the unwildom , In my juthgiiieiit. or thegl
now labor parties . Their chief effect Is 10
divide , to unsettle , to embitter.
ALL FAVOR LABon.
Tealy every party In Pnrland Is a labor
party. They are all out fishing , and they
? ; L'r are oil fishing for the workIngman. Nor do
they fish with proms alone. Both tortes
and liberals can point to many things done.
I Is quLo true that neither has produced a
workln : lan's millenlumn. With so many
other factors entering Into the problem , no
pat ) . can do this merely by iegtslatlon. But
with two parties balancIng each ether , the

In judgment upon them at the polls , with
full power In his hands to set up one and
put down the others there cannot fail to br
some progress , and that whIch 15 gained Is
sure. In those conditions , to become a poInt
of vantage In the pursuit ot still betep
things ,
Most creditable 15 It to English common-
, ' , . sense that the great mass at British work-
'j - men see this point and govern themselves
accordingly. I would be well If all bad this
gif ot Inslgh1 As I Is , however there are
some who think that strength lies In division
rather than unity . In flocking by themselves
rather than In leavening the mass , In Independence -
I dependence rathpr thou co-peraton , In
forming new parties rather than In holding
the lash over those already organized. What
the Independent labor party has accom-
pushed In this electoll the reader has
plshell
- . - - - learned elsewhere. 1 give here. as a
curIosity , a couple ot paragraphs from the
appeal made by that party to working class
voters. I Is a wild shriek , which Is per-
imps justifiable and perfectly true In some
. .i i of the statements It immakes huL which , In
the policy ot redress It suggests Is decidedly
erratic and lit-timed.
b A POLITICAL : ANI I'STO.
/ ' 'lce , crime and pmverty , " says this
startling manifesto , "ure rampant In time
land , waged are falling In every trade and
the unemployed question Is breaking down
tie trade unions Women's labor Is dIsplac-
Ing that of men , and children are thrusting
the women out of employmenl. Our
asylums Jails and workhouses are fled to
overflowing vlth lunatics , criminals and
paupers , most of whom have been made so
because the ) have been denied from their
births the opportunity ot leading decent lives.
Half a million at the children who attend
our schools are In semi-staraton. One In
ever four of tlo working classes dies a
puper , and one-hal ot those who reach the
age at 65 are burled In a patlpPr's grave. "
This Is I an appalling picture of conditions ,
b' and equally lurid and startling are the sug-
geslons which follow : "We have all the
l . erects or famine In our midst , " says this
( J thrilling apPlal , "and yet there Is no lack ot
wealh In time land , The land Is capable at
supporting twice our population . yet because
or the monopoly of land , 30.000,000 ot acres
are lying uncultivated , whist the agricul-
tural laborers are clamoring to bo allowed to .
till the soil. The Independent labor part
would substitute production for use for pro-
ductol for pronto and would carr out the
mlxlm , 'I a man wi not labor neither
shal he eat. ' The tory party answers the
cry of our hungry workers by coercion acts
and jingoism. The liberals try to solve tIme
labor problem by disestablshing the Welsh
church , or passing resolutions on the House
or Lords. We ask you 10 leave the runks or
the enemies of your class and unite together

the object of thIs independent labor party
15 , a its constitution declares , "Aim industrial -
durlal commonwealth , founded

one very drastic feature ot its policy In
t elections Is its earnest feature to working

% which would mean , In reference to the last
t vlection . that In 630 out or 6O constituencies
they were nol to vote at all. Still another
wing at independent labor , the Social Demo-
catc Federation . which bad four candidates
In the fell , presented its claIm to the workIng -
. i.- Ing class Public In a bombastc appeal like
? the following : "I.'or our part wo rejoice at
the overthrow or the meanest and 10lt
hypocritical faction that ever played fast
and lose with the welfare at a people. Let
I be our duty to convert the defeat of the

trickster and trimmers having been Ills

prlvlegell classes and the Ileole. between the

ot establishing temperance cauteerms. Stop-

SUIISTANTIAL i3FIrITS.
Still other admInistratve reforms tend-
lug to benefit the working classes have been
the Isue ot circulars , three year In succession -
sion , at he beginning or winter urging local
authorities 10 provide work for the unem-
1.loyed. Suggestions that ! uarlinns should
set the unemployed at work on the land at
reasonable wages. InstructIons that greater
liberty should be exercised during Inclement
weather In regard to relief. Permission
granted to the Whltechlpel and Camber-
well guardians to send their nnemployed to
the farms of the Land Colonization society
and time Salvation army. Appointment of a
number of represenltvo worklngmel aR
magistrates and efforts to restore the political
balance ot the maglstracy 11nlmum wage
ot ofco at works park employes raised to
24 shilngs ( $0) ) , tIme wage of similar em-
ployos under the London county council.
Such are some of the things done , or attempted -
tempted , most of them done , In behalf of
labor within three years. I should tot be
forgotten . moreover . that the establishment
of parish and county councils has come
aleut In that time. This Is a far-relchlng
measure ot working class emancipation ,
which virtually takes the management of
EnglIsh l villages out of the bands of the
Ilarson and squire and confers It upon the
( arm laborer. 'To be slre wage have not
been much advanced. On Um whole there
hal been no amivamice Nine dolars a week

questIon , I Is a noteworthy fact that the
great demand of English labor headers Is
not so much , In any direct way , for an increase -
crease of wages , ns for an Improvement In
the conditions existing , chiefly , ot course In
those economic conditions which
condilons are respun-
sible both for the low wage rate and the erer-
Increasing scarcity of employment In this
