FOR UMS ORGANIZATION AND SOCIAL Two Strong Speeches Wore Made at the Court House last Night Oy Eugene V, Debs And President Mahone. SOM i Defined and Defended by Mr. Debs Who Avows Him self a Socialist. CLIMAX IS AT HAND, He Says When the Laboring Men Representing the Socialist Vote of This Country Will Elect Their President. ■ Labor organization, trades unionism ho- I dahlia and mcial m niocra y were tiie themes at tile Bibb county court house ItiMt night, when Mr. W. 1). Mahone, of Detroit, Mid)., president of the Amalga mated Ordet of Street far Mt n, and Mr. Eugene V. Dt'bn, a recognized leader of lalror and the founder of Social Democ racy, .'poke to a large audience that. <Asm pl.t.ly filled the court ho„ae. The audience that gathered to hear the two repreH. ntativcH of a revolutionary I spirit eeejns to have been aroused among the wage earners of this country—the spirit that in ail ages has steadily per meated nations and their people, growing and swelling and evtr in ti.i dug until on a .lay the mass begins to move slowly and heavily at first but gathering speed and volume as it goes until almost without warning a mighty avalanche sweeps upon the land and .nd- in a revolution of bal- Ichh, m such a country as this, and a revo lution of blood in countries where mon archies exist was made up ot representa tives of all .d isses and professions, line dispassionately and convincingly. 'Mr. Mahonr sjsike on the subject of trades unionism and organized labor. He Im ii plain, forcible talker well prepared with facts .and with figure;-'. He offers arguments in favor of organized labor that appeal to the business man a. well as to the working man. He advocates organization not as a sen Li nw n t but as a business prop., ition and he argued on that lino dlspassion.il. ly and cone, rningly. He did not defend the mistakes made by organlzo.l labor but tie pointed the way to avoid mistakes. 'Mr. Debs In his speech went direct to the root of the evil of the commercial spirit of the age. He defined socialism and avowed himself a socialist—and so cialism from his st midpoint won the sym pathy of his hearers. Mr. Debs I.at night was earnest and powerful. He was dra matic even and intensely sensational. Ho was a revolutionist painting the hll.ou.snc.su of poverty ground under the hill of combined capital. He was pro ph, tic and thrilling in the climaxes of bis situations and then he was pleasant and c.Muforting in the proffer of a theory ' • cur- He was heard with the most int-use interest. \t times the silence was painful ami the intensity of the feeling * was evidenced by the tact that throughout >ho whole of the two speeches, lasting for two hours amt a half, not more thin three people left the room. Applause w is spar ing and waited for cause, it was not lavish or foolish in its bestowal. Mr. Million,- folks. Tlie meeting last night was op. ned Iv. Mr. .lames Davidson, wiio introduc. d Mr. W. D. Mahone, ol Detroit, Mich, president of the Amalgamated Association of Street Car .Men. in opening his speech Mr. Mahone said that he had b<< n invited to address tin meeting on the principles of organized la bor. He pron.istd to be brief, because he said his audit nee would prefer to hear -Mr. Debs. His trip through the South had been, lie said, primarily for the order ot which he represented, and next for tin federation of trade. He was in M i.-on to address his hearer: on tiie subject of trades unionism, a term which is misunderstood. I’lie trades union is a product of tin present eomnureial age. he said. It is a business organization. Mr. Mahone illus trated trades unionism by an incident in the work of the older of which he is pres ident, which happened in Philadelphia. The illustration pointed essentially to the fact that tlu association was a business organization. The policy of the business world today is to get labor at the cheapest price -treating it as a commodity. How to d.al with the question of the value of labor is the gr<at question before the labor unions. Labor should be formed into business organizations. It should go to the employers and say. We have tin product which j.u seek; we control tin product, and wo propose to soil the small est number of hours at the highest pos sible price." Labor organizations had. he said, made their mistakes, but hi' would rather stand before the throne of God to answer for the mistakes made bj the labor organizations than to answer for the mistakes made by the corpora lions in the lone state ot Geor gia. The trades unionists today are trying to teach the laboring man the value of labor. The wage worker, standing alone, amounts to nothing. His only hope is to organize. He would not dwell very long, lie said, on the reasons why men should organize. Every sensible man and woman knows that. I.abor Builds Palaces, Labor, he said, builds the palaces