that the foregoing appeared in, there
also appeared the following significant
editorial:
''Of all the Labor day addresses the
most significant was that made by Ex-
Gov. Altgeld, of Illinois, under the aus
pices of the United Labor league of
this city. Gov. Altgeld cut to the root
of the evils that hinder the advance
ment of our laboring classes and in so
doing cut a broad swathe in the ad-
vance of the democratic party. Rec
ognizing that our railroads are cor
rupting the body polite, that they do
not render equitable transporta-
ton facilities but systematical-
ly discriminate in favor of
those industries that the cliques con-
trolling the railroads are interested in.
and those industries willing to paw
tribute to such cliques, while discrim-
mating against others, thus making
such thing as equality of opportu-
nifty an unknown quantity in industries
dependent upon the railroads for trans
portation; recognizing moreover that
our railroads are grossly over-capital-
lied and that they tax those using the
roads in the shape of undue transporta-
ton charges in order to pay interest
on much of this over-capitaliZation,
and seeing no remedy for these evils
other than government ownership.
Gov. Altgeld boldly advocated such
| ownership. Thus he went in advance
of his party, and when he further
urged government ownership of tele-
graphs and declared his belief in the
referendum he put himself on the
grounds of the populist rather than
the democratic party.
Gov. Altgeld is one of those noble
men decried because of their very up
rightness, who has the courage to
stand by his convictions whatever
may be the cost, one of those men
ready to sacrifice self for principle,
ready to bear personal abuse and SLAM
der in order to promote the country's
veal. His reward may be loss of place
in his party and the closing of the
paths to political preferment, it may
be the making of place and honor at
the hands of new party, but what
ever the reward, he possesses that all
too-rare courage of following I'M
swervingly the path of duty as he sees
it. He cringes not before the rapidly
developing issues of the day, he fears
not to meet those new issues, avow his
convictions and do what he may to
give direction to such issues, not held
back, as many men, by the fear of
wrecking personal ambitions. Thus
Gov. Altgeld possesses the qualities of
leadership and possessing those quail
ties is fitted for leadership. He should
have leading place in the struggle
for the emancipation of the producing
classes of his adopted country"

REDEMPTION.
a Nebraska .Populist Paper Exposes the
Fallacy of Bryan's Specie Redemption

Nebraska Populist Paper Exposes the
Fallacy of Bryan's Specie Redemption
Idea.
Few words are worse distorted and
the meaning less readily understood
than redeem" and its derivatives, es-
pecially when used in connection with
the money question. The dictionaries
give Ito purchase back; to ransom as
adefinition.
But the goldites try to make a sim
pie exchange or swap" mean redemp-
ton; however, only SO far as will
serve their purpose, and all other ex-
changes and swaps do not mean re-
demption at all, but something else.
The unfortunate who leaves his over
coat at a pawnshop, in order to secure
few paltry dollars. ''redeems" his
coat later if he be fortunate enough to
acquire sufficient money so to do, that
is, he purchases it back" When he
pawned it he made a conditional sale;
If the condition be met within the
time fixed. he "repurchases;" other
wise, the sale becomes absolute. Pur-
chase by the pledgor after lapse of
the condition, could not be called "re-
demption."
The original pledgor of all money is
the government; each individual re-
ceiving it first hands has performed
some service for the government, or in
Some way entitled to credit for having
caused to be performed some service:
and the money is pledge given with
out definite time limitation, to be re-
deemed at some future day by the
pledgor (the government in services
similar or equivalent to those for
which it was pledged. Hence, all in
termediate holders of this pledge
money! stand in the dual light of
pledgee and pledgor, accordingly as
they receive it and pay it out again.
In this light, money is truly ''re-
deemed" each and every time it passes
from one to another in payment for
commodities or cancellation of debt;
and its final redemption by the original
pledgor is accomplished when it is re-
ceived by the government for taxes or
other dues owing by the individual to
the government.
Swapping dollars is not redemption
any more than it would be redemption
If Pawnbroker Isaacs and Pawnbroker
Jacobs should exchange pawned over
coats in their possession. Even if I'm
pecunious Ira should exchange another
and better overcoat with Pawnbroker
Isaacs for the one Ira had previously
pawned, it would not constitute real
redemption" for Ira would still owe
Isaacs the money he originally received
and would still have one overcoat lin
soak"
Hence, it follows that no legal tender
money is irredeemable: yet none is re-
deemed by being ''swapped" for other
legal tender money. Nebraska Inde-

Real Reform.

At the recent meeting of the Illinois
State Federation of Labor, held in
Bloomington, the president in his ad-
dress offered the following sug-
gestions along the line of real reform:
Superficial remedies are inadequate
to subdue fundamental ills, and there
fore earnestly recommend that this
federation take bold and unequivocal
stand in favor of: 1. The abolition of
land monopoly by levying all taxes
upon land values irrespective of i'm
provements in lieu of all other taxes.
2. The government ownership of rail-
ways, telegraphs and telephones and
their operation for the convenience of
the people and for their benefit. 3.
The municipal ownership and control
of all those public conveniences which
become necessity by reason of the
Capitalization of population. To
emancipate labor it is first of all neces-
sary to destroy those who enslave it,
and it hardly requires the wisdom of .
philosopher to discern that each of the
interests enumerated can levy tribute
upon the product of industry to the en-
tent Of all that it can bear"

CAPITAL AND LABOR.

''The Impending Conflict Is the Mightiest,
the Darkest, the Most Terrific Threat of
This Century"
The greatest war the world has ever
seen is between capital and labor.
The strife is not like that which in
history is called the Thirty Years war,
for 1t is a war of centuries, it is a war
of the five continents, it is war hem
ispheric. The middle classes in this
country, upon whom the nation has
depended for holding the balance of
power and for acting as mediators be-
tween two extremes, are diminishing,
and If things go on in the same ratio
as they are now going it will not be
very long before there will be no
middle class in this country, but all
will be very rich or very poor, princes
or paupers, and the country will be
given up to palaces and novels.
The antagonistic forces are closing
in upon each other. The Pennsyl-
vania miners strikes, the telegraphic
operators strikes, the railroad en-
ployes' strikes. the movements of the
boycotters and the dynamiters are
only skirmishes before a general en-
gagement, or, if you prefer it, escapes
through the safety valves of an impris-
oned force which promises the explo-
sion of society. You may pooh pooh
it; you may say that this trouble, like
an angry child, will cry itself to sleep;
you may belittle it by calling it Fou-
rierism, or socialism, or st. Simonism,
or nihilism, or communism, but that
will not hinder the fact that it is the
mightiest, the darkest, the most ter
rife threat of this century. All
attempts at pacifcation have
been dead failures, and mo-
nopoly is more arrogant and
the trades unions more bitter.
Give us more wages" cry the en-
ployes. You shall have less" say the
capitalists. Compel us to do fewer
hours of toll in a day" "You shall
toll more hours" say the others.
Then, under certain conditions, we
will not work at ALL" say these
Then you shall starve," say those,
and the workmen gradually using up
that which they accumulated in better
times, unless there be some radical
change, we shall soon have in this coun-
try 1000, 900 hungry men and women
Now, 100000 hungry people cannot
be kept quiet. All the enactments of
legislatures and all the constabularies
of the cities and all the army and navy
of the United States cannot keep
1000, 600 hungry people quiet. Rev T.
