HAS KICK COMING
CContributed.)

The republican managers are now
busy attempting to reach the voters
and convince them that the Infamous
Aldrich-Payne tariff law is really a
good thing and to do this are sending
out the speeches of the stand-pat con-
gressmen-to do this they are using
the congressional franks, using the
mails for political purposes. Each
congressman has the right to send
his own speeches through the mails,
free but not one made by some one
else. But to reach the people they
are willing to violate the law. They
are sending out the speech of Con-
gresham Longworth made not in
congress but before the League of
April 8. 1910, and are using the frank
Republican clubs at Washington
of that notorious stand-patter VIM.
b. Mckinley. They have the same
right to send out speeches made by
Longworth in Ohio or Iowa; but II is
hardly possible the present Postmast-
er General who received his job for
political services will stop the prac-

Maid to members on each shilIing's worth
of trade.
The plan did two things: It put a prem
MUM, not on shareholding, but Oil trad
ing in the store: and it furnished pre-
cisely the trap that was needed Tor snar-
ing new members. Anybody could go 10
the store and buy goods for the regular
prices of any shop, and when the half year
was out he would find that the store was
ready to pay him back money n nara
shillings and pence. Every time he or ms
wife looked at that money they would teli
themselves that il would have been twice
as much if he had been member or the
store. If he could not save the price OF a
share he could become member by simply
leaving his bonus in the store until II ne
mounted up 10 the required 70.
First the Rochdale pioneers bought q
sack of flour and divided it at cost price.
Then they set up their store in Toad Lane.
The capital was gathered by assessing
each Of the subscribers twopence Gour
cents week until the esta bliShment was
well under way. The word store" was
imported from America to describe tbs
new kind Of buying place, where almost
anything could be had. The shops" OF
the neighborhood were more limited in
their range.
New-York tribune., 1910-12-18

The first year the store made no profit
ar all The second, the membership
jumped from twenty-eight to seventy-four;
the paid capital was ES1, or about S9'to;
the trade amounted to $3.50, and the pront
was SlO. From that day to this the Rocn-
dale store has grown in membership, cap
ital and trade, with every single year. 'N-
cept the disa strous times of the American
Civil War. wnen the cotton famine drove

thing about cooperative stores is tnat they
thrive on hard times, and II well managed
do not grow thin even in prosperity IN
1870 the store. still confined to the town of
Rochdale, had S.S92 members, ana dlo
business not far from 81 l00O,000 for the year
And at the same time rival cooperative
store in the same town had membership
of nearly nine thousand
From the first the Rochdale men set aside
21b per cent of the net profit for an educa-
ton fund. This practice they have kept
up ever since. The money goes to equip
a reading room and library in the store
and to provide entertainments. This is a
detail More important is the fact that
after a few years the store extended the
cooperative idea to the men in its service.
It's clerks and managers receive a salary
which is the same as that which is received
by other meE in the same calling, the reg
ular market price for the work Iheil, at
the half-yearly sharing of the proflts, the
servers are counted in as if their regular
wages represented purchases from the
store, and they receive the same percent
age on them as the members receive on
their purchases.
Hardly was the Pochdale store well under
way when other stores on the same piali
began to spring up. By 1855 the Rochdale
men had so much capital that they tried
their hand at cooperative production, rent
ing room and setting up few cotton
looms The workmen were hired at the
prevailing wages. and in addition to thelr
pay they received a share OF the proIts

Of industry that is in need of workmen.
The privilege would always have to he so
safeguarded that those desiring the labor
should be obliged TO satisfy some govern
ment board that the labor was needed and
could not be obtained in this country, that
the prevailing rate of wages in that indus
try would be paid and that continuous
employment would be provided. 1t would
be a shame to bring ten thousand Iarm
lab0rers here for only three months work.
THE economic problem which confronts
us at the present time said Senator Dill
Iingham, lis the result of the enormously
large immigration during the last twelve
years, extending from 1898 to 1870 during
which period the industrial expansion or
the United States has by far exceeded t44at
of any previous decade. During this period
we have received 9555.OG0 immigrants, of
which 25500O0, or about 365 per cent of
the whole came from northern and western
Europe and was largely made up OF Eng
lish. Irish Germans and Scandinavians,
while about 63.5 per cent-nearly two
thirds of the Whole-Came from south east
ern Europe-from Italy. Austria Hungary
and Russia more largely Or-to include a
larger period-in the SiXty-two years, eX-
tending from 1870 to 1852, we admitted ABOUT
II $50 900 aliens, a great proportion or Whom
came from the countries of northern ana
western Europe. But during the period OF
twenty-eeven years extending from 1882 10
1909 100000 have been admitted, more
than half of whom came from Italy. Aus
tria-Hungary, Russia and the Balkan
states.
The differences in these two classes Is
Indicated by the fact that Of the hrst-
those from Northern and Western Europe
about 58.5 per cent were males ana 80
per cent females, while OF those coming
from Southeastern Europe. about $50 per
cent were males and only 26-o per cent
females Assuming that all of these
females are wives, the fact remains 'ha'
no,,I,- one-half Of all the males coming
from that part Of Europe last Heh'ioiieu
are single. and that fact indicates that they
came IL the United States not so much
with the intention of remaining perman-
entity and making homes, as to better their
immediate condition and return to their
former homes.
"Of the old class-the Northern ana west
ern Europeans-ony 23.S per cent We're
farm and common laborers, While CT the
latter class-the Southeastern EuropedhS-
more 1han ii per cent were unskillcd la
horers, and although of the o!d CLASS oiIy

as a consumer to the material welfare OF
the land If the employers would under
stand this side of the economic problem
they would not favor employment ot newly
arrived immigrants at the lower wage rate
in preference To those having higher
standard of living.
