The Unseatine Of Members of Congress,

Washington City, Dec. s.-AIthough
there was talk before congress met that
the Southern Republicans might try 10
bring about congressional action on the
state constitutions Of South Carolina and
Mississippi which they claim are designed
10 diSfranchfse their party. there does not
seem 10 be much likelihood that any ef-
fectiye step en- that direction will be Ia
Ken. Some OF the new members have
talked with the house veterans on the
subject and become convinced that there
IL nothing this congress can do, aud that
the only practical measure would he 10

pTeme court. In the next congress. IL

would be different Already there is talk

the only colored member OF the last con-
gress, is hack as contestant for his old
seat. the certificate TO which Is held by
a Democrat. He claims TO have been
counted out, and says he has not tho
slightest doubt that ne will be seated The
Republicans OF the state. he says. not
withstanding their recent rebuff in the su-
preme court. are preparing TO bring the
question OF the validity Of the new con-

main issue at stake. General opinion
among the house Republicans appears to
be that this congress viii be conservative

can majority Is so large that there Is no

silver Men Expect No Legislation.

Washington City. Dec. 6.-Senator Du-
bOis said today that the friends of silver
did not look for favorable legislation at the
present session OF congress, and In view OF
the hostile attitude Of the president he did
not believe any special efforts would ne
made in that direction. The silver men.
he believed. would so far control the COM
mittees that they could at any time bring
up free coinage bill. and IL was very
likely speeches IN advocacy OF such
measure would be made during the ses-
sion. The wisdom OF making a prolonged
fight, with full knowledge Of its hopeless
ness. he said. was much doubted by the
silver men. and II was altogether likely
that they would content themselves with
reaffirming their allegiance 10 the cause.
rather than proloug the session when no
substantial good could possibly result The
senator, however was very positive in as
serting that no issue OF bonds would be
authorized or other financial legislation
permitted without some substantial recog-
milton being given silver; nor. he con-
tinued would any measure providing for
retirement OF greenbacks pass the senate
except silver be given an important place
IN any scheme for preventing contraction
OF the currency, which necessarily would
be caused by such retirement lie there
fore did not look for any financial iegisla-
ton at the present session.

(Continusd from last wsek)
Now these privileges, while they
reduce the actual money reward
of productive labor, also in turn,
increase the price of all articles
of use to the consumers; produc-
ton alone is not able to bear
their burden. Sometimes the
burden is greater upon produc-
ton, sometimes upon consump-
ton; but the candle of living is
burnt at both ends. The debt
burden entailed upon product
ion, by inheritance, it's increase
by land monopoly, and the inter-
est upon it due to the banking
system, compels production of
all kinds TO these; it must shift
some of these burdens upon the
consumer, else it cannot even
struggle under their weight. So,
too, while exorbitant transporta-
ton charges and the plumber of
markets reduce the price receiv-
cd by the purchaser, they also
enhance the price charged the
consumer.
"In order to fully understand
how greatly and vexatiously
prices are affected by these priv
ileges, we must follow the his
tory of each article of consump-
ton and see at how many points
and from how many directions
even the simplest of these is
made to contribute to their ex-
tortions. Take the coat on the
farmers or the laborer's back;
the price of the wool is made
higher by the load of debt the
grower must incur for the use of
wealth in the raising of sheep,
the price or rent of land, the in
terest charged upon his debt,
taxation levied to build railroads,
the exorbitant rates demanded by
these for carrying the wool to
the manufacturer, and the plum
der by spectators or trusts on
its way. The manufacturer, too,
must add to the price of the cloth
in order to support the debt he
must incur in it's manufacture,
together with the interest upon
that debt, the rent or price of
land upon which his factory is
situated, exorbitant .transporta-
ton charged for the bringing of
the wool to his factory, and the
plumber of spectators and trusts.
This same process of addition
must be continued by the cloth
ing manufacturer, the jobber, the
wholesale merchant and the re-
tail dealer, as the cloth or the
finished product passes in turn
into the hands of each on its
way to the consumer; and the
greater the plumber or privilege,
the more exorbitant must be the
prices charged at each step. The
final price paid by the consumer
is thus out of all proportion to
it should or would be, were in
dustry not in this manner, at
every step, the prey of privilege.
Trace any article of food, or
clothing, or other use, through
its passage from the raw to the
final consulnable shape, the re-
suit will be the same; and it can
at once be seen how wide is the.
field of operation, how fruitful
is the field of plumber for privil-
eye.
"Can we, then wonder why
labor fails toprocure subsistence,
or why vast fortunes are myster-
iously accumulated in the midst
ofgrowing property? Privilege
stands over all production and

