INDUSTRIAL KINGS VS. THE PEOPLE-
"We shall not allow any one to tell ng
how our business shall be conducted,
and we shall not consent to arbitration.
Our business Is our own private affair,
and. we want no interfereice from
Federal, or State, or any other Govern
ment." So spoke the Pullman Company to
the committee of honorable citizens
who appealed to It to arbitrate. Not
having any heart or soul, being Incor
porated only to command dividends
cue of the earnings of ls employes, it
cared not for the fact tbat 13,000 out of
the 17.000 people who bad produced
those dividends and heaped up $25,000,-
000 for Lord Pullman, are dependent on
charity. These figures of pauperized
Pullman! tea are the report of Chairman
Pollans of the relief committee. lie
has reported that "more than two
thirds of the population of Pullman are
in actual want, and some of them are
practically starving to death.
The absolute ruler of Pullman's
17,000 people says to the people of the
United States:
We ftbaii conduct business as we
please. It Is our own private affair to
decrte terms to our employes. We
have the legal right to pay them less
than they earn, less than living wages,
and no one shall Interfere with us. If
they starve we are not to be meddled
with, Tbe government must be at
great expense to protect us and our
associated friends, the railway corpora
tlons, but that is what the government
is for, to "make the rich aecure and the
poor content," and it must not presume
to rise from doing police duty for me
and suggest that I show mercy to my
slaves.
Seriously, the words of Wickes, Pull
man's manager, speaking chiefly for
Pullman, as quoted at the head of this
article, set before us the great question
about which the battles of the future
are to rage. If it were a settled ques
tion that dividends are right, as well
as legal, Pullman's position, haughtily
repelling , "interference from the fed
eral, state, or any other government,"
would be well taken. Dutdivldlng tbe
earnings of workers among non-work
ing stockholders is NOT right. It is
robbery, no matter by what sophistry
defended. Tbe fOOO.OOO quarterly
dividend divided by the Pullman stock
holders at thebcglnlng of the strike,
was earnings "kept back by fraud" and
force, a dividend made possible by cut
ting their wages from ,15 to 60 per cent
The Pullman Company and its de
pendent employes well represents the
whole present system of production and
distribution, a system which demands
from all the workers dividends and
rent, either direotly or Indirectly, out of
their product. This must come in the
form of money, which leaves a corres
ponding percentage of goods in the
market which cannot be disposed of to
the rich, who accumulate rents and
dividends which they receive. For
example, out of every hundred dollars
worth of goods placed upon the market
et us suppose that all whose labor of
hand and brain have entered Into the
produot are paid eighty per cent for
their labor, and that ten per cent of the
twenty taken from the workers, In the
shape of dividends, interest and rent,
Is held, or loaned, or invested In the
people's resources, In the means of sub
sistence, which meaoa an Increase
each year in the percentage which
landholders and capitalists may take
from tbe workers. Now observe that
the producers of each hundred dollars
worth of goods, on the supposition that
they accumulate nothing, that taking
them as a whole, old, young and mid
dle-aged, they must spend as much as
they receive for their labor observe
that even spending all, they can not
empty the market they have filled, they
can buy but eighty per cent of the
goods out of the market that they have
been paid for putting into the market.
And as tbe rich, landlords, capitalists
and usurers, care not to use more than
half of the remaining twenty per cent
of the year's goods, ten per cent have
to be carried over, and In consequence,
as often aa every ton years produc
tion would cetuw. Production does not
entirely cease every tenth year, but
about every ten years there is a period
of market glut, commercial paralysis
and manufacturing stagnation which
last from one to five years.
Now, then, If dividends, Interest aud
rent are right, Pullman is right, mon
opoly l right, enforced Idleness U
right, the compulsory starving V death
of the out-of-works U rlgiit, murder Is
right. If not profit for imaopolitn

Had the Union been organized through
out tne east as well aa tae west It would
have been able to make terms or force
arbitration with the corporations. It
should not discourage, but encourage,
organized labor to see what a magnifi

Debs. What it has failed to do now
It can succeed in accomplishing when
it completes organization. We be-.

meeting capital force will so affect the
Interests of the public that the people
will suddenly see the necessity of and

