OF SOCIAL DEMOCRACY, j
A Calm and Dispassionate Review of
the Present and the Past Con
dition of Labor in this Coun
try and the Hope for
the Future.
Ily .1. KCSHI.I.I, K KNNEDV,
Without intending to be sensational. Mr. |
Eugene V. Delis made a most sensational |
speech at the Aead< rny of Music last night I
and sent about 1,000 people home with
their thinking caps on.
The representative of Social Democracy |
and the recognized leader of organized la
bor in tills country spoke for an hour and
tiiri e-quarters to an audience represents- I
live of all classes in the city, it was main
ly made up of the working element, of
course, hut the audience was made up of
the tiest representatives of the community.
A speech of such length has seldom If
ever been heard with less outward show
of enthusiasm and tit the same time with
more rapt ateiition. Two or three times
the forcible points made by Mr. Debs were
liberally applauded without any extrava
gant or foolish demonstration, and his hu
mor was well received. Apparently no one
got tired. From Ilrst to last he sustained
interest in his subject and it was evident
that the great majority of ills hearers were
thinking and thinking deeply.
Mr. Delis offered a masterly presenta
tion of the condition of the laboring
elassts of this country, and tils arraign
nti lit of the commercial system of the
country was severe but entirely devoid of
any effort to Inilame his hearers, even the
most extreme portion of them, against in
dividuals or individual corporations.
His theme was Social Democracy, a new
political party through which Mr. ih hs
hopes to reach a condition affecting alt
classes, rich and poor alike, lor their own
advancement and lor the benefit of tin
whole country, lie was not extravagant
in the promises he held out to the work
ing classes, lint he rather discouraged any
passionate or too sanguine action. He first
pointed out the evils of what he believes
to he a false system a system that is seif
destructive and then, like so many
reformers, he otit rs a cure.
Looking to the t-lit ill o.
There are many who will insist that Mr.
Debs' scheme of national co-operation is
impossible, but he pointed out ttiai ho did
not hope tor auytning immediate. lie
asked i arm ally for earnest, intelligent
support, and he commanded sympathy by
liis earnestness.
Ilt> spoke of a revolution not ~s a revolu
lion of revenge or of blood, but rather as
a steady, gradual upheaval, in which the
brawn and muscle as well is the brain of
the nation shall take part against the
false gotl of individual gain and the fever
of money getting to the exclusion of aii
human sympathy and true civilization.
He pointed out that trusts and combina
tions were simply a business remedy used
by individuals against a system that meant
Hie destruction o! their interests unless
combination was effected.
The present system, hi pointed out. was
suicidal in that it reduced the power ot
the masses to consume and therefore
meant stagnation. lie was earnest and
tie was eloquent, but he never for one mo
ment waved a red rag of anarchy or sought
to inflame hjs hearers or to array the
classes against the masses. He was digni
fied in his araignment. and the sensation
in ills speech came in the outspoken truths
and the plain verbiage that marked a
speech full of interest to the true, honest,
unselfish citizen who fears the ultimate re
sult of centralization of wealth and the
consequent impoverishment of the masses
of working people.
Mr. Debs was introduced it' a few elo
quent pud pleasant references by Mr.
Claude Bail's.
Mr. Estes did not endeavor to make a
speech. He simply and plaitilv Introduced
the speaker of the eveping. out he did it
in a quiet though eloquent manner, that
was iu the best taste and was -ouched in
the best style of eloquence. His speech Os
introduction was modest, while at the same
time it was an earnest appeal for a care
ful and wise consideration of what Mr!
Debs had to say.
A Comparison.
At the outset Mr. Debs drew attention
to the strong and striking compaarison be
tween the classes and the masses in tliis
country. He referred to the Jeffersonian |
doctrine that all men are born equal, and i
then showed the great inequality that now
exists between men.
Concentration, he said had reached to an
alarming extent. Many good thinking peo
ple, he pointed out, are opposed to labor
organization, but. he said, all progress is
due to agitation. The world has always had
a habit of crucifying its saviors and |
crowning lt« oppressors, while but for the
courage, self-sacrifice and patriotism of
agitators the world of civilization never
would have emerged from a condition of
barbarism. George Washington. Jefferson,
Sam Adams, all had been denounced in
their day. All the colonists had been op
posed to agitation, but the agitators had
laid the foundation of the republic. If
they had not hung together they would
have hung separately. They had stuck to j
their oonsienees and to their duty.
