A RETROSPECT. j
rk. History of th. Tutor. Wrltt.n by
the FmL
A Uttle over two centuries ago the
ft-orld began ita great struggle for re
ligious liberty, for freedom of thought,
for the right to worship 3od accord
ing to the dictates of the Individual 1
conscience. The established interests
of the time, the government, the
church and the powerful influences in
society were opposed to this, and the
earth was made red with the blood of
men and women and even of children
U slaughtered, by the established
interests In order to prevent the
growth of a higher idea; In order, If
possible, to arrest human progress.
But their efforts were vain. The hu
man race moved forward and stood in
a purer light, a great principle was es
tablished and man was-made nobler
and better. A little over one century
ago the world began Its struggle for
political freedom, and again the gov
ernments of the earth, the church, the
. commercial Interests of the world, and
the powerful Influences in society were
opposed to the new movement, and
again the earth was reddened with
the blood of men and of women, guilty
of no offense except that of aspiring
to freedom. But in spite of all op-
position) the cause of liberty triumph
ed, humanity made another stride for
ward and took another step .upward.
It camped on higher ground and stood
!n a still broader light ; In spile or
the sneers of the privileged classes, the
, great principle of human equality wai
established, and the further principle
- that governments derive their Just
powers from the consent of the gov
erned, as expressed by the majority.
Under the inspiration of religious lib
erty there came an intellectual activ-
- ity such as the world had not seen,
and under the inspiration of political
liberty and of human equality there
came an intellectual, a moral and a
physical development that eclipsed an
the ages and that changed the world's
civilizations. Now, another century
has elapsed and the world is facing
the morning of a new epoch. Today
the world is making its tight for finan
cial and Industrial freedom, and again
we see the government, the commer
cial interests and the powerful Influ
ences of Boclety in opposition and
atrlvtnt to defeat the new movement
But the hand of Omnipotence has
npver been stayed. Evolution has
never been arrested, and human prog
ress has never been stopped by the
forces of organized selfishness. This
mnvAment for industrial freedom Is
the new and next unfolding of the
great flower of man s progress, and
the new century upon which we are
entering will see it blossom and glad
den the souls of men with its beauty
and its fraerance. Just how It will
coma, lust who must fight and who
must die, we know not The religious
martyr could not tell wno would, be
hurnt at the stake, nor when their
cause should triumph; but with deep
convictions they stood tirm, ana, ai
thnneh the earth trembled, the race
was delivered. Our forefathers could
not foresee Bunker Hill. Lexington or
Torktown; but with high resolve they
want forth to battle, and man. en
nobled by freedom, embarked on a
nigner mission, so, iouay, we kuu
not what must vet be borne, nor how
much must yet be suffered, but we do
know that this cause must trlumpn.
nd if this feneration of men cannot
furnish the heroes who will fight the
battles of Justice and push forward
th. ri of nroeress. the Almighty will
raise a generation of men that will
do it And, with industrial and finan
cial freedom, with the establishment
of a broader and higher Justice, will
come a nobler conscience; and hand in
hand with these will come happiness
to humanltr. Industry must be freed
from the burdens and restrictions due
to vicious laws and still more vlcjoua
ritems. and the hand of toll must
have a more equitable share of -the
fruits of that toll. Justice and the
higher welfare of . man require new
systems to take the nlace of the com
MtltlT svstem in all cases in which
the competitive system has entirely
failed, and in those cases in which the
competitive system, when left to work
. out its ultimate results, tends to de
troy all that is noble in man.
ladaatrial Slavery.
Glancing back at man's industrial
history we find that it has been
long struggle with brute force, but the
progress made has been wonderful
From the aboriginal . condition in
, which man literally devoured his fel
low man after the manner of wild
beasts up to the condition which we
see today In w,lch he seeks to de
vour only the ibatance of his toll la
a tremendous stride, and in taking
this ttride he has come up through a
great variety of. conditions, each of
which for the time seemed best adapt
ed to his protection In his struggle
again superior brute force. It took
the world a long time to acquire even
perception of right and wrong in the
simplest cases. Might was the sole
standard of right for ages; ever after
it was recognized that one man has
no right to rob another, it was con
sidered permissible and even honor
able for a band of men, under pretense
of war, to despoil a peaceable people.
After the family relationship, the
tribal relationship and a variety of
other conditions, what is known as
the competitive system acquired sway
throughout most of the civilized world.
