EUGENE m SOUNDS KEYNOTE OF A GREAT REVOLUTION. His Stiffing Speech at the Academy of Music Last light Heard by Over a Thousand People With Wrapt Attention, CO-OPERATION [ Is the Whole Thing in a Nut shell and is the Foun dation 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.

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.

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.
