THE GROWTH OF TRADE ! "In England , " says John Morley , "trades unions have como to boa : much a recognized institution ol society as town counciia or boards ol guardians. Their loaders Bit in par liament , their delegates ilino with the lord mayor. Labor , for a time con tented , 13 urging no fresh claims , and capital , having learned to respect the strength of its copartner , rofraina from pressing demands calculated to provoke resistance. " * The United States io about entering upon a struggle whoso ending in Eng land inoro than ton years ago , after. nioro than n quarter of u century ol bitter conflict , is largely responsible for the existing friendly relations be tween capital and labor in that coun try. Trades unionism in England was for many yean rendered illegal by atatutory enactment. Long and dreary lock-outs , strikes which depleted tin. rcecrvoa of capital , and wasted tin savings of labor , wore numerous ant often repeated. The antagonism be tween employer 'and employed , grow out of mutual suspicion and injuntico , was fostered by the fears' of the public. Wealth , which never hesi tated ' to organize and combine - bine to secure greater roturni on capital , denounced as criminal any combination of labor to effect an improvement in wages , and a better ment in the condition of the laboring classes. The terms of communist , radical , incendiary , which are now so freely hurling against American trades unions were used unsparingly against English organizations of workingmen , nud their loaders were denounced as social firebrands , enemies to society , and leaders of a revolt against good government , and the established prin ciples of a sound political economy. The contests between labor and capital in England carried on , on the one side by the great manufacturers and on the othsr by the trades unions , finally resulted in the establishment of the principle of arbitration , From tbo midst of the much feared trades union arose such loaders as Joseph Chamberlain and Joseph Arch , who defended the principloaof the labor organizations on the hustings and in the pubjia halls , and finally carried their appeal to the doors of parliament. Capital had always been in possession of the public ear , Labor was now to bo heatd through the proes in the politi cal canvasa and on the lioor of the 'house pf cemmous itself. The revo lution brought about by the trades unions was a mighty one , There had been much legislation in favor of cap itftl ; now parliament found itscl forced by a tide of public opinion t legislate for labor. Among the vie lories galnod by the English trade unions , were laws respecting th hours of labor , the forbidding o "Iruck shops" in connection will mines and factories , preventing the employment of children , compollinf the supervision of workshops , factorio and mine * , and legalizing organization of labor for the mutual benefit of the ! members , Parliamentary comrhis sions investigated laborers' homes pried into the ventilation and safctj of buildings in which labor was cm ployed , and reported upon the average earning capacity of different trades Employers were brought to sco tlm confidence could bo brought to take the place of distrust just as soon ny omplyes were convinced tha they would receive fair treatment a the hands of their employers. Boards of arbitration were organized In every Branch of trade , composed in mosl cases of three mon , otio selected from ho trades union , ono by the omployot and another by the two combined. Within ton years ono hundred ant thirty great strikes have been fatinfao- torily settled by these courts , ant millions of dollars saved to the nation. Trades unionism , no longer denounced 'rom pulpit and platform , now flour- shcs in the popular confidence , and n the words of Mr. Morley , "is as much a organized institution of aocio- , y as town councils or boards of guard ians. " Wo believe that the people of the United States have no less reason foe confidence in the growth of Trades un- oniem in this country than Englant , o-day has in her own labor organizi- , ions. The American workingman is much moro nt the mercy of his em ployer than the English man. The arrogance of capi- A ! has boon fed upon the mpotoncy of labor. Isolated unions mvo been too weak to make their in fluence felt throughout the country and a threatened strike in ono state ma boon quickly suppressed on , his account , by an importation o abor from another. The great ncct of trades unionism in the Unltct 3tatoa has boon combination ant organization , and towards this one affairs are drifting very rapidly. The "Knights of Labor" is the first at tempt on a largo scale to ouablo laboi to meet capital on on equal footing It was founded in 1870 by seven Phil adclphia workingmon. Its contra Idea was the removal of trade bias and craft distinctions in order to unite all classes of workmen in defense ol the common interests of their order. The organization is simple. Each , rado society in a town or village can , f it is sufficiently numerous , form tsolf into a local assembly or ledge of the Knights of Labor , or it can unite with other local societies in order to form auoh cm assembly. Each of thcso local assemblies eendc delegates to the district assembly , which oloota and controls the execu tive board. Local assemblies meol once a week , district assemblies once i month , or , if need bo , once a fort night. The grand assembly moots onro n year. Each local assembly de votes 20 per cent of its not income tea a resistance , or strikoifund , which is at .ho . disposal of the executive boaid. Women are admitted to the or ganization as freely as mon , nor is 1 confined to the wogo-oarning class , All professional men but doctors and , awyors are freely admitted. Saloon cecpora and bankers are excluded. At present the Knighta of Labor joaat 2,000 branches scattered over , ho Union , and their number is daily increasing , Before entering into any ndustrial conflict the oxecutlvo boari propose arbitration to the employers , and in many cases they succeed in averting n strike. Wlwr however , their mediation fails , they support the strikers with contributions druwn 'rom every local umcmbly in the asso ciation , The headquarters of the knights ol labor are at Pittsburg ; their strength ios in the mining regions of Penn sylvania and