This system marks a certain stage in
man's development, and it has been
claimed for it that it bad a tendency
to make him self-reliant, and there
fore to make htm capable of the high
est achievement In this system, what
Darwin called the "fittest" (he should
have said the "toughest") survive, and
the weaker of necessity go- to the
ground. And by and by it was dis
covered that while this system did
tend to make man self-reliant and to
develop his individuality, yet under it
the nobler elements of man s nature,
kindness, generosity, pity, were appar
ently a hindrance to his struggle;
that Inasmuch as the struggle was con
stantly in an environment of brute
force the man who had the greatest
cunning and controlled the greatest
brute force must win; in short, that
if this system is left to go on to work
out its ultimate results it will tend to
produce a race of hyenas, sharp, keen
and fierce, but destitute of those ele
ments that ennoble human life. See
ing this, some great men whose heartr
went out to humanity have long cast
about for some way of deliverance.
Various remedies and systems have
been suggested, a few of which have
been partially and imperfectly tried.
They "looked through a glass dark
ly." They Baw here and there a ray
of light amid general gloom and en
deavored to follow. They were like
the Infant crying in the night, an in
fant crying for the light, with no lan
guage but a cry.
Th. Financial Question.
There Is the great financial question,
the effort on the part of the tollers
and producers of America to restore
one of the great money metals of the
world to the function and position
which it had held for ages. By stealth
and by fraud one of the money metals
of the world was demonetized by gov-
ernmental action; not by commerce,
not by the Industries and enterprises
of the world, but by the strong arm ol
the government, wielded by chlcans
and the greed of the world. As the re
sult of this act the world's volume ol
actual money was gradually reduced
by nearly one-half; and, as the world's
volume of money tends to determine
the selling price of property. It follows
that the property of the world, and
particularly farms and farm products,
fell In the Belling price by nearly one-
half, while the debts and fixed charge
remained the eame. And even today,
when we are told that the farmer la
prosperous, he Is selling his products
at Just about one-half what he former
ly got This, determines his purchas
iug power and of necessity determine
his social status. By reducing his pur
chasing power to about one-half whal
it formerly was, by depriving him ol
his ability to buy at the factory and
at the store as he formerly did, th
great American market has been de
stroyed to a large extent, and we art
looking abroad In foreign lands for
markets for our goods, when we would
find a greater market than we could
possibly supply right at home if wc
would again restore the farmer's pur
chasing power 4o what it would be 11
the world's prices of products were
fixed by, a volume of money consisting
of both metals, Instead of being fixed
by a volume of money consisting 0
only one metal.
Parmer and - Trasta.
At present the farmer has to pa)
' trust prices that Is, prices arbitrarily
made high by monopolies for every'
thing that he buys; but he has to sell
his products not only In the open mar
ket of the world, but he has to sell
them on a single gold standard value,
which is only about one-half as high
as a bimetallic standard of value would
be. This great wrong having been
done to all property-owners and to al
debtors, by government, must be tin-
done by government; and, Inasmuch
as the powerful moneyed classes of the
country are opposed to having the gov
ernment right this great wrong, wi
must have a political Dirty with stiff!
(clent moral courage and sufficient de
rotlon to the cause of Justice to can
out this reform without the aid of the
moneyed classes. ,
Enthroned Dollar. Enslaved Xn
Again, 'the fierce commercialism of
.he age, which has tended to enthrone
the dollar and enslave the man, has
lowered the standards and has cov
ered the land with corruption until
corrupt concentrations of money .wield
ed by unscrupulous men, have acquired
such a complete control of the gov
ernments, national, state and "munici
pal, that the people are almost helpless.
Laws destructive to their interests are
passed through bribery, and laws nec
essary for their protection are kept oft
the statute book by bribery. To meet
this new and unfortunate condition it
Is necessary that the people be given
the power. In certain emergencies, to
legislate direct, either by a popular
vote to put specific acts upon the stat
ute book or to declare certain specific
acts already on the statute book to be
null and void. This would destroy the
business of bribery, because it would
render the fruits of bribery worthless.
No corporation would buy a legislature
or a city council If the acts of that leg
islature or council could be nullified by
the people. '
Initiative and Referendum.
In some countries of the world they
have lpng had a system of this kind.
