Industrial Slaves.
NJ. II. GOODWIN.

Though the war for the Union is over,
And the negro no longer in chains
Is toiling on Southern P1anta tons,
TO roll up for others his gains;
Yet up from the depth of the coal mine
And from the vast plains of the West,
And from the green hills of New England,
Comes the sound of the toi1ers' unrest,
Throughout the broad belt of our country,
Where the flag of our forefathers waves,
Arises the wall of wage-workers,
A host of industrial slaves.
But bark! on the breath of the morning
Is borne loud cry from affair."
Oh, is it the long threaded Outburst?
Are the masses engaged in war?
Oh, no, for the lightning is busy
Proclaining the news through the land
That the people at least with their ballots
United have made a firm stand.
And 10! on the face of the toilers
Is look that contentment engraves,
For the men and the women no longer
Are weary, industrial slaves.

How the Gold Standard Effects
Labor.
John A. KEYES.

JOHN A. kEYES.
There have been many false
notions created and propagated by
the gold standard advocates, and
these misleading notionsa are nowbe-
ing Enthusiastically hawked about the
streets by the paid vassals of the
Republican machine.
Prominent among the fake argu-
ments is the familiar one that with
silver restored workingmen will be
paid in 30 cent dollars. The state
ment itself is an evident contradict
ton, and of course there is nothing
upon which to base it, for as is con-
coded on all hands the remOneti-
cation of silver will raise the COM
modify price of silver and lower the
commodity price of gold, and the
two metals will meet at the mint in
the dollar, the honest 100 cent
dollar, good for purchasing all
other commodities and paying
debts contracted in the past or
present or to come. This 30 cent
falsehood will dismiss, therefore,
with the remark that it is too ab
surd to merit serious discussion
and turn to the second proposition
of our gold opponents, which is
that the laboring man is now
being paid good wages in the best
kind of money-the best dollar.
Now for the sake of argument let
us admit something hardly true,
however) that the nominal wage
rate is we'll kept up, and the dollar
a valuable one which pays it. That
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1896-09-12

and then shuts down until another
demand is made for his goods, and
thus business is being conducted
all over the country. What is the
result? 1t is that the workmen are
out of employment a large part of
the time, and if you will average
their wages for the year you will
find the actual wage rate is very
low
This cannot be successfully dis
puted. But there is still another
element. BY reason of this system
of doing business, and by reason of
the fact that the farmer has nothing
to buy with there is a large per-
centage of workmen who have no
employment at all, who are now
classed as unemployed-"The army
of the unemployed" if you please,
and they are also to be considered
when we speak of the average or
actual wage, and adding this mul-
titude to the other partially en-
ployed and dividing the sum total
of wages among them you reduce
the actual wage still lower, and you
thus get it down to where the real
beauties of the gold standard be-
come apparent, and the black curse
of it's presence stands revealed.
But this is not all. The parting of
the way has nearly come. L can
see the sign post near at hand.
can see the day upon us when or
ganized labor cannot maintain
itself under the gold standard
when the pressure will be too great;
when the unemployed will crowd
out the union men; when factories
and mills and mines will close
down to open only on a reduced
wage scale-I think it is upon us
now. Then the night of wage
slavery will close down and the
free workman will be no more.
The only possible remedy is a
slowly but steadily rising market;
a rise in prices so that the activities
of production can be resumed. NO
sane man can fail to see the truth
of these propositions.
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1896-09-12

does not solve the problem of the
poverty of labor, nor does it argue
in favor of the gold standard. We
must inquire at the outset what has
kept the nominal wage rate where
it now is.
To this question there can be but
one answer and every man who has
studied the problem at all deeply
knows that it is labor organization.
To maintain the nominal wage rate
has been the effort-the supreme
effort Of all labor organization
every strike, every boycott, every
agitation, every combination of
labOrers has had that for it's prime
motive; and so thorough has the
work been done that ithas partially
succeeded. Indeed, it is the same
principle as thetrust. Thetrust seeks
to maintain prices of certain COM
modities by ombination, by limit
ing outputs, etc. It succeeds. The
only difference is that it is a cruel
and mercenary combination for sell
fish purposes, while the combina-
ton of 1aborers is a patriotic ne
cessity under existing conditions,
to preserve a decent standard of
living among it's members. .
Therefore, it is that to labor or
ganizati0n is due the maintenance
of the nominal wage rate and not
to the gold standard. The gold
standard on the contrary is ever
bearing down the price of labor to-
gether with other commodities and
not only does it directly effect
labor adversely but it's indirect
effect is still more terrible. Under
it for want of an adequate supply
of money all business has to be
done upon heavy margin Of
credit or borrowed capital, and
furthermore, on account of it's
scarcity the market is slowly but
steadily falling and b as been for
the past six years, and all prices OF
manufactured articles are falling
and they have to be sold upon
declining market.
The manufac turer is thus driven
so close to the wall that he finds
the goods he produced yesterday
are not worth quite so much today
as when they were manufactured,
man ufactures on orders only. The
practical result is that when he
receives an order he employs men
to fill it at the nominal wage rate
