Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1899-11-17

The Journal of the knights of Labor
and the American Federationist do not
look at trusts from the same stand
point Both no doubt mirror the senti-
ment Of the great majority of their
respective constituencies. The former,
in its current issue, substantially
summarizes pages of contents devoted
to the subject in this sentence: BUST
the trusts, or the trusts will bust the
country" The latter, in a brief edi-
torial, says: Organized labor looks
with apprehension at the many pana-
ceas and remedies offered by theorists
to curb the growth and development or
destroy the combinations of industry.
We have seen those who knew little or
statecraft and less of economics urge
the adoption of laws to regulate In
terstate commerce and laws to pre-
vent combinations and trusts, and we
have also seen that these measures,
when enacted, have been the very in
struments employed to deprive labor
Of the benefits of organized effort,
while at the same time they have
simply proven incentives to more
subtly and surely Intricate the wheels
of capitals combination.
"In the early days Of our modern
capitalist system, when the individual
employer was the rule under which in
dustry was conducted, the individual
workmen deemed themselves suffici-
emily capable to cope for their rights;
when industry developed and employ
ers formed companies, the working
men formed unions; when industry
concentrated into great combinations
the workingmen formed their national
and international unions, as employ
ments become trustifed, the toilers Or
ganized declarations of all unions
local, national and international
such as the American Federation or
Labor. We shall continue to organize
and federate the grand army of labor,
and with our notices, lesser hours OF
labor, higher wages, and an elevated
standard of life, we shall establish
equal and exact justice for all" The
one sees in aggregation and central
ization of industries deep-lald
scheme of a few to plumber the many;
the other a development that is as de-
sirable as it is inevitable, demanding
only concerted, intelligent action on
part of the many to secure for them
selves a just share of benefits accruing
therefrom. 1t is noteworthy that OF
late years the growth of the Federation
has altogether outdistanced any add
tons to the ranks of the other organ
ization.

Read these figures, which simply ex-
press the hard facts, and are absolute
'ly reliable, and teach them to your
children:
One-eighth of the people in the
United States own seven-eighths Of
the wealth of the country.
One per cent of the people own 55
per cent of the wealth.
Only two-hundredth of l per cent of
the people own 20 per cent Of the
wealth.
That is to say, that 1900 of 1 per
cent of all the people in this nation
have secured already 20 per cent of
all the wealth of the nation; that is,
this small numoer now own one-Quar-

Sarcasm.

Charles Dudley Warner, in reply to
the defense of Imperialism by Rev. DR..
Plumb, said:
81 feel great deal better since that
speech. l want to express my entire
concurrence. l was not till few min
utes ago convinced of the necessity OF
a great Christian people at the close OF
the nineteenth century going to war
for the spread of religion and for COM
mercial purposes. 1t is very solemn
thing to say, but there are plenty of
examples in history which will sus-
tain me. Mohammed was an illus
trious exemplar. l only want to add,
as a rider, Resolved, That we will
postpone the Christian religion to a
more convenient season"

Not the Whole Thing.

1t is depressing to note that the ex-
elusive partnership between the AL
mighty and the Republican party no
longer exists. We so infer from the
statement of Mr.. Alfred ]. Shepherd,
an English graduate to the Congre-
gational conference, who announces
that God has cast upon the Anglo
Saxon race the responsibility of gov
erning the world" The Republican
party is, therefore, only minority
ckhoider.-Chicago Chronicle.

but he cannot do 1t effectively. He
doesn't know the other man, and the
other man doesn't know him. He "
n civilian, not soldier, and frequent
ly has to deal with compact organiza-
tons when he tries to make good his
claim for higher wage, a shorter
workday, improved surroundings. He
may entreat, but cannot insist; he may
prefer petition, but dare not present
an ultimatum.

