W. Ii. Williams, assistant supcrinten-
dent of the St Louis and East ct. Louis
Railway Company was seriously injured
internally and so severely hurt about the
head, his arm broken and the cords of
his left arm severey injured, that there is
a possibility of his losing 1t. Mr.. VIII
liams was eating supper at the relay re-
treat and saw the storm coming, but like
others, did not think there was any dan
ger of the building caying in, and they
exerted all their strength in keeping the
doors and windows closed till the collapse
came, when re was buried beneath the
walls. Mr.. Williams showed presence of
mind by running lath up through the
debris, aiding the rescuers In their work.
Shortly after o O'Clock there settled
upon the city clouds SO dense that day
light quickly gave place to the darkness
OF midnight. That was the precursor OF
the tornado from the southwest. The
hurricane from the northwest gave the
western portion of the city its severe
shaking up. The tornado from the south
west, which is responsible for the loss of
life and untold destruction along the
levee district and in East st. Louis, fol-
lowed the hurricane by about half an
hour. What must be charged up to this
double visitation, only time can tell.
Health Commissioner starklon, two
hours after the tornado had PASSED, feared
further than 1000 persons mad sustained
serious injuries.
Perhaps the most impressive evidence
OF the storm clouds force IL to be seen IN
the wrench of the eastern end OF the Eads
bridge. There the tornado dealt with
stone masonry. beginning at the big
eastern piece extending to the foot OF the
incline, a cloud cut OF the upper part of
the. structure, as II IL had been a
iiimsy trestle, instead OF structure OF
world-famc masonry. What the tornado
did to the Eads bridge would not
be believed unless the. eyes see IL. Fire
aided much to the loss. The alarm sys-
tenn was paralyzed. Approaches were
blockaded. A 900 900 confisgration on
the st. Louis side was supplemented by
n dozen lesser fires. In East 81. Louis a
mill was burned and considerable losses
were sustained. The fires added at least
$500, 900 to the loss Such another sight
OF horror in 81. Louis was never known.

Impeachment of Our Industrial
System.
REV. J. J. LANIER.

IF we need not fear the productive
powers of the earth ever failing us,
we need never fear over-population,
for never was there time when the
world could not support ten times
it's population. Forsooth! pessimis-
tic, political economists try to
make us believe that we are suffer-
ing from over population, when the
state of Texas alone can support
half the population Of these United
States. France, country less fer
tile and with no more resources
than the great Empire state OF the
West, supports at least forty-mil-
lion people. Never need the peo-
pie of the earth fear the ravages OF
the cold while we have coal mines
already discovered sufficient tolast
for thousands of years. Never
need the world fear lack of clothes,
as long as there are in the South
millions of acres of the choicest cot
ton lands uncultivated; never need

world as man has made it! In the
world as God has made it there is
plenty for all; in theworld as man
has made it, there is starvation in
the midst of this Astounding plenty!
The farmers have more eatab]es
of all kinds than they can sell; corn
used as fuel: fruits and vegetables
rotting in every orchard and
garden in the land. The mills have
more clothing than they can sell
and are shutting down; the miners
have more coal than they can sell
and are not working full time. The
railroads have empty cars, ships
lie idle at the wharves. Advertise
for men of any profession or busi-
ness, and you will have the side
walks blockaded with applicants.
Plenty to eat, plenty to drink, and
plenty to wear, and men standing
idle in the markets all the day long!
Our Industrial system today is
on trial before jury composed of
suffering humanity. If it is to be
justified, and if it can be justified, it
must feed the hungry, clothe the
naked, and give drink to the thirsty.
If our Industrial System can do
this, it will stand to judgment day!
But if 1t cannot at least do this
much, the sooner it's Judgment
Day comes the better for deluded
and suffering humanity!
The fault is not with nature
there is plenty for all. The fault is
not with the people-they want
work but can't get it. The fault is
with our infamous laws and bar
baric Industrial system, that have
concentrated the wealth of this
country into the hands of Il few,
and given these few the right to
say who shall work and who shall
not work; when they shall work and
when they shall not work; how
much they shall get and how
much they shall not get. We live
in a country whose prosperity or
starvation depends upon the will of
few money barons! There are in
the United States men whom l
could count on my ten fingers, who
have the power to stop every car
from rolling on our railroads, and
ever spindle in our factories. The
coal barOns alone can do it! And
still we are foolish enough to think
we are living in a free country
where the people rule!
The effect of the concentration of
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1896-12-05

it tear the pangs of hunger, so long
as wheat is cheaper than corn, and
corn il such abundance on the
pra;rics of the West that it is cheap
er fuel than coal.
The miners are working on short
time, because more coal is being
produced than the people need.
Still many people must suffer from
cold, because they cannot get any
work to earn money to pay for coal
with.
The cotton mills are shutting
down, because more clothes are be-
ing made than the people need, and
still large per centage of the peo-
pie are half clothed or in rags be-
cause they are denied the chance to
earn money to pay for clothes.
And so it is with every trade and
business; all of them are producing
more than they can sell; the farm
ers more wheat and cotton; the
miners more coal; the mills more
clothing; and so on to the end of
the long list.
One would at first think we need
more people to sell to. An increase
in population would furnish the
necessary market for this over-plus.
So there are too few people in the
world. So they argue when they
want to sell. But when a man
tries to get employment of any
kind, I don't care what it is, he has
the utmost difficulty in getting it.
He is told that there are too
many people in the world. When
manufacturer wishes to sell his
goods, there are too few people in
the world. When a man wishes to
sell his labor, there are too many
people in the world. Too many and
too few people in the world at the
same time! What an absurdity.
An over-production of every ar
ticle of necessity and still hunger
and cold and nakedness-is the
world as man has made it! The
few reveling in luxury, a larger few
in easy circumstances, the mass
with the wolf in bowling distance
of the door, and the submerged
tenth who can get work neither by
entreaties nor prayers, must beg or
steal or starve-this is the world as
man has made it! The agriculture
ists' farms being steadily mort
gagged, the workingmen's wages be-
ing steadily cut, while millionaires
are steadily increasing,-is the
