SUBSCRIPTION: One ycr in advance $1.00 S 5 0 _Thrce month 25 Single copies, 5 cents. Advertising rates made known on application SABRIE G. AKIN, Editor and Publisher Letters and articles relating to the social problem are solicited. Entered at the postoffice at Duluth, Minn, as second class matter. That Admission Fee. Some of the organization are slightly worked up over the charge of 25 cents admission to the driving park on Labor Day, because, it is claimed, there are so many workingmen who can not afford the 25 cents. The Labor World sympathizes with all such victims of McKinley prosperity, but it cannot see where the labor day committee is at fault or how the matter can be remedied. The dues paid to the trades assembly have never been anywhere near ade quate to its support, and it has always been compelled to depend upon the receipts of labor day to make up the deficit. A year ago a nice sum was realized from the labor day receipts and the as sembly, in a laudable determina tion to preseve it for a good pur pose, set a portion of it aside for a Labor Temple fund. But with what result? McKinley prosperity came swooping down upon us, the in dustrial conditions made it ab solutely impossible for many unions to pay their dues, the already inadequate revenues dwindled away, and by the time the year was half gone it became necessary to draw upon the spe cial fund or quit business. The loans from that fund ought to be made good, but even if it is not the balance remaining will not be sufficient to run the as sembly through the next six months, let alone the whole year. There was this choice: An ad mission fee to the grounds, a raise in dues of 200 or 300 per cent, or an abandonment of the assembly's work that would amount to practical disband ment. The latter is dut of the question, the second would be like butting one's head against a stone wall, as any one must ad mit when it is considered that jme-half the unions find it ex tremely difficult to pay the nom inal dues now required. And the first—well, what is there about it to complain of? Heretofore tickets to the Labor Day picnic have cost 50 cents, twice what it will cost to get into the driving park. There was an admission fee then, the only difference being that it was combined with the railway fare and the fellows who never use their think boxes any thought the railroad corporation got it. If the want of 25 cents keeps a thousand people away from the driving park, how many would the want of 50 cents keep away from Fond du Lac? This kick illustrates the dispo sition of too many thousands of workingmen both inside and outside of labor organizations. They will pay 50 cents without a murmur when it goes into the pockets of a corporation, but the mere idea of paying 25 cents into the treasury of a protec tive organization of practical benefit, like the trades assembly, throws them into a spasm. Don't Be Bigoted. Some ardent reformers object to discussing half way measures, like free silver, for example. In one sense they are correct. If a man is suffering from a bullet imbedded in his body danger ously near a vital center, he can never be cured by such palliative measures as are calculated only to reduce his fever. Nevertheless the capable doctor would not neglect the fever, since its rav ages tend to exhaust the pa tient's vitality^ Reformers must give all phases of the problem their clue weight, and while never losing sight, even for a{ single day, of fundamental prin ciples, on the one hand, on thej other, they should never fail to adapt their arguments to the mental stomachs of the people they seek to influence. The existence of a certain eco nomic school, though it be not built upon a logical principle that is perfectly symmetrical, is prima facie evidence of the exist ence of a class of minds to which the particular phase of the in dustrial problem emphasized by that school, appeals with more than ordinary force. Practical men take the world as they find it and seek by possible means to make it what they think it ought to be. No more than an averagely bright pupil can grasp all the subtle principles of the entire science of mathematics in a single day, can the untrained mind of the average citizen, without years of arduous study and discussion, comprehend in telligently the complex problems of social science. We can, as we go along, cultivate a whole lot of practical common sense and still not yield a particle of our sturdiest devotion to principle Granite in St. Louis County. It has just been remembered by some Duluthian that there is at Hinsdale, on the Duluth & Iron Range railroad, a granite quarry thejproduct of which is of such excellent quality that it was used in preference to all other mate rialin the construction of the auditorium building at Chicago Duluth has a double interest in seeing that this stone is given due consideration in the selection of material for the state capitol. If this stone is good enough to compete with the Bedford and other standard stone almost in their home market, it must be of extremely high grade, and surely is good enough to be loyally stood up for by the state of. Min nesota. Let the the capitol com mission look into this matter and give home products and home labor at least as good a chance as is afforded siders. to out Wheat and Silver. Our gold bug friends now ask jubilantly: "What has become of the theory that the price of wheat depends upon the price of silver and that they rise and fall together, since wheat has gone to $1 per bushel and silver has fallen lower than ever?" Don't get too gay. Silver always falls when the plutocrats get to discussing an interna tional agreement and wheat always rises when there is a §hort crop in the wheat export ing countries. When there is no wheat in the silver using coun tries to be measured by silver at its bullion value in gold, mani festlv the relation between wheat and silver ceases and the value of the latter has no effect upon the wheat market. Even a business man knows that com petition ceases when his compet itors have no more goods. Never in the history of the English speaking people has there been a time when gross acts of tyranny on the part of the judiciary aroused so few expres sions of popular indignation as at present. We have become callous to invasions of popular rights and take them as a mat ter of course. Were one dis posed towards pessimism he surely would see in this indiffer ence evidence of extreme decay in the love of liberty. That this indifference is permanent, how ever, we do not believe. All forces have their times of ac tivity and rest as well as all liv ing beings, and we seem, just now, to be passing through one of those periods when Liberty in dulges in her centennial slumber. ®8il Political methods, in bringing about improved conditions, are doomed to failure. So, too, efforts to work out independent results under the community plan will fail unless there come a remodelling of governmental conditions. 1 heory and practice should supplement each other. Neither, except by accident, can make a success aloue. The reason why the Social Democ racy marks a new epoch is be cause it is the first great move ment in social reform to recog nize this truth. And so McKinley is responsi ble for the rise in the price of wheat! Since when has the "ad vance agent" become dictator of climatic conditions in the wheat countries of the world? THE NEW TiriE. Remarkable Success of the Re form riagazine. The 20,000 edition of the July New Time, the new Chicago magazine, was exhausted in less than a week and its pub lishers have not been able to keep up with the demand for this able leform monthly. The signal success of the New Tiriie is evidence that the people are at least awake to the necessity of speedy relief from existing social and industrial conditions. The August New Time con tains a wealth of contributions on timely subjects from a score of the best economic writers in America. Eugene V. Debs in an article on "The Social Dem ocracy," declares that "within twelve months its national rep resentatives will have formu lated a national political plat form." This is the first authoritative announcement of a plan that may change the political map of the country. Thomas E. Watson of Georgia, contributes a spin led article which will attract much atten tion. The Hon. Jerry Simpson handles Speaker Reed without gloves in an article under the caption of "The Despot of the House." Among the new con tributors of this splendid num ber of the New Time are Prof Frank Parsons, Helen Camp bell, Bolton Hall, Will Allen Dromgoole, William Ordway Partridge, Ernest H. Crosby, Eltweed Pomeroy, Lucinda B. Chandler, Hon. Booker T. Washington, Rev. Herbert N. Casson, Prof. E. W. Bemis, George H. Shibley and Wil liam Matthews Handy. Fred erick Upham Adams presents the fifth chapter of his famous satire, "A Corrected School History of the United States," and Mr. B. O. Flower gives some new facts in relation to postal savings banks. The Labor World and the New Time for $1.50 per year. Mortgage Forclosare Sale.