entitled "The New Republic, +" in
which are discussed the condi-
tions which would prevail if an
equality of opportunity was pres
ent.
when the world shall be the
property of man, and man no
longer the subject and servant
of property, then will man be at
last free, and a new republic
will have been ushered in.
This new republic, great and
sweeping as must be it's benefits,
will yet be founded on no other
or different principle than that
upon which our liberties even
now rest. 1t does not, like nih-
ilism, demand the destruction of
all it's institutions, for it holds
that government is necessary to
establish and determine the rela-
tions OF men in society, protect
their respective rights, and as a
servant to perform services pub
lie in their nature. 1t does not,
like military socialism, demand
the entire revolution of existing
institutions, because it holds
these to be growth as the race
itself is, and suited to the ideas
and needs of men. Nor does it
on the other hand, like so-called
individualism, reduce govern
ment to mere police power, for
it recognizes government as the
whole people acting through
their laws, and that the people
themselves must first determine
their rights before these can be
protected. 1t holds, too, that
these rights must be redetermin-
ed with every change of condi-
tons that affect them, and with
every advance of society to new
or and more just standards of
conduct. 1t holds, furthermore,
that where (as in present indus
trial society the rights of men
so require government should be
a servant, and the people as a
whole perform functions affect
ing the whole people.
This New Republic, based
upon the principle of self-gov-
eminent, builds upon that prin-
ciple the completed structure to
establish which that principle
has alone ever been contended
for. Nor is this structure to be
once definitely planned and there
remain. 1t must accommodate
society in every condition its
progress and environment from
time to time require. 1t is
elastic, and extensive, and never
to be outgrown, because ever to
be changed, even as the practic-
al rules of Individual conduct,
by the conditions of life and de-
velopment. All that we can say
is that justice now requires, from
all the circumstances of existing
society, that the privileges here
named, which give advantage
and produce inequality, be abol-
ished. There may be other priv
ileges arise, there may even now
be other adjustments required.
But this much, at least, must now
be achieved if society would rise
from out the conditions into
winch 1t is sunk. And this much
will establish republic whose
object will be to secure human
rights and the further advance
of human progress"
The volume closes with sue
cinct review of the issues involv-
ed and a brief discussion of how
the problems can be solved,
peaceably and speedily, along
the line of justice and freedom.

FOR JOHNNY,S MOTHER.

From womankind.
II you would retain Johnny's re-
spect, don't allow him to get the
idea that he must show more polite
ness to q stranger than he does to
you. Good manners 10 not some-
thing that is put on and of like
Sunday garment. Johnny mist make
them part of himself, or they do
him little good and you little credit.
A great deal has been said recently
about deceiving children, but not too
much, for many parents-good peo-
pie, too-think nothing Of telling
their little ones little "white ies."
Don't do 1t as you value your child's
future.
Don't be afraid to let Johnny have
all the fresh air he can possibly get.
Jobnny's little sister, too, needs
plenty OF out door exercise, and can
not grow up into the healthy woman
you want her to be, unless she gets
1t.
Remember that Johnny's sleeping
room-indeed every sleeping room
In the house-needs an abundance OF
fresh air. Arrangements should be
made to allow q little outside air
into the rooms at all times. Provide
separate bed for Johnny; don't
allow him to sleep with other chill
dren or with older persons.
Johnny's mind is very susceptible
to Impressions. A wise mother car
mold 1t, at least direct 1t In the right
way. You can interest him in the
good, the beautiful and the true Il
you will only take the pains aud use
your womsnly tact.
Don't, in your efforts to make Z
nice boy Of Johnny, make him Z
prig. Teach him to be kind ani
gentle without being effeminate, ts
be courageous for the right, withou
being "preachyi' and in al thing
