Some politicians, when making cal

late campaign IN this state against
the Populists has been that the Pop
ullst leaders are socialists. They
have not told the people what social
ism is They have not presented its
doctrines, either seVerslly or collec-
lively, and proceeded to show that
they are mischievous in their infuen-
ces and tendencies. This is not their
way Of doing things. They have as
sumsd that the doctrines are pernic-
lous, and that the people know them
to be pernlCious, and that all they
had to do was to show that Peoples
party leaders had lmbibed them. Are
such methods as these satisfactory to
intelligent, thoughtful peoples It
can hardly be possible; and still it is
the customary way of dealing with
this question.
Richard 7. Ely, associate professor
Of political economy in Johns Hop
kins university, Baltimore, and leo
turer on political economy IN Cornell
university, Ithics, n Y, in a recent
work on French and German social
ism in modern times" speaking of
this very subject, says:
A hssty examination of the vast majority
Of books written on socialism and COM
munism shows how utterly worthless they
are. Their authors start out with such in
tense hatred Of all soOialistiO systems, that
10 10 simply impossible for them TO under
stand these systems. But the worst Of it is
that they couple their Misunderstanding
with such hard words and severe epithets as
70 exotic bad blood and drive the various
classes Of society farther apart than ever.
The weather. classes lose their ardor for re-
form, and the poorer people become en-
ragged. As write, take uD the first book
on communism which lies at my hand, and,
opening 10, fnd communists spoken Of as 80
hideOus fraternity Of Conspirators." l turn
over q few pages and read this: "To-day
there is not in our language, nor in any
language, q more hateful word than COM
munism." OF a sentence uttered by q
socialist, this writer says; "MOre pestilenb
words were never spoken" On the next
page communism is spoken of as ''infeCt-
ing' the Russian universities. "Now," con-
tinues our author, sit pOiSonS the blood and
mRddens the brains of artisans and peas
ants" Such words do more than excite the
anger Of socialists. They arouse the indiR-
nation of every lover Of fair play, and CON-
vince no one.
Once for all, We must rid ourselves of
che notion that We can persuade people by
miEepresenting them and calling them
hard names. Such conduct only reacts
against ourselves.
Now, what Is true of writer's of
books against socialism is true, also,
Of newspaper writer's, and of political
stump speakers. AS Professor Ely
observes, "theY start out with such
intense hatred of all socialistic sys-
TENS that 1t Is simply impossible for

on the decline. This is proof positive
that the overproduction theory is a
fallacy. What must be thought of
the statement that the prevailing in
dustrial depression has not reduced
consumption? Is there a sane per-
son on earth that does not know bet
ter than this? The best estimates of
the idle men in the United States at
this time place the number at not
less than 100000. If we apply the
customary rule of computing the sv-
erage population represented BY this
100000 of idlers, we shall find 15,-
100000 of people in the United States
to-day, who, because of the inability
to purchase, are living upon the most
limited supplies. lis there a sane
person living who will say that if the
heads of families representing these
15,OO0OO0 Of people were given emo
ployment that would enable them to
buy what they need for themselves
and families, it would not increase
the demand for what9 It is a fact
susceptible of absolute demonstration
that if every person in the United
States was to-day able to purchase
the amount of food allowed by the
commisssry department Of the army
to each soldier, there would not be a
pound Of wheat in the country for ex-
port. It would all be consumed at
home, and the price of it would not
be fixed in Liverpool. Such rot as
that afforded by the Star is an insult
to the intelligence Of the people.
The causes of low prices of wheat
are manifold, and all depend upon a
vicious financial and commercial sys-
tenn which has been fostered and de-
veloped by collusion of speculstors
and sharks with Legislators and gov
ernment officials. During a long
course of years, we have been brought
by gradual steps to a single gold
standard Of measurement for all val
ues. Following these successive
steps, property Of every character
has declined, while gold has Contin-
ued to rise in purchasing power. Un-
der this suicidal system the creditor
class grows opulent, while the indus
trial classes grow constantly poorer.
The depression Of industry produces
idleness. Idleness diminishes de-
msnd for every kind of supplies.
Diminished demand still further de-
presses industry, and in this manner
the constant tendency Is downward.
The remedy is not in reducing pro-
duction, as the Star suggests, but in
such a revolution of our financial and
social systems as to afford opportu-
nifty to all to supply the actual needs
of physical life, thereby increasing
the consumption. 1t is the height Of
absurdity to talk of an overprOduc-
tion Of food while millions are
starving, and Of an overproduCtion
Of clothing while millions are