and lives in huts, weaves the Line raiment and goes in rags, raises the golden grain and starves. Why not organize, then? Mr. Mahone said that if a death angel were to visit the home of the workers in the cotton mills in Macon there would not l>e enough cotton in the home to make shrouds for the dead bodies. Something is evidently wrong. Capital | has organized the mills. Labor is in a hopeless condition, opposed to such organ ization on the part ot capital without or ganization itself. lie ami his colleagues are charged with being agitators and demagogues. Those who did so bad not looked at the condi tions that produced organized labor. It organized labor is wrong, the conditions • that produce it are wrong. Some people say that organization has not accomplished much iu this country. > but those who said so had not been mem- I bers of a trades union. It was true that not enough had been accomplished, be cause wage earners had not sufficiently ! seen the importance ot organization. ' j Mr. Mahone said that he found the same conditions existing in the Southern cities I as had existed in the North and East many j years ago. He himself had worked sixteen and eighteen hours a day on a street car j when the Humane Society only allowed j the mules to work three hours a day. An eighteen or sixteen hours day is ’ an unknown thing. Looking over the col- i unins of The Evening News, Mr. Mahone said he bad found that the street ear own- I era had tried to make their employes work eighteen hours a day at 10 cents afi hour, i The citizens of Macon should protest, and : did protest successfully, through The j News. The lives of their children were un- ■ safe, and a man who works sixteen hours I a day is unfit to work. The business men should realize that a i man who gets 10 cents an hour for his work ean buy little of their merchandise, and therefore the business men should pro test, because the cutting’ of the wages of the men meant the removal of money from ’ the town. It tak, s money from the mer i chants. The business man should be the ! , fi.-< nds of an organization that increases ; ! wages and .shortens hours. Organization > ecessa ry. The m et-sity for organization is appar- • • ni to • v. iy one and especially to the man • wno travels. The parks of great cities .-warm with discontented men, idle and ' unuOt to get work, while the factories swarm with stunted children. ’i tie only hope, tor freedom from these l condition.-! is organization. The mother and ; the ci*U»i must be taken from the factories | and tin workshops. We want to place the I woman in the home and the child iu tne 1 schools. The hope of the nation is its ' cltil'Biood, ami the childhood of the nation i is being stunted in the- workshops and the improved machinery, made for the ben | efit of mankind, has been made a curse. I it ha thrown the father on the highway I and the child into the factories. What hope has the wage earner for his ! children? The situation is alarming. For thirty day.-;, tin speaker said, he and Mr. i Del,;- had worked in i'< nnsyivania and Vir i t'.aia void mine regions. They had found i squalor and poverty and utter hopcless i '1 he Southern laboring man, said Mr. Ma hone, is prejudic'd against organized la- I bor. It is called un-American and un- ■ triotic it is, but the man who says that I know bow capital loves the flag or how pa ; triotic lie is. but the man who says that loi n.H.izi d labor is unpatriotic does not I know what h< talks about. If it is unpa triotic to protect the home and the wives and the children of the wage earners, then he w ished to be unpatriotic. Tin- spirit of organized labor, Mr. Ma lione said, came over with the pilgrims in the Mayflower. Tin y came to find a coun try that afforded them liberty and hope. They planted the seed of co-operation on I the rock-bound shores of New England. I They called for equity, and the man who I today waits on capital to set a fair price on his labor waits in vain. I npatriotic Capital The unpatriotic side of labor is repre sented, said Mr. Mahone, in tne Carnegies and the Pullmans, who take the hard e.irm d money of American workers to buy castles iu Scotland or in Italy, or husbands among the snobocracy of the old world. That is the un-American side of labor. It is said, too, that labor goes on strikes. We seek, said Mr. Mahone, to get labor united. When it is united the other fellow will have to strike, it is only disorganized labor that strikes. Mr. Mahone drew attention to the dif ference between the time when the coal barons raist d the price of coal ami the I>oor people suffered from cold. No in junctions were issued and no coal opera tors wt re shot down. But when the wage arm r: asked for more wages .njuuelions flew tlii 1; and fast and they cried, "Shoot tin m down.” Tin merchants, the saloon keepers all have their