WEDNESDAY, APRIL 14,1886/

The Chicago school board will add the manual training system to the course in the high schools of that city.

The vote on Hurd's case will form a subject for an interesting study of the number of honest-minded democrats in the present house.

Sam Jones is to be at Indianapolis two weeks beginning June 6th. Indianapolis is jealous of the attraction Terre Haute is to offer in its races beginning June 8th.

The Crawfordsville Argus-News suggests to its enterprising citizens that what that town wants is an association to solicit and aid industries of every character to locate there. The Argus-News cites the fact that Lafayette and Attica have been much benefitted by such organizations, and that even Indianapolis has adopted the plan.

There is a very just opposition being made to the confirmation of the nomination of Ed. Hawkins to be United States marshal for the district of Indiana. Hawkins was not only an "offensive partisan" prior to his appointment but has been one since. As a member of the state executive committee he has taken an active part in the party management since he went into office. He boasts of being an "offensive partisan" and as such has no right to hold office under this administration.

Despite the unanimity of the verdict of public opinion that Jay Gould was reponsible for the strike after he broke his agreement with Powderly, the foolish strikers seem determined to shift the responsibility to themselves and to bring on themselves additional odium by unjustifiable conduct. They propose to go into the boycotting business on general principles without rhyme or reason Even Jay Gould is now able to say, as he did yesterday, "How can they blame me for the East St. Louis affair," or for any thing else for that matter.

The strike spirit is getting to be ridiculous. Even the school children have caught it and the cash boys in New York stores have filed out of their employers^ places of business and after ranging tnemselves in line on the sidewalk sent in committees to demand this or that concession. As long as the idea to strike first and arbitrate afterwards prevails there will be nothing gained for labor. It is the reverse of the principle which is supposed to be the basis of labor organisations. If striking pays at any time it certainly never does as the first step by the employes.

Senator Piatt's remark that senator's must read with a sense of self degredation the rule which provides for the expulsion of a senator who divulges the proceedings of executive sessions must have caused more than one senator to drop his eyes to the floor. It is the custom of many senators to make full reports of secret proceedings to their special friends among the correspondents in a spirit of reciprocity for free advertising. It is an old joke about Washington that once when the senate was horrified by the publicstion of an accurate report of a secret session the senator who offered at a subsequent secret session a resolution for an investigation carried a copy of his resolution to a correspondent's office.

The county auditor of Indianapolis is now after the Central Union Telephone company. He has compared the amount the company is listed for taxation with the valuation put upon the property by the company in .the test suits and has addressed to the manager of the company the following note:

From yonr evidence in the telephone suit, reoently deoided, on file in the supreme court, and from the repeated statements of the directors of the company, I am convinced that said company has not made a foil or fair return of its property for taxable purposes, for the years 1884-85. Acting un3er said law, I shall, on Thursday, 15th inst., at 10 o'clbok a. m., correct said duplicate by adding thereto an amount sufficient to make an equitable,return from the Central Union Telephone oompany.

It will be remembered that one point brought out during the attempted boycott of the telephone here two years ago was that according to the value given in for taxation this exchange ought to make a handsome profit at a $3 rate on the investment

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.

To the Editor of the Express. .. "Juatlco" to "Farmer." Sffi: Allow me to sav a few words in reply to the last communication of "Fanner" in Sunday morning's paper and then drop the subject.

He make* no allusion to the ttrike which provoked the discuwion originally. The article is mostly devoted to a denunciation of capitalists as a class, and he asserts that "Not only Jay Gould, but the Tanderbilts and

others have stolen untold millions from labor." He should have been a little more definite in his charges and tolJ how and when these alleged robberies were perpetrated. Inasmuch as a large number of men are employed on the lines now or formerly controlled by theee gentlemen, it may be that "Farmer" means that theee employes have been underpaid. But then on the other hand it can be shown indubitably that the Gould and Vandfrbilt railway lines hare paid tiwir operatives ss good, if not better wages than is puid on any of the other lines in the country. "Farmer" admitted that the rate of pay was not a cause of grievance so that we must look poraewkere else for this mysterious and wholesale robbery.