All the resources of this country, Mr.
Debs said, had been centralised in a few
who have become the lords of creation. 1
He disclaimed any reference to individuals,
but he denounced an economic system that
enabled one man to accumulate millions
while another is doomed to poverty and to
want.
Mr. Debs traced the development of the
„ industrial condition of this country. Forty
years ago. he said, the laboring people of
this country all had work. They were
hand laborers. The employe received a
fair remuneration for hts work in com pari- !
son with what he produced and had leisure j
for self-improvement, while he had oppor
tunity for the gratification of ambition.
Dut the machine has revolutionized indus
trial life and has subdivided labor. Then
n skilled laborer earned the product of his
skill. The shoemaker, for Instance, made
a pair of shoes and received his wage for
making them; now it takes seventy-two
men. women and children to make a pair
of shoes. In those days the laborer con
trolled the tod!* pf hie trade and for a few
dollars could buy them, and if he so pre
ferred could start out for hinlself; but now
conditions have expanded until machines
are made that cost thousands of dollars
and are only within the reach of the capi
talist. Then a man could work in a little
shop of his own. where now is takes a big
factory. Then there was hope for the
employe to become an employer; now
there is none.
Abuse of She Machine.
The machine was invented iu order that
It might be a blessing to mankind, but in
stead it has been seized upon' by the cap-
! italis' to be used for Individual gain to
the crushing down and out of the laborer.
The -hoemakcr who formerly earned $4 to
$5 a day in skilled labor now gets $4 to $9
a week —when he is well paid.
In tho-e days the man did the work of
the family and the woman was the queen
of *h house, while th- ehlldren went to
school and grew up to be useful men and
j women. Hut there came the time when
! the man was told that the woman could do
his work at the machine and then the wo
man v.'aa told that 'h< child could take her
place. And in the United States today the
curse of ihe country is child labor. (Great
I am told, said Mr. Debs, that even here
j in Georgia little children work in the c-ot
! ton factories for 50 cents a week.
Dut of this came the tramp era. The
; woi d tramp, he said, is less than forty
I years: old. Forty years ago the tramp was
I a curie, ity, and now between three and
j four millions of tramps are in this country,
and the w ho of tin ir tramp, tramp, tramp
. sounds from mountain to seaboard. The
j tramp has the sympathy of few, but he is
j the most melancholy feature of eiviliza-
I tion and is a victim of circumstances
which he did not create.
Mr. Debs eloquently pictured the stages
of the workman from honest toil, taken
away from him. through the stages of a
fruitless search for work to the tramp
without self-respect and then to the next
step -crime. He said that some years ago
the tramps had met in London in mass
j meeting. The military were ordered to dis
perse them. They dispersed, but before
I doing so they gave three eheers for Jesus
! Christ. Some people had charged that they
| were irreverent, but the speaker did not
j think so. They had recognized in Jesus
! Christ the one man with a great welling
! love for humanity, who had mixed with
j the poor and had loved them; who had
j [inured the vials of his wrath upon the
1 rich who made long prayers upon the
j corners and whom Jesus Christ had de
! pounced ;l s whitened sepulchres. He had
cast them out from his father’s temple as
hypocrites, but today some ministers of the
gospel were afraid to turn hypocrites out
of the temples because they are rich.
Ihe Itiglit to Week,
Every man, said Mr. Debs, by birth is
given the right to live; the right to live
means the right to work. Yet in the year
j 1898 in this country 2,800,000 people were
out of work altogether and 3,200,000 people
had no work some of the time. The ma
chinery of the workshops of the country
is only in operation about five months in
thi year.
You have no right, said Mr. Debs, to
deprive citizens of the right to work, and
if you do so you violate a moral law. The
system is at fault and there is a certain
penalty for the violation of a moral law
as there is of the violation of a civil law.
in the city of St. Louis today all the cit
izens go armed. In one week one firm sold
1,000 revolvers. Against whom, asked Mr.
Debs, are these weapons t<s be directed?
Against their own felloiv-nieu who have
no work to do. The men out of. work who
have gone through the misery of degrada
tion and poverty, and the sight of their
wives and children starving until they
actually become or are on the verge of be
coming criminals.
