NOTHING SUCCEEDS LIKE SUCCESS

The pioneers in every movement be-
gun in the interest of humanity have
met opposition from all quarters in
Guiding those in whose behalf reform
was necessary. ~.
People as a rule are welded to GUS
tom and ARE slow to comprehend the
necessity for change. But once the re-
form idea becomes a fact none are so
loud in its praise, or so ready to avail
themselves of its advantages, or even
to credit themselves with having help.
ed to bring it about, as some who
from the beginning were it's opponents.
Ihe movement to abolish slavery in
this country illustrates this fact The
little band of anti-slavery agitators
were ridiculed and abused on all sides
for attempting to overthrow system
that was upheld by the Constitution,
sanctioned by the churches and en-
dorsed by the majority of the people.
But, in spite of opposition, the reform
idea prevailed, and today the abolition
of slavery is rightly regarded as the
great achievement in our history. No
one would now dare to advocate re-
turn to the old system.
So it has been with the ideas adj
vanced in the labor movement In the
various stages of its progress one re-
form after another have been secured
only through aggressive and persistent
agitation, yet no one would now sug-
render any of the ground gained. No
labor reform idea met with stronger
opposition than the one to reduce the

Millionaire Rockefeller's daughter,
when in Vienna recently, was asked by
ssa Anewspaper scribe it,, with her vast
wealth, she were happy. She answered
In the negative, and said that the poor
people were happier than the rich peo-
pie, because they knew nothing of the
Z burdens, cares and responsibilities that
wealth carried with them. The mission
sofgthe trade union movement is to allie
sSvtate these burdens and cares and re-
@spOnsibilities of the rich by distribut-
ing them more generally among the
poor who are yearning for them.

Among many things that union men

S9 Among many things that union men,
TO be consistent, should do are: Pur-
schase only union made goods; stand by
the label always; support the local la
paper, it is always the paper that can
mot be subsidized by capital; speak out
an the union meetings, it is better to
speak there than on the street corners;
give the officers of the union all the
support they are entitled to, and they
ARE entitled to the fullest possible sup
port so long as they act honestly and
stand up for the union
ain season and out Of season, be union
man always. There are many other
things that a union man might do, bat
Net him observe the above faithfully and
he will become a better trade unionisl
than most of those who today carry un-
lion cards in their pockets. .

LINCOLN ON LABOR.

In those documents we find the
abridgement of the existing right Of
suffrage, and the denial to the people
of all right to participate in the selec-
ton of public officers, except the legis-
lative, boldly advocated with labored
arguments to- prove that large control
source of all political evil: Monarchy
itself is sometimes limited at as possi-
BILE refuge from the power of the peo-
pie. In my present position, I could
scarcely be justified weretI to omit rails
ing warning voice against this ap-
preach of returning despotism. It is
not needed or fitting here that a gem
eral argument should. be made in favor
of the popular Institutions, but there is
Tie point, with its connections, not so
'ae kneyed as the other. to which I ask
= IF attention. It is the effort to place
asjtal on an equal footing, ii, not

'< laborers and thus induce them to

7th III and drive them to It without their
consent. Having proceeded SO for, it is
naturally concluded that all laborers
are either hired laborers or what we
call slaves. And further it is assumed
that whoever is once a hired laborer is
fixed in that condition for life. Now,
there is no such relation between capt.
tai and labor as that assumed, nor is
there any such a free man being fixed
for life in the condition of a hired la
borer. Labor is prior to and independ-
ent of capital. Capital is only the fruit
Of labor, and could never have existed
if labor had, not first existed. Labor is
the superior Of capital and deserves
much the highest consideration. No
men living are to be more trusted than
those Who toll up from poverty, none
less inclined to touch or take aughe
which they have not honestly earned.
Let them beware Of surrendering a po-
lltlcal power which they already pos
sess, and which when surrendered, will
surely be used to close the doors of adj
vancement against such as they, and

them till all their liberty shall be lost
