WHAT IT MEANS

IT'S PROMISE FOR TEE FUTURE
Its Influence in Educating the Peo-

GREAT LID A J

1.-THE Significance of Labor day lies in the
fact that it is a living evidence that for
the first time in the history of mankind
the toiling masses of humanity by them
selves, of themselves and for themselves
have set apart and dedicated a great ma
tional holiday for 100000 of people," said
Mr. Henry 3. Martin, editor of the knights
of Labor Journal and a member of the sew
eral executive boards of that order.
LAS we look over the dim vista of the
years and centuries that have passed away
we see that down to the time of the setting
apart of Labor day as a holiday all the
holidays or holy days have been handed
down from above. not come up from below.
as Labor day did. Holidays were always
set apart by the dignitaries of the church,
the sacerdotal classes the chiefs of the
state. But now we are entering upon a
new epoch. The masses of those who labor
are not only reaching out and grasping
political and industrial power, but they
are also beginning to decree what the So
ciai life of the people shall be.
Intelligent laboc organized and united

civilization. Labor day is a sure sign and

them tomorrow, but they are thinking of

justice that underlies these questions, and
confidence in the fairness of the American
people as whole, l must believe that the
principles represented by Labor day cam

Labor day has its lessons for the young;
1t is a recognition of the dignity of labor.
1t has it's lessons for the old; it gives them
substantial evidence of the fact that the
workingmen of the nation form the chief
element of its strength. 1t has shown also
that the workingmen are true Am orleans,
and do not yield to any in the quality or
quantity of their patriotism, despite the
efforts often made to represent organiza-

Institutions OF our time, but that 1t IS to
reconstruct the social and moral side of
life as we'll. Labor day tells US in language
too plain to be mistaken, tEat for the future
all other powers and pctentateS must
crumble and pass away and that labor is
to be king, and this fact of the coming
supremacy of the masses of those who
toll BODIES well Tor the future of mankind.
1t has been said in the past that the king
can do no wrong. This is far more true of
king labor than of any other king who has
ever swayed imperial power. The great
masses of the honest wealth producers have
less interest, less inclination and less temp
tat:on to do wrong than any single indi-
vidual or class of individuals when clothed
with sovereign power
THE ever growing intelligence of the
great body of workingmen and women ir-
resistibly lead them to establish better
institutions. enact juster laws, and pro-
note the advancement of higher and bet
ter civilization. We shall see labor estab-
fish a society in which men will not strus-
gle bindly and brutaliy for mere personal
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT or mere selfish gain from
the miSfortuneS or oppression of their fell
low men, A state wherein each will feal
so safe and secure in the possession and
enjoyment of his or her personal rights,
and the full fruits of their labor that tn ere
will be no incentive to Cypress others in
order to gain wealth for ourselves
There are those. who. always with their
gaze fixed on the dark side of human nature

bility of so bright future as this for

general observance will serve to set at rest
the impression that labor is arrayed against

nothing seems simpler than running
an electric car. There are a good
many simpler things, however, and
as a matter of fact some men who
want jobs as motormen on the street
railway have to give up because they
cannot learn to handle the car. In
the first place. considerable streng til
is required to manipulate the brake
properly, and in the next place there
is a peculiar motion turning tha
brake handle one way and the crank
for shutting off the power the other
way at the same time that is not easy
to learn. The local railroad has no
regular school for training men who
aspire to run electric cars, but they
nave a regular system Of teaching
the recruits the business, and every
new man has to go through a certain
line OF training before lie is allowed
to take charge Of a car.
When a man applies for a position
as motorman he is placed on the
waiting list, says the Boston Tran

gins to get a little short of men and

washington. May 14.-Worthington
Ford, chief of the treasury bureau Of
statistics has prepared some figures
about revenu receipts, which, in view
of the current treasury deficit Of nearly
$780, 600, 900, are Of interest. Receipts from
internal revenue and custom sources
are daily paid into the treasury, but the
particular sources from which the
money is derived, SO far as custom re-
ceipts are concerned, are not
generally stated until the quarterly re-
ports of the bureau statistics are made.
From Mr.. Ford's report it is shown that
during the last nine months 800 0 900
have been paid into the treasury from
duties collected on imported sugar, iron
ore and bituminous coal. All three of
these articles were placed upon the free
list in the tariff bill as it passed the
house Of representatives. Duties on
many articles in the wooden, cotton,
metal and Woo schedu > Of the tariff
bill as it passed the house were in
creased in the senate. A conservative
estimate places the increased duties as
provided for by the senate from the
articles named over the duties as fixed
by the house at 5000, 000, making a total
increase in the nine months under the
practical workings of the senate tariff
bill over what the bill would have
yielded as it passed the house of at
least $12, 000, 900. Twelve million dollars
added to the deficit Of over $40, 900, 900
at the close of business in the treasury
on Saturday last would increase the
deficit to more than SCI, 900, 900. It is
deemed probable, however, that the
total deficit for the current fiscal year
will not exceed SAT, 00O, 900 by June 1. Sc
far the receipts for the'ten months and
eleven days of this fiscal year have been
$269, 1862, 1856, or 1857, 600 per day. and the
expenditures for the same period have
been 1913, 719, 1919, or 81. 014. 900 per day.
Notwithstanding this excess of expen-
diture over income, no immediate me-
cessity Of another bond issue is antici-
pated. The treasury has on hand an
available balance Of $780, 600, 900, exclusive
of the gold reserve Of $96, 900, 600.
