A Female Wage Slave.
London Saturday Review.
The English drudge rises early
and goes to bed late, working
eight or twelve hours a day, either
in her miserable garret or in a
huge manufacturing hive. Pinched
with hunger and cold, worn out
with labor, exposed to temptation
and degradation, her joyless life
stretches behind her and before
her, with no pleasures to look
back upon, no hope to look for
ward to. THc wages she cams,
those wages which proudly sepa
rate her from the slave, arc barely
sufficient to keep body and soul
together, till at last the body gives
way or the soul revolts. Then
comes the inevitable end, and a
verdict of "death from starvation"
or "found drowned" closes the
scene. •

WOMAN’S COLUMN.
Edited bjr Era. A. L. Wtakkßtß.
"Human beings, like trees, grow
from and upon the soil. The
eatrh like a wise parent supplies
the germ. * • Like trees, also,
do souls attract to, and assimilate
with themselves qualities of con
genial substance from the organ
isms and from the atmosphere of
universal nature.
“You will observe that trees ab
sorb vitality and substances from
the earth and the atmosphere,
which is generated by and thrown
out from all the planets in space.
And thus you see giant trees
building themselves up—adding
ton after ton of substance, limb
and leaf—without in the least di
minishing the size or weight of
the ground, which they so beauti
fully refine, refresh and decorate.
“So it is with human souls.
Minds absorb vitality and sub
stances in generaal from the at
mosphere, which is generated by
and thrown from all the spiritual
spheres. Therefore you will
perceive that there is a spir
itual atmosphere withinin the
material atmosphere. The soul
feeds on the one, the body upon
the other; until by a refining pro
cess, they blend into one whereby
the spirit is made to increase in
substance. And as you see trees
grow ing without diminishing the
earth so you also see souls multi
plying and building themselves up
—bringing into the world new
thoughts and principles—without
exhausting the spiritual Fount
which they correspond to and rep
resent.
You will remember the exact
analogy, that trees grow by at
tracting and assimilating to them
selves the terrestrial atmosphere
which is thrown from all the
planets; and that souls grow, in a
ing and assimilating to themselves
the celestial atmosphere which is
thrown from all the spheres.
Therefore, human minds, like
trees, grow large and beautiful, or,
like trees, remain sometimes small
and deformed, strictly in accord
ance with their origin and subse
quent situation. Minds possessing
an equal amount of spiritual life,
though of dissimilar tempera
ments, will be drawn to associate
with each other. As there are
hundreds of different types in this
respect, so there are hundreds of
different associations. Hence the
entire naturalness of sects and in
stitutions; the inevitableness of
parties, clanships and isolated
nations. The Harmonial philos
ophy should teach the world,
therefore, to shake hands over its
multiform distinctions: to forget
all uncharitablenesff and draw a
wet sponge over all animosities."
Andrew Jackson Davis in The
Great Hannonia, Vol. IV., The Re
former.
"Absolute purity of heart and
life is the richest human posses
sion; and perfect obedience to the
highest attractions of the soul is
the only means of its attainment.”
- Ibid.

While the greatest enemy of
social justice and equality of op
portunity is the greed and selfish
ness of men there are those who
seek upon the mount of self-sacri
fice the blessings of human happi
ness, failing to find it often through
this mistake: that they themselves
in the higher nature instead of the
lower; devoting themselves to
worldly gain and sordid pursuits
for some duty which they fancy
requires it, forgetting that it is
only in being true to our highest
nature that we may expect any
permanent good either for our
selves or others. Therefore hu
man happiness may be considered
the first duty, this only being
reached by obedience to the
“highest attractions' of the soul.”
Since money is sought for what it
may buy let us seek other, surer,
means of comfort by less sordid
means.

