J have been taking yotir ;*|>cr I Hit n
abort Um», and ai« raiwiingly well
pleased with it. And 1 am becoming
mui'huWt lu(«< rated every day in the
progress and prosperity c£ the Knights
of Labor. I ant not a wage-earner, but
have always been engaged in some use
ful enterprise, or business—including
fanning. Yet I have always felt more
or less interest in the welfare of the
work-people—especially those employed
in factories, where so many children are
compelled to work many hours in a de
bilitating atmosphere under regulations
sometimes cruel, for small pay.
But I think one reason why the wage
earner is imposed on is that the indiffer
ence manifested by our legislators, and
then the indifference of voters—includ
ing workers —as to whom they vote for
as legislators. The legal fraternity mo
nopolize the offices, as if there were no
mechanics, merchants or farmers with
sense or education enough to perform the
duties of them. There are hundreds, if
not thousands, belonging to either of the
classes mentioned quite as capable of fil
ling any position, from President down,
as amongst the lawyers—men who would
be better informed as to the wants of the
people, and more in sympathy with them.
Let us have a change. The laboring
class would rejoice to see Dr. Felton or
some ona like him Governor of Georgia.

Augusta, Ga.
Editor Working World:
I have traveled extensively over the
State recently, especially over Middle
and North Eastern Georgia, and I find
the people disgusted with political can
didates for Governor; but ripe for a gen
uine peoples’ candidate, without regard
to past political affiliations.
The people say that Hon. W. H. Felton
of the countv of Bartow? is their choice,
over either of the other distinguished cit
izens mentioned, and express the opinion
that if this much esteemed citizen would
signify his willingness to serve his fel
low citizens as Governor, he would
sweep the State. Clarke.

Southern Iron.
' The New Orleans Times-Democrat in a
recent issue published a very interesting
history of Southern iron- It seems that
* the manufacture in this section is by no
means of recent origin, and indeed that
the search for the metals was more zeal
ous and eager in colonial days than now,
while the art of iron-making in the
South was in greater perfection before
the revolution than it has been since.
Our New Orleans contemporary state:
that the earliest information that iron
existed in America came from North
Carolina. whfire the expedition fitted out
Tbbff discoW.nl
iron me on a reconnoissance up the Roa
noke. As early as 1608 iron and iron ore
were exported from the Virginia colony
to England. For some time before the
rupture with the mother country the iron
industry of Maryland and Virginia had
grown to considerable importance. One
enterprise in the former colony is espe
cially worthy of attention, since among
its founders—and, later, among its man
agers—we find the names of Augustine
and Lawrence Washington, father and
brother to the liberator. The blast fur
*ace in which these gentlemen were
interested was erected by the
Principio Company, on Principio creek,
in Cecil county, Maryland. Later, the
same company bought land of Captain
Augustine Washington at Accokeek, in
Virginia,and thereon put up another plant
and still another—the Kingsbury fur
nace—in Baltimore county. In 1751 the
company owned and worked four fur
naces and two forges. It is stated that
about one-half the pig iron exported
from the colonies was produced by this
company.
General Washington was thus per
fectly familiar with the fact that the
South was rich in manufacturing and
mineral resources, and always believed
that the Southern section of the country
would, eventually, become the leading
industrial region of the continent. The
devotion to agricultural pursuits hereto
fore exhibited by our people have de
layed the fulfillment of these predictions
and prevented us from making such
headway as we should. The day is at
hand now, however, when the far-sight
ed sagacity of the Father of His Coun
try is being vindicated, for Southern
manufactures are increasing rapidly and i
steadily, while already we are enabled to j
successfully compete with the iron in
dustries of Pennsylvania, notwithstand
ing that they have been developed for a
ong period, and given all the assistance
faat capital and governmental protection
«ould afford during many years.
[A large portion of Georgia, especially
abelt between South Carolina and Ala
bama, mostly jgorth of, but travsversed
bythe Chatahoochee and Etowah rivers, I
is particularly rich in iron ore of very
superior quality. The late Hon. M. A.
Covper sent some from his Bartow coun
ty property to England many years ago,
where it was manufactured into steel and
razors of the finest quality made of it.
In territory now comprised in Madison
and Habersham counties, iron was made
—or hammered, by primitive methods, I
directly from the ore —before and during
the revolutionary war.—W. W.j

Owing to the labor troubles there is
great depression in the building trade in
many cities. Builders and contractors
are afraid to make contracts to build

Fully twenty thousand tailors and

A new song entitled “The Noble

Missouri farmers are rapidly organiz

When Knights of Labor, and the high

Quite recently there appeared a call
signed by five officers of as many trades
unions for a conference in Philadelphia
of all trades union officers to
“devise means to protect our organi

bo destroyed,” etc. The call indirectly
reflects on the K. of L. The Tocsin says
it has “ received letters from some of the
1 signers ’ stating that they never append-;
ed their names to any such call ” This ;
looks bad for the promoters of the con
ference. There is no doubt that there is
“ nigger in the wood-pile” in this row
that has been stirr ed up between trades
unionists and K. of L., and it is to be
hoped the K. of L. and unionists true to
the cause of labor will, by conservatism
and calm < onference settle all differences
and expose the conspirators, their meth
ods and aims, and thereby put all labor
organizations on guard against their fu