prices on their goods, but when labor sets a price on its brawn and sinew they cry "Strike,” and say, “Shoot him down.” Organized labor, said Mr. Mahone, is not irreligious. Every Christian should be a friend to organized labor, for it seeks to put the wage earners in a position to better in this life. Tiny say it is a ballot question. It is first a question of education. "Ballots and not bullets" sounds grand, but we have been ballottiug for a hundred years. The first thing lie had ever heard, said the ;'p. aker, was protection of the American laborer. i.abor looks upon the politicians as a very tricky set. The politicians have stolen the sheep out of the lot of labor and have sold them to it again. The politicians are tricky. They say don’t organize; just vote, said Mr. Ma hone, and we've been voting. About Protection, AVhen the advance agent of Hanna— Prosperity—came, he said to the wage earners, you must vote for protection of American labor. They have got protection ami prosperity in the New England states to tlie tune of a 20 to 25 per cent, reduc tion. The only protection the wage earner got ficin the Republican politician was when the Pinkertons and police, armed with rifles, protected the American laborer from the organizer ami prevent'd the mine worker from hearing jhe speaking of the organizer. Mr. Mahone touched upon silver He said they might raise the altar of free sil ver on every hill and in every valley, but it availed the American laborer nothing unless he v.as organized and was in a po sition to demand his share of a prosperity that would come under the free and unlim ited coinage of silver. The machinists of England are on a strike', and they tire told by the employers: "We cannot compete with the cheap labor of America," and in Aim riea they say: "We cannot compote with the cheap labor of England." In the North they say: “We annot compete with the cheap labor of the South.” and in the Soutii they say: “We e.annot e<>mpete with the cheap labor of New England.” Capital has no flag, no country .and no God. Labor must organize to save this country and to save its peo ple. The war of the sixties was for the pur pose of wiping out slavery. Chattie labor was wiped out. but teday corporations en throned have enslaved not only the negro, but has bound the hands of white men and women. We' find them working children at 50 cents a week. Where are we drifting? Thi y are introducing paeons now. w’e are drifting towards paeonage. Business men ire paeons, but business men should or ganize and they must organize to protect themselves and they must stand with la bor. The railroad companies are going into’business and are running grab-trains in the South in competition with the bus iness men. If we unite and rally there is a hope, said Mr. Mahone. There is no coercion at the polls when there is organization. The hope of this country is with organized workmen, not with disorganized workmen, and not with capital, Eagpne V ticks Ajnin. Hon. Eugene V. Debs was introduced by Mr. Davidson. Mr. Debs commenced by saying that he hated slavery, as does every free man. The wage slave of today is immeasurably bet ter off than the chattel slave of forty years ago. The chattel slave had a commercial value. He was worth taking care of. The wage slave is the slave of a corporation and works under such conditions as cor porate capital fixes. A few men may es cape and go to the top. Those who do so take credit and call themselves self-made men and claim that others could do so if they would. But some men are endowed with forces by nature which enable them to become rich and to rise, while others remain poor for the same reason. Mr. Debs said that he proposed to strike at the root of the evil. There is no hope for the wage earner until the competition i system has ijeen abolished. Why should not every man be able to work for himself? If a man will work let him get the bene fit. If he does not work, then neither shall he eat. the system of individualism has suc- I long as a man has been able to j obtain work. But today it takes not one ■ man but a number of men to produce an i article. We must reach a system where j there shall not only be association in pro- ■ dv.'tiou but association in distribution. I nder the present system a wage worker ; is denied the right to work unless he parts I with four-fttths of his toil to go as profit to a man who produe'es nothing. •Nou-Productive Class, M e have a number of commercial trav j eltrs who are nice men, said Mr. Debs, but | t the y produce nothing. They are made nec- I . es'i'.ry : y the competitive system. Four- ; I fifths of the workers are not productive. : Lawyers and judges are made necessary by ! I the competitive system. I M hen the fathers first met, said Mr. \ : Debs, they did not think of prosperity. It j was not included in the Declaration