SLAVES IN AMERICA.
Mr.. Worldly Wiseman Thinks Country
Can't Get Along Without Them.

Pretty plain speaking is INDUCED in
by Mr.. Worldly Wiseman, when he de-
tends his views OF labor and capital in
the December American Magazine, for
the benefit of his friends in the In
terpreters House" Thinking people
everywhere are beginning to realize that
in this conservative gentleman one Of
| the most brilliant satirists of our time
has found his medium and that the
smooth arguments of Mr.. Wiseman de-
4 fine the situation very conyncingly-
the other side! Mr. Worldly Wiseman
is capitalist. and aristroerat, a eonserv-
ative, and he believes in all these things.
He knows that the working classes are
not far removed from slavery. but he
believes in slavery. TO quote his own
words:
we have abolished the name OF slave,
we have knocked down some of the
social barriers that prevent slave from
/ passing from one class TO another and
we have given votes to the masses. But
calling a man free man doesn't make
him one and giving him a vote doesn't
confer on him a share in the government
OF the country. That's my way of look
! ing at it, Some conditions OF serfdom
are essential .to the establishment OF a
state and the orderly progress of civil.
! ization | call any man serf whose
lack of intelligence, education or OPP
portunity condemns him to labor for
barely enough to sustain life and who
ia unable, from any reason whatever, to
rise to the station of master You can
make laws for him but he won't know
how to take advantage of them He
will be subjected to all the disabilities
and penalties that have been the por-
ton Of the serf in every age. You don't
agree with me, You are shocked by the
classification. But the socialists are not
They agree with me, only / think the
present conditions are unalterable and
therefore practically moral and just
while they think they are alterable and
therefore immoral and UNJUST
What Roosevelt is trying to stir up
is nothing more or less than a slave
rebellion. That, Of course, is the most
dangerous thing in the world. Nothing
else ever so frightens people OF prop
erty. And he goes about it in just the
manner OF s-the-fellOw' s-name--
spartacus ?-by telling the man who is
down that he oughtnt to be down, that
the cards have been stacked against him
and that his rulers are weak and wicked
1t is bad for any man to stir up dis
content among the poor and ignorant
who comprise the larger part Of the
population of every country in the world
and in this country are made more ex-
citable by the curse OF popular educa-
tion and by reading newspapers and
magazines.

Hudson Maxim relates in the January
issue OF Adventure how a certain Boni-
face hired reckless laborer named BEN
der to dynamite some stumps Maxim
protested, but Boniface wanted Bender
to do the work, and inquired the price
of dynamite
Sixteen cents a pound said Maxim,
"but YOU can have it for nothing if
Bender doesn't blow himself up
A particularly refractory old stump,
says Maxim, had resisted a couple OF
Bender's dynamic attacks. The failure
to dislodge the stump Bender took as a
personal affront, because it reflected
upon his skill as a stumpblRster.

twenty pounds Of dynamite under the

We have received an interesting sug-
gestiOn from member of that much
abused and we make bold to say, in part
misunderstood class OF our population,
husbands. The proposal is in brief that
Che state should intervene in behalf OF
those weaker and defenseless beings and
so regulate their treatment through rigid
legislation as to restore to them some
portion of their ancient prerogative As
our correspondent insists upon complete
anonymity and requests that not even
the body of his letter be printed tlest
the language betray his Identify, we
are compelled to restate his plea in our
own words.
First OF all, he urges curfew law,
which shall fix definitely the time when
husbands must be off the streets. At
present, it is asserted, the captive hus.
band has no minutes which he can call
his own, The hours of unremitting toh
are OF course, fixed BY custom and the
standard OF luxury now obtaining in our
American houses So also is il plainly
i
should ordinarily be indoors by a cer-
tain hour; for even though carefully
trained and broken to town, country ana
suburban service, it is automatic that the
best of husbands will hang themselves If
given too long rope.
Therefore our correspondent would in
troduce cmfew ordinance, to be au.
thorized by the legislature and enacted
by the local town and city authorities
fixing the exact hour when a husband
may return home with no questions
asked IN this city it might be p. M
he suggests; in the suburbs lhaving re-
gard to the rigor OF the life and the con-
timing customs Of such commmitiesl the
hour might be set as late as 1880.
This would be, however. bat the be.
ginning OF a general reform system, At
most. such q curfew device would give
the average husband only an hour or 50
of freedom at the end OF each working
day-"thc daily rest hour as our cor
respondent calls It. Why should there
not be day out ?" he boldly continues
in his rank enthusiasm Not weekly, OF
course. But, say monthly-or perhaps
twice a month in the long, hard winter
The writer evidently states his extreme
OF hope and would plainly accept a less
er portion as a compromise.
While we do not feel nc liberty TO
quote verbatim from this husband, We
gladly remark upon the admirable spirit
Of humility in which he urges his far.
