II, laid never at ,*il >1 is ome tii tiie causes is tlint we have allowed thill) tc lie done under tin- knights of labor, for which the organization was in no way responsible. I ask or our liielnliers io keep a .jealous eye upon the di ings of labor men w'lio never labor and wiitn they eliurge anything to our order in your locality, set the sea! of your condemnation at once by denying it. If the ptiper criticises the knights of labor or its officers, do not boy cott. and if you have any such! boycotts on, remove them. A journal not long since made some uncom plimentary allusions to the general master workman of the Knights of'Labor. and at the next meeting of the nearest assembly a motion was passed to boycott the paper; not that alone, but every per son who advertized in the columns of the paper. I wrote to the assembly, asking that they remove the boycott, and it was done. We must bear in mind that the general master workman is only a man. and dot above criticism. ' We demand for ourselves the right of free speech. We cannot consistently deny it to others. We must tolerate fair, open criticism. If a reply is necessary, make it in a gentlemanly', dignified man ner. If we are criticised or abused by a blackguard sheet, treat it as you would a blackguard himself—in silence. That our aims and objects are good is no reason why our members should Vie regarded us beings of superior build or material. We are no more the suit of the earth than the millions of unknown toilers who do the work of the world. “In our dealings with laborers and capi talists we must oeal justly and fairly by them. If we would have it equally done to us, we in turn must do equally to others. This is the aim of the knights of labor and must not be lost sight ol in the future. “Let me direct your .intention to a few little abuses. 1 rind that whenever a strike occurs appeals for aid are scattered Do uicb mite.

If I kill my enemy I silence him. it is true, but • 1 .do not convince him. i would make a convert rather than a corpse of my enemy. The men who own canita! arc not our enemies. If that theory held good the workman of to-day would be the enemy of his fellow-toiler on to-morrow, for after all it is how to ac quire capital and how to use it properly that we are endeavoring to learn. The man of capital is not necessarily the enemy of the laborers. On the contrary, they must be brought closer together. 1 am well aware that some ex tremist will sav that 1 am advocating a weak plan, and will say that bloodshed and destruction of property alone will solve the problem. If a man speaks such sentiments in an assembly read to him the charge from which tlic master workman repeats to the newly initiated who joins the army of peace. If he repeats ins nonsense, put him •■lu the hands of men entirely ^reat the pen is mightier than the sword.*' To that I add: In the hands of men with dis cretion the gun is harmless as his sword. To dur drinking members. i extend a hand of kindness. I hate the uses to which rum has been put, but it is my duty to reach down and lift up the man who has fallen a victim to the use of liquor. If there is such a man within the sound of the secretary's voice when this is read, I ask him to stand erect on the floor ot this assembly, raise his hand to heaven and repeat these words: “I am a knight of labor. I believe that every mail should be free from the curse ot slavery, whether the slavery appears in the shape of monopoly, usury or intem perance. The firmest link in the chain of oppression is the one I forge, when I drown manhood and reason in drink. So man can rub me of the brain my God has given me unless I am a party to theft. If I drink to drown grief, I bring grief to wife, children and sorrowing frknds.

To-day I stand ready to make every honorable con cession. to do everything in lmnor to bring about a belter feeling between trades' unions and the Knights of Labor. At the special session of the general assembly the entire trouble can and must be* set tled. ll mistakes have been made. they must be rectified. JJ' wrongs have been inflicted, they mud be righted, iu.it there is one thing that will not he done while I stand at the head of t hi - organization: It will not be used to furtiu r the schemes of in dividual cliques or parti* s. and it will be subordinate to no other organization on in the ports of such foreign country, the president shall issue his proclamation lim- 1 iting the commercial privileges of vessels of the same character of such foreign coun try in ports of the United States to such ; privileges as are accorded to such Ameri can vessels.