Mr. Debs read an extract from a news
paper which accused him of having asked
Rockefeller for a subscription to the sup
port of Social Democracy. He denied ever
having made such a request, and said that
tlie only ground for suelwi statement arose
out of the fact that he itad charged that
50,000 people were out of work in Chicago
and S.OOO families were on the verge of
starvation. When Rockefeller wms donat
ing money to a library and he had written
to Rockefeller that if he doubted it he
would a ray the 50,000 men out of work on
the lake front in Chicago, where their rags
might bear testimony to the truth
of liis assertion. Mr. Rockefeller
had not accepted the challenge.
He bad not asked for charity, for
acts of charity will not remove the can
ker worm that is eating out the heart of
the nation.
A False System.
The social and economic system, said
Mr. Dills, is untrue. Every man is en
titled to work and to a fair remuneration
for bis toil. The wage workers make .ip
three-fourths of the population and if me
wage workers have no employment they
cannot consume, and if they do not con-,
sumo then stagnation must result. There
is no cause lor panic in this country while
nature produces so bounteously what vve
need, but there are 4,000,000 people out of
employment who arc consuming nothing.
Labor is the root of the tree of social
and commercial life, li the roots are not
watered the tree dies. The root of the
commeicial tree is not now being wa
tered aiul the tree is beginning to wither.
The middle class of this country, said
Mr. Debs, is becomingextinct . Os course
it is not noticeable to a great extent in a
city like Macon, but in the great centers
the fact is very apparent.
Mr. Debs pointed out that the immense
number of failures last year, involving
some $225,000,000, was the resuli of com
bination and centralization. The small firm
could not compete with the larger, and
failure results.-
Mr. Debs passed then to the moral and
ethical phase of his subject. In the year
ISiaS. he said, there were 6,525 suicides, and
in IS OO 2,840. or in six years an increase of
throe times as many. These suicides, he
said, were the result of the persistent and
selfish desire for money, in which the
weaker must succumb, no matter how
great the misery entailed. The suicides
were to be found among the smaller
tradesmen and wage earners. In 1596
there were 10,000 murders, and in 1890 only
2,200, There are now in the jails 53,000
pefiple, in the insane asylums ISO,OOO and
in the poorhouses 184,900 people.
>Vlij Children Dio.
The death rate is 800,000 people annually,
and out of this number 500.000 were ehild
| ren under 5 years of age, whom the phy
| sit-ians said died, in a great majority of
cases, for lack of nourishment and fresh
air. These were the children of the suf
fering poor. More fortunate people may
not know of these things, but they have
no right to scoff at or attempt to silence
the agitator, who is earnestly trying to
j help the children of the suffering poor,
j (Great applause.)
The temptation of the day. Mr. Debs
said, was for the young man entering life
to become the servant of the rich man. On
the one side was apparent ease and lux
dury. on the other poverty; but it was a
question of conscience and of a knowledge
of what is right. Mr. Debs said that wealth
was the standard by which a man is tried.
The poor man is drunk. He is arrested.
The rich man is drunk and some one takes
; him home. If a man commits a crime his
j punishment greatly depends upon the size
of his roll.
But. said Mr. Debs, I have no plea to
: make for the poor man. If he commits a
crime let him go to jail, and if the rich
man commits a crime let him go to jail,
too.
Men do not stand equal today before the
law. he said. Corporate capital controls
the polities and the courts of the country,
and men preside over the courts because
of their services to corporate capital.
Mr. Debs hero referred to his own im
prisonment and the fact that Mr. Pullman
] had been round in contempt -of court.
, "Why did not Mr. Pullman go to jail?”
! said Mr. Debs. “What was the difference
! between Pullman and me? Just $29,000.-
i 000.”
1 Mr. Debs referred to the income tax law
• and charged that the supreme court had
j usurped legislative authority in pronounc
j ing it unconstitutional.
He paid a high tribute to Judge Cald
well. of Missouri, who had declined to
agree with his colleagues in their decision
j on tsrikes and boycotts, and had declined
i to "leave labor at the mercy of its ene
j mies.”
Money Getting Age.
; Mr. Debs spoke earnestly on the evil of
j the tendency of the age towards money
getting to the exclusion of honesty, hu
manity and right. The dollar, he said, is
eating the heart out of nature.
"Tell me how much money a man has
and I will teil you his social status.” he
exclaimed. “It is not a question of ‘has
he manhood.’ but ‘has he money?’ It
doesn’t matter how he got it.”
This is a commercial age, Mr. Debs says,
whm thc-re is no co / dence in commerce.
