HOME PATRONAGE.

The movement for home patron

Argus means much for the interests
of our home merchants. 1t is for
the purpose Of instilling into the
minds of our citizens that the
dollar spent with home merchants
Is kept in circulation in Charles
ton and all share the benefits.
This dollar builds the churches,
maintains the schools, and paves
the streets. Send these dollars
away to outside merchants, cata-
logue houses, ETC., and local pros
perty shrinks. The idea is spend
your dollars at home, and with
the merchants who are co-operat-
ing In this movement. Show your
loyalty to Charleston, speak well
OF the institutions we have, en-
courage home industries, demand
union label goods, and let's all
pull together. With wage-earner
and merchant in unison city

porous and the avenue of endeay.
or is made easy, Home patronage
enllsts the cooperation of all.

PROTECT THE TOILERS.

The coming session of the legis-
lature is going to cost a whole
pile OF money, and the wage
earners of the state will have to
shoulder the burden of expenses.
The measures that labor will ask
may appear very dimunitive when
compared to whether few new
political offices may be established
De legislation or not. But to the
bereaved women, the manned man,
the pitiful children, the Employers,
Llbillty Act will be more of a
real blessing than tax regulation,
creation of political plums and
prohibition.
The law may wiring some growls
and some dollars from tho carless
and constituencies employers, but
it largely lifts that dull weight
from the woman's heart as she
fixes the lunch basked for the man
who must of necessity go forth and
toll for the daily bread.
This is matter that should
not be overshadowed by any issue.
and if the taxpayers have to
shoulder heavy burden, let's
Tighten it some by giving the
masses something they really want
and need.

TRADE UNION OBLIGATION,

The obligation administered by
the different unions of this country
to their members vary but little;
in substance they are practically
alike.
They all specifically state that
the union will not interfere with
mans political or religious belief,
and only provide that Il man shall
not be member of some other
organization that is antagonistic to
the union.
First Of all unions are business
institutions. Fraternal features
are very strong in many-liberal
sick and death benefits paid.
Primarily, however, unions are
formed for the protection of the
workingmen against wage reduc
tlons, to secure better working
conditions and to maintain such
conditions rs may be obtained.
Every obligation pledges the
member to abide by the will of the
majority when Il vote is taken on
any subject. The members are
pledged to assist one another, and
never to wrong i brother member
or permit him to be wrCnged.
This obligation is binding so
long rs life may exist.
Every feature of the obligation
is elevating. Scrutinized us they
have been b. the sharpest critics.
not one obligation has been found
which could be said to do ought
than make for better life.
Sorry, indeed, is the man who
breaks his obligation. Some do, we
must admit, out never without
living to regret-not because of
any action of the union injured,
out ones own conscience for what.
ever 1T might have been that
prompted the violation the man
knows he has injured an organi
cation that is eternally working for
better conditions for the producers
of this country.

The trusts rule by the power CT
the dollar. 1t is seldom you hear
a real trust magnate defend trusts.
He knows better how to work out
his ends. His money talks. He
hires lawyers and other agents and
pays them dollars to talk, and
they talk for dollars and are
as anxious to get the trust dollars
wrung from the sweat and blood of
the great mass of the people as are
the trust magnates to wiring out
the dollars. So when you hear a
man or see newspaper article
boosting the capitalistic trust and
scoring what he calls the labor
trust, you can make up your mind
that he is not talking for his health
but for the dollars there is in it for
him.

WHAT TRADE UNIONISM IS.

The trade union is a practical
business organization of working
men. 1t recognizes that under
the present Industrial system CAPT
tai and labor are both necessary
for the promotion and maintenance
of industry. Labor cannot do
without capital, and surely capital
cannot dispense with labor. One
is correlative to the other. This
being true, then both are and
ought to be partners in industry,
and both are entitled to a Just
share..of their correlative earnings
Capital is assured Of it's share in
profits, and labor ought to have a
similar assurance to wages.
The perpleXing question is not
only how to effect all equitable adj
justment between the two, but who
is to do it? While the trade union
plan may not be solution of the
many intricate..issues involved, it at
least proposes to effect agreements
that will bring about a settled
condition Of affairs to measur-
able adjustment of the problem.
If organized labor of West Vir-
glnla talters and is beaten in its
fight for legislation for the pro.
lection of the wealth producers, it's
feeble rapping at the legislative
doors henceforth will bring no
sympathetic response from within,
and swift and effective measures
will be taken to stop the wage
Garner of the last vestige of his
constitutional right by the corpo-
ration owned Judges and their
allies, the "guards' and their
masters.
Union men rally to the support
OF the State Federation of Labor
in its fight for just and sane laws
for the protection of the masses
against the heartless and soulless
corporations who seem to own the
state and ali the government and
judicial departments. Now is the
time for action to uproot peonaee
and chattel slavery.

TO CONGRESS
CONTINUED from page ~


United States and the islands. 1t is
drawn with a view of preserving the
island as much customs revenues as
possible and to protect a reasonable
measure of those industries now ex.
istlng in the islands. The bill now
transmitted has been drawn by tariff
experts of which the insular collector
of customs, Col. George R. Cotton, is
the president. The board held great
many in Manila, and confined
fully with representatives of all the
business interests of the islands. 1t
is OF great Importance to the welfare
OF the islands that the bill should pass
at the same time as the pending Payne
bill, with special reference to the pro-
visions of which it is prepared 1t is
respectfully recommended that this
bill be enacted at the present session
OF congress as one incidental to. and
required by the passage of the Payne
bill"
In a letter to the president, Secre-
tary Dickinson admits his own unfa.
miliarity with the subject but trans
mits recommendations from General
Edwards of the chief bureau of insular
affairs. Edwards points out that free
admission of American goods of the
islands will revolutize business I'M
less the policy is followed by various
changes in the Philippine tariff.
