upon as the chief factor in progress. Conjointly, these three principles make for civilization. The further statements I now have to offer also classify themselves under these three principles.

I-REFORMS THROUGH THE LAW.

Detroit's water works, owned by the city, are models of economy and excellence. The water supply, coming from the lakes, is inexhaustible. At the pumping works is a fine park, with many original floral and colored plant designs, among them a great clock dial worked by water.

The streets of Detroit have, within the past five years, been, to a large extent, repaved. One of the effects has been the encouragement of the bicycle. Wherever I have been in the past year, in San Francisco or in Philadelphia, I have been told by people sharing in the local pride that their city had "more wheels to population than any other place in the country.' I award the palm to Detroit. But this is only a part of the benefits of good, smooth pavements. In London, with asphalt pavements, one horse will draw a four-wheel cab, with four passengers and two trunks, at a trot. In New York, with mainly the rough Belgian block pavement, two horses can barely perform the same task. New York's freight trucks are far heavier than they would need to be with smooth pavements, and the city could do with a large percentage less of its investment in horses. And the chief nuisance of the streets, the noise, might be abated, as in most foreign cities to-day. New York and many other American cities are behind foreign cities in important respects. Detroit's good street pavements save its people many thousands of dollars annually.

The public lighting of Detroit is also performed by the city. Mayor Pingree was recently quoted in the New York Sun as saying the lights, under municipal management, cost Detroit "about half" what they did under private management. Gas has been brought down to eighty cents a thousand feet.

Detroit has just succeeded in breaking a telephone monopoly. The old company charged $75 a year for a telephone; a new company will charge only $25. The important fesults must be: First, A largely increased number of telephones in use, improving many public and private services incalculably. Second, Cheapening goods, since telephone service is a form of tax on merchants, and, with a reduction of charges, the customers will share in the benefits. Thus telephone rates is a matter of financial interest to every workingman.

Detroit has a three-cent street car fare-or, to be exact, it has lines on which eight tickets are sold for a quarter. There are two street car systems in Detroit. The old system, of course, covers the best streets. The new system, a part of it yet under construction, has had only second choice. Yet the managers of the system are sure of fair dividends at, a rate reduced two-fifths. Here is an incontestable object lesson for every city in the United States. We need no longer depend on quoting Glasgow. The cars of the new

system, by the way, are of a most convenient pattern. They are entered by a large door in the middle of the right side-the "near" side to the in-coming passenger; the aisle within is on the same side. The cars have windows so large that when down the car is an "open" one, while when up it is a "closed" car. When a passenger wishes to alight, he presses an electric button in the seat before him, ringing a gong. The motorman has a "vestibule" of his own.

The rapid electric car and the three-cent fare is going to spread Detroit's population over many more square miles than it at present covers. As a consequence, within the next five years there will be, I think, first an increase, and then a sharp reduction, of land values. It is certain that values in the heart of the city will soon come down, since the suburbs are now in competition with them, just as the new western lands, opened up by the great trunk railroads ten years ago, diminished the land values of the eastern states. Next, the area brought into profitable use by the Detroit electric cars will exceed the amount of land needed for home sites. The demand will outrun the supply. Values in general will, therefore, finally fall. While there will be a temporary rise, the holders of vacant land on speculation will grow tired waiting for a boom, especially if they are discouraged, not by a confiscatory land taxation, but merely by taxes on their vacant lots equal to taxes on other forms of real estate.

But the most far-reaching act of the municipality of Detroit has been the "potato-patch scheme." This is, in brief, permitting the poor to raise garden crops on the vacant land about the city, owned by private parties, with the consent of the owners. It began late in the summer of last year. The city spent about $3,000 helping those who went to work on the land, and the value of the crops, chiefly potatoes, was some $13,000. Recently (October 15) Mayor Pingree was quoted by the World as saying that this year 1,500 heads of families have cultivated 500 acres, raising between 60,000 and 70,000 bushels of potatoes. "Two years ago," said the mayor, "our town paid out $150,000 for its poor. Last year we paid out $50,000, and this year I reckon we shan't pay out anything.” He explained that the chief value of the scheme was in its educational features-it taught the poor people to become self-supporting, and it proved that the unfortunate poor are not lazy, as had been asserted. All were willing to work. But, further than this, the potatopatch scheme had helped to spread the idea in Detroit that it would be a good thing for the city to have a thousand acres or so of its own for free allotment to the poor, to be occupied as sites for dwellings as well as garden patches.

