Fundamental Purpose of Labor Organizations Is to Elevate and Improve Labor. The Impression easily arises among workmen that a trade union, like an army, subserves its chief purpose in warfare in instituting boycotts and carrying on strikes. We 'might as wisely think that the chief purpose of a nation is to wage war. It may, in deed, be compelled to wage war, but it is not likely' to do it successfully unless it has been previously diligent in devising and pursuing its highest interests. War is a choice between evils, and no matter how fortunate, is sure to carry its own evils with it. If a people is growing in prosperity, this is the best protection, both against war and in war. The trade union is most successful which stands for such an accumulation of power, of Just, and wide-established claims, as to pre clude attack. Skill, economy and comfort ought to go together and tend to go together in the world. Skill and economy pre pare the way for comfort and com fort rewards skill and economy. This is the natural affliliation of growth it is what we mean by civilization. The violence of men and the vices of men may. interfere with this union, though it still remains the pre-de termined concord of permanent forces in human life. These forces do not take on their natural and best results except in a peaceful and thoughtful atmosphere. If one class of producers is pushing another class to the wall, or If producers lack sobriety and in telligence in ordering their conduct, then this union of productive powers with productive rewards may fail for the moment and blind forces take its place. The employer may drive the employe down the steep declivity of poverty, or the neglectful and un thrifty employe may waste his oppor tunities of those about him. The first and central purpose of the trades union is to secure and main tain this fellowship of skill, economy and comfort, each in its very "best form. It works with natural forces to fulfill them, to anticipate and thrust back all contravening causes, causes which baffle the workman in the pur suit of prosperity. The trade union promotes peace among workrhen and fitting counsel, which leave the nat ural and beneficent forces that pro mote growth in full play. It fulfills the law of love in pooling burdens, and in all helping all to bear them. The wisdom of the wise and the sob riety of the sober are contributed to the common resources, and that done well and soberly which could not otherwise have been done at all. With out union, Ignorance and indifference become, under competition, the ruling forces In defining the condition of workmen. There are no ranks and no reigments. Each man fights his own battle and his flank is constant ly uncovered by those equally indif ferent to his welfare and their own. The question of civilisation is set tled for the workman by his power of resistance, by the aidfulness of his fellows, by their joint ability to main tain the conditions of progress. Good will between workmen is the an tecedent of all gain. Without it the workman is capable of collective pro gressive civilization. Those in the use of capital are constantly dividing workmen against themselves, the thoughtless against the thoughtful, the unthrifty against the thrifty, and so they are able to divorce comfort from skill and economy. The trade union Is established to prove the coherence of the industrial life—'and its ability to make these three, skill, economy and comfort, travel together. The doctrine of Mal thus, the doctrine of every economist who accepts the poverty of the poor, the defenseless of workmen in the pro cesses of production, do it by regard ing him as incapable of taking and executive council, as mere waifs on the stream of circumstances. The purpose of the trade union is to contradict these views, to show that laboi^ even if it gropes in obscure beginnings, can make for itself a path into the en joyments of life that it is the least Intelligent and productive labor that is constantly sinking and carrying with it the hopes and fortunes of an entire class. It is no law of the world that those who labor shall not enter into their labors, the law that Is be ing Illustrated by the failure of work men Is that there must be an afflilia tion between them as a condition of success that division is fatal to their common prosperity. Their experience Is simply one more enforcement of the ethical obligations we owe each other. It is this truth which it is the primary purpose of the trade union to make 'plain. The union that is in fullest possession of it will have least occasion for warfare and most power to wage it successfully. If skill, economy and comfort are in that eternal concord in which we believe them to be the position of the trade union is impregnable. The skill ful are driven back by the unskilled, not because the best workman is not best worth his wages, but in the hope on the part of the employer, of return ing shortly to the good workman at a lower price. The best workman is the cheapest workman, but If he can be cheapened still further the operator is familiar with the method of doing it. A reasonable standard of living means and must be made every moment to mean, superior productive capacity When all forces, conflicting and con curring have been sifted, that fact remains as the last result. It ig the business of the trade union, to believe in it, push it into the foreground and emblazon it beyond denial. The different standards of living in widely separated nationalities at times obscure this relation. Our workmen rightly claim protection from, the Chinese because a standard of living far lower than otir standard gives' them aq immediate advantage.

