She Wanders Home svitli Me.
Aa we ‘sit and dream in the silent porch
Together my pipe and 1,
A cloud of smoke from the old brown
bowl
Floats up td the dappled sky;
And 1 watch through its dim, enchant¬
ed haze
A little suu'oomiet go
In shadow and shine o’er the grassy
links
That lie in the vale below.
For tally and late, ail the long, bright
day,
It Is busy flitting there.
Wit i a caddie wandering in its train.
While the white ball flies in air;
A sunbonpet ancient of pattern, such
As Priscilla’s sweet self wore
When she walked with the homesick Pil¬
grim maids,
Long since, on an alien shore.
And the jolly lads in the jackets red—
There's never a one goes by
But he slacks his pace and he turns his
head.
And he feels his heart beat high
At the glance he gets and the bloom he
brings
To the roguish face within
That sheltering scoop, with its soft
strings tied
in a knot beneath her chin, "
But I bide niy time on the silent porch,
For I know whom she loves best,
And that by and by, when the game Is
done,
And the day dies In the west,
She will hang the sunbonnet on her arm,
And the peeping stars will see
What a soft light lies in her happy eyes,
As she wanders home with ine!

Criticise Organized Tabor.
The Germans have a proverb, "He
tosses away the infant with tho bath,”
and use it to characterize a person who
is quick to draw a general inference
from a particular case. Just now wise
orators and writers of this nation have
much to say in criticism of laboring
men in general, and organized labor¬
ing men in particular. Not long ago
ture were bloody riots aud murders
at Wardner, Idaho; during the Cleve
land street car strike property was
dynamited and men wore wounded and
killed; there has for a year or more
been war, latent or active, in certain
Illinois coal fields; in New Y T ork city a
great newspaper is being attacked by
one of the great trades unions and Its
allies. Whether labor, organized or
unorganized, Instigated the destruction
of life and property, and whether la¬
bor’s boycott where it exists is war¬
rantable or not, I will not here discuss.
That is a matter more properly in the
province of the newspaper organs of
the several occupations .concerned. But
assuming that labor, organized or un¬
organized, was and is wholly and solely
at fault in each case—which is not my
conviction at all—what of it? Not, as
the baby-tossers say, that labor can’t
be trusted; that it is irresponsible; that
organization is a bad thing, an odious
tyranny that must be crushed and ex¬
terminated if American liberty is to
survive. Not at all. Assuming that
labor has been at fault in ail these in¬
stances, it simply follows that of al!
the millions who toil several thousands
made several mistakes; that of all the
hundreds who exercise executive pow¬
ers ia labor’s hosts, a few lacked dis¬
cretion. These orators and newspaper
writers pass judgment upon labor, and
labor’s organization, on a basi3 differ¬
ent from that upon which any other
• subject of tike nature is met. The
general rule/based on the unvarying
fact, is, that where many are combined,
errors will be committed that do not
attach to the party or organization as
a whole; but this adverse criticism
proceeds on the erroneous assumption
that in the realm of labor any one
man’s act is the result of the deliberate
determination of all, or the inevitable
consequence of organization.
Sunday Labor in Magsaci.uroits.
The- Massachusetts Bureau cf Labor
Statistics has published the results of
carefully executed inquiries on Sunday
labor. It appears that the early state
law of Massachusetts, which in genpral
restricted labor on Sunday to “works
of necessity and charity,” has in re¬
cent years been subjected by the leg¬
islature to many exceptions, and ha 3
to some extent been treated as re¬
pealed by custom. Of the total num
her of persons engaged in gainful oc¬
cupations in the state, which, accord¬
ing to the state census of 1835, was.
1,075,000, no less than 150,000 perform
work on Sunday. Of these nearly 88,
C00 are engaged in domestic service
and 25,000 more in agriculture and ;ho
fisheries. Of those remaining 18,000
are occupied in the various branches
of transportation, and the baiance o?
19,000, are distributed through hotel
and restaurant service, public depart*
ments, certain lines of trade and other
miscellaneous occupations. In some
instances, notably that of the bakery
trade, concert of action by proprietors,
or restrictive legislation, might do
away with Sunday work, without seri¬
ous harm to anybody. Aside from do¬
mestic service, transportation affords
the most conspicuous extension of
Sunday labor. While 46,233 persons
are employed in the various branches