THE FACTORY GIRL’S WAIL.
From out the factory gate there came
A maid of tender years;
With downcast eyes she wandered forth.
Her cheeks bedewed with tears.
“ Hal'd is the lot of a factory girl,”
Were the words I heard her say;
“ The sneers and frowns of an angry boss
And scanty, too, the pay.
“ Eleven long hours I toil each day.
Within a noisome room.
Amid the din of clashing wheels,
The clinking of the loom,
Inhaling foul and nauseous air,
And fined for faults unknown;
Ah, often times I’m made to feel
That life is not my own.
“ What better am I than a slave.
That’s in the market sold,
To swell the tyrants pilfered wealth,
And whet hie greed for gold ?
A slave no longer then I’ll be;
Whatever be my fate.
My footsteps never shall be set
Inside a factory gate.
“Os justice I have heard men boast,
Os freedom heard men speak ;
But none of these blessed rights
Are for the poor or weak;
Might is the weapon tyrants wield
Against the toiler’s rights.
To crush their endless efforts
. Aftfldefeat their glorious tights."

“We find it on our road, the Central
Pacific, more satisfactory to us and to

the men to work as long as they choose.
I find that the greater part of them usu
ally prefer to work ten hours. These
men have labor to sell, and the amount
they sell of it we leave to their own
’ judgment.
I have never had a fair opportunity to
study the workings of the eight-hour
law, but I believe the average of intelli
gence and ambition among the working
men in this country is greater than any
where else in the world- There are al
ways men in every community who will
waste their time, no matter how much
they may have, but the majority of them
will improve their leisure, either by study
or in physical recreation, which is just as
important.”
The competition system is fitly repre
sented by the human family hand in

where each is with diabolical determina

the same damnable spirit is putting each
in. That is, each against each, each
against all, all against each, and the
crater for everybody. Debt is the crater,
usuryjis lhatforce fills it. Law is the ex
pression of that force, and greed is moth
er to the law. Greed and hatred are
synonyms. Greed, then, is the anthithe
sis of love. Love works no ill to its
neighbor. Greed works naught but ill
to him—like Cain, it is not its brother’s

The Warns of the Land
The Knigbte of Lutat have done and
are doing n.nre for women than any
■ omen’s Rights I jaagtir ever at tempted.
; They give women equal right* of mem
' liership. They demand equal pay for
: equal work, whether performed by man
:or woman ; and by seeking to rwtrict
the employment of women and children
in factories, they give employment to
more men, and enable them to sup
port wives and families in comfort, in
stead of dooming both men and women
to continuous physical labor wk waires
barely sufficient to sustain life. Is not
this a movement which should com
mand the respect and assistance of every
honest man and woman ?
If there is one class on the face of the
earth, says the Texarkana Workman,
who deserve the sympathy, the earnest
efforts of organizations as well as legis
lative enactments, it is the women of
America. The condition of the seam
stresses, the factory girls and other
branches of business where they are em
ployed has been depicted in language
that fires the sympathetic heart, and de
mands the most strenuous efforts to
ameliorate it. The heroism, devotion,
patriotism, unfailing, patient and un
complaining forbearance and meek
ness of the women of America, are both
widely known and world-renowned.
The lowly laborer adores the wife,
mother and sister with as deep, lasting
and undeviating devotion, as the richest
millionaire in the land. He is as jealous
of her fair name and fame as the bluest
blooded aristocrat of Virginia. Nay,
more so. The toils and cares of this class
bring them into closer communion and
intensifies their affection, thrice cement
ed in the crucible of life’s struggles and
sorrows. He realizes fully her condition.
He feels and knows the heavy hand of
oppression laid upon her delicate organi
zation. He has felt the sting of dis
grace and debasement to body and soul,
which grim want has led her into. He
has seen the insults heaped upon her,
because of her humble lot in life, by the
villains and scoundrels in the shape of
manhood, who deem that poverty has
no virtue and the lowly have no honor.
Now the noble order of the Knights of
Labor, rise up in their might and man
hood, and demand that she shall have
equal pay for equal work ; that she and
her children shall be kept out of the dan
gerous influences of employments that
are a drain upon their physical powers
and a menace to their virtue and morali
ty. Poverty is no disgrace, and beneath
its patched garments beat loyal hearts,
transcendent beauty, lofty aspirations
and perfect manhood and womannood.
No nobler work was ever conceived—
no more glorious undertaking inaugurat
ed—than this protection and elevation
of women by the Knights of Labor. It
stamps them as the champions of a
movement which commands the respect,
admiration and assistance of every hon
est, Christian and high-minded man and
w.finan-hi tho land. The elevation of
woman in her social status, in intelli
gence and the graces, means the pro
gression of society in all those elements
which purify, ennoble and raise humani
ty in the conception of the true aims and
purposes of life. —Labor Lance.