They call it Initiative and referendum,
meaning that the people shall in cer
tain emergencies have the power to in
itiate legislation and shall have the
power to have legislation that already
exists referred to a vote of the people,
Thle system has worked marvelously
well where It has been tried, and we
must have a political party in our
country with sufficient devotion to free
institutions and republican government
to establish it here. It is not a ques
tion to speculate about. It Is not , a
chimerical Idea; it is simply a ques
tion of self-preservation.
Trial by Jury.
Again, the Anglo-Saxon race has
ihed moft blood to maintain the right
of trial by jury and the right of free
speech than for any other purposes.
And the establishing of the right of
trial by Jury and of free speech Is re
garded by the world as the greatest
achievement In the nistory of govern
ment. Both our federal constitution
and our various state constitutions
guarantee those rights to every Amer
ican citizen. Yet within the last few
years federal Judges, appointed through
corporation influence, and sitting on
the bench with a corporation bias,
have stricken down trial by Jury and
brushed It aside with a mere wave of
the hand. And they have established
what is now known as government by
injunction in Its stead a system under
which the liberties of the American
people become subject to the whim, the
caprice and prejudice "of a federal
judge. It isa complete subversion of
the most sacred rights of man. - It Is
the assassination of free institutions.
Even In monarchical Europe no such a
system would be tolerated for a day.
If It is to continue here, then the re
public is at an end. Then the high
est hopes of man must be broken, and
we will be governed by a money oli
garchy, governing through the crea
tures whom it puts on the bench. Need
I say to you, my friends, that to put an
end to this system and to re-establish
in all its sacredness and all its purity
trial by Jury, the bulwark of the lib
erties of the English-speaking people,
we need a political party that stands
for something higher than spoils? We
need a party that has high ideals, and
that is capable of lofty devotion and
great self-sacrifice.
Th. Democratic Party.
What about the other great party?
For the first forty years of our history
it was the party of progress, that gave
to the world the highest ideals and
shaped the destiny of our country,
For thirty years after the war it stood
for practically the same things that
the republican party stood for. ' That
is, it had become a mere convenience
of political and commercial manipula
tors who used it to further their own
ends and amass fortunes. During
these thirty dark years it held out no
Inspiration, it pointed to no great prin
ciple, It espoused no great cause, it
made no heroic fight for anything; but
the Almighty has wisely provided that
every lane shall have a turn, 'find that
there shall be an end to all things,
And there came an end to the lane of
trimming, trading and trickery in
which we had marched; three years
ago the party came out of the lowlands
and took a position on the hill top of
progress. It repudiated the men who
had degraded and betrayed it; it flung
new banners to the breeze; it espoused
the cause of humanity, and it adopted
a new declaration of American lnde
pendence. Standing for the noblest
and highest thought of the time it has
drawn to its standards the patriotic in
telligence of America. A new set of
men have come to the front; men who,
instead of seeking only selfish ends on
the low plane of brutality, stand out in
the sun, ready to make every sacrifice
for the welfare of the race. These
men have high ideals, and the party
guided by these men Is capable of
dealing with the great problems that
confront us; Is capable of leading the
American people onto the great plane
of industrial freedom, just as their
predecessors a century ago led this re
public unto the plane of political free
dom.
Hearing th. Promised Land.
My friends, we are not yet in the
promised land! We have yet a mighty
struggle before us. In fact, the great
conflict Is only begun. Mighty bat
ties are yet to be fought, great sacri
fices must yet be made; reverses, de
feats and humiliation may yet have
to be endured, but we are conscious
' of standing for the right conscious of
tandiaa- for a biaber humanity, con
scious of being In harmony with the
evolution of the age, conscious of
moving along the line marked out by
the Almighty for the guidance of His
people. And we know that the cause
we represent will triumph, but until
the hour of final victory we must be
on our guard, and we must be con
stantly ready for every conflict.
Watch th. Trimmers.
First, we must be on our guard in
our own party, for . those - interests
which have dominated the. party so
long have not yet surrendered, but are
seeking in every way possible to get
control. Should they success It would
defer the hopes of mankind and in
tensify the struggles of the toilers of
this land; it would postpone the day
of deliverance. Ever since '96 these
interests have been scheming, organ
izing and systematically working to
again get control of the machinery of
the party and dominate its councils.
They have talked about harmony,
talked about getting the offices, talk
ed about everything except a high idea
and noble purpose, or a great end.
