forced idlers or assist them in any
way TO supply the necessities OF them
selves and families, because to do so
would be psternsIism. There is no
way in which idle men and women
can be aided by government until
after they have become criminals.
Then places are provided for them
where they are fed and clothed and
whore the products of their labor
are brought into competition with
those Of free labor. Isn't it q sys-
tenn to be proud Of? While such q
state OF things exists, the evils and
disadvantages of which are generally
acknowledged, every person who has
the temerity to suggest that changes
are possible by which a better state
of society might be secured, is de-
nounced as an impractical visionary
and a crank. How would it do for
the masses of the people to cut loose
for q time from the monopOly-oWned,

WHAT OF IT9

CHICAGO, March 3O.-Judge Baker rem.
deFed a decision to-day in the suit of
the attorney general against the United
States School Furniture company, in
which he declared that the company is a
trusb and monopoly, and that it's existence
is contrary TO the public policy of the state
Of Illinois. Attorney General Moloney fled
his information against the company about
year ago, alleging that the company was a
combination of some sixteen corporations
and firms engaged in ths manufacture of
school furniture and controlling the great
bulk Of the output Of school furniture in
the whole country.
The attorney general, in his information,
alleged that che combination was a trust
and that the contract with the sixteen COM
panieS composing il was an attempted
evasion Of the laws against trusts and COM
binatiOns in restraint of trade. This posi-
tiOn the court susbains.
Now, is it presumed that the
school-furniturs trust will 20 out
of business? What will this deci-
sion amount to, anyhow? Similar
decisions have been rendered re-
specting the sugar trust three or
four times, but the sugar trust goes
right along In the old way, perfectly
regardless of courts or Legislatures.
The tendency of the age is toward
concentration in all departments Of
industry and commerce, and this
tendency cannot be arrested. It is in
evitable. The only rational solution
of the problem is the naturalization
OF every monopoly, and we may as
we'll recognize this fact now as at a
later day. Our wise men Coon

that cry has lost its terrors among
thinking people.

HOW IMPROVED MACHINERY AFFECTS
LABOR.

In his summary Of the twelfth an
nusl report of the bureau Of statistics
Of labor of the state of New York, the
commissioner states "the decrease of
the working force by the use of ma

Carpenters, 10 per cent; clothing, button
hole workers, 30 per cent; shirtmakerS, 30

Mr.. Tsubeneck is aware Of the fact
or not, If the socialists, as above de-
fined, were eliminated from the Peo-
ple's party, he would find himself at
the head OF q very ridiculously in
significant number Of voters. It is
doubtful, however, if he will ever
realize either the character Of the
evils Of the existing system, the
measures necessary to remedy them,
or the sentiment and the temper of
the people who are engaged in the
present contest for the overthrow Of
our American aristoCrsCy.
Senator PETER, of all of these let
ter writer's, is the only one who ex-
hibits anything like comprehensive
view of the eYils or the needs Of the
hour. While we think his declara-
tion, that new party will be formed,
might better have been withheld,
still we find little else in his letter
with which we cannot fully Iagree.
The important thoughts which we
would impress upon the minds of all
Populists are embraced in the ques-
tions which Senator PETER asks at
the beginning of his letter, and we
take the liberty to emphasize one Of
these because of its essential con-
trast with the platform of the BIZ
metallic party and with the ideal
platform of the single-issue Popu-
lists.

The senator's whole letter shows
that he recognizes evils that finsn-
cisl reform alone cannot cure, and,
in fact, we believe he sees that fnan-
Cisl reform, unacCompanied by other
reforms which are more essential in
themselves, would result in injury
rather than benefit. We give his

to the present situation and future
prospects Of parties as they see them.
The most important parts Of this COR
respondence appear in another place
in this issue.
It will be observed that there is
considerable difference Of opinion
among the writers relative to the ex-
act propositions which the next ma
tional platform of the reform forces
should contain. It will be observed
further that they all agree that there
is to be new party in 1896, which
they presume will be able TO unite

In view of the events that have
preceded this correspondence, we
may as we'll take a comprehensive
view Of the whole subject presented.
We have nothing to lose by 80 do
ing and nothing to gam by suffering
ourselves to be deceiv ed concerning
the facts or the probabilities involved.
1t is perfectly clear to us that there
has been a previous understanding
between the writers of these letters
upon the one topic upon which they
all agree. They believe in a new
party because they evidently expect
to aid In It's establishment.
Now, let not the reader hastily
Judge that we are writing with q
view Of adverse criticism. Such is
not our purpose at this time. We
simply desire now to discuss the
probabilities involved IN this GORE.
spondence. There are many things
that might be said, aud that future
circumstances may require to be
SAID, that it might not be as well to
say now. What position we shall
take when the proper time arrives
viii depend entirely upon those fu-
ture circumstances. We have but
two points to suggest at this time
relative to the topics discussed in
these letters:
Q) 1t is a matter of no concern
whatever whether it be the Peoples
party or some other party that shall

reforms as the exigsncies of th1
times demand, and which shall af'
ford greater promise Of success than
the People 3 party as at present COZ
stitutsd, every voter in the Peoples
party should sustain it.
(2) Having made the above state
ment, we may still be allowed to OBJ
serve that, in our Judgment, declsrR'
tions from prominent Populists, and
especially from trusted officials, iu
behalf OF q new party at this time
are, to say the least Of them, prems-
ture. So far as the masses Of the
people are aware, no movement has
yet been made for the organization of
such q party. The bimetallic party
does not I'LL the bill, and it is safe to
say that not one Populist in 100
would be willing to accept SO narrow
platform as the one that party has
presented. It would seem to us
more appropriate for Populists to
await future developments before
being in haste to declare themselves
in favor Of something that has yet
no signs of existence. II, hereafter,
there should be a general break
from the ranks Of the republican
and democratic parties, as there may
be after their next national conven-
tions, and if the disafected elements
shall then organize and invite our
cooperation, we may then very
properly consider the inducements
for cooperation which they may
offer us. There were about 4 mil
lions Of stay.st.home voters at the
last national election-men who re-
fused to support either Of the exist"
ing political parties. These, to-
gether with the disaHeCted who are
still identified with the old parties,
and the solid body of Populists,
would constitute an overwhelming
majority of the American people.
They ought to get together and
overthrow the arrogant aristocracy
now in control of the affairs Of this
nation; and possibly they will. Is it
immaterial to us under what name
they unite. The essential thing ia
that they shall be brave enough to
make their demands sufficiently COM
prehensive that, If carried into effect,
they will remedy the evils Of the ex'
isting system.
This is all we have to say in refer
ence to these letters, and the sub
jeCts to which they relate in q gen.
ersl way. Of some of the letters IN
particular, however, we have a few
thoughts to suggest. Mr.. Taube-
