To Test NatiOnaliSm.

A colony of nationalists have Sc
cured from the secretary of state a
charter granting them the right to
found a colony in the Cherokee Strip
for the purpose of giving national
ist theories a practical test. There
are one hundred people in the colony
and they are all populists.
An isolated colony of nationalists
cannot conduct a successful expert
ment in an environment of world-Old
customs, and their failure to do so
though it affords no basis for an opin-
ion as to the practicability of nation
alism, will nevertheless rebound to
the injury of that cause.
Nationalism is making very sub
stantial progress in the growing ten
dency toward government ownership
and operation of railroads, and of the
telegraph and telephone lines, and
toward the establishment of postal
savings banks, as proposed by the
peoples party. These measures will
afford an effectual test of jhe theory
of nationalism, and Mr.. Bellamy's
disciples would do themselves and
their cause more good if their activi-
ties we're directed to the attainment
of these ends.

The Difference.

New Nation, Boston: "Some young
men in Bordentown, N. j., recently
hired a freight car and furnished it
with hunks and a cooking stove, and
" freighted" themselves to Chicago
for $40 dollars each. Our privately
owned railroads will treat people as
cattle so long as the people are will
ling to submit. Permit us to inform
the young men from ,BOrdentown
that in Hungary, where two-thirds
of the railway milage is owned and
operated by the government, the fare
on a government road in a palace car
for distance equal to that from Bor-
dentown, N. j., to Chicago is SIS, and
even at that the government receives
a revenue of about three million dol
lars from the railroad investments.
In 1890 it was $2,9l6, 300, and the
revenue has steadily increased since
that date. The Bordentown people
would resent the insinuatiOn that
America was behind Hungary in in
telligence, and yet, which is the most
reasonable, riding.in freight car for
$40, or in palace car for So? There
are certain phases of private owner
ship of transportation which bring
the blush of shame to the cheek of
every American. And that isn't the
worst of live forget our bushes
on election day. Is itnot pardonable
to paraphrase saying of Carlyle, -
America is nation of IS million
peOple,-mostly fools?"

Does not this prove conclusively
that debasing one of the money met
ais to the condition of mere COM
modify and narrowing the basis of
our money to gold has depressed the
value of all commodities and in
creased the power Of gold and
Of those who own monopoly of
it. 1t has doubled the obligation
of the debtor. A man borrowing
$1,000 in 1872, when it would buy $50
bushels of wheat, must now, in1893,
raise 1000 bushels to pay the debt. In
other words, after having paid inter-
est for Fl years he must pay back the
value of the original debt $50 BUSH

Why Was 1t Done?

Wall Street DEGREES the destruction
of silver. Obedient to this decree
the minions of the money lords begin
to roar: the press sets up great
clamor for the repeal of the Sherman
act; the gold bug orator demands it ;
congress, convened in special session
by Mr.. Cleveland in response to the
edict, bowls for it; the boards of
trade all over the country create an
uprOar in favor of it.
Do they say achy they want the sill
yer law repealed?
Yes; to stop the panic it is alleged
to have created!
Now in 1873 decentralization was ac-
complished in less noisy and de-
monstrative way. An agent of the
Bank of England, with 100000, and
John Sherman are alleged to have
been the only parties to the trans
action. There was no demand for it.
In all the country there was not a
line in any newspaper about it; the
most important measure of the cen
fury and yet the voices of congress-
men we're silent; the boards of trade
did not know it; the very senators
and congressman by whose votes the
bill became a law did not know it de.
monetized silver; even President
Grant whose signature gave effect to
the act said that he did not know that
it struck down silver; nobody knew
it,-bM John Sherman.
Why was it done?
For what reason was silver demon
cited in 1873?

A Surplus of Labor.