It is no doubt true that Mr. Gonld, and possibly one or two of the Yanderbilts, have punished their competitors of the stock board at times when they had their heads in chancery, but is a game of give and take, and no one pities a "lame duck" on Wall street. Bnt the bankruptcy of a stock gambler has no baa effect upon the condition of the workingmen, nor tends to rob them. It may be possible that the bear raids made by Mr. Gould on certain vulnerable stocks or bonds may have deprived certain holders of their sources of income, and oompelled them to Join the vast army of laboring men and^vomen but this hardly think Farmer refers to as robbery of labor. Probably he thinks that capitalists are too highly paid and accumulate wealth too rapidly, and they should occasionally withdraw some of the capital from its legitimate investment in business enterprises, and donate it to their employes. But unfortunately successful capitalists are not much given to sentiment. They have succeeded because they have made it a practice to hold on to the capital .they have accumulated, and reinvest on the first opportunity so that their wealth may be compared to a snowball which when rolled in snow increases in size, slowly at first, but in a rapidly increasing ratio as long as the rolling is continued.

For clubs of five there will be a cash icount of 10 percent- from the above .xtes, or if preferred instead of the casb, icopy of the Weekly Express will be sent reeior the time that the clubs pays for, lot less than sli months.

Professor Sumner has this to say in regard to the remuneration of capitalists. •'The great gains of a great capitalist must be put under the head of wages of superintendence. Let any one try to get a railroad built, or to start a factory and win reputation for its products, or to start a school and win reputation for it, or to found a newspaper and make it a success, or to start any other enterprise, and he will find what obstacles must be overcome, what risks must be taken, what perseverance and courage are required, what foresight and sagacity are necessary. Persons who possess the necessary qualifications obtain great rewards. They ought to do so. It is foolish to rail at them. Then, again, the ability to organize and conduct industrial, commercial or financial enterprises is rare the great captains of industry are as rare as great generals. The great weakness of all cooperative enterprises is in the matter of supervision. Men of routine or men who can do what they are told are not hard to find but men who can think and plan and tell the routine men what to do, are very rare. They are paid iu proportion to the supply and demand of them. "If Mr. A. T. Stewart made a great fortune by collecting and bringing dry-goods to the people of the United States, he did so because he understood how to do that thing better than any other man of his generation. He proved it, because he carried his busini through commercial crisis and war, and increasing its dimensions. If, when he dii he left no competent successor, the business must break up and pass into new organization, in the hands of other men. Sotne men have said that Mr. Stewart made his fortune out of those who worked for him or with him. But would those persons have been able to come together, organize themselves, and earn what they did earn without him? Not at all. They would have been comparatively helpless. Me and they together formed a great system of factories, stores, transportation, under his guidance and judgment. "It was for the benefit of all bnt he contributed to it what no one else was able to contribute—the one guiding mind which made the whole thing possible.

In no sense whatever does a man who accumulated a fortune by legitimate industry exploit his employes, or make his capital "out or' anybody else. The wealth which he wins would not be but for him. If we should set a limit to the accumulation of wealth, we should say to our most valuable prodncers, "we do not want you to do us the services which you best understand how to perform, beyond a certain point." It would be like killing off our generals in war."

I commend these extracts to Fanner as "mighty good reading." Farmer has something to say in regard to farmers' alliances being in syinpathy with the Knights of Labor in their hostility to railroad corporations. I hardly think that an affiiliat.ioo of this kind would be of long duration if it ever shonld occur, for the interests of these organizations must be antagonistic, and there is nothing to bind them together but their common and insane hatred of railroad corporations. I say insane, for there is no agency devised by man, which has been so benefioent in its results to the farmer, and the western farmer in particular, as the railroad. To demonstrate this, it is only necessary to go back to the era which preceded railroads and compare the valne of lands and the prices of farm products then with those now ruling. The fanner contends for low transportation for his grain and other products which entails low cost of operating, and this in turn low wages for operatives.

The operatives fight for high wages which necessitates high cost of operation and high transportation charges. So that the railroad, companies are between the npper and nether millstone, with the danger of having the life crushed out of them by these antagonistic forces. In the little book whioh I have quoted, Prof. Sumner has something to say about the "forgotten man." In the case of the present strike the "forgotten man" is he who does not belong to the Knights of Labor, and the one out of employment. A debauched publio opinion has a great deal of sympathy for the chivalrous Knights who boycott persons engaged in legitimate business, Buspend the business of a vast area of country, and destroy property to the extent of millions, but has none to expend on the workingman who will not sacrifice his independence to this labor moloch, and who stands ready and willing to do what his hands find to do whenever he is permitted. It is not his needs, or the needs of his family, whioh seem to commend the workingman to this sympathy, but the faot that he is a member of a dominant seoret organization.