They succeeded in getting control of
most of the mayors of the large Amer
ican cities; they got Into friendly com
munication with what are known as
county eat politicians all over the
country, who simply want office and
do not care whether it is Christ or
Beelzebub who is mentioned In the plat
form. The idea was industriously cir
culated that if we would take down the
banners we hoisted in '96, if we would
abandon the principles we declared for,
if we would again straddle every vital
issue and fool as many people as pos
sible, then we could win and get the
offices, then we could again elevate
small men to high positions. But they
forget that we have passed the turn
in the lane; they forget that the six
and one-half million men who fought
with us in '96 had been taught for sev
eral years to hold their heads up and
to work for a principle; that these men
had been taught to be Independent
and to assert their manhood, and that,
consequently, while they might be be
trayed they could not be delivered, and
that, therefore, any scheme which con
templated the control of conventions
by fraud of bribery or trickery, any
scheme which contemplated changing
the great platform 'of '96 would lose
to the democratic party fifty men where
it Would possibly bring it one. It
would lose the men of high purpose
and strong convictions who are do
ing the world's work, and gain a few
men who represent the corrupt com
mercialism of the age, and who would
render the party incapable of any high
mission in case we should succeed and
they were to dominate its councils.
The machinations and systematic plans
to which I have referred were car
ried bo far, the schemers were be
coming bo bold and the trimmers were
becoming so active that about seven
or eight months ago it was felt that
something should ,be done to check
their activity; felt that something
should be done to serve notice on that
class of politicians throughout the
country that the Chicago, platform
democrats, who constituted the great
bulwark of the party, would stand no
trifling, that while they might be be
trayed they could not be delivered.
For if syndicates, chicanery, bribery
and corrupt commercial interests must
dominate the government we want the
republican party to do it. It is today
the especial mission of that party to
represent those interests and the dem
ocratic party must not embark on that
line of business. This country doesn't
need two syndicate parties. The dem
ocratic party has an entirely different
mission. -
Why Altgeld Ron for Mayor of Chleart
Moved by these considerations, and
feeling that it was necessary to pre
vent the banners of our great party
from being lowered, we entered the
municipal contest last spring in Chi
cago, making a fight for the Chicago
platform and municipal ownership. We
made the fight for the purpose ol
maintaining great principles, and for
the purpose of serving notice on the
politicians of the country that if the
party were betrayed It could not be
delivered, and that If they wanted to
win, then good politics, to say nothing
of principle, would require them to
stand faithfully by the Chicago plat
form and help the party carry out its
great mission. -
Savins- th. Platform of 1896.
Here in this Kreat state of New
York you have formed an organiza
tion for the same nurnose.' And let
me say that no man ever embarked
in a nobler work. Recent events have
indicated that the people are standing
firm throughout the land, and very
recent events indicate that some of the
politicians have noticed this fact and
are' preparing to accept the situation.
Whether the conspiracy to overthrow
th Chlcazo nlatform will be aban
tinned, or whether it will go on, I do
not know; but, my friends, we must
take no chances. The people of
America are with us and they are in
earnest, and we must see to it that
they are not betrayed. We welcome
oil men to our ranks who believe in
the great mission of the democratic
party and who are ready to neip 11
arrv out that mission. And, on the
other hand, we say to all men who do
not believe in the mission of the
nnrtr ' who are not willing to help es
tahiiah the miehtv reforms for which
Providence has chosen it: Your place
is not in tne democratic party, ana m
manw thins: for you to do is to seel
those councils and that party that are
in harmony with your idea, we look
nnt in tha nasL We harbor no malice
Our face Is toward the sun, we are
holding out our hands. If you love
tnnr country, then come wltn us.
Let me now say in conclusion that
our skies are brightening. We hav
not lost a single devotee, while all
nv.r tha land men are rallying to out
standards who fought us in 96 and
wno are now determined to overthrow
the iniquity they helped to ' create.
They are weary of duplicity in the
White House, they see that the re
public is being destroyed, and they
look with hope to the Jefferson of Ne
braska. We live in momentous times;
the age is pregnant with mighty issues.
Let us stand firm, let us rise to the
occasion and great will be the Joy
of an emancipated people.
THE PERCENTAGE PLAN.
Bow It Haa Worked Applied to
Toronto's Street Railways.
