VO!. VU. LABOR AND INDUSTRY SOME ITEMS OF INTEREST TO UNION WORKMEN. labor Must Concentrate or It Must SufTer — International Typographical Union Relies Less on Sentiment and More on Power That Makes Things Go. The West Wind. Blow, wind*, blow out of the 'wUdeving West— The West of the setting sun, The cup that has caught the sinking light Of all the days that are done. 13Iow, winds, blow out of the clouded wake Of tire sunbeams tired of play— The beams that lean on the edge of eve And slip in the dark away. Klow over the cheek of panting hope. At rest In his goalless climb; Come back from the- toll that doubles age, And teach us the youi^er time. Chasten the lip of the bitter cup I stained with a sin of yore. And biing it back till I taste again Of the sweets I left before. Give birth to Joy In my heart, grown old In the history of its grief, And death to pain while his fangs are dull. The sting of their poison, brief. Blow, winds, blow out of the grave of light; Come up from the tomb of day. And lead all the spirit lovers back From the dreams I dreamed away. Blow, winds, but loave the sun of the East— Not long may I hold him guest— For he will turn with the tide of noon. While I sink Into the West. —J. A. Coll In "Midland Magazine.” fn Heady Cash There Is Strength. Day by day it becomes very apparent that labor must meet capital on more nearly equal ground by opposing or ganizutiou of men to organization of money. It is idle to think that close and ever closer organization of capital ran be prevented. Xerxes tried to chain the tide, but it rushed past his chain; he then chastised the dlsobodlcitt wa t«rs by hc-ating them with rods, but It is not of record that he hurt them. The world has come to the conclusion that Xerxes wasn’t wise. Yet now there exist legislators and economists who want to do exactly what Xerxes tried to do. They want to “stop" profitable concentration by having congress and state legislatures say that there shall be no more concentration. However, not all men are descendants of the foolish Persian potentate. The wage trust Is already casting Its shadow be¬ fore. The organization of a union of 600,000 workmen in Greater New York has been begun by a committee ap¬ pointed by the Central Federated union. Mr. William A. Perrin*, secre¬ tary of the Iron Holders’ Conference board, and one of the leading members of the committee, said: “This new union will be one of the biggest local central labor bodies on the face of the earth. All the unions In the five bor¬ oughs of New York city will Join. It will be more powerful than many great national and international unions, and will have more influence In New York city than any labor organ¬ ization which ever existed. The busi¬ ness of conducting the big bodies which now exist independently will be great¬ ly facilitated. Employes will also ben¬ efit by the centralization of central la¬ bor unions in New Y'ork city. Strikes are bound to become fewer in number year after year through the influence of the great central organization. The principle of arbitration will triumph at last. For twenty years the bricklay¬ ers’ union have had no strikes, because all bricklayers have been In one union. There are many fine examples of the centralization fo be found in Greater New York.” It Is not a matter ot choice with labor whether it will con¬ centrate its forces, other than the choice between adopting the only avail¬ able means of self-defense, or per Ishing. International Typographical. A few days ago the International Typographical union met in annual convention in Detroit, Mich. It was the largest convention ever held by the union. It was up to date. It believed In usings the power of eoneentration and money, rather than resorting to open breaks between employer and em¬ ploye. It was prudent. It believed that it is wise in time of peace to prepare for war. It realized that you cannot, as a rule, get a good thing without pay¬ ing it; so it adopted the following: ‘•Resolved, further, That every member .shall pay, in addition to the 30 cents before mentioned in this section, the sum of 10 cents per month, the money so collected to be converted, as each <1,000 Is accumulated, into United States bonds or securities of equal sta¬ bility, the same to be known as the permanent defense fund, in the keeping of the executive council, the Interest on which, after the $100,000 shall have been accumulated, shall be turned over to the temporary defense fund, by which name the union fund shall be known, In charge also of the executive council, the further disposition of the permanent defense fund to rest solely with the International Typographical union, ae determined by the referen- THE <7 RECORD. KOI DEVOTED TO THE INTEREST OF JOHNSON COUNTY AND MIDDLE GEORGIA. VVItIGnTSVIliLE. GA.. