HAMILTON, ‘g i _The casualties of Peace. We have before us the casualty lists of that greatest of all fields‘of carnage â€"â€"the railroads of the United States. Lost the gentle reader should object to our‘phraseology, calling it sonsati‘Onal, we ask his attention to the Interstate Commerce Conimissic'm statistics of deaths and injuries for the last three months of 1000, which opens with the following statement: “The number of persons killed in train accidents during the months of October, November and December, 1006, as shown in reports made by the railroad companies to the Interstate Commerce Commission, under the accident law of March lst, 1001, was 47"], and of injured 4,010. Accidents of other kinds, including those sustained by employees while at work, and by pits- seiigers in getting on or off the cars, etc.. bring the total number up to 20,011, (1,430 killed and 10,514 injured.) At the above rate, the total number of people killed on, the railroads in twelve months would be 5,720, and the total number injured 78,057, or a total of 83,- 770 casualties in a single year. 'If we remember rightly, this is twice as many‘ as were killed on the British side during all the years of the Boer war ; while the total number of injured exceeds the to- tal number that were wounded by bullet and shell. But such wars as the South African trouble come intermittently and with decreasing frequency, whereas the casualties of peace are with us always, and increase with the passing years. The deaths and injuries in our railâ€" roads, appalling; in number though they be, represent after all but a fraction of the total number of casualties occurring every year in the prosecution of the so- called arts of peace. The mine, the quar- ry, tho smelting furnace, the mill, the machine shop, all present an annual death and casualty roll which, accorc- ing to the most eminent authority on the subject: inthis country, Dr. Josiah Strong, is placed at the stupendous fig- ure of 525,000. The railway accidents and their appalling results are‘ more in the public eye than other disasters, for the reason that the government collects and publishes the statistics of deaths and injuries. But the grim facts regard- ing the frequency of deaths and injuries such a condition of things puts upon the: nation, and to the realization of the vast amount of personal loss and suffering which these figures represent; and. secâ€" ondly; they must be taught that, by the enactment of proper ordinances goveriv mg the safety of life and limb, and the provismn of proper devices of a mechanâ€" Ical kind, it would be possible. in a very few years, to reduce the casualty last by' probably not less than fifty per cent. We: can conceive of no other pliilan-' thropic movement- that would be so worâ€" thy of the use of the name and the milâ€"- 110115 of such ol’ our capitalists as are of" humanitarian bout as this. If the pre- vention of the comparatively small and intermittent slaughter of war is worthy of a peace palace in Europe, and of a peace congress in the United States, to= which representatives are invited from‘ the four corners of the earth, surely the abolition of the “carnage of peace." whose victims outnumber those of war immeasurably, should command an even larger liberality and an effort more susw tamedâ€"Scientific American, . The Scientific American, while realiz‘» mg the enormous slaughter resulting from the operation of modern industry, appears to be absolutely blind as to the reason for it. In this age of powerful industrial appliances, the legitimate and healthy wants of the human race can bo easrly supplied without the necessity of' speeding production to the limit of a; reckless 'disregard'of life in its opera-- tion. And yet never were industrial ops crations driven at such reckless speed as at present. The entire field of pro- duction is a theatre of the most intense; activity. Industrial operations are driva on at a speed that renders safety to life- and liinh impossible. The reckless dis- regard for human life, and the callous indifference to this wholesale slaughter upon the part of industrial masters is not without reason. In fact it is easily understood, once" the character of mod« crn industry is disclosed. Capitalist production is carried on for profit.~ That is-its sole purpose. The matter of conserving human needs, of ministering to human wants, is merely incidental to it. It is no concern of cap- ital whether such needs are conserved. or such wants administered to. The con- sideration is profit, and the largest pos- sible volume of it. How many workers may be slaughtered in the process, or how few may escape with their lives, is of no concern to the capitalists, provided the slaughter does not prevail to such - an extent as to enhance their market price (wages). Under capitalist produc- tion menarenot better than sheep, proâ€" vided they are working men. The loss of a sheep represents a loss in dollars :1. id cents. The loss of a. working m'iii loes not. Any sane person will acknow- "nlire the dollar and cents standard to be the proper measure to determine the respective worth of these two animals. “ A decent regard forthe sanctity of hu- man life 3’ can never be acquired under a slave civilization. Therefore it is folly ’ to look for it under the present regime. If the Scientific American does not know the present to be a slave civilization, It ought to. To expect the slaughter to be reduced by passing laws, is more silly than scientific. To expect it to be done away with, or even lessened, as a result of philanthropic effort on the part of notoriety~sceking capitalists, is the ex-- treme of asininity. ' So long as the motive of industry 15; profit, its operation will be driven to the limit, and the lives of human beings Will be recklessly sacrificed in obtaining it. So long as the workers are foolish enough to support the present system of properâ€" ty in the means of production, they-ought. in justice to be ground into profit in any manner that is satisfactory to their ma_s- ters, the capitalists. In fact they Will be, as that is the purpose of capital and capitalist production.-~Vancouver, B. 6., Western Clarion. c-._____.â€"â€" See the Point?
