Human Nature VS.. Socialism.

To the anti-socialist, or unconverted,
the aim of the socialist labor party,
namely the establishment and success
of the cooperative common wealth. is an
utter impossibility, being too dreamy, y
'impracticap and ''idealistic'' that it is
a thousand years distant, becau Sc
people today are not able and ripe to
make it successful, thereby acknowl-
edging their own inability. Although
unconsciously, or. otherwise admitting
it's scientific correctness, the approach,
and its inevitable triumph, as last re-
sort, object to it's "too soon" character
and that 'you can't change human
nature" ~
Regarding the first objection no
thinking person after due and proper
considerable investigation of daily hap:
penings, and of various statistics per-
tanning to the existing social system, it's
present workings, natural fruits, it's de-
velopments and it's inevitable downfall,
will deny it's rottenness, which if longer
tolerated will drive us into deeper
depths Of degradation, confusion and
hopelessness. Divers patent medicine
has been offered by "reformers,'' phil
anthropists, etc.; and in spite of the
church which has existed 1000 years.,
we find the vast mass of people, l. 9.
the working suffering far worse
conditions than ever. And what is
more, the future seems hopeless puz-
zle! Many patent medicine fakes are
set forth as the only salvation.
"Bust the money power!' Dust the
trusts" "Free silver" Protection"
"Free trade!" *'Savings banks!" "Stop
the immigation,' ETC., etc., but above all
the uproarious din, confusion, and clash
Of arms, welded by Performers" the
clear voice of the socialist labor party
rises, uncompromisingly, uncondition-
ally, demanding the abolition and
'sw coping away forever of the competi
tive system and it's twin sister-wage
slavery!
Here we have an army of wage slaves
in a fierce, crazy struggle, undertaking
each other, unwillingly STOPPING to
criminal action to obtain what? The
necessities of life! The struggle is in
tensifed by labor-saving machinery!
Women are compelled to seek sweat
shops and factory hells! Result:
Prostitution! Children taken from
school, robbed of an education, driven
into department stores and factories, for
what? To help the family from starva-
ton! And surrounded by general
confusion of failures, labor troubles
Hazeltons, bankruptcy, suicides, beg

In the Grip of King storm.

What was undoubtedly the worst
snow storm Michigan has experienced
in several years swept over the south
eastern portion of the state on its way
west from New York, Ohio and through
Canada. Probably the greatest dam
age was caused by the destruction of
telegraph and telephone connections
and the delay of trains, many of the
latter becoming stalled. At Detroit
street railway business was paralyzed
and over 5000 telephones rendered
useless. Telegraphic communication
was cut off from the entire outside
world.

The American Farmer is sincere in
what it says and whenever it endorses
an article, be it machinery, proprietary
medicine, or a man individually, we
want our readers TO believe that what
we say we have good reason to under
stand is true. For year or more
there have been endorsements of the
Swanson Rheumatic Cure Company, Of
167 Dearborn street, Chicago, by this
paper. People have written us to
know II this company is responsible,
and II its remarkable remedies, for the
cure OF rheumatism, neuralgia, dyspep-
STA, catarrh, kidney troubles, ETC., real
ly had merit. We have therefore been
at extra pains to investigate, and once
again we add emphasis to our former
endorsement Of that company. There
may be isolated cases here and there
which, probably through neglect in fol-
lowing directions, or from exposure or
some unexplainable reason, the won
derful Five Drops remedy does not do
the work. But 1t is a case where the
exception proves the rule. Mr.. Swan
son Is gentleman Of character and
personal integrity, and, we believe,
would no more attempt to deceive the
public than the writer of this article.

When the annual reunion of the
G.. A. II. is held, Michigan is always
well represented. Around the camp
fires of the encampment our boys tell
of the hardships they have gone
through and the listener who knows
nothing of war will wonder how they
lived to tell the tale. Few men who
followed old glory and escaped the
shot and shell returned home without
some legacy as a constant reminder OF
their war days. Our representative
found veteran o. +. Newcomb, of De-
troit, at his place of residence, No. 237
Second street. Mr.. Newcomb told him
how the little conqueror had rendered
him invaluable service. We give his
account here and some words of advice
tersely told. He said:
"a lake covering about two acres in
extent, containing the dead bodies OF
90 mules, is not tempting water to
drink, but / was one of many who
drank it, and all of us would have done
so if we had known there was death in
every swallow. This illustrates but
one of the many hardships and priva-
tions passed through during the civil
war, and it is no wonder that u. "A. H..
men suffer from aches and pains. The
most prevalent of these being due to
kidney disorders. / am pleased to note
great many others who passed through
as trying ordeals as l, have now learned
how these troubles can be mitigated.

rience but from observation. To all

U. p. Pine Forests Disappearing.

LAUNDERING will be an exceedingly

There are 500 men employed in the

year are the highest they have been
since the panic. LAUNDERING operations
which will be carried on in Alger, Luce
and Schoolcraft counties will be the
largest in the history of the region.
1t is estimated by old time lumbermen
that the output in those counties will

About Sugar Beet Contracts.

Land Commissioner French, who is
charged with the enforcement of the
beet sugar law passed by the legisla-
ture of 1897, finds that contracts which
parties are making with the farmers of
Monroe and Oakland and adjoining
counties, for the growing of sugar
beets, are not according to that law,
which offers a bounty of one cent a
pound upon all sugar manufactured
in Michigan from beets grown in the
state. That law provides that 1.-The
manufacturer shall produce good and
sufficient receipts and vouchers to
show that at least 81 per ton of 1000
pounds has actually been paid for all
beets purchased, containing IL per cent
of sugar, and "a sum proportionate to
that amount for all beets containing a
greater or less per cent of sugar" The
law makes no discrimination as to the
co-efficient purity of beets. The same
price is paid for beets with co-cffi-
cient of purity of 70 as for those of
purity of SIS, should the per cent of sugar
be the same but prices set forth in the
CohtrdCt spohcH VI are Oh d pdsiS ol
coefficient purity and are much less
than the price required by law, and
the state will not pay any bounty
upon sugar manufactured from beets
secured under such n contract and paid
for accordingly. This contract also
provides that farmers must accept the
tests Of the factory expert as final, but
the law says that the state land com
missioner shall appoint suitable weigh
men and inspectors and assistants.