Suppose each voter in the United
States, before casting his ballot at each
election, should seriously ask himself
and seriously answer this question:
Am | now really about to vote, or
am l now really about to be voted by

steering hand upon my party's ma
chinery for the making of the ticket
am about to put In the ballot box?"
Would it lead to different results?-L

Old and New,


oh, sometimes CLEANS upon our sight,
Through present wrong, the eternal
right;
And step by step. since time began,
We see the steady gain of man.
That all of good the past hath had
Remains to make our own time glad.
Our common daily life divine,
And every land a Palestine.
Through the harsh noises of our day,
A low, sweet prelude finds its way;
Through clouds of doubt and creeds of
fear,
A light is breaking calm and clear.
Henceforth my heart shall sigh no more
For olden time and holer shore:
Gods love and blessing then and there,
Are now and here and everywhere.

If we have come to this terrible

their rights, and change the system.
And this change must come while

The regulation wardrobe for Sec
ond lieutenant of marines costs 5000.
His salary is $1,000 a year, besides
board and lodging. The American
workingman with patches on his
trousers and nine-dollars-a-week job
pays the salary and buys the uniforms.
And, il he votes for imperialism next
election he will deserve to continue
paying for it--and wearing patched
clothes.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Keep hammering away, even at the
risk of being deemed a victim OF
crotchets. For this is not an over-in-
telligent world.-John Fiske.
1t is sad to see our government
backing those whose avowed policy is
expansion, which, less politely ex-
pressed, means aggression, and for
which there is a still less polite word
which is readily guessed.-Herbert
Spencer.
I would not trade a single sentence
of the declaration of independence for
all the gold that could come from the
Philippines in a thousand years.
William ]. Bryan.
If there is anything that cannot bear
free thought, let it crack. wendell
Phillips.
To me it seems that neither the OBJ
tanning nor retaining of any trade
how valuable soever, is an object for
which men may justly spill each
others blood; that the true and sure
means of extending and securing COM
merce is the goodness and cheapness OF
commodities, and that the profit OF
no trade can ever be equal to the ex-
pense of compelling it and of holding
it by fleets and armies.-Benjamin
Franklin to Lord Howe, July 20, 1776.

THE REBELLsOUH TRAVELLER.

A Clergyman and an Editor were
walking together, when they espied
the Mayor of their Village sitting on a
Fence and holding an evil-looking
Club; while in the Distance Traveller
approached.
MY journalistic Instinct tells me"
said the Editor, that the Man on the
Fence is contemplating criminal Ag-
gression upon yonder Traveller"
I'm that Case" replied the Clergy
man, at is my Duty as a Teacher OF
Morality to persuade our Brother from
his evil Intention"
"Yes," said the Editor, land as l
also am a Conserver of Morals l will
aid you in your Task"
So they reasoned with their Fellow
villager on the Sinfulness of acquiring
Property by forcible Annexation, urg-
ing him to refrain from any violent
act. The Man on the Fence spoke
them fair; nevertheless, when the
Stranger came up, the Man on the
Fence rushed at him and knocked him
down.
The Traveller offered stubborn Re-
sistance, and the Clergyman and the
Editor watched the Combat. The
Editor was the first to speak. Clear
ly," said he, "it was our Duty to rea-
son with the Mayor so long as he only
contemplated the Robbery. But now
that he is attacked, we cannot permit
the Traveller to escape. In the eyes OF
the World the defeat of our Mayor
would dishonor u.s."
THE Lord be with us in Cur pa
triotic Efforts" said the Man of God.
LET us first sustain our Village Hon
or and after the Rebellious Traveller
has been Subdued, we may arrange
about the Disposition of his Effects"
Therefore, with one Accord, the
Guardians of Morality rushed into the
Fray, and sat on the Traveller while
the Mayor benevolently assimilated his
Purse. When last seen the Clergyman
was opening little Bible, to convert
the Traveller before the latter died OF
his wounds while the Editor dictated
a Scare Head for a special Edition;
and the Mayor paraded the Flag of the
Free.