the Dust” recently I was struck

monds as given in the first lesson:
“Well, those are the fatal jewels;
native here in their dust with gqld,
so that you miy see, cradled here
together the t\to great enemies of
mankind, —the strongest of all
malignant physical powers that
| have tormented our race. * *
Was any woman ever the better
for possessing diamonds? But
. how many have been made base,
frivolous, and miserable by desir
ing them? Wxs ever man the
better for having coffers full of
gold ? But who shall measure the
guilt incurred to fill them? Look
into the history of any civilized
nation; analyze, with reference to
this one cause of crime and misery,
the lives and thoughts of their
nobles, priests, merchants and
men of luxurious life. Every
other temptation is at last con
centrated into these; pride, and
lust, and envy and anger all give
up their strength to avarice. The
sin of the whole world is essen
tially the sin of Judas. Men do
not disbelieve their Christ; but
they sell Him. * * *
Wherever legislators have suc
ceeded in excluding, for a time
jewels and precious metals from
among national possessions the
national spirit has remained
healthy. Covetousness is not
natural to man —generosity is; but
covetousness must be excited by
a given miasma; and the-essential
nature of a material for the excite
ment of covetousness is, that it
shall be a beautiful thing which
can be retained without a use.
"The moment we can use our pos
sesions to any good purpose our

by side with our power.

you will want others to hear it, if
you can enjoy a picture rightly
you will want others to see it;
learn how to manage a horse or a
.desire to make your subordinates
good horsemen, ploughmen, or
sailors; you will never be abl£ to
see the fine instrument you are
master ot, abused; but, once fix
your desire on anything useless,
and all the purest pride and folly
in your heart will mix with the
desire, and make you at last wholly
inhuman, a mere ugly lump of
stomach and suckers, like a cuttle
fish.”

"The money which the English

The Herd Will Turn.
The Detroit Commercial Adver

"Slowly but surely a condition of

submission or determined revolt
against the oppression of schem
ing capitalists. _ It is a frightful
state of affairs to contemplate,
but it is folly to assert that events
of almost daily occurrence do not
point directly to coming peasant
slavery or an era of poDular revo
lution in the United States. * *
The working classes are being
driven like a great herd of cajttle
up a slowly narrowing canon.
When they reach the impassable

( For Mis Enamrer.
The prohibitionists keep up a
. dismal howl on the evils of the in-
I temperate use of alcoholic liquors,
, but drunkenness is only one of
the pernicious outcomes of our
I competitive system. This system
. robs men of their earnings. This
, prevents them from purchasing
. the best qualities of liquors which
do not by.any means take away
the reason of men and make
such maniacs of them as the
poorer alcoholic drinks do. Pov
, erty preventing men from acquir
ing good liquors the genius of
, the American is exercised in pro
ducing a counterfeit and some
thing that will satisy the cravings
of the poor for a small expenditure
of cash.
It is the same demand that is
• causing theestablishment of “soup
; houses" where refuse meat, flour
1 etc., is served out to the hordes of
of the disinherited and the popu
. larity of cheap lodging houses
where men are herded together in
close ill-ventilated, nasty, stinking
. rooms.
Granting, however, that drink
, causes much crime and misery it
[ is not conclusive evidence that the
r world’s industrial conditions arc
; perfect as, prohibitionists assume,
1 and that liquor is the cause of a)J
r — —l—u.. - ' ■ -^—i.i | ,
5 moment that drunkenness
r tinguished and the monopoly -of
> natural forces and the compcti
: five system still prevailed we
: plainly see that men would cOn
, tinue slaves of other men the same
. as now, and although the ability
: of the masses t-o produce would
• be considerably augmented still
: they would receive barely sufficient
for existence and thousands would
annually die from improper food,
lack of proper clothing, overwork
etc., as under the present regime.
The prohibition reply to thd
wage-worker, viz: “That his pov
erty is due to drunkenness,” is an
insulting, slanderous, reproach en
tirely lacking truth, unreasonable,
uncalled for and it is to be classed
only with the curious freaks of
nature sometimes manifested in
minds whose training have made
them narrow, bigoted, prejudiced
and too weak to comprehend
great questions.
The prohibition party is well
suited to the commercial gamblers,
shylocks, real estate swindlers,
corporation officials and their at
taches of which it is largely com
posed. These men desire to stifle
discontent and divert the attention
of the toilers from the main issue
by trying to persuade them that
intemperance instead of injustice
is the primary cause of their suf
. fering. I do not wishTo depreciate
; the value of temperance for it is
an economical and admirable vir
: tue the beauty of which cannot be
too artistically portrayed, but
temperance and prohibition are
about as near related as are forty
second cousins in the human fam
: ily. The use of alcoholic liquors
from a moral standpoint is no
worse than drinking milk. Mill
; ions of dollars are yearly spent for
milk which might be saved for
: charities! When milk is as badly
■ adulterated as the liquors the
poor must drink, it has equally as
pernicious an influence on the
brain and body. The prohibition
[ principle is one of the last dying
: embers of the idea that the right
: to rule in all matters from a ques
, tion of spiritual belief to that of
j diet is with the strong and that
the state must intermeddle in all
private as well as public affairs.
1 The habit of drunkenness is de
plorable indeed; but the way to'
stop it is by establishing distribu
tive justice which will enable men
to have homes. whose attractive
ness will offset the saloon influence.

