a You can just bank your whole pile on the fact that when the Socialists get the law-making ‘power into their hands, as they certainly will some of these (lays, they will make a law that will enable the workers to regulate their own wages and hours. If the capitalists then think that the workers are getting far too much for their labor, they can enlist in the army of workers and share in the high pay. When you 'hear a man say that wages are too high, just ask him how he would like to work for the wages. He may do so if he is qualified. But very [cw of such are qualified to do any useful work. All they can do is to kick against men: capable of doing work getting enough to live on in comfort. You will hear the speculator, who makes hundreds a day, stick up his nose at the idea of men being worth $10 a day. He thinks he is en- titled to have a hundred a day for just simply owning some property! I have been there and I know. Workers can have more than . the equivalent of $2,500 a year for an eight- hour day, and have it for their wives and their children when they grow up, if they will help establish Socialism. That is more than the capitalists promise you for your votes. Get wise to the Moveâ€" ment for Labor.â€"Fred. 1). ll'arren. Professional Cards. LEGAL. F. A. MCDIAllMID.

To our mind there is nothing more loathsome than the spasmodic charity and startled benevolence of our hypoâ€" critical slave-driving society. There is an earthquake or a pestilence, a ship- wreck or a famine, and straightway ev- erybody is eager to hand out cheques, in order to help the alliicted.

The Fall in prices of stocks and bonds is always looked upon as a calamity. Let us see. If you. owned a slave, and laws had just been passed assuring you that you could hold him, he would be of greater vnlue in your estimation than if laws were about to be passed that would set him free, would n't he? The price of chattel slaves was given a hard thump when the republican administration puss- ed a law declaring that chattel slaves who could reach our military lines would be free. Well, that is just what keeps up the prices of all stocks and bonds with which the capitalists gamble. But, so long as the capitalists believe they can use these paper handcuffs to hold the people and make them give up billions a year, the price will be higher and higher. . When the people have some chance of getting free from this tribute to Czcsar, the prices will fall and fall and fall un- til they aro not worth the paper they are printed on. So to me it looks good to see the prices fall, for it means the prospects of good grafting off the people is diminishing. High prices for stocks show that the holders are able to get big tribute from the public; low prices show small tribute, and no prices would mean that the people would be free. Bonds are not worth anything unless somewhere some persons are in. bondage. A bond that would not draw blood from FELIX A. NORTHEY, - 'PUBLIC AUCTIONEER.

When the Socialists begin to get rep- resentation in the state and national law- making bodies, the prices of stocks will be falling and the water will leak out of them in a hurry. What the workers should want is high-priced men, which would mean low-priced capital. Some people will tell you that high-priced men means high-priced propertymbut they are not willing to double the wages of men to prove it. In England, after the plague which carried off millions, there was such a demand for workers that wages were the highest in the history of the world. Landlords would give ten acres of land for the services of a man for a season ; while, before, the wages of a man for a lifetime would not have bought the land. A nan could make a good living for him- self and six families by his own labor, until the lords passed a law regulating wages and making it a prison offence for the workers to ask more than the scale the lords put on their human chattels. The masters always want to make the scale for their hit-clings. And the singu- lar thing about it is that even in these days of the twentieth century the work~ ers seem to think it perfectly proper for the masters to do this. The masters made laws to keep the workers down. Now the workers have the ballot, and they should make a law to boost them- selves. And they would, if they were not led by men who are in the pay of the capitalist class. 1' with}?kdlfitfiflrfialâ€"T’fiifié :‘t'slfiifi’pi Interest allowed on d OPEN FROM 9 T035.

Funds are immedi- ately raised to help the wounded and poverty-stricken. The newspapers revel in the catastrophe, the public mind is exercised, the pockets of the well-toâ€"do are opened. All very nice indeed. But hundreds of hard-working Englishmen are killed and thousands maimed on our railways every year; yet the House of Commons, which fully represents the sweating classes, will not enforce autoâ€" matic couplings, because they cost so much more to the companies than men’s lives or limbs. Negroes in earthquakes call for compassion and assistance. Com- mon Englishmen, suffering and dyingin common circumstances, are not worth a thought. So with the steaming sheds of Lancashire, where the constitutions of men and women are simply rotted out of them by the damp heat. Nobody dares to enact a law to stop that. It is against capitalist interest to do so. And so it is all round. When will our people see through this mqst infamous neglect at home, and demand a complete change ?-â€"â€" London Justice. ___.-.__â€"a A Picture of Capitalism. A myriad of men are born. They laâ€" bor and sweat and struggle for bread ; they squabble and scold and fight ; they scramble for little mean advantages over each other; age creeps upon them ; inlirmities follow; Shames and humilia- tions bring down their prides and their vanities ; those they love are taken from them, and the joy of life is turned to aching grief. The burden of pain, care, misery, grows heavier year by year ; at length ambition is dead, pride is dead, vanity is dead; longing for release is in their place. It comes at lastâ€"~the'only unpoisened gift earth ever had for them -~--and they vanish from a world where they were of no consequence; where they achieved nothing ; where they were a mistake and a failure and a foolishness. There they have left no sign that they have existedâ€"a world which will lament them a day and forget them forever. Then another myriad take their places, and copy all they did, and go along the same profitless road, and vanish as they vanishedâ€"â€"to make room for another, and another, and a million other myriads, to follow the same arid path through the same desert, and accomplish what the first myriad and all the myriads that came after it accomplishedâ€"110thing.» From Mark Twain’s Autobiography in North American Review. â€"~+O Benjamin Franklin said, a good deal over a hundred years ago, that a careâ€" ful calculation had convinced him that four hours a day for each able-bodied man was sufficient to do all the work of the world. He never saw either a rail- road, a powerâ€"loom, a self-binder ora steel mill. Any one of these will do more work in an hour than the man and tools of his time could do in a week. eposiislirem date of first , cistern.