One man destroys another as his natural
enemy, and this is called the survival of
the fittest. The richer a man gets in money
the poorer he gets in morals, until be be
comes a spiritual tramp, and at an early
age falls away into decay.
“Life is a mystery, death is a doubt;
“And some men are dead who are walk
ing about.”
And y« t with all this mad race for
money life is so short that it is but a step
from the cradle to the grave.
Mr. Debs said that he was not in har
mony with the commercial spirit of the
age.
“It is tune for the children of the poor
to cease ne the social inferiors of the lap
dogs of te rich,” he said.
He prer >• d against the profit system
and is tis " y p . d to it. It is a sys
tem, he : aid. that produces abnormal
creatures All men are brothers, he said,
and we will n- v< r have a true system un
til we have e< ; ui’ity based upon economic
industry.
F t i:«I I*l.lo IjDs.
We are suffering, Mr. Debs said, from
partial paralysis, and corporate capital is
committing suicide every day while it de
stroys its own market by forcing thous
ands and millions out of work or down to
the lowest possible prices as wage earners.
Tne result is as infallible as a mathemat
ical problem, he said —commercial death.
We enjoy, said Mr. Debs, a political
democracy, but why be politically free
when we live in industrial servitude?
Mr. Debs gave a most graphic descrip
tion of the scenes in the Tennessee coal
mines, where men work for 42 cents a day
and were forced to take checks on the
commissary in payment. They are cheated
in weight and measure, he says, and from
month’s end to month’s end never have
money. He gave a most painful descrip
tion of their life of servitude and the con
dition of their wives and children.
These, he said, were the canker spots on
the body politic of the nation. But a little
is being done every day towards removing
them. The country is in a state of dis
content, unrest and alarm, and some peo
ple say that the sun of the republic is set
ting in gloom, but he is not one of these.
The old ship will yet weather the storm
and reach a safe haven. The people are
thinking, and conscience has been awak
ened.
Social Democracy,
What, then, does Social Democracy pro
pose to do?
It proposes, by legislation, to ameliorate
the condition or the people. It does not
ask for charity, but demands and will get
a rational, human industrial system in
volving the collective ownership of land
and of all machinery, of railroads, of tele
graph systems, telephones and canals for
the good of all the people.
There must be work, he said, at fair
wages. Now his wage is set by competi
tion and may be forced down to a pittance.
Under the plans of Social Democracy he
will receive what he produces and the
profit system will be abolished. Political
freedom will avail nothing so long as all
industries are organized for private gain|
The fathers of our republic fought and
died to give us political freedom and it is
our duty to hand down to the generations
that are to come economic freedom. Every
trust that is established is monumental of
the destruction of combination. The cor
porations realize that competition is sui
cidal, so they organize trusts, which are
the natural outgrowth of existing condi
tions. They are economical and in a sense
they are good business. One product after
another has been monopolized and the
wage earners are daily being impoverished.
Soon the country will be controlled by
one trust and the people will be reduced
to slavery. But, said Mr. Debs, such a day
will never come.
Revolution lias Commenced
A revolution has commenced, and revo
lutions go forward, not backward. The
trend is towards co-operation. It is the
sensible and only logical system.
Mr. Debs referred at length to the ab
sorption of the railroads. J. Pierpont Mor
gan, he says, now controls 52,000 miles of
railroad and will soon have them all.
Then ho will be the economic king of the
country, for we cannot live without rail
roads.
Now, he says, the rich men get a pass,
the middle class buy mileage and the poor
people pay full fare or walk. In fact, In
everything the poor man pays the highest
prices.
Mr. Debs said that telegraph, telephone,
gas plans, electric plants and railroads can
be operated much better by the people.
The question is shall a few own all the
earth and the many be slaves, or shall the
many own the earth and all be free.
Mr. Debs referred to a gathering at the
Vanderbilt mansion at Biltmore where
eleven people represented $500,000,000 and
feasted while millions of people, down
trodden and oppressed, were in the pangs
of hunger.
He said that he did not speak of them
in hate. They are victims of a system and
will require emancipation.
Social Democracy, he said would make
it possible for a man to get what he pro
duced. All the misery brought about by
centralization of wealth, competition and
the profit system would disappear. The
jails and poorhouses will no longer be
filled and the shadow of the gallows will
no longer be on the land.
How much better and happier all will
be if every one is comfortable.