THE NATIONAL BAPTIST,
14U0 CheHtnut Street,
Philadelphia.
June 28, 1894.
My Dear Sir: I have not seen a lull
report of your remarks at the Univer
sity of Nebraska; but from what I have
seen of them and from what I know of
you, I am satisfied that you spoke only
the simple truth demanded by the
times; and I believe that the action of
the Governor in "rebuking" you was In
solent to the last degree. I shall say
something about this In the papers. If
you happen to have at band a copy of
your remarks, I should esteem it a great
favor to receive it. Any one wbo reads
the papers knows that our great cities
and many of our states as well as the
Houses of Congress are open to the
severest charges, and that no state
ment as to tbelr mlsgovernment is
likely to be exaggerated; I have no
question that you have expended more
tbougnt on tne matter under consider
ation in one day than the Governor has
expended in the whole of his natural
life up to this time. While I write
only as a matter of personal respeot to
you, yet I am wholly willing that you
should make any use that you see fit of
these few words.
With sincere regards,
Truly yours,
H. L Wayland.
THE WISDOM OF UNION
Two are better than one; because they
have a good reward for their labor.
For If they fall, the one will lift up
his fellow; but woe to him that is alone
when he falleth: for be batn not an
other to help him up.
And If one prevail against blm two
shall withstand him; and a three-fold
cord is not quickly broken. The Book.
Slowly the simple truth Is forcing Into
the minds of men. For gain the strong,
atd for self preservation the weak, are
being driven to join hands. Trusts,
corporations, partnerships, trade
unions, imperfect fraternal societies,
Insurance companies all for gain or
for defence are recognizing the need
and In a measure are practicing the
principle of collectivism or brother
hood. All sue the losses and evils of
competing Individualism, and the gains
and greater security of co-operation.
Co-operation to oppress and plunder
is, of course, evil; but even such co
operation, to multiply power, teaches
the advantage and makes plain and
augments the necessity of our uoHelfish
organization Into a strong social body
whose members shall naturally and
harmonlotiKly serve one auother
The law of co-operation la not the
spirit of plunder, but the spirit of love
and Justice. Sottish co-operation 1

and socially upbuilding, making possi

The family alone ha preserved amor j
men tbe idea of the world that ehould
be, a world where love rules. In many
families the .ideal unity of love, of
sacrifice, is realized so far as it can be
realized by the limited number of the
home circle. And individual sacrifice
in the home circle is sweet. But
family is arrayed against family in in
dustrial competition and commercial
struggle, and this transmutes family
love into a circle of selfishness and sin,
selfishness that ts sin. We endeavor
to fence off a little fold for the family,
but make, after all, only wolf dens, the
places where the selfish retire to snjoy
the prey, and live lovingly with wife
and children.
God's plan, as revealed to Abraham,
is to destroy all selfishness first in the
family, and enlarge the family in pure
ly unselfish relations till it becomes the
nation, and make of the nation a uni
versal kingdem, God's kingdom, into
which shall be gathered all the nations
of the earth. (Gen. 12; 1-3: 18; 17-20.
Dan. 2: 3135, 44). The ideal nation is
the enlarged unselfish family circle, a
greater family, and the kingdom of God,
the actualization of the divine Idea of
"the fatherhood of God and tbe brother
hood of man."
We have the germ unit of ''the king'
dom" which is to "fill the whole earth"
in the single family, father, mother and
children who live together unselfishly,
serving one another la love. But this
germ must be made to burst its shell,
its selfish clrcle.or it will never be any
thing but a germ. The Divine Spirit
must quicken it and compel It to break
its bonds and develop by communities
into a national and universal family;
or we can have no salvation from
family separating selfishness, no de
liverance from present evils, no growing
kingdom of God.
The individual has no right to be
selfish. The family has no right to be
selfish,
selfish,
family
The nation has no right to be
As members of the greater
of God we are all, by God,
equally provided for, the equally loved
children of God, equal Inheritors of
his land, mines, air and sunshine, the
earth and heaven. And we are made
individual, each different from all
others, that each may endear himself
to all others by his individual service.
Some are stronger than others; there
fore their burdens should be heavier.
Some are wiser than others; but their
wisdom should be used for all. Service
must not be bought and told.
The family into which children are
born is intended to be the training
school of love. The church, into which
the selfish should be regenerated, is
properly and must make itself the
growing community, nation and king
dom of perfectly united, industrially
organized, unselfish families. The
church must forbid family self-seeking,
as well as all Individual selfishness. It
must make its members actually mem
bers one of another, members whore
lntertHts in production and exchange
cannot be separated or antagonized . As
the human bod cannot be divided, so
the social body cannot be a body with
divided contending interests. Selfish
ness separates and destroys; love or
ganizes and saves. Love is creation's
first and final law. Love is God.
AEMAQEDD0N, THE NEW BONO BOOK-
Our new song book, Armageddon,
has been delayed by the music typo
graphers, but It is now rapidly ap
proaching completion. We expect
to have it ready for delivery by August
10th, and call attention of the local
workers everywhere to it. It will, by
Its heart-touching, battle-breathing and
educating and uniting truth greatly
arouse the people, and there is enough
of the humorous element in the songs
to attract all classes. Armageddon,
we must believe, will be a grest moving
and enthusing power in the present
campaign, and until the workers of the
world win tbe final battle which shall
give them perfect justice. It Is a pro
duct of the times, for the people, the
words being written aud soleoted by
one who has both suffered and studied.
It la a book for the masses to sing out
of in their future mighty coutllct with
the classes.
See ptrtlal list of tho songs It will
contain In propK ius advertisement on

