social revolution had been shaping IT.

tariat. for the first time in the his

with a conscious and unified purpose
Herculean efforts were put forth by
the master class to stem the rushing
torrent which they knew. if not i'm
mediately checked, would inevitably
overwhelm them.
The bulkheads of capitalism, already
decayed and wormeaten, were strained
to the utmost, and the cleansing wat

No Limit
Some may say that the working
man has to live, and there Is n I'm
IL, No there is no limit The only
limit that there is. is a limit to the
rapidity OF the decline. Wages can
rot fall from a hundred cents to ten
cents, but they can fall by easy grad
uatons even below ten cents.
We have. for instance. this story
about the Chinese that in some plac-
es they live only upon the rats they
catch; that in other places their
stomachs having been squeezed still
more, they live upon the tails OF rats
that others ate; and that in still other
places there are Cinnamon who live
upon the smell OF the tails of the rats.
This may sound Ike a Joke, and yet
there is more truth than poetry in II.
In the history OF France we have II
reported that large masses of the
population lived in the eighteenth
century during the ancient regime
upon herbs. the price of which for the
whole year would not have been five
francs The human stomach Is like
an India rubber ball; you can squeeze
it,, and squeeze II, and squeeze il:
and you can shave off aHd pare off
the wants OF the workingman TIL his
wants are merely those Of the beast

THE BRITISH CRISIS

LONDON, July 30.-If there IS one

politics suggests TO the EnGllshman
an orgy of corruption in Tammany

American newspaper that completely
paralyzes his sense of propriety 1t Is
true that the average EngtShman mas

and the most OF what he knows
about the yellow journalism of Yam
keeland ne has read in his own Brit
ish journals reprinted from American
newspapers or magazines.
II is not the British custom to con-
denim severely anything British. even
if il be an admitted evil. The British
habit Is to go to work to correct the
evil as quietly as possible and with
out any rancorous agitation. Inc
American habit is TO precipitate the
rancorous agitation regardless oil

Get their notions about their cousins

OF late years yellow journalism has
been mailing great progress in Eng
land. and TO a considerable extent this
Is blamed upon Americans. IL is
either a product of the American in
vaslon or a result of the importation
of American men and methods II is
one of those curious contradictions so
often met with in Britain that the par
ticular section OF the British yellow
press showing American influence
should be the staunoh supporters oi
the Conservative party and, therefore
the avowed enemy of change.
AS a matter of fact England has its
own yellow journalism, indigenous to
the soil, quite apart from the exotic
American variety recently imported. II
differs from the American brand not
in kind, but in degree IL is designed
TO meet the demand of a certain sec
tion Of the public. and II is success

American journalism is that the de-
mand Is different.

THE WORKERS WELFARE.
It Can Never Be Promoted Under the
Wages System-Thc Tendency
is Ever Downward

Wages are that part OF the product
OF labor which the capitalist pays to
the workingman out OF the proceeds
Of the workingman'S own products.
Say that a worblngman produces 81
a day, and that 81 is paid him for his
labor. That 81 is taken out OF the
wealth that he himself produces, and
II is kindly given back To him by the
capitalist, who pockets the other So
That Is one feature of wages.
Another is that wages are the price
of labor In The labor market. and that
In the labor market labor stands on
the same footing as any other com
modify it is governed by the law Of
supply and demand Its price, the
same as that of anything else-hair-
pins. shoes or cast-off clothing-is
determined by the law OF supply and
demand: the more there is OF these

There is a substantial reason for

Cooperation is founded upon the
simple, universal and wide reaching
social principle that men seek to
