What Machinery Has Done.

The following statements. compiled
by a person who has given the subject
4 great deal Of thought. show how
great has been the effect of labor-sav-
ing machinery.
One man and two boys do the work
which it required eleven hundred spin
ners to do but a small number of years
ago.
One man does the work now OF fifty
Weavers. VINO were required at the time
of his grandfather.
Cotton printing machines have re-
placed fifteen hundred per cent. Of
hand labor.
one machine with one man as attend
ant manufactures as many horseshoes
in one day as it would take five hundred
men to make in the same time.
one nail machine has taken the place
of one thousand men.
la the manufacture Of paper ninety
five per cent. of hand labor has been
replaced.
one man now makes as much pottery
ware IN the same time as one thousand
could do before machinery was applied.
by the use of machinery in loading
and unloading ships one man can per
form the labor of two thousand men
working without It's aid.
Steel-ties machinery produces a saw
ing OF five hundred per cent.
An expert matchmaker can turn out
from two hundred and fifty to three
hundred watches each year with the
aid OF machinery, eighty-Gve per cent.
OF former hand labor being thus dis
placed.

waves of a stormy capitalistic sea,
we dare not overload the life-boat,
and so, just now, can admit only those
families who bring enough cash,
tools, or other capital to make them
self supporting: but we hope within a
few years to be able to receive all
who come. Then, and not till then,
will attainture of blood for Il fathers
poverty cease to disgrace our civili-
zation To this noble cause we solicit
your adhesion. even though it should
necessitate that you cease spending
all your time" working for some CAPT
talist whose dogs are better cared for
than are your own children.

OUR INVITATION.
By THE MAN WITHOUT A SOUL.


written for Industrial Freedom.l
Have you son or daughter, neiGhbor,
To be marked with tolls disgrace,
Where the cruel tread of labor
Grinds its trademark in their face:
Do YOU know the world is scheming
While your babies are asleep?
And this nightmare they are dream
ing:
cold is god, and life is cheap"
Cruel curse of competition,
Hear the toiling millions tell
How this grinding tolls perdition
Makes their life hungry hell:
Drives all hope from heart of labor,
Causing millions now to weep:
"Grind them. crush them cries their
neighbor,
Bread is dear, and blood is cheap.
Man. Il greedy. grasping giant,
Grabbing with hellish greed,
And the slaves, subdued and suppliant.
Cringing cowardly to creed.
Lord of love, how long must labor
Languish in this cringing state?
Kicked and curs'd by wealthy neigh
Dor,
Crying, Gold, our god, is great"
Come away. oh plundcred labor!
Join our brotherhood of toll:
Come. and be our friend and neigh
Dor;
Leave that hell of greed's turmoil.
Reach your hand, we'll gladly meet
you,
Lead YOU into Labor's fold:
Where no more these words will
greet you:
There is only one God-gold.'
We have snatched the spark of free
dom,
Almost flown from off the land:
Press'd it to our bare. brown bosom.
Held there by our Calloused hand:
For with us, Respondent neighbor,
Only free men tread the sod:
And we value honest labor
Far above their golden god.

our housing capacity. This too will
be delayed if we are compelled to
take outside work: but we will do
anything rather than lose the 100
acres.
What do the reserves say?

About luxury. What is luxury?
Not merely a dictionary definition,
but one that will serve as a guide to
action? Let us define it as "A use of
some good thing which ispleasant but
not warranted by circumstances. ="
Eve gallons of water for bath might
ordinarily be classed as a necessity:
but on board a wrecked ship where
men are furnishing for water it would
certainly be Il luxury. Meat is com
monty called a necessity, but when
grain is so scarce that multitudes are
starving, it would be unwarranted to
use portion of the grain for fatten-
ing stock in order that d favored few
might have meat, while the many
starve. Fruit and nuts are pleasant
and useful, but very well remember
the i'll opinion | once formed of man
who spent a large proportion of his
earnings for nuts, to be consumed
wholly by himself, while the family
had scarcely food enough to prevent
hunger.
With millions starving, and the re-
form movement languishing for lack
of means, self indulgence would
seem to be unwarranted by the cir
c instances. When every human
being is well housed and well fed.
what would now be a luxury will be
fully warranted by the circumstances
and so wholly justifable.

A Working Program. Living Is
sues gives the following as working
platform on which all reformers can
unite:
l. Public Ownershipof all monopo-
lies, including land, and all businesses
as last as they are organized into
trusts.
,. Direct Legislation. Proper
tional Representation and Power of
Recall.
3. Complete Civil Service Reform.
l. Immediate employment on pub
lie works, at living wage, of all who
apply.
This is not Socialism by any means.
but it would bring gladness to millions
of hearts that are now filled with
gloomy forebodings. We would like
to see it adopted by some political or
ganization. With good candidates
such Il ticket would poll 4 tremendous
vote.

which he sold some weeks ago for

Mr.. S. II. Lands was painfully
bruised and shaken up by a fall
from bike, in vicinity of Martins
burg, last Sunday. He was coast

For a short time he was uncon-
scious. A bike is something like a
mule-powerful un certain-and
while it cannot kick its rider behind
the ear, when in the saddle, yet it
can use rider as projectile, a la a
Is inch gun. The best way to ride
a wheel is to keep your mind stead
lily on that business, your eye on the
road, your hands on the handle bars
and your feet on the pedals, and you
can trust the balance to providence.

A Serious Fall.

On last Sunday evening Miss Jane
Harrison was sitting on the porch.
in front of Ter home, on West Burke
street, when in some manner she fell
from the porch to the street,
which is quite q distance. Some
passers by and neighbors came to
her assistance, and she was carried
in the house. Drs. Morrison and
Hedges were summoned and gave
her medical attention. She has
never recovered consciousness, and
it is not known whether she had a
sudden attack of sickness or wheth-
er she lost her balance and fell over
the porch. Her parents, who are
both inyalids, have the sympathy of
the community
We regret to add that since the
above was written Miss Harrison
died on Thursday night, without
at any time recovering conscious
