CHINESE EAR-CLEANERS.
How They Transact Business i'm the
Streets of Manila.

From the Manila Up. - Freedom.
In this old city of strange and unusual
sights there is probably nothing that ap-
pears so strange at first sight to the
Americans as the Chinese ear-cleaner pur-
suing his calling on the street corners.
The Chinaman so engaged is provided with
a stool and a small bamboo case, in which
are inclosed his instruments.
The Filipino is just as sure of having his
ears cleaned ON Sunday as an American IS
of having a shave.> and In the by streets
and aleyways they line up for all the
world like a barber shop on Sunday morn

man can't say Next"
First of all. the Chinaman takes a ra-

We want to keep in toach with our
readers so that each one will feel like
extending our circulation. We lack
considerable of having a completely
equipped office, such as will enable us
to get the paper out at the lowest
possible cost, but can handle the few
thousand additional subscribers which
will justify us in putting in the neces-
sary material and machinery. You,
and each of you, as the legal docu-
ments say, are earnestly requested to
see that we get them.
Unless you wish to keep file of this
paper give it to your neighbor wheu
you have read it. Ask him to read it
and subscribe. When you have got
him, turn your attention to another.
Oregon now heads the list of states
in subscriptions, to Industrial Free
dom, owing in no small degree to the
vigorous canvass of Mr.. Klamroth.
Washington is a good second and

WHAT MAKES SOCIALISTS.

Now that the municipal election of
1898 has passed into history those
who profess horror of Socialistic
teachings may with advantage to
themselves and benefit to the COM
nunity study the election returns
with anxious solicitude. They will
find therein food for thought. The
vote of yesterday means far more than
the bare figures indicate. 1t comes as
a solemn warning that the people are
dissatisfied with conditions which
make for their political degradation;
that they have grown impatient of
low wages and lack of employment
and may be counted upon in the
future to act Independently of all po-
litical parties unless there be a change
both of methods and of men in the
legislative chambers of nation, state
and city. Is it any wonder these peo-
pie have lost confidence in the honesty
of those chosen to direct their affairs
when they see piling up on every side
immense aggregations of wealth
which is used to control the necessit-
les of life, while their daily wage grows
smaller? Today one hears of a gigan-
tic flour combine with a capital of
$3.50, 100000 which is meant to
crush out all competition. Tomorrow
it will be some other essential to the
existence of the people that will come
within the ever broadening influence
of the monopolists.
Those who believe in municipal
ownership of such things as gas,
electric and water companies find,
when they go to the legislature for an
act permitting cities and towns to
control their own plants, that the
mOnopolists have been there before
them and SO arranged matters that
necessitate the expenditure Of vast
sums of money. And so the thing
goes along year after year with no re-
lief outside of independent political
action.
Every time a Republican majority
enacts one of these inequitable corpor-
ation-favoring pieces of legislation it
but adds fuel to the fame of popular
discomfort. Every time man of
small calibre is chosen to represent the
voters a substantial contribution is
made to the feeling of unrest which
prevails. Certain it is that the limit
of patient endurance has about been
reached.
The choice is still an open one.
Either we must have more equitable
laws or more enthusiastically
Gazette.
No one can reasonably expect more
equitable laws until we have more
Socialists. Socialism means better
and more equitable laws.
Tyrannical and oppressive laws will
make Socialists, and Socialists will
give us justice so soon as they possess
the balance of power Few really
doubt this.

We are now told that the workers
of America are better off than those
of an, other land, by which it may be
inferred that they are expected to
quietly submit to the plundering
schemes of the captains of industry
until such times as the toilers' condi-
tons in America is as bad or worse
than in Europe,
The laborers of America will not
dispute that the toilers of Europe
are greatly distressed and severely
robbed, but they insist that this is not
a sufficient reason for submitting to
injustice in America.