lic. These things are never referred
to by speakers and writer's who are
endesvoring to wage a campaign Of
prejudice against Populists on the
ground that they are socialists. All
such examples are carefully and
studiously avoided.
It is undoubtedly true that observ-
ing and studious Populists with such
examples before them, have come to
believe that a still wider extension of
socislistic doctrines and practices
would be beneficial to mankind Look
ing about them they see nearly every
industry monopolized by q corpora
tion; and they are conscious of the
robbery prscticed upon them for pri-'
vate gain. They believe in the doc
trlne of the Declaration Of Indepsnd-
ence, that "all men are created free
and equal and are entitled to pro-
lection by the government in that
freedom and equality. They rebel
against the special privileges granted
by charter to corporations; and they
believe that public utilities should be
owned and controlled by the public,
and for the benefit of the public.
They have come to believe that many
of the abuses to which they are sub
iect might be remedied, and their
condition be bettered by proper ex-
ercise of the power Of the govern
ment. Perhaps the methods by which
they propose to apply the remedies
are not the best that could be do
vised. Human judgment is never in
fallible, and 1t may be in error IN the
methods now proposed Suppose
that it is. Have republican writer's
and speakers attempted to point out
wherein il is in error? Have they
taken up the fundamental principles
of socialism and undertaken to show
wherein they are mischievous or
wrongs Have they undertaken to
show that their application would not
improve human conditions and in
crease human happinessl Nothing
of the kind. Have they offered any
remedy of their own for the removal
Of the evils Of which the people COM
plain9 If so, when, where and what?
The fact is the republican party
to-day is without a policy upon which
its various elements can unite in the
different sections Of the country. 1t
entirely ignores the abuses which
have crept into the government, and
pervaded every department Of our
industrial and commercial systems.
It is silent as the tomb concerning
these things. What does the party

The BIG STRIKE IS ON
-Four Thousand Worlds Fair Work
men Walk Out.
EVERYTHING IS QUIET so FAR
The Greatest Struggle Will Probably
Begin Tomorrow---Trying to Pre-
vent Men Working.
IS QUIET so FAR

CHICAGO, April 10.-At the most crit
ical time possible for the world s fair the
big exposition today encountered its
first great strike. One thousand union
men in the various building trades quit
work, with the prospect that 1000 more
might Join them before night. The men
contend some of the exposition officials
have recently shown disposition, now
that the fair is nearly completed, to
deny point blank anything asked, and
that this has notably been the case in
the carpenter troubles, which have been
pending sometime. On behalf of the
exposition officials it was claimed that
the workmen were taking advantage of
the last few days of the hurry in the
completion of the work to squeeze the
exposition management and to violate
the agreement hitherto made by insist
ing that only union men be employed
on the grounds. Pickets were placed at
all the entrance gates early. to warn
union men that strike was on, and to
labor with the non-union men to join
them. They labored assiduously, and
nearly all the union men obeyed the
order to strike. By p. m. fully 1000
men were out, including probably over
dozen trades. To make matters worse,
at this juncture one-third of the en-
ployes of the installation department,
200 in number, knocked off. They were
teamsters. They have been getting 81 go
per day and demanded 50, which was
refused, and they quit. President Hig-
ginbotham thinks the places of the
strikers will be quickly filed, and that
little delay will result. The latest esti-
mates are that 5000 men struck.

Peru nIakes Reparation.

WASHINGTON, April 10.-The Peruvian
government has taken the initial steps
toward complying with the demands of
the United States that separation be
made for the outrage committed on one
of its consular agencies in Peru. 1t was
not until this morning that the name of
the place attacked, which was omitted
in the first dispatch from Minister Hicks
notifying Secretary Gresham of the af-
fair, was made known to the state de-
partment. The information was con-
tanned in cablegram from Minister
Hicks. It stated the consular agency
attacked is at Mollendo, Peru, and in
answer to demand for satisfaction made
by this government, Peru Immediately
removed the sub-prefect of the depart
ment in which Mollendo is situated !;
also promised to provide suitable repa-
ration, and, furthermore, that the gov
ernment expressed regrets for the oc-
currence. This information is entirely
satisfactory to the United States. The
name of the consular agent at Mollendo,
omitted from the dispatches received
from Minister Hicks, is William R.
Griffith. He was appointed from Penn
March 30tli, 1889.
No news has been received by Secre-
tary Gresham concerning the reported

sulate in Bolivia t

positions which were held respectively
in 1884 and 1885. When the British gov
ernment refused official recognition to
the Paris exposition in 1889, Sir Henry,
as secretary of the Society of Arts, ac-
complished such admirable results in
surmounting the difficulties in the way
of exhibit that he was made an officer
of the French Legion of Honor, and a
