MARX ON PAllIATiVES.

AT the time and quite apart from
the general servitude in the wages
system. the working class ought not
to exaggerate TO themselves the ulti-
mate working OF these every day
struggles They ought not TO forget
that they are fighting with effects, but
not with the causes or these effects.
that they are retarding the downward
movement, but not changing its direc
tlon: that they are applying pallia-
tives, not curing the malady. They
ought, therefore, not to be exclusively
absorbed in these unavoidable gueril-
la fights necessarily SpTinging up
from the ever increasing cucroach-
ments OF capital or changes of the
market They ought 10 understand
that. with all the miserIeS 1t imposes
on them the present system stimuli

ditlons and social forms necessary for
an economic reconstruction of So

OUN's REVIEW.

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-R. G. Dun
C Cos weekly review OF trade tomor-
row will say:
With crops aGgregating large In
quantity and value, In spite OF tho
reduced yield of spring wheat, with
politics becoming so intense and un-
certain as TO make enterprise timid,
and with the railroads and shippers
engaged In q dispute over rates. the
business outlook is mixed, trade reac-
tlon being very plain in some impor-
tant directions while at the same
time there are streaks of progress and
activity. 1t is as a whole, waiting
situation with little TO encourage spec
ulative enterprise until conditions
now doubtful or unsettled become
more clearly defined.
Interest in steel and iron has cen
tered chiefly In predictions Of an
carly general reduction of prices on
finished steel products which nave
been freely discussed and the erect
has been dIsQuleting. Notwithstanding
denIaIs from well informed sources.
New business has diminished but aside
from railroad material, good produc-
ton continues in finished lines. Tho
wire trade reflected considerable ac-
tlvity. but demand for rails is not
brisk in the Plttsburg district.

absence of large stocks Of goods In

phrases are these. and satisfying to
some, but how do tney work out in
their application?
In the first place. 1t is well-known
fact that the A. +. Of l.. does not unite
the workers. Granting the Widest

membership, only minority of the
workers are organized,
The A. F. of l., as at present con

the Reserve Army of Labor. Hence

When IL comes 10 redemption Of
the workers from the bondage of in
dustrial slavery the words arc used
as so much clap trap. The a. F. OF l.,
far from abollshing Industrial slave
ry," is committed to the capitalist
systematic system of wage slavery.
1t promulgates the theory that the
capitalist and the worker are broth

be a strict partisan OF labor. Its poll
tics would logically have to be the
class conscious politics OF the work

II Is clear that no other politics