Will Build Their Own Warehouses and Pay Attention to Marketing Goods. The farmers of the Southern states are recognized as the leaders in all movements tending to the smashing of the trust robber and tho specula tive thief. If the present movement among farmers in that and like direc tions, as represented by the Farmers' union and the American Society of Equity, is destined to accomplish anything substantial in the immedi ate future, the work will be done chiefly in the South. The Farmers' union has begun a movement to secure both federal and state legislation to prevent specula tion In crop futures. E. A. Calvin, president of the Texas branch of the of productiveness and livelihood that have been for so many hundreds of years in formation cannot be laid at once side by side and applied indis criminately with no disturbance of established equilibrium. The Chinese can be used as a wedge to spilt as under our social organization, not be cause, on the whole, they are better productive agents, but because the in tense pOitetty of their lives for the moment gives them a cutting edge. When the work was finished we would find that in sirfking manhood we had sunk also skill and economy with it. When the French peasant lives on a farm whidh1ii Vermont farmer has abandoned, when the Japanese in the Sandwich Islands push American tradesmen out of employments in which they have hitherto 'prospered, the result may be chiefly due to the standard of living, but it also raises the question whether our farmers and our workmen have not something to learn In economy and skill, whether the opportunity does not sometimes make them indolent and improvident. So far as any nationality shows su perior productive power, we have oc casion to learn the lesson taught by It. In doing it we cannot afford to waste any portion of that most precious social inheritance by which we asso ciate labor with its suitable rewards. It is this fundamental principle in our industrial welfare that is intrust ed to trade unions, and for which, in the world's progress, they will be held responsible. Experience teaches us to distrust everything and ourselves most of all. THE ONLY SAVINGS BANK IN DULUTH Offubed Under the Lsm of the State of Minnesota Governing Savins* Banks. Deposit Your Sayings Witt tfce SAVINGS BANK tarn Wast Superior St* Dulath, Minn. "THE BANK THAT PAYS" 3 PER CENT organization, recently discussing its programme, said: Live Off the Toiler. "We have in this country a form of gambling known as 'dealing in fu tures' of farm products. Every pro ducer has felt its damaging' influence, the crop that stands as the basis of our wealth, and of which the United States has a natural monopoly, shall not be subject to the whims of a few hundred men who hold down the floor of the exchanges. These men toil not, neither do they spin. They represent neither field nor factory yet when agricultural products, on account of general prosperity or the efforts of growers, go up in value, they step in and claim credit for it, regardless of which side they were on, and assert that we should thank them because we are able to pay our year's obliga tions with the products of our toll. But if by manipulation and heavy fu ture selling, prices go down, they set up the cry that we have produced an oversupply and must suffer the con sequences of our business Indiscretion. In these periods of depression they are Invariably found on the hort side of the market, doing their utmost To Creat a Panic, and force farmers to liquidate at prices below the cost of production. 'Later, when the crop is out of grow ers' hands, we learn, that statistics were wrong, that the excess was fic titious rather than real, and have to witness the speculator pocket profits that, but for this vicious system, would have been ours. When, therefore, a year's supply of cotton is thrown on the market within three or four months, price levels naturally drop below normal, affording the speculative interest to intrude like a pack of wolves and take advantage of the lack of organ ization among producers and their consequent inability to influence the marketing of the crop. What the grower needs is the co-operation of business interests, of the banker and the man with the hoe,. to properly market the chief staple of Dixie. Hold Your Cotton. "By building warehouses and stor ing all emergency cotton, by enabl ing producers to take off the market, say, one million bales of cotton, rea sonable prices can at all times be ob tained. By holding our staple until consumers are ready to pay 11 cents, and by paying more attention to marketing and less to growing, we can accomplish wonders." Mr. Calvin compared the market ing of cotton in the South with that of grain jn the Northwest. Statistics show, he said, that on March 1, 1907, 28.1 per cent of the grain crop of the Northwest was still in growers' hands, while at the corresponding time hardly 10 per cent of the cotton crop of the season was still retained by producers, notwithstanding the fact that grain threshing time pre ceded the cotton-ginning season. Deplores Child Labor. He also deplored the necessity for women and children laboring in the cotton fields of the South, a condition that would not exist when organiza tion had been effected and a reason able "margin of profit assured. "The Southland," added Mr. Calvin, "pro duces all the necessities and luxuries of life, and yet, by not properly mar keting the harvest, it does not enjoy the actual earnings of its people, due directly to the lack of organization among producers of the great white top staple of the world. "Naturally endowed with resources to produce an article which will be in good demand until the end of time, the South ought to revel in prosper ity, and, with proper organization and a feasible system of marketing it will."

I McOUNE PUTS SIELOFF OUT IN TWO ROUNDS Tom McCune bested Ottp Sieloffff 6f Chicago, at the Eagle's smoker last Tuesday evening in two rounds. It was a very pleasant1 affair.- One of I the preliminaries Was! very good. It I is difficult to pass an opinion on Mc- Cune because his fifteen-round bout with Sieloff was too brief to get a line on his fighting abilities, but if Tommy I lasts fifteen, rounds-with the fighting dago (Caponi), I will take my hat off to him. During the short fight I must admit that McCune shows that he has a good punch, and this is very important in pugilism, because it brings home the money.
