facturers and mine operators to issue
orders, etc., payable otherwise than in
lawful money, unless the same were
negotiable or redeemable at face value
or in goods at the option of the
holder was decided to be uncon-
stitutional as being class legislation.
The animus Of the court was shown in
these words: "They (the statutes) in
troduce paternalism which is at war
with the fundamental principles of
our government. Judge Barclay,
dissenting, said; "It seems unreason-
able to hold that the courts alone shall
determine what the public policy of
the state shall be respecting valid
agreements between parties situated so
that one may have an undue advant-
age over the other. 1t is reversing the
presumption that a statute is valid
until proved otherwise"
A Nebraska law provided for a day
of eight hours and provided for r-doub-
ling the pay of the preceding hour in
every hour that an employe was re-
quired to work overtime. Of course
it was OVerthrOWn. The court said:
''For some reason not necessary to con-
slider, there has in modern times arisen
q sentiment favorable to paternalism
in matters Of legislation. The out
growth of this sentiment has been
Legislation for the regulation of the
media of payment; the manner in
which products shall be measured or
weighed when compensation depends
on measure or weight; hours of labor
and other kindred subjects.
The argument is made in favor the ne.
cessity that each day the excess over
eight hours should be devoted to rest,
recreation and mental improvement,
loses much of it's force when these
very desirable benefits are by the stat
ute itself, restricted to certain defined
classes of labor, no one of which, in
dependent of statute, deyotes 80 many
hours to labor as do the classes denied
the protection Of the statute" Low
VS.. Rees Printing Co., 1884,
Finally the recent case of Tilt VS..
People again commits Illinois to a
policy hostile to labor laws. The law
making the legal days work of fe-
male factory employe to be eight hours,
and forty.eight hours for a week, was
held void. The right to labor and to
contract was held to be a constitutional
guaranty which cannot be taken away.
Even the police power could hardly
reach the evil according to Judge Ma
gruder who said: "The police power of
the state can only be permitted to limit
or abridge such fundamental right as
the right to make contracts, when the
exercise of such power is necessary to
promote the health, comfort, welfare
or safety of society or the public; and
it is questionable whether it can be ex-
ercised to prevent injury to the indi-
vidual engaged in particular calling"
But contract is hardly sacred under
all circumstances, for the United States
supreme court lately upheld a law linn
iting to $40 the fee for prosecuting
pension claim, saying: "It is within
the undoubted power of the govern
ment to restrain some individual from
all contracts as well as all individuals

ulists who insist that q broader and
more comprehensive platform is nec-
essary to hold the party together.
They have adopted these second.
hand weapons, also, after the old
parties have exhausted their force, if
they ever had any, and practically
abandoned them. It was a very COM
mon thing three of four years ago for
republican organs and politicians to
class all Populists as socialists, and
appeal to republican prejudices
against socialism as a party war cry.
Like every other republican war cry
its vitality could survive but a single
campaign. In this state, for instance,
the cry Of socialism" was succeeded
by "stand up for Kansas" and that
likewise passed into sreminiscence to
be followed by "Ksnsss must be re-
deemed" What the next one will be
remains to be seen.
Now, years after the republican
party has exhausted the force of the
cry Of socialism after public ssnti-
ment has beeL educated and the
people understand not only what So
clalism is, but comprehend also the
purpose Of the cry against it and
against Populists as exponents of
such socialist doctrines as public own

phones and mines, and municipal own

abandonment Of everything they
have formerly advocated, except the

sist upon supporting other things be-
sides financial reform. Not only this,
they resort to the same unscrupulous
methods of misrepresentation and de-
ception that have ever characterized
the plutoCrstiU press. For instance,
they say the st. Louis conference
was captured by the Chicago social.
lists, and they condemn the action Of
that conference. Inssmuch as the
conference did nothing but rsafirm
it's faith in the Omaha platform, it is
difficult for the average Populist to
understand what mortal sin was COM
mitted, even if it were true that the