Debauchery Fund.
The railroads will then no longer need
to spend $50,000,000 to debauch legislatures
and will no longer keep a paid lobby at
Washington, for the people will own the
railroads and railroad travel will be re
duced to 1 cent a mile.
The people will have emancipation from
slavery.
From this point, Mr. Debs said, I can
see opening up in the future a higher, no
bler and better life and a co-operate com
monwealth where there la not one master
and not one slave.
“And on, and on," he said, “is the con
quering shibboleth of Sociat Democracy,
giving us a new world filled with a new
people, and as we do our duty so for the
children yet to come the world will be
brighter and better.
Mr. Debs closed with earnest advice to
the working men to read and better them
selves. To cultivate the mind and sow the
seed of ambition. He asked those who be
lieved in co-operation to join the party of
Social Democracy, compromising or fusing
with no party. Mr. Debs closed his speech
with the verse commencing with the lines:
“He’s true to God who’s true to man,
“Wherever wrong is done."
Consumption Positively Cured.
Mr. R B. Greeve, merchant, of Chil
howie, Va.. certifies that he had consump
tion, was given up to die. sought all medi
cal treatment that money could procure,
tried all cough remedies he could hear of,
but got no relief; spent many nights sit
ting up in a chair; was induced to try Dr.
King's New Discovery, and was cuped by
the use of two bottles. For the past three
years has been attending to business, and
says Dr. King’s New Discovery is the
grandest remedy ever made, a sit has done
so much for him and also for ethers ip his

“CARMEN”J6BS3
Rosabel Morrison’s Remarkable Success as
the Fiery Gipsy Girl-
The law of heredity was never better
exemplified than in the case of Rosabel
Morrison. She has Inherited the wonderful
dramatic vigor which has made her father,
Lewis Morrison, famous. She has that
one indescribable -park cf genius and mag
natism, without which it is impossible to
mount the lader of fame. No amount of
talent or ability can carry the dramatic
artist to success without this spark of ge
nius. In “Carmen" Miss Morrison has a
part so thoroughly congenial to her that
she has achieved success with but little
effort. It is exaotly apposite to “Marguer
ite” m “Faust.” in which role she first be
came prominent. 'Her performance of
“Carmen” has met with tne most fulsome
praise. In appearance she is -peculiarly
adapted to the bewitching Spanish Gipsy,
and she plays the character with that be
witching abandon and subtlety that bad
much to do with the original story by
Prosper Merrimee. Miss Morrison’s sup
porting company is exceptionally strong.
E Iward Eisner, one of the very best of
the younger generation of loading men,
piays “Don Jose.” As a scenic produc
tion this performance is also a notewor
thy, showing as it doos a view of Seville
w-ith the famous Giralda tower, (from
which, by the way, was moddelled the
M i lison Square Garden tower fn New
York.) the “pastio” ot Lilias Pastia and
the exterior of the bull ring in Cordova.
The entire performance will be given with
a care to detail worthy of the great play.
The engagement in this city will take
place at the Academy of Music on Wed
nesday, January 12th.
SOMETHING THAT WILL PLEASE.
Next Saturday a.t matinee and night
Cpsgrove & Grant’s Comedians will be

pany consists of Ida Rogers, Will West,
Agnes Evans, Emile Heusel, Lizzie San

Frank Mack, 'Eva Leslie, E. Cosgrove. Ev
elyn Murphy, W. H. Way, Rose Leslie,
Daisy Dwyer. By this list a number of
familiar faces are called to mind, and it is
promised that the new ones are fully up
to their standard of excellence.
The piece has been revised and changed
considerably for this season, and the mu
sic, which forms a large portion of the en
tertainment, is entirely new from start
to finish. And the costumes are also new
throughout and particularly striking and
becoming. In its eight years of travel,
the “Dazzler has acquired a reputation
which places it -among the leaders in the
farce comedy field, and the performance
this season is said to be superior to any
given by this excellent organization in the
past four years.

„ BOARD OF EDUCATION'
Nothing but Routine Business Transacted at
Their Meeting Last Night.
The session of the Board of Education
last night was one of routine business. The
enrollment was shown to be 8,658, which is
some less than the figures for last year.
Professor Abbott says that he does not
know whether the 7,000 mark will be
reached this year or not.
The uniform school book question did not
come up for discuslon, and it has probably
been laid on the shelf for the present at
least.
