zens, -believing, that -the .wanton de
struction of property of noncombatants
by English military authorities in
South Africa (without precedent in
modern times, save by English ofllcers
in the war of the American revolution)
Is a source of needless suffering to
the people of the,South. African. repub

military operations -of the British

England as well as by America, do
most solemnly remonstrate and protest
against the acts and things in the fore

further, , ..
Resolved, That we and each of us do
hereby pledge ourselves to use our ut
most powers to make this our protest,
known to our several representatives
in the American congress, now newly

these resolutions to be brought to the
attention of the president of the
United States with our most respect

of -Washington of May . 8, 1871, be
. strictly enforced, and that the use of
American ports and . waters be hence
forth denied to vessels operating un

president of, these United States will
employ every possible means to bring
to an end the horrors of concentra

Its unexampled ferocity and enormous
cost of life and treasure has astounded
the civilized world. And be it further

it might be thought that that policy
would never again be -tried. But the
British have tried It in South Africa
with such dire results that the world
is aghast as the slaughter of innocent

concentration camps. And now the
United States is to do the same thing
in Samar and other insurrectionary
islands in the Philippines. That it
will be attended with the usual death
rate among women and children goes
without saying. The administration
has a good deal to answer for and this

would be too easily,; detected and too
quickly denounced to admit of the sup
position that the roads would De man
aged in other than a most efficient
manner. Consequently we do not De
lieve that the public would be losers,
from the point of, view of .transporta
tion facilities, if the outcome of the
Northern Securities . company deal
should be to turn the railroads in
question over to the government of the
United.; States. " Whether; the govern
ment would be justified in taking them
at the prices which the present owners
would be likely to insist on, is quite
another question. , No doubt a most
audacious attempt will be made "to
stick . the government," if ever the
question of state ownership of the
railroads comes actively to the front."
Things of. this kind are constantly
occurring and should be an inspira
tion to every populist worker. Many
a progressive man in the democratic
party is saying: "God bless the pop
ulist - party. It is the leader of ad
vanced economic thought for 'all the
civilized nations." And after saying
that, he tightens up his belt and tries
as much as his. environment will let
him to push on to the firing line. The
real firing line today in sociology and
political economy is that occupied by
the populist party. That was what
the party was organized for. The men
who laid the foundations were not af
ter offices, but after reform. They
have always been an independent body
of thinkers and fighters, bound by no
partisan prejudices and ready to cast
their votes where they would do the
most good.' That they have done in
the past, and without doubt It will bo
the course that they will pursue in the
future. They have had traitors and
self-seekers in their ranks men who
were only after . the ofllces but the
mass of populist voters stand today as
solid as a Swiss phalanx, with many

himself upon the spears of the enemy

This bill contains so much of merit
that it deserves to become a law, but
few of that kind of bill3 are liable to

When every other argument fails,
the republican party attempts the jus
tification of its Philippine policy by the
declaration that "it pays." Let us see
whether it does or not.
A comparative statement of the com
merce of the Philippine islands for
the fiscal year 1901 and 1900, pre
pared in the division of insular affairs
Of the war department, shows that the
total value of imports of merchandise
from the United States was $2,855,685,
an increase of 72.4' per cent over the
previous year; of the United Kingdom,
$6,956,145, increase 76.3 per cent; of
Germany, $2,135,252, increase 76.5 per

