SOCIALISM.

People should not confound
socialism with nihilism or an
archy. The latter would tear
down. Socialism on the con-
trary would build up. Socialism
endeavors to benefit the social
condition of all. It first en-
deavors to find employment for
every person at good compensa-
ton. It would then so shorten
the hours as labor-saving ma
chinery came forward, as to
give all workers abundance of
time for intellectual and moral
improvement. Socialism seeks
the means of improving man
kind. It would accept of any
means whereby the condition
of the masses may be improved,
1t sees in the public school, the
police department and the pos
tai system, and the municipal
ownership of water, heating
lighting, railways and street
improvements the dawning OF
astime coming when every per.
son willing to work may have
support. Many advanced think
ers believe the millenial days
will come through socialism.

First of Next NAV.

Organization of labor unions should
go forward as rapidly as possible and
instruction be given to all persons, en-
ployers as we'll as workmen, as to the
importance of shortening daily working
time to eight hours, in order that every
person may have employment, earn
wages and be able to buy and consume.
This is desired by workingmen and is in
the interest of all individual employers
and corporations. Having organized, let
uniform action be taken to introduce
the eight hour day in all lines of manu-
featuring on the first day Of May, 1899.

Social gatherings, amusing entertain

THE GOVERNMENT AND BANKS.

In a recent speech one of our
candidates for congress assert
ed that the government would
never conduct the banking bus
mess of the country. The gen
tleman forgets how rapidly we
have progressed toward govern
ernent ownership in financial
affairs in the past thirty-eight
years. In 1860 bankers made
their own bank bills and a large
share of Indebtedness was paid
by drafts purshased at the
banks.
At that time there was no
certainty that the paper money
of the day would be worth any
thing on the morrow, and bank
failures were even more COM
mon than they are at the pres
ent time. A great improve
ment in monetary affairs has
taken place in proportion as we
have approached government
ownership. Paper money made
bv government is as good as
gold to-day. Banks are regu-
larly inspected by government
employees and many bank fail
ures averted. Money sent from
one portion of the country to
another goes by the postal
money order, the bank draft
being almost entirely a thing
of the past.
It is plainly evident that we
will never go back to former
conditions in financial affairs.
It It's equally certain that we will
go forward as fast as people be-
come educated to the idea that

These two men are known to
the public only as financiers.
They have never given any evil
dence of possessing the slight
est regard for the general wei
fare.
They have never, like Car
negie, endowed any libraries;
or like Rockefeller, maintained
any universities.
They have invented nothing,
written nothing, created moth

They consider the American

Our railways are to the pa-
ton what the veins and arteries
are to the body, and in a year
or so more all these veins and
arteries will be owned by two
tiny atoms of the body.
Do you wonder that so many
people are coming over to the
Socialist belief, that it is better
for the people to own. and op-
crate the railroads, than for the
railroads to own and operate
the people?
But I believe in giving the
devil his DUE" These monopo-
lists are only doing what will
some time be useful work.
They are destroying competi-
ton, with it's wastefu1ness and
strife.
They are organizing a great
national system of railroads.
They are changing the rail
wav system so that It will re-
semble the postal system.
When their task is accom-
plished our task will begin.
Their duty is to destroy COM
petition, and our duty is to de-
stroy private monopoly.
If we do our task as we'll as
they are doing theirs, all will be
we'll with us.
They are building up a CO.
operative individua1-wealth,
and we are to change it into
a cooperative commonwealth.
If these monopolists knew
the final result of their work,
they would not be in such a
hurry.-Coming Nation.

if bankers can successfully con-
duct business for their few
stockholders they can do so for
the entire community. To do
this they have only to pass into
the employ of the government,
give bond as do the county
treasurer and the city collector,
and thus make banks absolute
ly safe, stop bank failures,
financial panics, and bring an
era of continual prosperity.

grow up to be such ministering angel
to thousands in real suffering always
pulled her babies through their worst
attacks. One night youthful Miss Flor
ence assured her nurse she could not
possibly go to bed since a feverish rag
baby would need to be watched every
hour. It was only when both nurse and
mother assured the little girl that one
Of them would sit right beside the in
valid that Florence consented to go to
bed. Once or twice. thinking the child
was fast asleep, the nurse attempted to
leave her post, but Florence was awake
in an instant. At midnight a second
effort was made to desert the sufferer,
but the child awoke again, and in the
end the nurse was obliged to remain be-
side the dolls bed until Miss Nightin-
gale was up.
