No Freedom with Poverty.

The man VINO is in danger of want,
or even the dread Of want, lis not a
free man; and the country which does
not guard him against this danger and
this dread, or does not assure him the
means of a livelihood, Is not a free
country, though 1t may be the freest
Of all the freer countries. In other
words, liberty and poverty are incom-
patible, and, If the poverty is extreme,
liberty is impossible to it. We pretend
otherwise, such of us as are not so
directly oppressed by the conditions;
but those who feel the burden know
better. From time to time they ex-
press their dissent in their uncomfort-
able way, but tacitly or explicitly, they
always dissent from our optimistic pre-
tense.--W. D. Howells. in Forum,

THE DANGEROUS CLASSES.

They Debated Too Long and the Citadel
Fell.
The walls of the state house were
cracked and the floors sagged, because
those who were on the ground tloor let
out the basement at high rents and un-
dermined the foundations in order to
get more room.
The state officers filled the cracks
with putty and nicely tinted over the
places. They appointed tenement
house commission and put down new
floors and the new floors sagged, too.
They put pillars on the outside OF the
house to check this tendency.
The Good Government Association
determined to take up the matter yig0r'
ously and added new chamber.
Now and then some one fell over the
crazy stairs. For such the charitable
established relief funds.
The drains were broken by the sink.
ing of the walls and fever began to ap.
pear.
The scientific department counted the
cases and divided them into "those due
to personal tendencies" and "those due
to environment" This did not mate
rally help.
The tenants in the sub-cellar suffer-
ed most. The benevolent went down
to them to educate them out Of their
inherent dirt.
The governor explained that If those
submerged tenants were taught the use
Of disinfectants, all would be well.
The socialists said that If the gov.
ernment owned the water pipes the
whole evil would be cured. The anar.
chists said that this showed that state
houses were an evil and must be razed
to the ground. But, while they de-
bated, the house fell with great crash

NO. 49,.

these laboring men that the
farmers Of Minnesota alone
have dispensed with more than
$4,000 laborers since the fall Of
prices set in, and that continuation OF
prevailing prices will force them to do
only what work they can do without
any hired help. The writer Of this, like
thousands Of othsrs, is getting tired
working for his board while he has to
pay his hired man and board him too.
If the 1aborer is prosperous he should
stand by the honest (?) dollar. II not
let him resign the notion that he be-
longs to the creditor class. This will
not be hard to do If he happens to be
out of work.

Our Cause II the Cause of the World.
If you dam up the river of progress,

Our Cause IL the Cause of the World.
If you dam up the river of progress.
At your peril and cost let 1t be!
That river must seaward, despite you,
Twill break down your dams and be
free!
And we heed not the pitiful barriers
That you in its way have down cast,
For your efforts but add to the torrent
Whose food must o'erwhelm you at
last!
For our banner Is raised and un.
furled;
At your head our defiance is hurl-
ed
Our cause is the cause Of. the world!
Our hope is the hope of the age.
We laugh in the face Of the forces
That strengthen the flood they op-
pose;
For, the harder oppression, the ficrcer
The current will be when 1t flows.
We shall win, and the tyrant's battal-
ions
Will be scattered like chaff in the
fight,
From which the true soldier of Free
dom
Shall gather new courage and might!
For our banner is raised and un-
furled;
At your head our defiance is hurl-
ed
Our hope is the hope of the ages,
Our cause is the cause of the world!
Whether leading the van of the fight
In the bitterest stress of the strife,
Or patiently bearing the burden
OF changelessly commonplace life,
One hope we have ever before US,
One aim to attain and fulfill,
One watchword we cherish to mark us
One kindred and brotherhood still!
For our banner is raised and un-
furled;
At your head our defiance Is hurl-
ed
Our hope is the hope Of the ages,
Our cause is the cause Of the world!
What matter If failure on failure
Crowd closely upon us and press?
Where hundred have bravely been
beaten,
The hundred and first wins success!
Our watchword is Freedom: :"--new
soldiers
Flock each day where her flag is un-
furled,
Our hope Is the hope of the ages.
Our cause is the cause of the world!
For our banner is raised and un-
furled:
At your head our defiance is hurl-
ed
Our hope is the hope of the ages.
Our cause is the cause Of the world!

FROM THE POPULIST FIELD,

Nebraska Populists are taking steps

was originally elected as Populist,

Snator Pettigrew has introduced a
bill authorizing the postmaster general
to acquire for the United States the in
vention of Prof. CTehore fand Lieuten-

struct line between Washington and

A number of silver Republican men,
bers of the Senate and House have de-
cided to support proposition provid-
ing for an export bounty on agricult-
ural products. They take the position
that by this system only can the farm
er secure benefits to compensate him
for import duties on other articles, and
will support proposition for an
amendment to the tariff bill providing
for the bounties. Senator Cannon will
offer the amendment in the Senate at
an early day.
Senator Harris of Kansas claims to
have found solution Of the Union
Pacific Railroad riddle, in the discov-
cry of a law passed in 1861, which
makes it not only constitutional but
obligatory for the government to take
charge of that road.

100000 men earn 81, 500 900
Which equal Is cents per day as the
true wage. Who doubts that the actu-
al truth would make no better showing
than we have here supposed? And who
doubts that it would be better for the
whole country II all the labor was en-
ployed all the time at rs cents day
than to have half employed at $3.50 per
day? / am not advocating low wages,
/ am only trying to show that wages
are desperately low. / am not opposed
to labor organization, but am trying
to expose its impotency in the work
of bringing better general conditions
No man can lift himself out of slough
by pulling at his boot straps. Labor
organization helps some inst as insur-
ance companies do, at the expense of
others. Wages enter into the cost Of
production and there can be no doubt
that more laborers would be employed
If wages were lower.
To get high average wage you must
have high average prices. To give
everybody work who wants it we must
have general prosperity. Good prices
only can give us that, not the high
prices made by tariff that only in
creases taxes and forces the consum.
er to buy less, thus defeating the pur-
pose intended. There is no use pro-
ducing if people are not able to buy.
When a bill to reduce freight rates is
introduced the employees rush to assist
in its defeat. Why? Because they
fear the law would effect a reduction o1
wages, and. in many cases, shut of
employment, It has never occurred t
