THE wAGE-sLAyE

Frequent reference is made by the
Socialistic press and other papers OF
kindred views, to wage slavery in cou-
nection with the laboring element OF
this country and elsewhere. Before
giving the term such wide and indis-
criminate application. as those who use
it are in habit of doing, it would be
well TO define the true meaning of the
odious appellation so fiercely bestowed
upon the laborers of this or any other
country. A reasonable definition of
the term wage-slaye would seem to be,
where the Iaborer has no voice in de-
termining the price of his labor, but Is
placed entirely at the mercy of his en-
ployer- A person thus subjected 10
the dictation of another might be prop
erly called a wage-slave, always pro
vided the laborer is compelled by stress
of poverty, to accept inadequate re-
muReration at the hands of the en-
ployer. On the other hand no NAH
can be properly designated as wage
slave who receives what he considers
a fair equivalent for his labor, no mat
ter how others may regard it, nor can
any person come within the meaning
of that term, who failing 10 obtain the
full demand for his services, cOmpro-
misses with his employer and accepts
less wages. The employer may be
guilty of injustice to the employe in
accepting his labor for less than its
true value, but even in such a case fhe
employee is no proper meaning Of the
term wage-slave. This pet name of
a certain class of newspapers is used
more for sensational effect than to de-
scribe the true condition of the lab0rer.
1t should never be found outside of
bombastical literature.

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.

When it comes TO making appropria-
tons Of millions for building war yes
sells, which is done annually, and for
coast defenceS and the like, congress is
ever found ready and willing with pa
triotic speeches and votes. But when
appropriations are asked by the in
terror there is always much talk of nee
essary retrenchment and insufficieny
of revenue. The reason for the diff
ference can be found in the fact that a
majority of the members OF congress
are more or less directly connected
with sea coast interests. Every in
terror commercial and productive in
terest is more or less directly involved
in the Isthmus canal enterprise which
has been hanging fire for years and
which is always put over on one pre-
text or another. The Panama project
is again being revived. A new COM
pany has been formed, with capital
of $10,000,000 for the purpose of max
ing borings along the route and build
ing what may be called trial canal,
fifteen metres wide by four metres
deep, along the most difficult part of
the system. If the outlook is encour-
aging when this is done, it is said that
financial institutions are ready to ad-
vance S10O,000,000 to complete the
great work Should this scheme be
actively developed, it will have an i'm
portant bearing ON the Nicaragua en-
terprise, and our government will have
to consider whether the rival canal
shall be built, and, if not, whether the
Panama canal can be controlled in the
interests of the United States.