Interesting Colony News.
Editor Labor Enquirer.
The first step in the upward
progress of the Credit Foncier
colony is the securing of a good
farm on the Fuerte River four
1 miles below Ahome, on which we
can raise enough to support a
prosperous colony. This farm was
secured by a contract entered into
by A. J. Wilber, chairman of the
Jocal bohrd of directors, fand Senor
Ochas.
A large amount of this land is
now planted to various crops, and.
we are getting all the vegetables
we need. The farm is secured
under contract for three years,
with the right to purchase at any
time within the above period. A
good school-house has been estab
lished and conducted by Dr: Shel
house who holds a first-class teach
er’s certificate for the state of
California, and| several young me
chanics of Ahome arc in attend
ance. The farm is highly praised
by the Mexican papers. The gov
ernor of Sinaloa, San Francisco
Caneda, visited the farm at La
Logia and also came 011 to the
Bay March 26, and expressed
himself in the highest terms to
ward the colony. He will be long
remembered by the children whom
he freely scattered new Mexican
silver fresh from the mint; prom
ised to give us all the assistance
we may need in the land or any
thing else. We are to snake our
wants kno\\m. For this purpose
he wished us to build our telegraph
from the Bay to Fuerte and they
will assist us to do so-.
This is the next step in advance,
The contract has been drawn up
probably by this time. We are
„,Vuo„V 1( Lill e 1 inc . froll ‘ thf n ßa v~ J
Constantia; and probably Ahome,
and when built to operate the
same. We are to furnish the in
sulators etc., and the state will
.furnish poles and dijf the holes
for us on very favorable terms.
This will connect our various
camps, and connect us with Culi
can the state capital, also Mazat
lan and Guay mas in Sonoro, as
wel las with the outside world.
The third step in advance will be
the arrival of the relief corps, as
it is called, from the states, with
the printing press now on its way,
and whom we are expecting daily.
Then our papers will be published,
here at the Bay, in our own pleas
ant home, It is reported that they
are now in Guaymas awaiting the
city of Topeka steamboat, to bring
them here. I will give you further
information in future.

Cut Loose.
At a recent meeting of the anti
poverty society Congressman
Smith said:
Think of a country only 112
years old and the people so op
pressed that they have to start an
anti-poverty society. Horace
Greeley’s idea is played out —thp
man hat goes west to-day finds a
poorer country than the one from
which he started. The only thing
that remains for you to do is to
cut losse from all parties and build
up one for yourselves. The dem
ocratic or republican president is
ruled by Wall street, but when we
get into power we will wipe out
Wall street and squeeze all the
water out of the deluged stocks
and bonds of the country. In the
halls of congress I have discovered
that it makes no difference when
you want to amend the constitu
tion for the benefit of civilization,
the republican as well as the dem
ocrat pulls you back and says:
“For God’s sake don’t touch the
constitution, it might go off and
hurt somebody.”

French and German Socialism. 1
I want to ask Mr. Millett, who 'J®!
defends Nordau’s statement, if
such speeches as the above tend to
quiet the "uneasy conscience of %
the rich?” The second question I ®
would like to ask is: How is it J
that capitalistic economists, when 1
they attack socialism, try to dis- 1
prove the "iron law?” I
Here are two associated press
dispatches which explain them
selves:
“Berlin, August 28,1887.—The
police authorities have forbidden 1\
all persons to commemorate the I
anniversary of the death of Ferdi
nand Lasalle, on pain of imprison
ment for two years."
“Berlin, August 30,1887.—The
police order forbidding socialists
to commemorate the anniversary
of the death of Lassalle
did. not have the desired
effect. Thirty thousand fol
lowers of the great* socialist
made pilgrimages to his tomb at
Granau yesterday.”
Does Mr. Millett think that the
German authorities' would have '
forbidden what they did, if Lasalle "b,
was the friend of the rich? and
would the workmen turn out 30,-
000 strong under penalty of two Mjj§
years’ imprisonment if lu; had been *
their enemy? RespectiuDy,
