BY Rev. r. A. White. OF Chicaa

repugnant to our American spirit.
The man who must obey the law
ought to have something to say about
making the law. The man who pays
taxes ought to have something to say
about their distribution. These are two
fundamental American propositions. To
abandon them is to reverse our noblest

TRADES UNIONISM AND ITS PERIL.
BY Clarence S. Darrow. of Chicago

Many men who have been organized

strument of power. Trades unionism
Of to-day, which, with its army Of

BILE, may dissolve as quickly as the old
Knights Of Labor or other movements
that have passed away. 1t owes its ex-

that support cannot last or accomplish
any objects. 1t will dissolve unless 1t
becomes identified with some great
