Shall Laborers Organize? I?

About fifty people listened TO the dis
cussion of the subject 'Shall Laborers
Organize Against Capitalists or Organize
Among Themselves" at the Bell Street
Chapel last evening. Henry Il. Gardner.
Jr., of Brown University, opened the dis
cussion and gave review OF the labor
movements in Europe and America. In
boards of Cancellation and arbitration are
found, he said, the best products of labor
organization. We must make capitalists
and laborers the same persons. Distribu-
tive cooperation is a success when proper
~ carried out.
Robert Grieve said the object of trades
union was to get for its members better
wages. A labor organization is formed
for ap immediate, pressing purpose, with
out q lofty ideal. He believed in striking,
but he did not believe in striking on every
occasion. When suffering a wrong he
thought workmen ought 90 strike, and it
was equally right for several persons in
an organization TO strike.

They persist in wasting time over lot
of. measures that they know never can
become laws and disgusting the people"
There's not much show here for the
great hypnotizer, nor indeed for any
body. The boilers have evolved no
platform. They're simply disgruntled
because the majority of the party has
the courage of its convictions and stands
by the two things that go comfortably
and naturally together, free silver and
free trade. The Northern Democrats
have nursed and fed and fattered their
Southern colleagues. and it's unreasona-
ble of them to refuse to reap what they
have sown. It's not within the bounds
of probability that they will continue
to refuse. AS soon as the silver debate
is over and their little scare has had its
full sensational effect, they Will calm
their perturbed spirits and-their last
card played - settle themselves with
grim resignation TO the thankless task
of lying TO their constituents and argu-
ing that black is white, and free silver
party the champion of honest money.

THEIR LAST CARD.

The NEWS Washington dispatches
yesterday announced that the anti-silver
Democrats OF the House are debating the
advisability, under certain contingent
cies, of putting mp second Presidential
nominee torun against the candidate to
be named Mt Chicago. Startling as is
the proposition and unlikely to be car
ried into effect, the threat is pretty good
evidence of the seriousness of the rup-
ture in the party ranks and the despair
of the little handful of New Englanders
and New Workers of winning any con-
sideration at the hands of the great body
of Southern guerrillas who ride rough
shod over them.
If the House passes q free silver bill,
and if this action is followed by the
building of free silver plank into the
Chicago platform, then, say the Wash
ington wiseacres, it is not in any way
unlikely that 1892 may be 1860 over
again and that, though the death sleep
Of the Whig party removes one source
of complication, the Republican candi-
date may find, like Lincoln, two Demo-
Gratis dividing the forces against him.
That thoughtful Democrats are aghast
at the situation in which they find them
selves no reasonable person can doubt.
The free silver craze is likely to cost
them every possible chance of carrying
a single Eastern State, and with the fad
ing away of what a short time ago they
considered brilliant prospects of win
ming the Presidency the feeling of resent
full bitterness between the sections is
becoming too intense for concealment.
Somebody" says New York Repre-
sentative, "must read the riot act to the
Sou.herners who are running the pros
poets of their party, or else we will enter
again into the wilderness in which we
will wander for many years"
1t is the certainty of defeat and the
humiliation of political suicide that
leads Northern Democrats in the chagrin
of utter desperation to talk of boiling.
They are downed in any case, but they
can at least die revenged.
Should no truce be patched up be-
tween the factions the question arises
whom will they choose for leaders? Hill
and Cleveland would make two pretty
gladiators; but, curiously enough though
the silver men like Hill, the anti-silver
people do not as yet cotton especially to
Cleveland. For, TO the sorrow of the
Mugwump, they fight shy not only Of
the delusive white metal but also Of
tariff reform. "Right after the war"
says one Of the would-be boilers, "the
