The third of the second series of Socialist
lectures under the auspices of the Socialist
Labor party took place at Labor or Assembly
hall yesterday afternoon. w. B. Hammond, OF
Minneapolis, was the lecturer, choosing for
his subject: New Trades Unionism." Dur
ing his talk he endeavored to show that In
order to be successful the trades unions of to-
day would have to affiliate with either the
Socialist Labor some other political party
to be successful. A general discussion fol-
lowed the lecture, which was INDUCED in by
several members of the party present. The
principal discussion was between John j.
Sliding and Mr.. Hammond, the former ia
voring the present trades unions.
Mr.. Hammond said: II think my friend has
misconstrued my idea, which is that the pres
ent trades labor unions must do something
for themselvA> and not rely the situation
of the times Is o. tier their condition.

Hoar. Firm Against Imperialism.

Senator Hoar has written letter to
former Senator Edmunds replying to
an invitation TO be present at II meeting
held to discuss the Philippine question.
Senator Hoar declines to attend because
he thinks that what he will have to say
on the Philippine question will be more
effective If said in his place in the Sen
ate than elsewhere. He adds:
s.I have not changed the opinion |
formed and expressed last wiht.r, ex.
cept that it has been confirmed and
strengthened by what has happened
since. II we had dealt with the people
of the Philippine Islands as We under
took to deal with the people OF CUBA,
whom we declared-and they certainly
had no better title-of right ought to
be free and independent; if instead Of
undertaking to buy them and then I'M
dertaking to subjugate them by force
we had assured them of our purpose TO
respect their rights, to protect them
against foreign interference, to AID
them to restore order and to leave
them, whenever they should desire, to
the blessings of freedom and of self
government. we should have had no
war. We should have had no loss Of
life. :.
I'VE should have had no large ex-
penditure of money. We should not
have trarnpled on the doctrines upon
which our institutions are founded.
We should not have contradicted the
pledges of our fathers. We should not
have dishonored our own great his
tory. We should not have incurred
the undying hatred of the people of the
Philippine Islands. We should have
received from their gratitude every
thing in the way of commercial advant-
age or advantage of military or naval
station that their gratitude would be-
stow. We should have the glory-with
which the glory of no other country IN
history could be comlpared-of being
the great liberator in both hemispheres.
Terrible mischief has already been
accomplished through the blunder Of
last winter treaty, but it is not too
late to retrace our steps. Congress
has not yet committed itself to the
policy of Imperialism. Still less are
the American people so committed.
1T is not too late to assure the
the people of the Philippine Islands
that we will not trample them under
foot or compel them to obey US against
their will that we will protect them
against foreign cupidity; that we will
aid them to restore order; that we will
help them in every way in our power to
establish for themselves such govern
ment as they may desire; that there
after our relations to them should be
only those of friends and equals. If
that were done peace could be restored
in an hour. Order and prosperity and
happiness would prevail instead of war
and devastation. The flag of the Unit
ed States, which it is sought to make
the symbol of conquest and oppression,
would be as it has ever been till now, a
symbol of liberty and of hope to all the
nations of the earth Withdrawn only
from territory over which it waves
without right. it would continue to
wave over that moral field over which
is its rightful supremacy and from
which it could never be hauled down.

Mr.. RemaeI's Argument.
From the Little Rock Gazette.


Hon. H. L. Remmel, vice chairman
of the Arkansas Republican state central
committee, when in Washington, d.
c.. looking after the distribution of
Federal plums to expectant members of
the q. .. p. in this state. spared enough
time from that laborions duty to pnt in
some licks against the Payne resolution
10 reduce the representation from the
Southern states in Republican national
conventions. The Payne resolution is II
dead issue now. having been Withdrawn
by its author. but in Arkansas the argu
lnent employed by Mr.. Remmel in his
fight against the resolution when il was
live issue will be read with smile by
the Democrats. In the Washington
Post of December IL Mr.. Remmel
delivered this ebullition:
1.-The South will make q most deter
mined effort TO defeat the Payne reso-
lutiDn. and | believe We will have sup
port from source that will cause
something or a surprise. 1t was Re-
publican administration that gave the
colored people their freedom and their
franchise. and it WAS by reason of the
colored vote that the states were brought
back in the Union under the reconstrue-
tion clsuse. BY legislative enactment
and by constitutional amendments nearly
ZOO, 900 eolored voters have been dis
franchised. The colorel man is as
naturally Republican as water rms
down hill. The racial sympathy be-
tween the eolored race is like the racial
sympathy existing between the Beers in
all parts of the country. and when it is
understood by the colored brothers in
the North that after the Republican
party has granted all privileges to the
race. and after they have been disfran
chised by the Democratic party they are
likewise to be disfranchised in the house
of their own people. it will rouse the
giant now slumbering.
A million in money could be raised
and the strongest representatives of the
colored race could be persuaded to go
into the Northern states. such as Ohio,
Indiana. Illinois, Kansas. Oregon and
election thrown In favor of Democracy.
To pass the resolution would surely
be disastrous TO the Republican party.
The feeling in the South is intense. 1t
is we'll known that the returns of Re
publican voters in the Southern states
do not actually indicate the full strength
of the vote. In those states where
qualification laws have been passed and
where the Democrats are in absolute
control. the nomination of Democratic
candidate is his election, as the only
thing remaining is for the party judges
to count him in. 1t is not infrequent in
other Southern states, for the returns
from district TO indicate large Demo
cratic majority, whereas, the actual
vote cast was largely Republican ma
jority.

Money in Sunflowers.

Mr.. T. d. Ruffin of McCrory Wood
ruff county, Ark. who has gained no
little fame by the successful cultivation
of the Russian sunfiower, says: Il See
by papers published in various places.
questions asked as TO how to cultivate
the Russian sunfiower. etc. In the first
place break thoroughly your land broad
cast. Plant seed with corn planter in
rows three feet apart, from twelve to
sixteen inches apart in the row. When
the plants are four or five inches high
plow thoroughly, throwing all the dirt
TO the plants they will stand without
covering them up. This is all the cult
walton they need. They will mature
ready for housing in sixty days from
time of planting. They may be planted
as soon as danger OF frost is sover-about
April 1 and on till the middle Of July.
A man, with good horse can cultivate
all the land he can break up and plant,
mp 10 that time.
The average yield is 500 pounds to
3 coo pounds TO the acre, according to
the fertility of land. A ready market
is found in st. Louis. Cincinnati and
Louisville. From the seed is manufac-
tured oil equal in quslity to olive oil. and
used in packing various articles of diet
and far exceeding in quality cotton seed
oil. II is also used in salads. The
seeds are fine for birds, chickens and
horses. The meal left. after the oil is
extracted. is fine for COWS, sheep. hogs.
