THE LEAGUE.
Some Member* Think That a Man Doe*
Not Reap a* He Sow*—Some Sow Good
Barley, and Reap Bad Potatoes.
The meeting of the League lasi Sun
day evening was opened by the choir,
led by Comrade Rice singing three
verses of “The March of the Workers.”
'ihe lesson of the evening was the fifth
in the Socialist Catechism “Machines
and Their U-es.” Comrade Dr. Peet
responded to the lesson. Comrade Rice
made some very appropriate remarks on
the lesson, speaking of the many ma
chines in use and the labor they had
done away with.
Mr. C. R. Elliott was then introduced
to the meeting and in an address of
some fifteen minutes length ablv an
swered the sermon delivered bv Bavard
Craig on “Knights of Labor versus So
cialism," a- short time since. The
speaker showed no the inconsistencies
of Craig’s remarks and proved that the
reverend gentleman did not know what
he was talking about.
Comrade Ann Bartlett then delive ed
a sermon which she said was intended
for a temperance meeting, but that it
could be applied to the League. Her
text was “Be not deceived, Goil is not
mocked for whatsoever a man sows that
shadl reap.” It was a good one
ami showed mature thought of the right
kind, but it would have been more effec
tive had it been delivered at a temper
ance meeting.
Comrade Lennon, the chairman, then
made some remarks praising the sermon,
but said he could not quite agree with
the idea of the text as the poor worked
all the day and the drones who neither
toiled or spun got awav with the honey,
i omrade Collins also made some good
remarks and said he could not see the
truth of the text. He said “the peasan
try of England sowed the best kind > f
barley and reaped the poorest kind of
potatoes.”
After recess Comrade John Swank de
livered as) ort extemporaneous address
declaring that the title “crank” con
ferred on labor advocates and Socialists
was a good one, and that he accepted
the title. Thete could be no revolu
tion in mechanics without a crank,
neither could there be in social advance
ment.
Mrs. Comrade Peet then read a very
able and well composed essay which
showed her to be an advanced thinker
in questions effecting the poor and op
pressed.
The best delivered address of the
evening was that of Comrade Sadie
l>avidson on Socialism. The comrade is
a flowerv writer and a first class elocu
tionist, and her effort was loudly ap
plauded.
Comrade Washburn stated that she
was about to leave the city for a time
and read an able article on “Bulls and
Bears" which was received w.th contin
ued and loud applause and a great deal
of attention.
Comrade Behyraer delivered the clos
ing remarks and I need not say how en
tertain,ng he was, as all the comrades
know for themselves.
Motive Extraordinary.

men here, to their own and onr detri
ment, as we are making a gallant fight

Harmony Between Capital and Labor.
°r rue Enquirer.
-Cl of the leading magazines are pub
lishing periodically very profound es
says by “eminent and able writers” on
'Qe “labor question” or the ‘‘industrial
situation.” These articles usually begin
w ith the weighty remark that:
"i apital and labor belong together;
one cannot do without the other. Their
interests are identical and there should
be harmony between them.” Then the
I writer, in high sounding words, proceeds
i show how everything is as it should
only that labor is eternally and
eeulessly “kicking” about it.
Of all exasperating exhibvj*yus oi
tillfnl ignorance, ibe learne , Nudity
of an educated egotist is the worst. His
words are weighted with the influence
of a great name ; fis ideas borrow a ra
dience from the glory of former
thoughts; and if his reasoning seems
shallow, one is apt to believe the fault
his own rather than put it to the test of
a critical examination. And so the sen
timents of Mr. So and So, oi Professor
This or Bishop That pass as authority
on a subject concerning which they are so
densely ignorant they are not even con
scions of their ignorance.
The terms “capital” and “labor”, as
applied by these gentlemen always bring
up a picture of the prosperous, influen
tial owners of wealth on one hand and
brawny, uncultured, moneyless men on
the other. Thev cannot imagine capital
and labor being disposed of in any other
manner. “Capital' 1 is wealth owned bv
men who do no labor; “labor” is the
muscular strength of men without
wealth. Labor produces all and con
sumes lutle. Capital directs, plans and
takes the risks, consumes a l l it can and
bolds the rest as a power over labor.
And vet to these writers such a disposi
tion of wealth and rude strength seems
natural, inevitable and unchangeable.
Still thev argne that capital and labor
should harmonize 1
Truly they theorize well when they
say capital and labor cannot do without
each other. Capital is really the accu
mnleted wisdom and skill of all the past
generations. Without it man could
commence on the raw material of earth
and dig out some kind of a subsistence
but it would be the subsistence of the
savage and would be a very inconven
ient thing to do. Capital in any form
we choose to imagine it is useless with
out the application of man’s mental and
physictl energies. They certainly be
long together. Why not place them
there? Why need capital necessarily
mean idle m n.and labor inevitably
mean poor ones?
The natural resources of earth, the
wisdom growing out of the experiments
of ages, science as applied to wealth
prooucing machinery, the beautiful pro
ducts of skill ami, the grand results of
centuries of human progress cannot be
rightfully owned, any more than the
majestic vault of heaven, awful in its in
finitude, can be “owned” by a few petty
human beings. Tnev belong to human
ity.
If anything could be be the “unpar
donable sin” it is the blasphemous pre
sumption of individuals in claiming s to
“own” the grand heritage of the human
race.
The phvsieal efforts of man should no
more be bought, sold, measured off and
ticketed at si much a dav than should his
soul, or hat life force within him which
man cannot create, cage or own.
The energies of man cannot be esti
mated in dollars and cents.
Action is spontaneous if the human
being is free ; it is impossible for him to
act for himself alone ; he needs all hu
manity and humanity needs him.
Labor and capital, as the grand com
mon heritage of the human race, belong
together; only thus will thev ever har
monize. Never let us dream of har
mony while capitol is the weapon of op
pression in the hniuls of a few tvrants ;
labor the slavish drudgery of a disin
herited, helpless and needy people!