According to estimates made by labor
leaders, there are $50, 900 idle working
men in Chicago, and yet every day these
numbers are added to by men coming in
from the panic stricken regions of the
west. The Record has, in general, dep
recated the wild rush of western people
to the east, and when it is demonstrated
that Chicago is to be an objective point
something more needs to be said.
For two years past Chicago has been
full of workingmen in every branch of
mechanic arts. During the height of
building at the exposition the supply of
labor was always in excess of the de-
mand. Now, with this great work COM
pleted, Chicago has had to deal not only
with the steady influx of labor, but also
with the thousands of men who have
been laid off from work at jackson park
and from many great structures else
where. =
These facts should impress themselves
upon every man who starts east with
Chicago as his destination. It is simply
impossible that in these times the city's
industries should accommodate them
selves to the needs of labor For a man
without money to come to Chicago
means, in the majority of cases, that he
will thrust himself upon the public char
ity and fare quite as i'll as he might fare
at home.
Under any circumstances it is ques-
tionable if western workingmen better
their condition by coming east.-Chicago

1t is Time to Reform.

Fourteen hundred Italians left
Pittsburg recently for Italy,-9OO pur-
chasing tickets in one day. When
asked why they were leaving, they re-
piled that they must go or starve.
When this country with it's exube-
rant wealth gets into state where
even European labor cannot live,. is
it not time to reform?

How to Employ Idle Laborers.

The laudable efforts that are now be-
ing made toward the employment of our
idle people deserve the earnest support
and cooperation of all citizens inter-
ested in the peace and prosperity of our
city, state and country. With view
Of doing my share toward solving the
problem, so far as our city is concerned,
I would most respectfully suggest the
following plan: The city requires many
improvements. When it is decided as
to the kind of improvements and repairs
that are to be made, let the city issue
scrip in denominations of 81 to S., this
scrip to be made receivable by the city
for all taxes and assessments due the
city. Then set the idle people at work
and pay them'w with this scrip. 1919.
AS the scrip is made receivable for
taxes and assessments the butcher.
baker, storekeeper and landlord would
accept it in exchange for their goods and
rents because it would be just as good
to pay taxes and assessments as gold or
silver. Then let the city decide that it
would retire annually, beginning one
year after the issue, say per cent of
the issue until the whole amount had
been retired. In this way no one person
or firm would be burdened, but all would
be contributing their mite toward en-
ploying the idle. This EMPLOYMENT
would enable the workers to support
themselves and contribute to the pros
perity and general welfare of the whole
city. All would be benefited, and no one
would be injured.
l respectfully submit the idea to the
mayor and city council and to all citizens
interested in the solution Of this ques-
ton. n. 3. Ferguson In Chicago Inter

A CONTRAST.

Amid the general rejoicing of this
great Columbian year there comes at
times cry of distress and despair that
goes straight to the heart and sets its
strings pulsating with pity.
In New York, while the favored of
fortune were entertaining with lavish
hospitality the fair representative of
the royal house Of CASTLE, poor
woman, with her young babe clasped
closely to her bosom, dropped in the
street from starvation.
What picture! And all upon the cir
cumscribed canvas of few city blocks.
On the one side the splendor, pomp
and magnificence of wealth; on the
other the pinched face of an unfortunate
mother dying from starvation in the
midst of plenty and almost within hear
ing of the sounds of royal meIrymaking.
II is such a scene as this that bids us
pause and ask. if, after all in the four
centuries that have passed since Column
bus set foot on American soil, we have
accomplished rs much as we are wont
to claim in assuaging human misery
and human suffering.

CLOSE THOSE GATES!

The address of the Rev. DIR. Greer at
the Board of Trade banquet last night,
contained many pregnant thoughts.
None of the sentiments advanced
were more to the point, or more need
full, than what he said about the clos
ing OF the Worlds fair on Sunday.
He took a position almost identical
with that the News assumed a few days
ago. He favored the opening of the
gates on Sunday upon the merits OF the
question, considered as a moral ques-
tion solely, but held that the fair di-
rectory is bound by the contract made
with congress when the two millions
and half grant was accepted.
There can be no question about the
obligation of the Worlds fair directory
to keep the fair closed on Sunday.
Neither can there be any question OF
the obligation Of the government to
close the gates. 1t has the authority,
and it ought to exercise it. 1t is absurd
to contend that the national govern
ment is powerless to enforce the provi-
sions Of an act Of congress.
Let the Chicago directory be forced
to live up to its pledges to the govern.
ment, and then let the question of the
morality of opening the fair on Sunday
be discussed.