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1899. Sum.” One hundred thousand dollars is much money, but it will not take many men long to accumulate it, and money talks every time in business. Then the convention did another very good thing. It wants official printing everywhere done by union men. The Official printing of Michigan is not done by union men. So the executive council was authorized to expend not mere than 510,000 for the purpose of securing the Michigan state printing contract for a firm that will enter into an agreement to employ union labor exclusively. It's a matter of politics who gets the state contracts. Money tulles in politics. The Typographical union is ready to talk to the extent of $10,000 to gain this particular thing it wants. Years ago this union used to rely largely on sentiment. It issued “statements” to the world, calling at¬ tention to its real or Imaginary griev¬ ances. It found that the world had lit¬ tle time to read and less inclination to heed these tules of woo. It doesn’t issue so many statements now. It does busi¬ ness, and recognizes that to do busi¬ ness with success, you must have money. So it appropriates money. The shorter workday committee pre¬ sented its final report. In the report the craft is congratulated upon the substantial progress that has been made, and it states that not the least beueficial outcome of its labors has been the mutual understanding arrived at between the employers anil the em¬ ployes of the allied printing trades. The interest of employer and employe alike can be best served, the commit¬ tee finds, by resort to a system in which negotiation is substituted for obstinate insistence on demands, and argument and reason take the place of strikes and lockouts. Massachusetts Industries. The Bureau of Statistics of Labor of Massachusetts has Issued its annual re¬ port. The number of establishments considered in the report is 4,701, as against 4,695 in 1897. The value of goods made and work done during the year in the nine leading industries was $S65,G19,1S5, of which boots anti shoes contributed $131,162,578; cotton goods, $90,986,469; leather, $25,907,780; rna clrines and machinery, $34,797,770; metals and metallic goods, $40,426,780; paper and paper goods, $28,625,357; woolen goods, $30,359,533, and worsted goods, $25,G64,722. The report shows that the production of the textile in¬ dustries in some of the cities has de¬ clined iu value. For example, Fall River, which leads in textile produc¬ tion, produced during the year textile fabric* to the value of $30,230,934, being a falling off of $3,096,454 or 9.28 per cant, as compared with 1895. It Is shown that the various mills following a systematic plan not only cut down the number of pieces of cotton cloth carried over from the preceding year, but also cut down production material¬ ly. The number of textile establish¬ ments shows a decrease of 93. The re¬ port contains a table showing the amount of capital Invested in the ing Industries, as follows: Boots and shoes, $22,414,635; cotton goods, $112,- 702,330; food preparations, $19,040,852; machines and machinery, $32,683,813; metals and metallic goods, $17,191,783; paper, $20,733,967; rubber and elastic goods, $10,875,308; woolen goods, 930,024; print works, dye works, $12,674,871. The cotton goods industry gave employment to 81,385 persons, who received In wages $26,294,240. In the boot and shoe industry 51,897 per¬ sons were employed, at wages aggre¬ gating $23,904,714, while in the pro¬ duction of machines and machinery 188,628 persons were engaged, who drew In wages $10,068,181. Unnecessary Business Disturbances. Gunton’s Magazine, a periodical discusses economic aud labor from a very fair standpoint, says Brooklyn, New York and Cleveland street car strikes are manifest unuec essary business disturbances, which need not, ought not, and would not have occurred if the management of the corporations had lived up to the spirit of the ten-hour law and recog¬ nized the now conceded right of labor¬ ers to act as organized bodies. The strikes emphasize the need of better and more intelligent organization among laborers, and of a permanent, established system of conferences be¬ tween representatives of the corpora¬ tions on one side and labor unions on the other. The Brooklyn and New York strikes were precipitated unwise¬ ly, without specific statement of a strong case, aud without unanimity among the men themselves. More ef¬ fective organization aud discussion of the case in a joint board of representa¬ tives of employers and laborers—a la¬ bor senate—would have either made the New York strikes