as a necessary consequence. When
that which is prejudicial arises. in
convenience will be experienced by
those who suffer the injustice. When
! this inconvenience becomes excessive.
/ IL will produce clamor for change.
But knowledge must show the true
cause of suffering before the clamor
can become effectual to produce or
eXtOrt permanent change.
Right should lead to possession;
rot might. Thus the diffusion of Il
knowledge of true economies will
gradually lead to the best political
state. 1t is essential. in the estab-
Fishing Of governments, that the I'M
privileged classes should be informed
of and correctly understand the cause
Iof their systematic suffering.
What, then, is the rule OF life
with relation to each other, for those
the millions Of human beings assO-
lciated upon the earth? Strange as
liz may seem, order and harmony is
the rule of life throughout the whole
of nature otherwise, but with man we
lrccord an exception. Why is it that
lCCnfusion, turmoil, and strife is ever
present with those superior beings.
while order and harmony is the rule
of the universe? Why is ii that
through all the history of the human
race poverty follows progress? Why
| is it that the clamor for change has
been universal and continuous through
out the life OF civilization? And why
| Is it in our country we have such in
lstitutions as labor organizations?
Why is it that in a country like
this, just in the formative period of
development, when all labor should be
most richly rewarded. when all labor
should be most fully employed, that
this clamor for change exists and the
labor troubles are growing worse each
lyear?
There is and there must nee
lessarily be truth and falsehood in
politics as much as in mathematics
and astronomy; and we have no hest
tation in believing that ere the great
curtain of eternity shall have fallen
on the drama of mans terrestrial oX-
| istence, legislation will come to be as
exclusively the application of a certain
truth to the condition of men upon
the earth, as mechanics is the APP
lplication Of ascertained truth to the
conditions of matter.
Men are beginning to emerge from
political superstitions and party idol
iatry. and to cast about for the OBJ
ljoctive law. which, when the intellect
discovers it. shall be acknowledged 10
be the true basis of political associa-
ton and legislation.
There is a vast troubling of the
waters, which indicates "A crying de-
Isire for political truth; and whatever
interests may be implicated in the
struggle, there can be but little doubt
that truth shall be evolved ard that
the world shall yet see il carried in
to practical and universal application
What, then. is the fundamental law?
! According to the divine plan OF
nature, men ard women on this
earth have a right to associate with
land love each other; and if they have
that right. then children have a right
to be born; and if a child has a right
TO be born, that child has a right O.
| live md if a child has a right e.
live, it has a right To a place to live:
and if il is necessary in this world
To work in order to live, then, whcr
that child reaches the age maturity
il has a right to work, and when il
works. it has a right to the full
lfruitage of its toll, and no man has
a right 10 any portion of the pro-
ducts of that labor without that
ichild's consent
ITO secure these rights. then. ard
To- establish and secure equality OF
opportunity for all. is the problem OF
labor and of politics. In the solving
OF this great problem labor should
take the leading part. because labor
is the one that suffers the injustice
and feels the inconvenience. From
him must come the cry or clamOr fol
ichange."
Tracing the history of some things
that labor had done for bettcrment
Mr. Worsley continued. This is the
treason for labor organizations. Labor
organizations have been labors only

is the most sacred thing on earth
ITO degrade il is to degrade every
thing else. Who, then, should di-
rect the officials of labor in this
struggle? Organized labor Labor
ishould own the inventions of its owl