WRIGHT,SVILLE, GA.. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1899.
of this business on weekdays, the Sun¬
day average is 17,994. On street rail¬
ways tae figures are respectively 10,326
and 8,.t82; that is, almost as many
persons are employed in the street
railway business on Sunday as on any
other day. The corresponding num¬
bers on steam railways are 27,480 and
6,718; on steam boats, 1,423 and 807;
on express companies, 1,778 and 305,
and cu telegraph and telephone com¬
panies, 2,185 and 443. The number em¬
ployed in the milk business, bakeries,
and-the police and fire departments Is
practically the same every day of the
week, and the Sunday contingent in
newspaper work is about two-thirds
that on weekdays. The attitude of
workingmen toward Sunday work
was made the subject of inquiry. A
curious contradiction is shown be¬
tween the well-known opposition of
organized labor to Sunday work and
the general claim of transportation
companies, particularly those engaged
in the street railway business, that em¬
ployes are as a rule able to get off for
Spnday whenever they wish. It is un¬
doubtedly true that the employe’s de¬
sire for the added wages, especially if
he ia married, often leads him to
forego the Sunday’s rest. It is also
probable, however, that the organiza¬
tion of the business on the plan of
seven days’ work by most of the regu¬
lar force dominates his choice.
What Organization Does,
I want to allude to a few facts that
show how puerile is this criticism of
organized labor when held up to the
reality. Every authority on Industry,
the federal bureau of labor, state bu¬
reaus, and similar departments of for¬
eign lands, asserts the fact, based on
observation of conditions, that the
mode of life of laboring people is stead¬
ily improving; that the condition of
organized laborers is greatly superior
to that of those unorganized; that
where the greatest advance has been
made in increasing wages, shortening
hours, improving shop conditions, or¬
ganization has been strongest. Some
of the greatest employers of the world
have of late expressed the opinion that
they preferred to deal with organized
men, and that the near future would
likely see the masters of great indus¬
tries insist that every man engaged
therein be a member of a trades union.
The manual toil of women and children
has always been in the market, and
received a pittance. It had not entered
the mind of any statesman to make an
original move to remedy this wrong.
From George Washington, who owned
slaves and grew rich from the fruit3
of the unpaid labor of black women
and children, to tho political leaders
of today who cut coupons, all were
content to let matters rest. It re¬
mained for organized labor to say that
if a given piece of work is worth a dol¬
lar if done by a man, it’s worth a hun¬
dred cents if performed by a child or a
woman. These are a few of many
things. They are marks of a move¬
ment that is international, progressive,
for the better citizenship and higher
manhood. And the criticism and con¬
demnation of this movement, because
of possible errors committed now and
then, are like picking a quarrel with
nature because she allows the sun
go in eclipse.
What to Tell tlie Carpers.
And just one final word, for the chap
who wants you to rush to the tront
with a condemnation and repudiation
of your organization, or another man’s
organization, if you believe a wrong
stand has been taken! Ask him if he
holts his political party every time
the nominations don’t suit him; ask
him if he renounces his father, aban¬
dons his mother, turns traitor tc his
children, every time any one of these
may do a thing that doesn’t seem to
him right—that may be wrong. And
if he says lie does, you may thank
God that you are not like him and still
not be a Pharisee.
Notes.
Pressing demand for iron and steel
has caused the rehabilitation of a num
b er c f 0 ](j an( j abandoned furnaces in
j the south, especially in Tennessee and
| Kentucky, and the rekindling of flre 3
j which have been quenched for many
years.
A project is on foot for a building
in Pittsburg which is to be the joint
headquarters of all organized labor in
that city. The national headquarters
that are now there and all local head¬
quarters are to be concentrated, ac¬
cording to the plan.
A union labor league was organized
at Louisville, Ky. The chief purpose
in this organization is to make clear
the fact that they will not support for
public office any candidate who does
not give assurance that he will endorse
and support the cause of organized
labor.