successful or prevented them entirely, and in the Cleveland case would have forestalled the chief and almost only cause of the whole disturbance. - A rough estimate based on various reports indicates that fully 25,000 men can now find employment in the har¬ vest fields of the Dakotas, Montana and Western Minnesota. The Mine Workers’ Journal advo¬ cates a defense fund of *100,006 for that Organization, and states that it could be created without much sacri¬ fice and would insure better conditions and higher prices. • LIBERTY. POLITICAL LIBERTY THE MEANS TO THIS END. Upon the Tendencies of These Gold standard Times—Universal Monopoly To our .is Which the Ship of State Is Driving. “Take no thought, therefore, saying what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink,” etc. You are told to trust in God and all will be well in the end, and you have gone on for years trust¬ ing aud praying, but the conditions re¬ main much the same as they were years ago. I believe iu the one Go.l, I believe that this is the best world that we could live in. Even our friend. Col. Ingersoll, could not have planned it better. His striking statements were made to call attention to bigoted er¬ rors. When the laws of God and na¬ ture are obeyed it will be just as Christ said it would. We would be satisfied with the law if we did not violate it. We have political liberty. What is it but the means of getting economic liberty? There is only one way of get¬ ting a living. That is by labor. There are two ways of laboring; for your¬ self as your own employer, or for some one else for wages. When government takes away the first qpportunity it forces man to take the other, but pro¬ vides no employer. I was in Columbus this time last summer and I spoke from the state house steps. While I was there this thing was brought to my attention: They have the state prison in that city. The state house and the state prison generally go together. Once or twice a week several hundred men and wom¬ en come to the back door of the prison and beg for the scraps and bits of food that the convicts had thrown away— white men and women. And there were many in that crowd who would try to break into the prison if they thought they could stay there. In our prisons the convicts are better fed than many hundred thousands of free men. The governor of one of the western states was once himself a tramp, anti when It was proposed to whip them out of the state he said: “None of that. I was a tramp once myself, and may be again.” Thomas Jefferson once wrote: "I have never on the streets of my country seen a beggar.” He was com¬ paring this country, at his time, with the countries of Europe. There were no tramps then, but there are now. Some of us think the tramp is a hard citizen. You would be just the same sort of a fellow. I have seen tramps w! i have graduated from college with high honors—men who are well edu¬ cated. I have met men who had happy homes. But some fools say any man can get work who wants it. Some say they don’t want it. I was in the west once and was talking to a railroad' of¬ ficer. He said that they had had a great strike on that road. Seven thou¬ sand men struck and that officer said they had no trouble to fill their places immediately with 7,000 unemployed men. Yet some say that men don’t want to work. It’s a lie. Any man who has a fair chance to work would rather work than steal or beg. God never created a dishonest man. God does not make dishonest men. They are the product of unjust laws. You remember the French revolu¬ tion? In France all the lands had come Into the hands of a few people; the king and nobles and a majority of the people were depending on them for a living. The time came when these down-trodden people rose up and Paris streets ran with blood. Your country will have the same experience if you keep on fooling with the laws of God. Koine was once the mistress of the whole world. She lorded it over the other countries. But she fell, and pliny, her historian, lays the cause of her downfall to land and monopoly. JOHN S. CROSBY. "BAYONET” POINTS. Labor organizations, like almost all other organizations, are very frequent¬ ly narrow and unjust, but this fur¬ nishes no excuse for opposing them. That injustice and narrowness are not properties peculiar to them a study of ail mankind bears evidence. The la¬ bor organization grows out of the in¬ stinct of self-preservation and no man who has given their work careful con¬ sideration can deny that they have in¬ terposed a barrier to the iron pressure of the law of rent, which says that the wages of labor must be determined by the average return to the laborer from free laud, or if there is no free land worth working, by the