REV. SAM JONES,
A NTI OY OF THK NOTED SOtTHt- I
ERM KU A Mill. INTN MANNER.
Not an Orator, "a« Rrntua la,” bm
Swaying Ilia Auditors with
Karneatneaa and a Flood
of Thought.
Sam Jones, if questioned about the
secret of his influence upon the masses nf I
people who throng in thousands to Lear ■
Ctffi “'g—..L-.v-uf uo
might say with modesty and with
some truth what Mark Antony said with
subtlety:
I am no orator as Brutus is,
But as you know me all, u plain, blunt man.
He makes a queer impression upon one
who looks at him over a long stretch of
masses of heads and tries to estimate his
qualities as a speaker. But the first idea
is, what a magnificent audience. The
big, low-roofed hall is packed with peo
ple, and the banks of spectators slope up
to the ceiling on all sides. The form that
rises upon a platform almost in the centre
has the eyes and ears of all that vast as
semblage. There is no greater oppor
tunity for eloquence; for the speaker has
an audience that hushes its chattering
curiosity to catch his every word, and he
has a theme above aUnother themes that
have called forth eloquence.
The figure is not an impressive onp in
its quiet conventionality. The speaker
in a cutaway coat showing his watch
chain might be taken for a well-to-do
clerk or engineer. The first peculiarity
is noticed when he lifts his hands. The
lanky, cuffleas wrists contrast strangely
with the white-collared neck. But Mr.
Jones has not overlooked an article of his
dress. When he lifts his arms in apos
trophe or ptayer that stretch of bare
wrist has its proper dramatic effect. He
is a man who is appealing to the people,
and he does not wish to have any more
starch about him than is necessary. The
voice has a plaintive as well as a penetra
tive quality; it rises and falls, slowly,
drawling, and with every phase tippod
with a rising inflection and a twang. It
is not wearisome; it is soothing. It is
the voice of one who has never been in
much of a hurry, and it might have taken
its melancholy color from the loneliness
of the mountains. It is homely, but not
rude.
The sermon begins and one wonders at
the speaker’s fluency. He takes an idea
and he spreads it out as thinly as they
spread the butter on the bread at a
charity school. Ho is never at a loss
for an idea, for he keeps ringing
the changes on the old one till
something else occurs to him. When
he feels for something frosh, he passes
his hand slowly over his head, running
his fingers lightly through his hair. He
seems to have the assurance of innocence
itself; thoughts panting for utterance do
not stumble or crush each other at his lips;
he never suffers from the rush of ideas to
the brain. Other men may tremble or
flush with the message that is in them and
struggling for deliverance, but Sam Jones
has a calm consciousness of power that
would well become a power that was
greater.
; He soon makes a joke. There is a rip
ple of applause and a great gratified
cackling. The fringe of spectators near
the doors who have been sitting and
staring at one another with the indiffer
ence of sight-seers suddenly crane tboir
necks and cackle with the rest. That
is undoubtedly what some of them hava
been waiting for. It is said that Amer
icans are flippant. Some, indeed, speak
of their flippancy as irreverence. But
there are others that hold humor, even if
it sometimes run away from the apron
strings of taste, is a healthy child and
will grow up rugged and manly. Mr.
Jones, it would hardly be original to say,
is a humorist. It may be questioned
whether the tragedy of life has impressed
him deeply, but it is certain that the comedy
has touched him acutely. But stop. He
strikes a pathetic chord. He speaks of
maternal love. The tone is true, but not
overwhelming. An orator would have
swayed that vast audience, and for a
single instant perhaps have fused all
souls in a single flame of feeling. Mr.
Jones is not the master of his hearers.
There is something wanting in him to
give him absolute control. The expres
sion of indifference returns.to some faces,
the sfrille of amusement to others, a.id
the loose, flowing sentences slope lazily
through the air. Now and then, when a
point is to be made, the speaker stoops
low, and lifting himself high while
sweeping his arms, gives forceful utter
ance to some epigrammatic thought.
This is what breaks the monotony at in
tervals. Once an imaginstive flight is
attempted—the description of a caravan
in the desert sending the cry of “Water
found” from one veice to another toward
the rear. The figure is a fine one, the
simile as it is applied is apt; but before
the effect of what is really eloquent is
obtained the speaker branches off on a
trivial story.
It may be said that what is the best in
Bam Jones is his easy, familiar way. The
very fact that he takes no pains with
words or with calculating effects proves
that he is not a really great speaker.
There is something more than instinct in
the triumphs of great word-builders and
great word-utterers. There is work,
hard, patient, and sometimes painful.
Mr. Jones’ fluency is at once his gift
and his fatal defect. He may convince'
many of the people who hear him; but
be does not thrill them with enthusiasm,
The word “brother” is scattered through
his rambling discourse, and the kindly,
off-hand way in which it is spoken makes
it effective. It is the best thing he does.
The people in the building go scramb
ling out as soon as he is through; they
have listened to one of their own kind,
speaking in their own everyday way, of
duty and of other things: they have been
interested; they have been tickled—noth
ing more, unless one be permitted to as
sume that they have been bettered by
vhat they have heard.— Chicago Tribune.
