pense of these masses. The prisons
were jammed to capacity with debt
CHS, the while speculation. graft and
corruption grew and flourished.
1t is not to be wondered at that
those who had given wears Of their
life to fight against rovelist auto
cracy should now begin r. question
where the equality and democracy"
for which they had fought was to be
found. The discomfort grew by leaps
and bounds. Soon the men who had
fought at Lexington and Concord,
who had tramped barefoot thru the
SHOWS at Valley Forge, were up in
arms against their new oppressors.
In state after state rebellion grew
only to be ruthlessly crushed by brute
force and strategy.
During these happenings a resolu-
ton was passed by the Virginia
House urging all states to send rep
resentatives to convention in Phil
adelphia ITO provide effectually for
the commercial interests of the
United States" The holding Of the
convention was endorsed by congress
in 1887, but the resolution speeifi-
cally limited the convention business
to "the sole and express purpose of
revising the Articles of Confedera-
ton"
When the delegates assembled in
May, 1887, they closed the doors to
the public. No member present was
permitted to take notes at the ses-
sion not to let anyone outside know
what was going on. James Madison,
however, did take notes, but these
were made public only after his
death and fifty years after the Con-
stitutional Convention had become
history. For four months the secret
conclave continued in session. Sc
crecy was indeed necessary for the
fathers" for had the impoverished
and debt-ridden masses heard their
debates. matters would have termin-
ated otherwise that they did.
Only IL states were represented at
the convention, and one Of these
dropped out from the proceedings
later on. OF the 65 delegates elected
only 90 were ever present (all men
of great wealth and power) and but
80 of these signed the final report.
From Madison's notes we learn Of
the supreme contempt expressed by
all of the delegates for the toiling
masses. Ben Franklin was the only
one ever to speak in their favor.
Ellsworth Of Connecticut expressed
the sentiment of \. he majority when
he said during debate Of slavery,
LET us not intemeddle. As popu-
lation increases poor laborers will be
so plenty as TO render slaves use
less
IL was the unanimous opinion OF
the gathering that the right to rule
lay in the hands Of the LANDED, COM
morcial and manufacturing ele-
mests, while the masses were to be
excluded TO the greatest degree.
Madison expresses himself thus on
one occasion, "In future time, a great
majority Of the people viii not only
be without land but any other sort
Of property"

SimoDs writes about him, ale had
helped 20 maintain what would now
be called "land lobby" in London to
push his schemes. When Parliament,
by the Quebec Act, extended the ju-
risdiction Of Canada over the west
ern country, his interests were di-
reetly threatened, and had the revo-
luton not occurred, he would have
lest some 10000 acres of land"
In short, "honest George" was a
large scale land Spectator of his
day. How anyone who knows even
the slightest about the means and
methods of land spectators can swal-
low the tale about George and the
cherry tree, is quite beyond the
bounds of ordinary Imagination. And
still that silly. story is repeated with
clock-like regularity to school chill
dren every year.
Professor Beard has made a re-
markable study of the fathers"
their wealth, business interests, ETC.,
in his Economic Interpretation of the
United States Constitution, which
deserves a wide circle of readers. Let
US once morGremind our readers that
the Sons of 1926 with their graft
and corruption and greedy are
worthy descendants of the Fathers Of

The Constitutional Class Weapon.
1t may be true that the American
people do not worship kings (tho one
would not admit that judging by the
receptions given to foreign princes
who visit these shores) but the rul-
ing class has carried on a consistent
policy ever since the Constitution
was framed and adopted to make it
appear as a divinely inspired docu-
ment. They have made fetish out
of it-and woe to him who dares
speak of it in critical or unrespectful
terms.
The years Immediately following
the Revolutionary War were the
most critical in the history of the
republic. The poor farmers, workers
ard petty traders who had fought
ana bled for the cause Of freedom
were left Holding the bag"
"1'he last shot had scarcely been
fired" says ONeal, when these vet

homeward, were confronted by ter

err history affords another such ex-
ample Of the shameless ingratitude
displayed by ruling class toward its
benefactors that the fathers" dis
played toward the poor veterans Of
the war.
"Many farmers and laborers found
that while they were at the front
risking their lives in the struggle the
wealthy classes were confiscating
their little farms and household
goods for debts contracted during the
war and imprisoning thousands for
debt"
The depths Of poverty to which the
large masses were reduced during
that period can never be adequately
described. And while the masses
starved and hungered. the new ruling
class. with the fathers" at their

LABOR-CAPITAL UNITY

Labor and capital do not yet sec
all things through the same glasses
but there are unmistakable signs Of
greater unity of thought among the
more intelligent leaders of both.
A few years ago one would have
been astounded to see an outstand-
ing labor leader occupy a prominent
place on the convention program of
great capitalistic organization. Yet
this has happened recently, several
times.
At the annual convention of the
National Electric Light Association,
held in Atlantic City this month,
William Green, president Of the
American Federation of Labor, was
one of the principal speakers. He
stressed the growth Of cooperation
between capital and labor during re-
cent years, and also pointed out the
common interests of both in keeping
industry free from sitting govern
ment interference. He said:
In recent years there has de-
veloped between labor and capital a
cooperative spirit that has given the
worker a broad view of economic
and has led him to feel that
industry, as well as the worker,
