with as little conjunction as a cham
pion OF the prize ring experiences wher
he sees his Opening" and administers
the "knock-out" blow which determines
the fate of his ill-starred fistic compel
itor.
Concentration, swift and irresistible,
is part-an inevitable part-of the
economic development. The individual
business man has long since been sup
planted by the firm, the firm by the
company, the company by the still more
powerful corporation, and latterly the
corporation has been swallowed up by
the trust. And this concentration not
only continues in spite of threat and
protest uttered by the thousands ruined
or menaced by it, but is steadily accel-
Grated as each revolution increases the
momentum OF train rushing downward
on a heavy grade.
mckinley thinks it isn't right and
Bryan is certain it ought to be stopped.
Why? Because evolution is crime?
No, because the victims are more nu-
merous than the benefciaries, and they
have votes.
This accounts for the opposition (?) of
Mckinley to the trusts; likewise that of
Croker The rapidly declining middle
class is still powerful; not nearly so
large as the working class, but very
much larger than the big capitalist class
and hence potential class i'll the con-
troll of elections.
Totally oblivious, seeming, OF the
plain and unmistakable trend of the
economic transformation in progress,
the middle class is easily made victims
of the illusion that, Joshua-like, the
politicians can halt, not only the sun,
but make the whole world stand still.
Concentration and cooperation are
supplanting division and competition.
Scattered small property is being alb
sorbed and concentrated in colossal en-
terprises. Every failure, every bank
ruptcy hastens the end. The property
less class grows large in inverse ratio.
"Here are some approximate esti-
mates
"Of our total population 6 per cent
are in the capital class, 10 per cent in
the middle class and IS per cent in the
working class.
"Of our nations wealth 50 per cent is
owned by the capitalist class, Is per
cent by the middle class and per cent
by the working class.
"The day of small production and
competition is passing, and the state of
society it developed is passing with it.
Socialism, the new (and destined to
be the controlling) force in the social
and economic progress Of mankind, is
evolving steadily from the existing cap
italist system, which has reached the
climax of its development and bears in
creasing signs of decline and decay.
Gone state OF society succeeds another
in the ceaseless process of evolution by
virtue OF which mankind reach higher
evolutions in the scale of being, and each
period is so distinctive, SO clearly marked
that it is readily distinguished from all
others which preceded or succeeded it.
''The present capitalist system was
quickened into life in the womb OF feud-
alism, and sprang from that system. In
its early stages it was received with ridi-
cule and contempt, and the incipient
capitalist was treated with the same
lofty scorn by the feuda baron and sub
iected to the same social ostracism that

The Farmer.

enjoy little of the advantages OF our
modern conditions. Hundreds of OPP
portunities for the improvement of the
mind and body are denied to the isolated
farmer class because Of their isolation
and poverty. Under the organized or
cooperative system the farmer would
enjoy all of the advantages OF higher
standard of living; he would have
all the enjoyments that organized ciyili-
cation can give to the nation. Socialism
would give to the farmer all the advant-
ages of travel, education, the lecture
hall, the stage and every healthy en-
joyment which only the capitalist can
obtain today. All very fine on paper,
you say, but how are we to do it?
Under socialism the farmer would
live in town--unless possibly some might
want to be hermits. The farmers in
each county or district would elect their
superintendent OF agriculture, foremen,
etc. Each and all would be interested
in producing the best OF everything
with an economy of labor power, be-
cause every one would have the incent-
i've to do this, from the fact that all
would be rewarded. The crops would
be shipped to the government ware
houses and cold storage buildings. Elec-
tricity would play most important part
in agriculture. The electric car would
transport the farmers from the town to
the fields, haul the produce to the ware
houses and the fertilizers to the fields.
By living in town and enjoying the So
ciety of his brothers, with the stage and
lecture hall and all the means OF educa-
ton for his enjoyment and expansion,
his condition would be SO greatly i'm
proved in every way that the "hayseed, =
as some impolite people call the farmer
today, would give place to to the well
educated and we'll dressed citizen farmer
of the organized commonwealth. In a
word the farmer could and would enjoy
all the advantages, all the pleasures and
all the conveniences of city life without
its present evil surroun lings. Please
ask yourself would you not be vastly
better off with such a life, or do you
prefer worry, hardship, the mortgage,
the long hours of toll and i'll reward for
labor done? Under the organized sys-
tenn the butter making, dishwashing,
cooking, washing, etc., would be largely
performed by machinery. Take the il
lustration Of clothes washing. In a
county containing 500 families, when
Monday morning comes there will be
500 wash tubs, 500 toiling housewives,
steaming up 500 houses with 500 fires,
etc. Uuder socialism dozen men with
the best machinery, in first-class mod
ern steam laundry, would perform the
labor of 500 women at much less eff
fort and an immense saving. Under
the cooperative, or organized system,
nearly all labor, both in town and on
the farms, would be performed by ma
chinery with electricity for the motive
power, and all under the superintend-
ence of officials who are under your di-
rect control and subject to your recall.
Under such system only those best
qualified and most fitted would be elect
ed to position of honor. Would not
this be thousand times better than our
present condition From "The Ameri-
can Farmer" by Gordon.