The Height of Folly.
Editor Labor Knqulrer.
’•Ve should petition the government
for protection, and when withheld, de
mand it. What folly to expect protec
tion from a government Whose sole aim
it is to institute measures preying upon
the wealth producers! And what con
summate folly to demand protection
from a confederation of corporations in
the name of “vested rights,” who have
usurped the sovereign (unctions of gov
ernment for the sole purpose of exercis
ing them in their own interests and for
their exclusive benefit!
“The law-abiding citizen is regarded
as a good citizen.” That depends upon
the law he abides by. If the law is
good, he is a good citizen ; if the law is
bad, he is a bail citizen No good man
will obey a bad law ; no b d man will
obey a good law. E. J. Schellhous.

Steve Tavlor is doing good w >rk for
the iron molders and foundrymen gen
erally. Mainly through his exertions
there have been nearly 2,000 men
brought into the F.mndrvmen’s Associ
ation. Wages have been reduced until
experienced molders are known to work
for sl2 a week, and some even lower.
Two weeks singe a circular was sent out
to the employers of this city, stating that
after April 19 thev would expect an in
crease of 10 per cent on their wage, and
that the lowest price to be paid to la
borers would he $1.65 a dav —low enough
in all conscience. During the past week
Steve Taylor, with a ..ommittee, have
been around to the various founders,
and the majority of the best firms have
consented to tnaxe the advance. Those
who have refused will have a strike on
their hands within a few davs. Among
these latter is the firm of Delamater.
whose manager, Robinson, boasted to a
reporter a year ago that he knew how
to deal with labor unions, even to the
shutting down of the snop. The machin
ista working there mav also have some
grievances that they want redressed.—
John Swinton’s Paper.
Practical Socialism.
Editor Labor Enquirer.
Theoretically, I aai a Communist —a
disciple of the great reformer who or
ganized a society of which it is recorded.
•‘All who believed had all things com
non, apd no man said that anything was
his own.” The prime condition of mem
bership in that society was belief in its
principles, and that belief had to be
proved by the practice of Communism.
Communists do not advocate an ‘‘equal
division of property they advocate an
equitable division. Tney do not believe
in equalizing the ownership of property,
but in abolishing al ownership. They
believe that all who labor according to
their ability should have equitable (not
equal) use of all the goods they need.
As each man may breath the air and
drink the water he needs, without own
ing either air or water, so each earner
should be able to use all the goods he
needs, without owning anv.
There are some Socialists who believe
that “raw materials” should not be re
garded as private property. They are
logics tty committed to the advocacy of
Conimuqism, for all property is raw ma
terial, simple or composite, and the force
whereby the form or locality of raw ma
terial is changed—to give them a market
value —is due to the use of raw mate
rials, which are “common prop irty.”
There are many social reformers who
vet believe that all raw materials, like
all manufactured commodities, should be
treated as private property, hut w ho ad
vocate an equitable division of property.
■ hese, the conservative Socialists, and
the community mav wisely work to
gether to establish the preliminary
measures about which they all agree.
They first measure to be adopted
shoal i be to boycott the bankers, by re
fusing their “national currency.” (That
would lead to a reform of the currency,
and the methods of issuing it.) The
second should be a general redaction of
the hours of lab .r. The third should be
a cumulative income and property tax.
Upon these measures I propose to write
—if I have the editor’s permission—in
future issues of The Enquirer.

THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
Preamble and Declarallon of Principles
of This Great and Growing
Order of Workingmen.
The alarming development and aggressive
ness of great cap Hall sis and corporations, un
less checked, will Inevitably lead to the
pauperization and hopeless degradation of
the tolling masses.
It is imperative, if we desire to enjoy the
full blessings of life, that a check be placed
upon unjust accumulation, and the power for
evil of aggregated wealth.
This much-desired object can be accom
plished only by the united efforts of those
who obey the divine injunction, “In the
sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread."
Therefore we have formed the Order of
Kmghts of Labor, for the purpose of organis
ing and directing the power of the industrial
masses, not as a political party, for it is more
THE LABOR ENQUIRER.
—in it are crystalized sentiments and meas
ures for the benefit of the whole people, but
it should be borne in mind, when exercising
the right of suffrage, that most of the objects
herein set forth can only be obtained through
legislation? and that it is the duty of all to as
sist In nominating and supporting with their
votes only such candidates as will pledge
their support to those measures, regardless of
party. But no one shall, however, be com
pelled to vote with the majority, and calling
upon all who believe in securing “the greatest
good to the greatest number,” to join and as
sist us, we declare to the world that our aims
are:
I. To make industrial and moral worth, not
wealth, the true standard of individual*and
National greatness.
11. To secure to the workers the full enjoy
ment of the wealth they create, sufficient
leisure in which to develop tneir intellectual,
moral and social faculties; all of the benefits,
recreation and pleasures of association; in a
word, to enable them to share In the gains
and honors of advancing civilization.
In order to secure these results, we demand
of the State :
111. The establishment of Bureaus of Labor
Statistics, that we majr arrive at a correct
knowledge of the educational, moral and fi
nancial condition of the laboring masses.
IV. That the public lands, the heritage of
the people, be reserved for actual settlers ; not
another acre for railroads or speculators, and
that all lands now held for speculative pur
poses-be taxed to their full value.
V. The abrogation oi all laws that do not
bear equally upon capital and labor, and the
removal of unjust technicalities, delays and
discriminations in the administration of
Justice.
VI. The adoption of measures providing
for the health and safety of those engaged in
mining, manufacturing and building indus
tries, and for indemnification to those engaged
therein for Injuries received through lack of
necessary safeguards.
VII The recognition by incorporation, of
trades, unions, orders, and such other associa
tions as may be organized by the working
masses to improve their condition and pro
tect their rights.
VIII. The enactment of laws to compel
corporations to pay their employes weekly,
in lawful’money, for the labor of the preced
ing week, and giving mechanics and laborers
a first lien upon the product of their labor to
the extent of their full wages.
IX. The abolition of the contract system on
National, State£nd Municipal works.
X. The enactment of laws providing for ar
bitration between employers and employed,
and to enforce the decision of the arbitrators.
XI. The prohibition by law of the employ
ment of children under 15 years of age in
workshops, mines and factories.
XII. To prohibit the hiring out of convict
labor.
XIII. That a graduated income tax be
levien.
And we demand at the hands of Congress :
XIV. The establishment of a National mon
etary system. In which a circulating medium
in necessary quantity shall issue direct to the
people, without the intervention of banks;
that all the National issue shall be full legal
tender in payment of all debts, public and
private; and that the Government shall not
guarantee or recognize any private banks, or
create any banking corporations.
XV. That interest bearing-bonds, bills o
credit or notes shall never be issued by the
Government, but that, when need arises, the
emergency shall be met by issue of legal ten
der, non-interest-bearing money.
XVI. That the importation of foreign labor
under contract be prohibited.
XVII. That, in connection with the post
office, the Government shall organize flnan
cial exchanges, safe deposits and facilities for
depositor the savings of the people in small
sums.
XVIII. That the Government shall obtain
possession, by purchase, under the rights oi
eminent domain, of all telegraphs, telephones
and railroads, and that hereafter no charter
or license be issued to any corporation for
construction or operation of any means of
transporting intelligence, passengers or
freight.
And while making the foregoing demands
upon the State and National Government, we
will endeavor to associate our own labors;
XIX. To establish co-operative Institutions
such as will tend to supercede the wage sys
tem, by the introduction of a co-operative In
dustrial system.
XX. To secure for both sexes equal pay lor
equal work.
XXI. To shorten the hours of labor by a
general refusal to work for more than eight
hours.
XXII. To pursuade employers to agree to
arbitrate all differences which may arise be
tween them and their employees. In order
that the bonds of sympathy between them
may be strengthened and that strikes may be
rendered unnecessary