tion than that OK finance. Their
scheme miscarried. There were not
more than a dozen men there who
favored il. More members Of the ma
tional committee itself were opposed
to 1t than were in favor Of it, and,
outside of the committee, the confer
ence was practically unanimous
against it. These are the facts, or
part Of them, in regard to that con-
ference, as everyone knows who was
there. If the Watchmsn and Record
Review want any more of the facts
relating to that meeting, they can
have them.
Now comes Senator Stewart, also,
with his version Of Populism. In a
recent letter, he says:
The Populist party is mainly composed Of
earnest Reformers and cannot be controlled
in the same way that the old party cOnven-
tions are controlled, but free passes and
money can be and have been distributed
amongst earnest men Of extreme notions
and dishonest socialists from the cities to
enable them TO dominate the Populist con-
ventiOns. To my own personal knowledge
chs was done in making up the Populist
convention in 1892 in Omaha, and il was a
marvel to me that 30 little Of bad and 80
much of good was incorporated in the
Omaha platform. But now, since the Peo-
ple's party has become an important factor
the managers of gold monopoly have re-
newed their energies in confusing the coun-
oils Of the party by encouraging the social
lists TO take possession Of it. Mr.. Lloyd,
rich man, and q socialist from Chicago, led
the forces which dominated at the Ooun-
oils Of the Peoples party at st. Louis in
December last. I am informed that he
maintained at that council that the money
question was che least important, and that
il should be subordinsted to the pet theories
of the sOCialistiO elements. You and l
know chat a party thus loaded down can
never elect president OF the United States.
Senator Stewart carries the charge
Of socialistic domination back to the
Omaha convention, and says TO his
own personal knowledge free passes
and money were used to secure the
attendance of socialists to control the
aCti on Of that convention. We do
not believe Senator Stewart knows
anything Of this kind, and we call
upon him to publish any facts Of
which he has knowledge respecting
any person who was In the Omaha
convention as he intimRtes and for
the purposes stated.
Mr.. Stewart will have to 90 still
farther back in the history Of this
movement than the Omaha conven-
tion to find the origin of the Populist
platform. The Omaha convention
simply reafirmed the platform of
the great industrial council held at
st. Louis in February preceding it,
and that platform was a mere COM
pilation of the old demands Of the
Farmers Alliance and Industrial
Union, the Knights of Labor, and
other industrial organizations that
were represented in the council.

Labor Laws and the Courts.

ing determination to nullify labor laws.
In 1886 it rendered nugatory q statute
requiring mine operators to put up
scales, weigh coal at the mines and pay
the miners upon the basis of weight.
Said the court: "Undoubtedly if these
sections fall within the police power,
they may be maintained on that
ground. But quite obviously they do
not. Their requirements have no tend
ency to insure the personal safety of
the miner, or to protect his property or
the property of others. They do not
have reference to the comfort, safety
or welfare of society. Mining coal is
not public employment, and the act
cannot require a public record to be
kept of the coal mined, its weight,
ETC." (Millett VS.. People.)
In 1891, the Illinois legislature passed
an act requiring mine operators to
weigh the coal before screening it, and
to pay the miners on the basis of such
weight. This just enactment was held
unconstitutional in 1892 in the case of
Ramsey VS.. People. In 1893, the same
tribunal in Bracebridge Coal Company
VS.. People pronounced unconstitutional
law providing for the weekly pay
ment of wages to laborers. The ground
was taken that it deprives persons of
the right of making contracts, without
due process Of law.
The fleeing of the miserable factory
operatives under various pretexts led
the Massachusetts, general assembly to
enact that "no employer shall impose a
fine upon, or Withhold the wages, or any
part Of the wages, Of an employe en-
gagged at weaving, for imperfectiOns
that may arise during the process of
weaving" The penalty was a fine of
not over 800 for the first and $500 for
succeeding offenses. In Common
wealth vs.. Perry, the court decided
that the law was unconstitutional as
interfering with the inslienable right
Of acquiring, possessing and protecting
property, and also impairing the obi.
cation of contract.
The belief that we must always have
the poor with us seems to obtain in
Texas, where Judge Simpkins said:
"Unquestionsbly, so long as men must
earn a living for their families and
themselves by labor, there must be, as
there always has been, oppression of
the working classes" He was con-
STRUNG an act of 1887 making railways
liable for 20 per cent. additional as
damages if they failed to pay their em.
ployes within fifteen days after demand
Of wages. Continuing he said: "If
the legislature has the right to enforce
ordinary labor claims by penalties, it
certainly cannot select certain class
for the exercise of such legislation"
He held further that it should apply to
telegraph and other companies also,
and that as it did not protect employer
and employe alike it was unconstitu-
tionsl.
In Arkansas, law requiring wages
due to be paid to an employe on the
dsy-of his discharge was held void, ex-
cept as to corporations.