average return to the laborer after deducting rent. It Is a pity, however, that the vast ener gies of labor organizations and tho vast sums of money they have expend¬ ed have not been devoted to secure the removal of the cancer, Instead of for palliatives, which are rendered largely Ineffectual by the laws of nature. High wages and free lands go togeth¬ er; low wages and no free lands go to¬ gether. The way, therefore, to get high wages is to get free land, and the way to get free land Is by unlocking the door to the millions upon millions of acres of laud in this country, held out of use by speculators who have in these vast natural opportunities the basis of fortunes beyond even the dreams of the lords of England. Jf It were not for the fact that ill Michigan a majority of the legislators elected must vote for a measure before it becomes a law, the right to raise necessary revenues from a single tax on land values would now be extended to every municipality within its bor¬ ders. A measure providing this only failed by one vote of becoming law and had a majority of seven out of the total number of members actually voting. This vote in Michigan is an indication of the remarkably rapid growth of the single tax movement, which, though only twenty years old, has already been partially successful In New Zealand and New South Wales, is the leading Internal issue in the politics of England outside of her for¬ eign affairs, and has a propaganda established in all the countries of Eu¬ rope, aud in Japan and China. Land values are highest where pop¬ ulation is thickest. They are created by all the community, but they are ap¬ propriated by a very small percentage of the community. Farmers, while holding large quantities of land, own very little land value. A lot was sold not long ago on Wall street, New York, at the rate of $10,000,000 an acre. This was for the land alone, as the build¬ ing which stood upon it was subse¬ quently torn down. How many farms are there in Kansas which, stripped of house, barns, fences and other im provements are worth $10 an acre? The valuo of that one acre of ground of which that lot forms a portion is equal to that of 10,000 quarter sections of the richest unimproved land to be found in the West, and yet there are farmers who imagine that a tax on land values would compel them to bear the burden of taxation. It is about time to reaffirm the Dec¬ laration of Independence. We call this our country, but more than half of us have no right to a square inch of its soil. Even In Kansas, where there are no large cities, the assessed values of town lots are considerably more than one-third of the taxable value of all real estate. — Tho rights of the living yield to the claims of the dead. The descendants of a tory who lied from New York dur¬ ing the early part of the Revolution are now claiming title to land on Man¬ hattan Island valued at $400,000,000. There is only one way for the people to obtain their rights while the pres¬ ent system of representative govern¬ ment continues. They will have to organize a lobby and go into competi¬ tion with the corporation in the busi¬ ness of buying the legislators. The land values of the city of New York amount to three thousand million dollars, almost thirty times as much as the farm values of the state of Kansas, and yet there are farmers who imagine that a tax on land values would compel them to hear the bur¬ dens of taxation. General Otis assures us in every dis¬ patch that he feels highly gratified at the progress we are making and then follows this with an announcement of the killed and wounded. The beasts of the fields have their lairs and the birds of tho air have their nests, but millions of the sons of men have no place to lay their heads which they can call their own. Three weeks ago we were assured in startling headlines that the war in the Philippines was over. We find it dif¬ ficult to understand why the fighting is still going on if the war is over. There are some people- who will probably stand aghast at the idea of a bargain and sale involving the presi¬ dency of the nation. In these piping times of trusts there is really nothing surprising about it. We should not bo surprised if, in a few years, th# office is capitalized and put on the market jerry Simpson’s Bayonet. The sentiment in favor of govern¬ ment ownership is growing rapidly. Let it grow. The sooner the principle is adopted the better. Then there will be cheaper utilities, better paid and more contented workmen, and no labor troubles. A few old money grabbers and slave drivers would suffer by the change, but they have had the run of things long enough. It is merely a question whether the public utilities shall continue to be run in the inter¬ ests of a few capitalists or in the in¬ terests of the whole people.