Government by conaues,

En-. JoURNAL:-lmperial despotism
and the power OF money are twin sisters,
sprung up from the same source. II is
strange but true that gold found by saw
ages and first used by them for orna-
ments has assembled throne Of power.
For over a thousand years tile powers
have controlled the poor laboring classes
who have been the victims Of conquest,
or by purchase or descendants of con
quered or purchased parents or debtors
paying tribute TO the goddess OF greed.
In ancient times, and In times not very
ancient, conquering chiefs by might
would invade weaker people and subdue
and destroy opposing forces. then lift up
their hands to heaven in thanksgiving
for the blessings OF victory They would
then hold the people as slaves, or as
tributaries as they saw fit, praising the
god OF might and saying he stood by
them and fought for them.
England is fighting to subdue two lit
tie republics. The United States, whose
government was founded on the princi-
pies OF no taxation without representa-
tion and government by the consent of
the governed, is fighting much weaker
republic to tax them as she pleases and
10 govern them without their consent.
While there is so much sympathy for the
two African republics there should be
some for the Asiatic republic. would
like TO know what is the difference in
these two mighty powers.

Chicago is building a big tunnel, on
which she has already spent million
and half. II was let to contract and
cost the city S75 to 500 foot. The con-
tractors threw il mp and the city had TO
do the work. II hired men by the day,
paid better wages and sherter hours, and
the report Of the city engineer Just
printed shows that the cost has been
only s25 a foot There you have the
two systems ON the same work. All
public work should be done without the
intervention Of the contractor. II is
done better, costs less and the con-
tractors influence in lobby is done away
with. Hundreds Of like instances could
be quoted, yet the people think the way
TO get the cheapest work is 10 have ii let
10 contract. That is why labor unions
oppose the contract system. They get
better pay and hours and il costs the
public less.
