
by those who produce it and what por-
ton shall be set aside as sinking fund
to keep in repair the perishable plant
representing capital, and finally replace
such plant when'entirely worn out Ex-
ploiters, bosses, proprietors, or what
you choose to call them, are entitled to
a proportionate per capita wage out of
the common fund of wealth produced
by themselves and the labor they ex-
plot or boss. If this just and equitable
rule had been enforced from the start
there would never have been such a
person as a capitalist, because all CAPT.
tai (wealth) would have belonged to
and been in the possession of those who
produced it.
Until this just and basic economic
principle is recognized and enforced,
organized labor must hold the fort and
insist on receiving a fair and equitable
portion of the wealth which is the
product of it's own laborious toll. This,
and not the inconsequential question
of high or low tariffs, is the issue
presented to the consideration of the
thoughtful student of social and politi-
cal economy. Humanity is marshalled
upon it's last battle ground to fight for
the rights of labor as against the rob-
berry and oppression of factor of its
own creation, called in modern, times
capital. May God strengthen and crown
with victory the arms of labor. George