—Youngs¬ town News. The Philippines constitute the gate¬ way to China. The opening of that gate will mean the degradation of the workingmen of America at no distant day.—National Watchman. The loyalist patriot's creed: My country, right or wrong. My party, right or wrong. My state, right or wrong. My city, right or wrong. My neighborhood, right or wrong. My family, right or wrong. Myself, right or wrong. Me!—Justice. FOLLOlVIN'i PRECEDENTS. Haw the Indians of Equador Carry on Business. There are probably 000,000 Indian peons in Ecuador. Not one of them owns an inch of real estate and most of them are more or less in a state of slavery under the planters or liaeieu ilailos upon whose estates their fami¬ lies have lived for centuries. They arc short, broad and muscular, with skins of copper color resembling that of the North American Indies, long, straight, shiny hair, and scanty beard or none at all. They resemble the Pueblo In¬ dians of New Mexico, and the Aztecs of old Mexico. Their predominant characteristic is melancholy, They are reticent and extremely distrustful and look upon all strangers with sus¬ picion. Tlie Indian of the interior is so sus¬ picious that lie will sell nothing at wholesale, nor will lie trade anywhere hut: in the market place on ttie spol where his forefathers have sold gar¬ den truck for three centuries. Al¬ though travelers upon the highways meet numerous Indians on their way to market bearing heavy burdens of vegetables, forage and other supplies, and driving a drove of donkeys simi¬ larly laden, nothing can induce au In¬ dian to sell anything from his stock until he lias reached the place where lie is accustomed to offer it for sale. He will carry his load ten miles aud dispose of it for less than he was of¬ fered at a point half the distance, simply because he is a slave to custom and is suspicious of everything iu the way of an innovation. A gentleman who lives iu one of the towns of tin* interior told me once that he had been trying for years to persuade the Indians who passed his house every morning with packs of vital fa to sell him a supply reg¬ ularly at his gate, but they refused to do so. Consequently lie was compell¬ ed to go four miles into town to buy alfalfa that was carried past his own door, but the seller willingly carried it back and delivered it, thus packing his load eight useless miles because it had been the habit of his family to do so. My friend also told me that no wo¬ man in the inurk.it would sell more than a dozen eggs to one customer, not even if she were offered double tbs price. She would give him one dozen eggs for ten cents, but would not sell five dozen for $1; she would give a gourd full of potatoes for a penny, but would not give five gourdfuls for ten cents or twenty cents or any other price, simply because she was not ac¬ customed to sell potatoes in such quantities and any attempt to induce her to depart from custom excited the suspicions which are the predominat¬ ing trait of her race. Four centuries of Spanish tyranny, duplicity and deception, have de¬ stroyed the faith of the entire race in white people, but when their confi¬ dence Is once gained, nothing can shake it. The devotion between the peons and their masters is often sim¬ ilar to that which existed between the negro slaves in the south and the members of the kindly families In which they had been reared.—William Elroy Curtis in Chicago Record. Here is the Providence Journal, which knows a lot, predicting the de¬ cline and fulling off of golf in the near future. For what reason V Be¬ cause when golf is played by every¬ body, the people who are not every¬ body will want to play something else. “There was a period when lawn ten¬ nis was the most fashionable of our out-of-iloor sports, but its vapid spread in popularity and its vogue among all classes led nt length to its abandonment iu large measure by tho class of players who had first tie voted themselves to it—the class that now pluys golf. When gaudy rrd golf coats can be bought for next to notiiing prices at the ready-made clothiug stores, and every village lias its links, what will tho original en¬ thusiasts for the game in this country introduce in its stead ?” Something else, assuredly. There was a time ■when the British nobility played croquet; you can find them playing in Disraeli's novels. Croquet went by the board when everybody took it up. So did lawn tennis; and now golf’s warrant is signed. Archery has failed to catch the fancy of society. What will come next. Perhaps cro¬ quet will come iu again. «® RECULATE THE STOMACH, LIVER AND BOWELS, PURIFY THE BLOOD.
