LABOR is HELPLESS.
1t Lacks the Unity and Leadership to
SuccessfuIIy Combat the Trusts.

Successfully Combat the Trusts.
Ed Boyce, president of the Western
Federation of Miners. and one of the
cIearest headed and most efficient Off
Gals of organized labor in the country,
was asked, How will labor meet the
swift and intense concentration of the
Industries in which il is accustomed to
look for employment? His reply was:
So far as the laboring masses are
concerned. they will take no initiatory
steps to solve the intense concentration
of the Industries in which they are ac-
customed to look for employment" be-
cause they have been taught to believe
that wealth, no matter how accumu-
lated, is superior to the individual
Were any move inaugurated by the
laboring people of the United States to
solve the question, and thus prevent
the onward march of trusts and COM
binations, which will in few years re-
duce them to slavery, % per cent Of
the daily papers, backed by money
and politicians, would attack them and
if necessary invoke the aid of the
courts and army to destroy the move
ment regardless of its legality.
Unfortunately for the downtrodden
Iaborer. he is helpless. He is his own
enemy, because be has listened to the
advice of officers who have been and
are in the pay of the moneyed
oligarchy to keep the laboring people
divided and create an imaginary aris-
tocracy of labor to fight and outvote
the other half
You might as well attempt to unite
fire and water as to attempt to bring
the officers of the various national Ia
Dor organizations into a conference to
determine upon a policy best calculat-
ed to protect the interests of those they
represent against the aggression of the
trust, because some of them are In
hearty accord with every act of the
trusts. Therefore nothing can be ex-
pected from the laboring people.
When the various trusts and monop-
olies crush the people beneath the bur
den Of oppression and drive the pro-
fessional and business classes into the |
ranks of labor or the unemployed and
the farmer suffers as he did in 1893 |
which will not be long. the people will. |

sources ard wealth of the nation and |

Mrs. Stetson's "WOmen and Econom-
les" a Work of Unusual Merit
Especial Correspondence.l
There is a new book which ought to
be read in cool. quiet places. From
heated offices. where critics are paid
for whiting readable things about
sure to be misinterpreted. women
and Economics; a Study of the Eco
nomic Relations Between Men and
Women as a Factor n Social Evolu-
ton" is by Charlotte Perkins Stetson,
published by Small Maynard IL Co..
Of Harriet Beecher Stowe and a niece
Of Edward Everett Hale.
No reviewer can tell the story of this

than those chosen by the author.
Out of Darwin's Descent of Man."
which tore down and rebuilt the foun-
dations of the worlds philosophy, one
idea was distorted and mockingly pass
ed about by busy little orators who
hadn't time to read the book. But So
Der people who read Darwin's books
did not undertake to reproduce them
with a few careless remarks. They
said: "a great work has been accom-
plished. We can convey little idea Of
Me numberless facts found, of the pro-
found thought, of the simple, perfect
style of expression, of this great calm,
patient work" Something like this
should be said of this new work on
sociology.
A friendly magazine notice says that
this is the nearest approach to Herbert
Spencer that a woman has made. To
be compared in any way to 1.-The great
est living scientist may seem high
praise.
Other women in the woman's move
ment. men in the labor movement and
educators of children have made dis
coveries that are here used. Darwin
and his followers have helped, Darwin
having introduced the scientific habit
of thought; but in its main theory, in
it's arrangement of details, in brilliancy
of illustration and remarkable power
of generalization. the book is fresh and
original. The peculiar economic move
ment of women. the lowest laborers, is
interpreted and justified, allied move
shown to be inevitable and the ulti-
mate good of it all is fully proved.
The book is a cheering book, for
the author does not, like Tolstoi, urge
the essential sinfulness of the world
and that individuals come out of II into
ways that are difficult to walk in. The
columns of men and women at the
front advance because they must; to
retreat would be pain and confusion.
and they feel the strong support of
sympathetic comrades and a sure sense
of ultimate victory as they read Mrs.
Stetson's book.
THE book is written" says the
preface, "to point out how far we have
already gone in the path of improve
ment. and how irresistibly the social
forces of today are compelling us
further. even without our knowledge
and against our violent opposition, an
advance which may be greatly quicken
ed by our recognition and assistance"

other lung disorders caused by the cor

Then the labor unions appeared on
| the scene and compelled the legislature
to pass a law requiring the men to be
protected by vestibules-
The social disorder which has existed
in Cleveland cannot in any way be
blamed upon the strikers. 1t is the in
| evitabIe result of allowing our cities to
be used for the profit of private cor
porations.
Almost every evil that curses society
can be traced directly to the fact that
we are living under n social system
which is unfair, dishonest and oppres-
sive. All of our business. reduced to
Its last analysis. is simply warfare. 1t
is the striving of the cunning and the
strong TO SO order their lives that they
may live in idleness and luxury by the
toll of others.
Honest. legitimate business is becom-
ing n myth IF days gone by. If the
laws against gambling were strictly en-
forced. business would be brought to a
standstill.
What is there in IT for me?' is the
question asked by the business man
tnd the burglar. The whole profit sys-
tenn is simply a respectable method Of
larceny.
Our civilization has become so COM
pick and highly organized that it will
not stand the rude shocks that are in
separable from competitive system.
We have tried to build up a nation
on competitive lines, and this strike in
Cleveland is only one proof out Of thou
sands that we have failed.
EVERY man for HIMSELF is q motto
which originated in the dead centuries
of war and hate. 1t is as barbarous as
the thumb screw and the rack. 1t
might appropriately be written in the
museums above the war clubs and
spears and stone axes of prehistoric
times, but it has no place in civilized
community.
1 honor the labor unions because they
are more or less consciously fighting
against a social system that makes
property more valuable than people.
Their members are the rough pioneers
who are preparing the way for a no.
bier civilization, when peace and good
will shall prevail in business. They
are doing larger and more important
work than they realize.
The labor question is larger than the
trade union programme. 1t means
more than the raising OF wages and
shortening of hours. 1t means more
than profit sharing. Direct legislation
and single tax and free silver do not
touch the heart of it. 1t means the es-
adjustment of national copartnership.
Whether the men win or lose in the
end, we shall have learned a valuable
lesson by their costly sacrifice, and it
is a comfUrt. at least. to know that if
these unfortunate men lose their jobs
no job is lost in the aggregate. The
present vicious system of industry is
always certain to supply a surplus Of
the proletarian class who have nothing
but their hands and their labor to sell
Thank God, the signs of the better day
are plentiful and abundant. We are
now in the beginning of the better
civilization that is to lead us into the
time when the interest of all shall sing
us to our work into the establishment
of n state whose basis shall be love
and whose name shall be the co-opera-
tive commonwealth.-S. NJ. Jones in
New York Journal.

citizens OF Louisville met at Music Hall to-
night to offer their protest in speech
and resolution against tho action OF the
French Army officers for their inhuman
treatment OF Capt. Dreyfus. The meeting
was enthusiastic throughout and some Of the
most prominent men in the city were among tho
speakers. A resolution was passed denouncing
the French Army and the republic. A copy ofths
resolutions will at once be forwarded to
Nine. Dreyfus A private collection among
the promoters Of the meeting was taken up
after the meeting adjourned.
One Of tho principal speaker was the Rev. T.
T. Eaton one Of the most prominent Baptist
ministers in tho State. In his remarks he said
that the ourt-martial represented the French
Army and not the whole of France. but
that II the Court Of Cessation. which 10