in the western states , [ n the cast , owing to the prevalence of the truck system such at least is ho explanation of the secretary oi ho order and the keen competition of French-Canadian labor , the knights count but few members. The follow- ng is a summary of the loading lolutu in their programme : "Tho lastago of u lion law , the abolition ol ho prison contract system , the pro- libition of the employment of uhil- [ run under fourteen years of ago , xmipulsory education , the passage ol n employer's liability law , cash pay. nont of wages at the end of each voek , reduction of the hours of labor , egislation for the reservation of the ublio lands , the use of greenback urroncy , unti-Ohincto laws and a ovornmont bureau for labor statis- ics. " This is a wide reaching chodulo some of the details of which ro open to discussion , The central doa , the abolition of strikes which Iways do tnoro or less damage to oth labor and capital is ono liat will moot with general pproval. Such an organization will eon raise up strong mon fitted to uide its counsel and load its members , This was the cue in England and it rllabo the cue in America. What our country needs Is a hotter under standing of the relations of capita and labor , their mutual interdopon dtnco in their points of conflict , th causes of the strifes and jealousic which grow up between employer anr employe , and the moans best ndoplec to cauao and maintain harmonious ro latlons. In England it was the trade unions which brought about a truce tc the expensive conflicts between manu facturcrs and workingmen , and it tnaj bo that in America the Kpights o Labor may succeed in accotnplishinp the same ond. WE MUST CRUSH THEM. Mr. Cameron in mad , very mad iri deed , according to the dispatches from Philadelphia , where the boss of the Pennsylvania republicans is grinding his toith over the formidable revel within his party. "I never saw the senator in auch a bad temper before , ' said n gentleman who lives in the interior torior of the state. "Ho fairly stormed and in his choicest terms of condemnation nation , committed the whole independent pendent board to the most torrid o zono3. "D n them all , " ho exclaimed claimed , "wo must crush them ; wo'l give them all the fight they want even if wo ha TO to go down with colors flying , 03 the 006 wont down. They must bo crushed. " Mr. Cameron lias cot a big job on his hands. Ho is not the first politician who ntartec out as a crusher in true dramatic style and ended the play in the role of "Tho Crushed Tragedian. " The people , by which wo mean the largo majority of voters who submit to ono man rule and boss methods only unti the boss throws off the mask of a party Moses , have always exhibited a very strong reluctance to submit to the crushing process. Cameron's solo stock in trade has boon his ability to crush the expression of political sentiment in Pennsylvania politics by weighting down the nominating and ol ctora machinery of the atato whenever il dared to oppose hla will. Jnst al prceont his stock has run very low and his boat customers are patronizing a rival concern which is pledged to do a little crushing on behalf of the best blood of the republican party. It is barely possible that Mr. Cameron may exporiunco the ccnsationo of the mon who tried to tickle the hind log of the mule with such disastrous results to his personal appearance , but with n substantial increase of his stock of in formation. The general interest taken in the political contest in Pennsylvania arises from the fooling that in warring against the Cameron dynasty the in dependent republicans are making the first determined battle for a free and unbridled expression of political lontimont throughout the country. Pennsylvania is not the only state which is afflicted by unscrupulous party leaders , or in which tha voice ol the party upon questions of public policy hus boon systemat ically throttled to advance the personal ends of ambitions and cor rupt politicians. Nor is Pennsylvania the solo instance in which opposi tion to the crack of the bcssca whip lias boon mot by the innolont retort that public oontimcnt must be crush ed at nil hazards in order to maintain the nuuromaoy of the fonat the ox- poudo of the many , "Wo must crush ; hom" is the cry of the bosses in every state where aigns of revolt against parly abuses begin to appear. "Wo must crush them" ia the ro- aponno of the political machine of cor porate monopolies to nil organizations created to resist monopoly dictation , and interfere in party method * . The reply of intelligent and thoughtful votoro in every case must bo that ot Lho Pennsylvania independents. Pur ity in political methods , the free nnd unrcatrictod expression of public sen timent , and the assurance of truly representative government must be secured at all coats. If to accomplish this end , it is necessary to withdraw from political organizations which liavo outlived their usefulness becnuBO they no longer voice the will of the niusa of the party whose narao they boar , then no other jcourso remains but open revolt. The only way to overthrow boBBiam , bo it the bossism of unscrupulous party loaders , or the tyrannical des potism of consolidated capital manip ulated by disreputable tricksters , is to shear the locks from these modern Samsons. The people will not submit to bo crushed , and when no other alternative preaents itself , will speed ily organize to crush the crushers. STATE JOTTINGS.

As there is no blame attached herein to the laboring men individu ally or aa organizations , I believe it moots the huarty approval of all law- abiding citizens , The object of the esolution was to fix the censure in ro- ation to calling out the troops whore t properly belonged , and those only vho took advantage of the existence of the strike to create a disturbance are blamed. The report , therefore , iannot bo offensive to any peaceful aboring man. It will afford me ploaauro to address my frionda among the laboring men rhonover I may have the honor of > oing invited ao to do , but as the Sab- > ath day is ono recognized and sot part by our laws as a day of rest and leld sacred by a largo portion of the ommunity aa a day of worship I can- ot consent to take part in a political uass mooting for the purpose of D ublio discussion of political questions n that day.