THE FIRST FUSION
' : "; '
, i" : ' ' r. i ' ' ' - .-
It wm with pTffamizea tebor It did not
Ir out so Well ma the One Bryan Ef- j
Y feeted mad Thet Elected Helcoaab
The first populist state, convention
that assembled in Nebraska - was held
in Bohannan's hall and Allen Root
was elected chairman. At that con
vention a fusion .was effected with the
Omaha labor organizations. To effect
the fusion, the labor organizations
were allowed a representation in the
convention very far beyond what their
numbers entitled them to have. Then
all the demands of organized labor at
that time were Inserted as part of the
agreement in the platform, including
the demand for an eight-hour day.
That fusion brought slight returns. If
the writer remembers correctly the
populist party polled about 700 votes
in Omaha at that election, where there
were several thousand members of
the labor unions, but he had the satis
faction a short time afterwards of
telling them what he thought of them
in a speech delivered at Jefferson
square. . '. . - .. Y- '.' '. '
The . next fusion was when Bryan
got the . democratic state convention
to indorse Holcomb and that secured
the first victory of the populist party
in Nebraska.
All this time the editor of The Inde
pendent, then a writer on the Omaha
dailies, was telling the labor organi
zations that there were questions of
far greater importance to wage-workers,
than any .that the organizations
were discussing, that they were funda
mental, that not only hours of labor,
but everything else that they held dear
were at stake. .They would not listen
and most of them went on voting the
republican ticket for fear that they
would be ruined by the "pauper labor
of Europe." The first protest against
the tyranny of courts was made: in a
resolution - offered by. Father ; Snyder
and adopted by a populist state con
vention held in Lincoln. Still the or
ganizations did not wake up and went
on building up .by their votes a sys
tem of capitalism - and , plutocracy
which v was grounded in principles,
the application of which, would de
stroy everything for which organized
labor was contending, c - . . '
If the labor organizations; had fused
with the populists air over the coun
try at that time and with the Bryan,
wing of the democracy when it started
out to leave the dead past to bury It3
dead, and march on to better things,
the 6vils of which the federation of
labor now complains and against
which it now protests so vehemently
would never have existed. Populism
led the way to jthe emancipation of
labor and Bryan-tallied the cohorts of
democracy to an advocacy of the same
cause, 3 but organized labor for the
most part and especially in the middle
and eastern states, cast their votes for
capitalism and the party of capitalists
andvtrusts. Now they protest and the
following resolutions were" adopted by
the federation of labor with instruc
tions to present them to the president
and both branches of congress:
"The courts of this country, and
more particularly the federal courts,
have assumed all ' the powers of the
government; have declared unlawful
many things never before suspected of
being illegal; within the last year
blanket injunctions have been issued
preventing anybody and everybody
to whom notice of the injunctions
should in anyway come from contri
buting money or food to persons who
were the victims of " manufacturers'
lockouts this in New York and Ken
tucky; but it remained for a federal
court, the United States circuit court,
northern district Of Illinois, to enjoin
the members of a labor union trom
mentioning to each other or to any
body the fact that a concern in Cin
cinnati was non-union (Globe Tailor
ing Company versus Custom Clothing
Makers' Union, No. 26038). These
courts make the laws, construe the
laws, and through their marshals en
force them. They do not seem to rec
ognize that the constitution provides
for a legislative and executive as well
as judicial branch of government. ,
"Under the present system no work
man can ever learn what rights, if
any, he has. These rights, if any ex
ist, depend entirely upon the Individ
ual point of view of the judge who hap
pens to preside over the court before
whom the workman is brought. No
jury is called: no change of venue
provided for; there Is -no limit to the
punishment This Judge made the law,

a violation of it. " ' ' '
"We respectfully petition that such
action be taken in the matter as will
at least tend to remedy this condition
of affairs we, particularly desire the
speedy passage, of such legislation as
will prohibit federal Judges; and their
masters in chancery from granting ex
parte injunctions and restraining or
ders Yin labor matters, and that you
limit and restrict the power of fedi
eral judges to issue injunctions in
matters of dispute between employers
and workingmen." ?
When years ago the populists In Its
state and national conventions pro
tested against government by in June-,
tion and Bryan lent his masterful elo
quence to the cause of the wage-worker,
these men turned a de af ear and
went on voting for the establishment
of trusts and the tyrannyiof courts.
Now at last their eyes seem to have
been ;openedY- Before they had eyes
and saw not, ears and heard , not.
"The conditions- described in the
above resolutions have been predicted
in ten thousand populist speeches. In
the west they have been effective and
perhaps 90 per cent of the members of
labor organizations for the last three
or four years have voted with the pop
ulists and Bryan democrats. But in
the east they have all lived in dread of
the "pauper labor of Europe." One
could go into a factory there and find
a hundred of these so-called "paupers"
at work, with here and there an Am
erican mixed up with them. The Am
erican was always a republican voting
the ticket on account of the "pauper
labor of Europe," which surrounded
him on every side and he could not sea
it. He continued to imagine that it
was all far away across the wide, deep
sea.
If some sort of fusion could be ef
fected that would bring these millions
of toilers to vote for their own Inter
ests, Instead of imperialism and a ju
dicial system that rules them with a
rod of Iron, it seems to The Indepen
dent that it would be the right thing
to do. .