According to the Toronto Mail and
Empire of Au. 10 last, the earnings of
the street railways of that city for ten
months of the present fiscal year have
already passed the million dollar mark.'
By the terms of the franchise under
which the Toronto street railway plant
is operated the company was required
to pay into the city treasury 10 per
cent of these earnings. The city treas
urer has therefore received a check for
12,721, which is the municipal share
of the earnings for July.
The increase of the earnings and per
centages for four years is shown by the
following figures for July;
'"' Gross receipts." Percentage.

July, 1807 ., 106,750 60 , ; 8,540 00
July, 1880 87.701 87 , - 7.020 90
Toronto bought her street railroads
in 1891 and operated them six months
at a profit of $35,000 per month and
then sold them for what they cost on
the following conditions: Eight hun
dred dollars per mile per year to be paid
into the city treasury, 8 per cent of the
gross receipts np to $1,000,000, 10 per
cent np to $1,500,000 of the gross re
ceipts, 12 per cent from $1,500,000 to
$3,000,030 of the gross receipts, 15 per
cent on the receipts np to $3,000,000
and 20 per cent on all receipts over $3.
000,000. After 20 years the city can
take back the plant at its actual value.
In 1894 the city received $58,000
mileagd rental and $78,000 in percent
age cf earnings. In 1895 the city re
ceived $60,000 for mileage rental and
$78,000 in percentages on its earnings.
Up to 1899 the street railroads had paid
into the city treasury of Toronto a lit
tle over $1,000,000.
The experience of Toronto in dealing
with .her traction companies furnishes
incontrovertible proof of the wisdom of
the policy which secures to a munici
pality a fair compensation for the nse
of the streets based upon a fixed per
centage of gross earnings. Chicago

MUNICIPAL REFORM.
Baa Francisco's Mayor Tells of th.
Two Vital Needs of the Dy.
"What do you think are the most
urgent needs today in the line of mu
nicipal reform t" I asked of Mayor
Phelan.
"Direct legislation and municipal
ownership of public utilities," replied
the mayor, lighting a fresh cigar.
- "The advanced thought of the coun
try not only considers public ownership
and operation of pnblio utilities as de
sirable and practicable, but that it is
necessary to save our free government
By corrupt control quasi public cor
porations are able to give expression to
their demands through the very forms
of law itself. They fix excessive fates
and evade their burdens of government
They have become superior to the law,
They usurp ' the - power of taxation.
Now, by public ownership and direct
legislation we propose to restore the
power to the people.
"This work is a great patriotic serv
ice, and upon its success depends the
perpetuity of American institutions.
The people are realizing that they have
merely the form of power, whereas the
substance has been taken from them,
and if there be no means proposed with
in the constitution affording them re
lief, revolution cannot be averted, and
to avert revolution by inaugurating
those reforms in time is a duty which
shall appeal to the thoughtful and the
patriotic.
"We are fending forth our young
men to fight in foreign lands for their
country. Let us Bee to it that they have
a country of which they can be proud.
Let's think and see things as they are.
Do not let us be led astray into making
the mistakes of Fourth of July orators
who believe that everything is for the
best in this best of all possible worlds.
Let ns not be led into error by closing
our eyes to these facta It is a noble
thing to dio for one's country, but it is
a nobler thing to help make one's coun
try worth dying for. "Charles &
Aiken in September Ainslee'a
A ProR-resalT. Mayor.
Mayor Snow of Oakland. Cal, In a
recent message said on the question of
municipal ownership of waterworks:
The piping of the city and the own
ership of a water supply are only possible
through an issue of boncla. These bonds,
however, will never be a burden if in
telligently disposed of. as the funda are
required for the plant The income
from water rate- will be sufficient to
redeem the water bonds as they mature,
and also to pay the interest thereon,
though these rates be reduced 75 per
cent from the present schedule of
chargea That is ttfsay. if a supply of
water for the city be so provided to the
users as to insure the sale of it when
piped to the property of the household
er, then the ratepayer who is now
called upon to pay $4 per month for
water will be charged $1 per month for
the same service, and the net Income
so derived will pay the interest on the
water bonds issued and provide also for
the annual redemption of one-fortieth.
The cost of water pipe has recently ad
vanced beyond precedent If npon in
vestigation it is c ncluded that this
cost may soon be -lowered, then common
business prudence suggests that the in
vestigation of the water supply of the
county go on as yon have commenced
for 12 months if necessary.