FEW QUOTATIONS
THE NEW GOLD
STANDARD SCHEME.
Republicans Having; Thrown Off the
Mask of liimetallisw, Which They
Have So Long; Worn, We Shall Hold
Their Own Mirror liofore Their Faces.
The Republican party, whose poli¬
cies are dictated by accumulated
wealth, until last year masqueraded
as a bimetallic party. Believing that
they have a death grip upon the
throats of the producers, the monop¬
olists have during the past few weeks
been pronouncing In their Republican
state platforms in favor of the single
gold standard. The following quota¬
tions show what the leading political
economists and the leading Republican
statesmen have said of this single
standard policy:
Hon. John De Witt Warner, in his
“Free Coinage Dissected,” says on page
S: “A good deal of complaint Is made
as to the small amount of gold in the
world. It Is the very fact that gold
Is found only in small amounts that
makes it so desirable for currency”—
to the money holders.
M. Rouland, governor of the Bank
of France, said: “We have not to do
with ideal theories. The two moneys
have actually co-exlsted since the ori¬
gin of human society. They co-exist
because the two together are neces¬
sary, by their quantity, to meet the
needs of circulation.”
Mr. Giffen said: “It is a moderate
calculation that if only the countries
which used gold in 1848, including
their colonies, were now using It, the
requirements to correspond with the
increased population and wealth would
be at least three times what they were,
assuming prices to remain in equilib¬
rium.”
Sir William H. Holdsworth, Bart.,
says: “But the quantity of gold pro¬
duced has been insufficient to meet the
extraordinary demands arising through
the adoption of gold by the countries
which have demonetized silver, in ad¬
dition to the ordinary requirements of
gold-using countries, arising from the
increase of population and the exten¬
sion of trade.”
The Banker’s Magazine said three
years back: “It is unquestionably true
that the depression from which the civ¬
ilized world is to-day suffering is due
to some extent to the small quantity
of gold existing for the enormous re¬
quirements made on the metal.”
Mr. W’alter Bagehot says: “Proba¬
bly if there were gold enough tor all
the world it would be best that there
should be only a single standard of
value throughout tho world, and that
one gold; but this is impossible. Some
have doubted if there is gold enough
even for the nations that now intend
to use it, and there certainly is not
enough for all the world,”
Mr. Edward O. Leech, formerly di¬
rector of our mint, says: “Passing by
the great question of the fall in the
gold price ‘of commodities, so far as
such fall is due to monetary causes, I
find that one of the most serious dan¬
gers which confront us is the insuffi¬
ciency of the supply of gold as a basis
for the present and prospective busi¬
ness of the commercial world.”
Ex-Secretary of the Treasury Charles
Foster said in 1891: “It is now agreed
on all sides that gold alone furnishes
too narrow a basis upon which to con¬
duct the money affairs of the world.”
Mr. James G. Blaine, in his "Twenty
Years in Congress,” says, having ref¬
erence to the then Republican con¬
gressional majority: “This class
feared the effect of an exclusively
gold standard while the supply of gold,
compared with the commercial de¬
mands of the world, is relatively and
rapidly growing less.”
Hon. John A. Logan said in 1879:
“No sane man, in my judgment, will
state to-day to the country that gold
is produced in sufficient quantities to
pay the debts of the government and
to redeem the obligations of the gov¬
ernment.”
Hon. Roswell G. Horr said in 1893:
“I am inclined to think that the world
should have a larger amount of money
of ultimate redemption than can be
supplied by the gold of the world
alone.”
The present secretary of the navy,
John D. Long, said in 1886: “Let us
admit that our immense territory,
population, business and commercial
interests require the service of both
metals, and that to abandon either
would be a source of contraction and
disaster.”
Ex-Secretary of the Treasury Wil¬
liam Windom said in 1891: “Let me
speak very plainly on this most impor¬
tant subject. Believing th;*; there i3
not enough of either gold or silver in
world to meet the necessities of
I am an earnest bimetallist,
concede to no one a stronger de¬
than I feel for the free and unlim¬
coinage of silver as soon as condi¬
can be reached through interna¬
agreement, or otherwise, by
such coinage shall be safe.”
President Harrison, in his annual
for 1891, said: “I believe it
the earnest desire of a great major¬
of the people, as it is mine, that a
coin use shall be made of silver
as soon as the co-operation of
nations can be secured and ratio
that will give a circulation
to gold and silver. The busi¬
ness of the world demands the use of
both metals.” * * *
This year the same hypocritical de¬
of trusts were made by
state Republican platforms that they
uttered against the single
gold standard. Republican denuncia¬
tions of trusts are now qualified by the
sentiment that “the legitimate corpo¬
rations must be protected.” When
they get this trust question as firmly
in hand as they fancy they have the
money Issue (If they ever do), they
will openly declare in favor of trust
ownership and control of everything.
“The legitimate interests of legiti¬
mate corporations!” As if there was
ever such a thing as a legitimate cor¬
poration. A corporation is an artifi¬
cial man, created by the legislature,
without a body to be kicked or a soul
to be damned. The creation of a cor¬
poration, with limited debt liabilities,
while individuals are held liable for
all they owe, is the conferring of a
special privilege, which is abhorrent
to the principles of a democratic form
of government.
POINTS FROM THE PRESS.
Monopoly in private hands is inde¬
fensible from any standpoint, so far as
the welfare of the people is concerned.
Monopoly in the hands of the people
would stop destructive competition and
become justifiable, because in such a
case there would be no robbery, for all
the people and not a few private indi¬
viduals would share the profits.—
George's Weekly.
Each American soldier in the Philip¬
pines costs the taxpayers $1,500 a year.
This is five times as much as the aver¬
age wages of American coal miners,
farm hands and common laborers, and
these pay their share and more than
their share of that $1,500 for each sol¬
dier. The men with the hoes and picks
and shovels won’t be able to straighten
up until the man with the gun gets off
their backs.—Johnstown Democrat.
The Republican party had a plank in
its last platform denouncing trusts.
Republican party is in power. Why
wait until 1900 to act? The truth ot
the matter Is this: Such planks are
put in platforms to fool the people,
and the people submit to being fooled.
The people in the various parties are
to blame for the conditions that exist.