of In- ‘ dependence. They believed that life was sacred and liberty was sacred, but thought nothing of property. Millions of our people are begging for the right to live. The sight of the wage worker going from door to door begging DEMOCRACY. for work that his loved ones may live is awful. It is. said Mr. Debs, the most mel ancholy of spectacles. No man has a guarantee that he has a job. And as the competitive system grows the opportuni ties grow less. “What will you do with your children?" asked Mr. Debs. Learn a trade? No. The machine has absorbed the trade, a few may stili pay. but human ingenuity is at work and the skilled labor is being driven out. Because some railroad men still get the wages they used to get some will tell you that for this reason wages have not been reduced- But the ca pacity of engines has been doubled and now one t ain does the work of three trains formerly. It is g< ttlng harder and harder to get work Th' nif you are thoughtful you will ask yovit.t if what will you do with your chile >en? Possibly your children will be made the slaves of cruel masters. If a girl, perhaps driven into the sweat shops or into prostitution. '1 li< Aiveat Miops. Mr. Debs spoke of the sweat shops, lie said that they were impossiole ot descrip tion, but he essayed to do so, and drew a hideous picture ot tiiem as fie had seen them in New York. Wiiat incentive have the workers in the sweat shops to become good men and wo men ? The argument of capital is that tlie pres ent conditions have been in existence for hundreds of years ami will contiue to uo so. "If I thought that,” said Mr. Debs, “1 would commit suicide. ' Mr. uebs then drew a vivid picture of tin difference between the lite, the home and tne family of the section hand as rep resenting labor and those of the rich man. The rich man says that the section hand cannot appreciate refinement. Change the children oi the two while they infants and they will grow up the oue relined and tne other bestialized regardless of parent age according to their surroundings. It is altogether a question of opportunity, said Mr. Debs, as to how our children grow up. Unless it is possible for all men to be happy, creation is a mistake. There is material enough to make homes for all human beings and men enough to maKe tiiem. The system he seeks, Mr. Debs says, is based upon economic equality, and in due course of time social and economic eman cipation will have been reached. Under the present system a man must be either a millionaire or a mendicant. He lias |5,000 invested now. It may make him a living. Five years from now it will not, and five years from now the ?5,000 capi talist will have disappeared. Mr. Debs said that the change was at hand. We have, he said, lived in the midst of a revolution for the last twenty live years, and before the new century dawns the end will have been reached. It is not a remote end; it is close at hand, though some people will tell you that it is far oil. It comes faster and faster and faster and more surely every day. Everything is to be monopolized. In the South not much is known, but it is com ing. In St. Louis the other day all the wholesale groceries organized. The result will be that they will discharge all their drummers and will cease to advertise. VVltulesalc Trusts. In Chicago a large wholesale grocery trust is to be organized and will have blanch houses in every city. They will crush out the small men. The meat men must go, and they wiil crush out the gro cers next. They are doing it now. In less than twenty-four months the meat trust, composed of four individuals, will control the meat of the country. Business men are interested and here in Macon they will be reached by tne trusts, said Mr. Debs. They will be reached for two reasons. First the wage worker is either out of work or he is getting a small Concentrated capital is after you. Tlie business man is being crushed between the upper and nether millstones of corporate capital and reduced purchasing power. We must come either to an oligarchy of wealth with ail the money in the hands of a few and the rest all slaves, or the co operative system with freedom lor all. We are going to develop a collective ownership of land and every man and all men will work a resonable number of hours at what nature intends he should work at. Every man will work enough to produce what he needs. Now one man is crippled because he does no work and the other because he does too much. Everything in creation is in co-operation except the system under which we live. Tlie human system is co-operative, the so lar system is co-operative. Work today is diudgery under the competitive system. Individual capital and labor cannot be har monized. In New England they have cut the wages of 25,000 men, amounting to $90,000 a week and lay it on the pauper labor of the