The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1901-07-04

The following is portion OF an article
written Tor the st. Louis Chronicle Of
September 8, 1900, by Eugene V. Debs,
social democratic candidate for president
at the last election, and as the principles
OF the social democrats do not change
with time, will still serve to outline the
position of socialists on modern prob
lens:
"The economic basis OF society is
changing more rapidly today than ever
before in human history, and as the
character OF society and all social insti-
tutions change unerringly to correspond
to their economic foundation, this is pre-
eminently an age OF social evolution.
In swift succession change follows
upon change in the mode of production
and distribution. Cheaper and cheaper
production, more rapid and still more
rapid methods Of communication and
transportation are demanded to supply
the worlds elusive and shifting markets
Everything must be done on gigan-
tie scale to be done successfully, or even
at all, for in the operation of the remorse-
less law OF competition the weak, the
aged, infirmed and all who lack the lat
est modern equipment, are driven from
the arena by the more powerful rivals

EATING FISH.

ond helping Of fish.
It is considered extremely bad form
to use n knife I'm dissectng fish.
A little modern fish knife. with an in
genious fork arrangement on one side,
is now made.
A bit Of lemon is served with broiled
and baked fish, and it Is In correct form

Potatoes are considered a proper ac-
cessory to the FISH course.
Sliced cucumbers, with plain French
dressing, are also served.
With a boiled fish the potatoes are
also usually boiled, cut into bits OF
scooped out and garnished with little
melted butter and chopped parsley.
Never use the fingers to separate the

The bones must be evaded with sucl

A VERY cuRloUSyelRD.
Tho One Young Mark Twain sprung
upon the Sctent.ists.

Mark Twain's father wss an ornithol-
ogist- He had several friends who
were also enthusiasts onI the subject Of
birds. Whenever any one OF them dis
covered rara avis it was the custom
TO have a consultation. Mark had been
a witness CT several OF these bird in
quests and had noted the delight the
old men took in discussing a new
found specimen. One day 1t occurred
to him to provide the Hannibal orni-
biologists with a real circus IN the
form of bird. He killed crowiand
also barnyard rooster. Plucking out
| the tail feathers Of both the crow and
the rooster, he substituted the ROSTERS
tail feathers for those Of the crow, pro-
ducing unique effect. When he had
the specimen nicely prepared, he went
to his father and, handing II to him,
said:
Here, father, is a very curiousi bird
1 shot. l thought you would be inter
ested in It,"
The old gentleman gazed upon the
specimen with establishment. Thai
evening the ornithologists of Hannibal
were assembled in Mr.. Clemens par
lor. The rare specimen was put before
them. The discussion was long ane
learned. The opinions expressed were
various. One thought the bird was az
offshoot of the bird Of paradise fam
lily; others had equally ridiculous no
tions as to its ancestry. But there wa

popularity Of the birds tail from tn

TROUBLE HAS ARISEN
AMONG THE BARRIERS

There is an uproar among the ten
cent BARRIERS. and. judging from facts
obtained from its hitherto enthusiastic
members, the BARRIERS Protective Union
is a dead thing The whole glst OF
the matter is that It is a protective
union in name only.
When the union was formed, board
of inspectors was appointed to see
that no flve-cent shops did business.
The ten-cent BARRIERS and the iive-cent
ones, who had raised the price, were
happy.
The union had not been in existence
long, when the ten-cent BARRIERS awokS
to the realization that five-cent shops
were fourishing, and that no inspectors
were trying to prevent them. Conse-
quently a big kick was put up on the
part OF the members, who were in
F. formed that as soon as another inspec
tor was appointed by the Board o
Health the flve-cent shops would cease
AS there were no prospects of sucl
an inspector being appointed, many
members left the union. More are leav
ing every day. and now scent shopl
lare springing up.
When seen to-day by a reporter fo
the Evening Journal, Arthur G.. Pres
ton, secretary OF the inspection board
said that ne was not we'll enough ac
quainted with the facts of the case Q
make a statement. but that he woul

Gambling.

The writer once spent a Saturday
afternoon in the study Of a dignitary of
the church while the ecclesiastic strug-
gled in vain to frame an argument
against gambling to be presented to the
congregation on the morrow. He aban-
doned the attempt. Ear be It from a
literary journal to assert powers the
possession Of which the professionally
religious are fain to disclaim, yet with
submission we even venture to believe
that at least one cogent and effective
argument lies against allforms Of gam
bling-one, namely, based on the truth
that wealth, great or small, is trust
and therefore may not be put In risk.
The moralist may declare that the
gambler gets. or at least wants TO get,
something for nothing. Men will laugh.
They know better. The winner gave
his chance TO lose for his winnings.
For his losses the winner got his
chance to wiz. But ask the speculator
whether he would gamble with trust
funds held by him for orphans and
then suggest to him the one great truth
that IS selling hold of mems conscience
the most hopeful sign in these perplex
ed days OF social unrest, that men are
trustees Of all that they call their own

Lie Insurnnce.

1t is an interesting fact that. what
ever the reason may be. life insurance
is much more popular in the United
States than in any other country. In
proportion to their numbers the Amer
lean people carry twice as much life
insurance as the Britishers, five times
as much ms the Germans and eight
times as much as the French.
This is partly explained by the large
number OF American policies issued to
serve other purposes than mere proyi'
sion for the families of the insured
The scope Of what may be called bust
ness as distinguished from family in
surance is constantly enlarging. A nov
el and interesting recent development
of it is the insurance of the lives OF
Protestant ministers for large sums
which are made payable at their death:
to their churches.-New York World.