The Tribune thinks it no harm to
shoot Filipinos so long as the Filipinos
are shooting at our soldiers We would

cations of life, there would be nobody
shooting at them. Nobody would want
to shoot at them.—Salt Lake Living
Issues.
The Wardner bull pen is a nice,
healthy place. Last month about 200
men were imprisoned there, and the

which time no charge was preferred

Fishes on Tap.
On tho farm of Charles Schaffer,
situated near Wapakoneta, Ohio, is a
line artesian well, the result of an un¬
successful attempt to bore for it. The
other day Mr. Schaffer pulled theplug
and flooded several acres of his land
to revive his dying pasture. In a few
days he and his neighbors were aston¬
ished to see his temporary lake filled
with myriads of little fish from two to
four inches long, which proved to be
black bass of the finest kind. Their
origin is a mystery, as there is not a
creek, river or pool of water within
two miles, and no ono can explain
their sudden appearance. The well
flows 20,000 barrels of pure, clear
water a day, aud Mr. Schaffer has de¬
cided to dam his pasture and turn it
into a permanent fishpond.
A Feminine Quality.
Why is it that women who are sub¬
ject to things like fainting fits are so
fond of crowds? Many a woman who
doesn’t faint manages to keep out of
unpleasantly close quarters, but the
woman who faints hurries into the
thick of the excitement, and just ren¬
ders things a little more exciting.—