Southern states. Mr. Debs said he was not a calamity howler, lie is full of hope, he says. He simply describes the facts as they exist. The patient is sick and he tries to diag nose the malady. We are dying from competitive smallpox, but as the competi tive system gives away, the co-operative system is developing. Abuut SoeialiNiii. The postoffice system is socialistic. The people are against socialism, but there is no man who is against socialism who knows what it is. • Socialism is Christian ity in action. It observes the rule "Do unto others what you would that they should do unto you.” Socialism, says Mr. Debs, is the salva tion of this country. It is the one move ment developing throughout the world. It is the only system under which war will be no more. A socialist believes in the brotherhood of the race. "1 am," said Mr. Debs, “a socialist.” He asked his hearers to investigate the question of socialism. A socialist never goes backward, he said. He is not crowded or stampeded. He increases in number. It is the only vote that increases. This fall 1,000,000 socialist votes will be cast in this country, and Mr. Debs said that he would not wonder to see a socialist pres ident elected in 1900, and predicts that surely one will be elected in 1904. Mr. Debs has not the slightest resent ment for a man who differs with him, he said. Men may disagree yet be friends. He advocated no change that would do his hearers any injustice. He sought his free dom through the freedom of others. The helping of oneself by the helping of others, is the quinteseenee ot co-operation. Mr. Debs urged his hearers to read and inform themselves on this subject. The cause is at present an unpopular cause. All great causes are unpopular. He said that he did not want to be called a leader —a leader implied a follower and he did not want them to follow, but to join hands in the movement. He urged organization and asked them to join the party of Social Democracy to work politically towards the attainment of a particular end. In conclusion Mr. Debs thanked his au dience for their temperate hearing of him self and his audience. He expressed himself as grateful to The Evening News for their report of his Mon day night’s speech, which he termed a masterpiece, and he urged his hearers and the working people to read The ?Wws.

RIVAL Object is to Contiol Bicycle Races in this Country. The question most prominently before the bicycle world now is whether the League of American Wheelmen is to have a rival in the racing department of cy cling. Former attempts have been made to take from the league the absolute control of the racing, and none have been successful. No organization of private individuals has been found strong enough to beat down the prestige gained by the L. A. W. In its years of existence. Rumors have been in circulation all over the country regarding some associa tion that was to take hold of the bicycle racing and manage it. The names of some •three or four men are said to be among those conected with the organization. It Is certain that some of the riders have received offers within the last few days by men who were sent to sound them on the question of racing on circuit tracks an other year. If the League of American Wheelmen decides to abandon bicycle racing. i.t can be safely said that before twenty-four hours have elapsed a newly organized as sociation will be on hand to control it. Cycle racing wil be on a larger and more costly basis this year than ever be fore. The greatest contest ever arranged is now being planned by the big men in rhe cycle world. The best and the fastest middle distance kings will be the contest ants, and the purse wil be $20,000. Chicago is being considered for the scene of this attractive contest, but it is more likely that Greater New York will secure the plum. Acording to a dispatch from Gotham, a one-hour indoor race is being arranged between the four fastest middle distance cyclists of the world, with pacemakers, so ■ the largest purse ever offered i t the world for a similar eveat. Jimmy Mirbatl the undisputed peer of any cyclist, will be one of the contestants. At the present indications Taylore, Chase, Lesna. Linton and Stocks will be some of the competitors, while all of the Americans cracks, including Hamilton, Gardiner, McDuffie, Johnson, Mertens, Sangor and Starbuck, will also receive in vitations to participate in another series. The winner of these two series and a third rider will be selected will then meet Mi chael in the final, and the victor will be termed the champion of the world. For the final the best riders in t!he world will be secured for pacemaking purposes, and the manager of each competitor may em ploy as many multicycles as he sees fit I '’-Si # w Swift’s H1 'I is a vegetable remedy that drives the destroying demons of disease out of the blood.