The book will contain about 123
page of a little over ? by S Inch Ue,

vtevpted, ar tt,Ual haukera and
(tank tVvk owner of Omaha. A Hit!
ittaage, Wa'k it, that they, b banking
class alone, should take such an inter
est In improving Nebraska roads?
Soon after Mr. Turner wrote us he
called on ns, and we asked him what
there was in it for these men (bankers)
and himself (he was devoting his
valuable time), but he posed as a public
spirited citizen and we could get noth
ing out of him.
But now notice the colored gentle
men in tbe wood pile. The bankers
are not supporting the Coxey Good
lloads Society not at all. They are
equally or more anxious to have good
roads, but they are constitutionally in
favor of interest on bonds. In the June
number of Good Roads Clinton Lloyd, a
Washington lawyer, lets out the plan
for raising the money. Here it is:
Now, having first secured the neces
sary data, as before suggested, let the
State issue its bonds for whatever
amount Is necessary to put the roads la
thorough repair, and distribute tiie
amount to the several counties pro rata
on tie number of miles of road, or the
annual expenditure. Say, by way of
illustration, tbat the State of Pennfyl
vanla borrows a num equal to $1,000,000
for each of the counties, making a total
-f $07,000 000, and distributes tl as indi
cated. Tbls would give Lycoming
county $1,000 or $2,000 a mile for overy
mile of road; a turn probably sufficient
to put tbe roads In good condition for a
period of forty or fifty years with tbe
aid of trie tramp element, which could
be utilized in keeping tfc-m in repair,
as ought to have been doue )o-g ago
ins ead of feeding tbem at thu public
expense in comfortable jails. I he Dm ds
should be made to run forty or fifty
years, aud each of tbe counties should
be as-tossed a sum BuIIleleut v pay toe
Interest on the amount of money It te
ceived. snd for a slnkleg fund to liqui
date the principal at maturity.
And juat here, and here alow, could
the national government aid tue enter
prise In a constitutional way by tlie
paHsage by Congress of an act authoriz
ing ihe comptroller of the currency to
accept the State road bonds ai teeurl y
for currency to be furnished to banks
organized within the particular State.
Sucb supplemental y assistance wouid
have several manifest advantage?, tne
mortt prominent of which would be ttie
solution of ttie imminent question of
the security for a national bank cur
rency when the present national bonds
shall be no longer available; tbe infla
tion of the currency for wblch there is
such a noisy clamor, but upon a perfect
ly safe basis; the furnishing of a ready
market for the bonds at the lowest
rate of Interest; and the Inducement it
would afford to ttie several states to
adopt the scheme; not only to secure
good roads, but also to secure needed
banking facilities.
Do you catch on, hayseeds of Ne
braska? Bo you swallow? Or do you
reach for your guns.-1 Mandersoa Is a
fine man to represent you in the Senate,
isn't he? Wants to get Nebraska tax
payers under, $1)0,000,000 ;flfty, year
bonds and compel us to go to the banker
bondholders to get money to do ail
future business as well as to pay them
those bonds with? Great financiering
scheme, eh?
Some three weeks ago the National
Watchman, printed at Washington, de
clared in an editorial that Weaver,
Allen, Kem and McKeighan had entered
Into a fusion conspiracy with the Dem
ocrats, and quoted from tbe Farmers
Tribune language concerning Bryan
which lent color to the charge so far as
Weaver was concerned. We did not
print it. We could not believe it. And
we are glad to see in Tuesday's Demo
cratic daily at Omaha a general denial
on the part of our Nebraska congress
men, and senator. Possibly the denial
and the counter charges of blackmail
against Dunning, contained in their ad
dress to the Populists of Nebraska
would, in all the details, have reached
more of the Populists of the state if
they had sent it simultaneously to the
Populist papers as well as to the dally
Democratic sheet at Omaha. But we
are glad to publish second hand the
news of an indignant denial of the
fusion conspiracy charge. The Dun
ning editorial had, as we have
learned from letters received from
local party leaders, raised a fear and not
a little excitement In the minds of
many of our people. The great major
ity t f the Populist of this stato reason
afttr this fashion: If there Is no dif
ference between Populist and Demo
crat why do nt tlie Democrats come
into our party? If there W a difference
which keep them out, the same differ
ence must keep u In, and fusion It im-
po4ble.
Hkhky Gromuk, the great Wader of
the single tax movement, ha sup

meanest, lowest and moit vicious of
men, the Journal editor publishes a lie

satanlc invention, and gloats over his

its worst. We think there are lies thatT
men should bang for.
Tbb holders of the stock of the Chem
ical National bank of New York city
ask $4,800 for each $100 share of the
stock. The last recorded sales were on
bldsof $4,3r0 per share. Corporations
usually cover this enormous profit by
watering the stock from time to time
to keep it down to something like par
value, iiut the profit in banking is
chiefly obtained from deposits entrust
edto banks. The Chemical National t.
has deposits of over $30,000,000, money
belonging to other people, which it pays
only a yery low rate of interest on and
loans at the highest rates it can get.
Interest retards money circulation,
gathers it into the banks and makes
falling prices, which bring on panics
and periods of business depression.

"The interests of rural and civic- labor
are the same; their enemies are iden
tical." Will the government and the oourts
do anything with the railroads for re
fusing and conspiring not to carry the
mails? Don't gamble on any such a
belief, that the government has any
disposition to execute the law regard

A larue class of people, nt aware