Detroit's city government has many pleasant little surprises for the visitor. When he drinks at a public fountain he gets ice water. When he goes into a public lavatory he finds it equal to one in a good hotel, with clean towels and other requisites. When he goes to the park, he finds well-regulated free baths, a tencent park carriage fare, instead of twenty-five cents,

as in other cities, generally, and a ten-cent steamboat ride to the beautiful island that forms the park. Detroit, of course, has a first-class free public library.

II-PUBLIC OPINION.

First under the heading of public opinion I place that agreement in opinion among the working people which crystalizes in the trades union. Public opinion never means the one opinion of all classes. As a fact, there never was such a thing. The phrase can only mean "dominant opinion." In Detroit the wageworkers of nearly every occupation are organized. One organization promotes another. The trades council has permanent headquarters, a free library, a salaried librarian, and a good meeting hall well furnished. The council represents trade unionists, disciplined and maintaining a high standard of conduct. When it has its annual picnic, intoxicating drinks, even beer, are prohibited for the day. The press is on excellent terms with the organizations, and is credited with according them fair treatment.

Next to the trade unions, I should judge that public opinion in Detroit found its best expression in the city press. It seemed to me that the daily papers of Detroit were equal in good reading and moral standing to any I had come upon anywhere in the country. This truth is necessary to be mentioned in order to outline the salient facts relating to the community.

The clean and showy appearance of Detroit's factories is certainly an outcome of local public opinion. Many of them are well-built and neatly-painted four or five story buildings surrounded by wide grass plots well kept. I went through Pingree's shoe factory. It is light, well ventilated, and in all respects a model of neatness. When I had looked at its ten stories, and seen its 1,200 operatives at work it seemed to me that a shoemaker employed there could easily be a self-respecting gentleman.

III-PERSONAL EFFORT.

Individual effort has an enlarged play in Detroit in proportion as monopoly privileges are withdrawn from the franchise holders--the five-cent street car system, the $75 telephone company, the double-price electric light company, etc. With every such movement toward justice, each individual of the city retains in his pockets the money before filched from him by the monopolists. The withdrawal of these monopolistic privileges are not, in my judgment, a movement toward socialism-government ownership and management of the instruments of production. The city once gave away its highways; now it is taking them back-that is all.

Individual effort will be mightily encouraged if Detroit ever establishes free land parks. This will be no movement toward socialism. It will be but recognition of the right of each citizen to an inheritance in the land, which no man made.

Individual effort proceeds among the working classes with trades-unionism. The unions enable their members to push the anti-monopoly movement, and to claim for themselves, jointly and separately, higher wages, shorter hours, and better conditions, as the monopolists go down.

Individual effort is encouraged by the career of Mayor Pingree. He is one of the plain people. He is on the side of justice. He represents the new ideas of the masses. Many will try to emulate his work according to their opportunities. Let organized labor iu other cities find a Pingree for mayor.

On the whole, I think Detroit stands as an example to the nation. This country is growing rich. Its means of production increase every year. Detroit is leading the way to a more just distribution of the riches, made and making. When every city has done as much as Detroit, times may be expected to begin to boom with the working poor. The silver lining of the clouds is beginning to show itself to the oppressed.

No one can justly so far misunderstand me as to believe I am asserting that poverty is abolished in Detroit. What I do say is, that Detroit is moving in the direction that economists of various schools have a decade ago agreed upon as the right direction. This is toward amelioration now, as well as toward justice in the end. Step by step the way must be taken which will finally bring us to the goal where every producer will obtain that which he produces. The first steps have been made by Detroit.

"We Never Forget."

My advice to workingmen is this: If you want to make yourself felt; if you do not want your children to wait long years before they have the bread on the table they ought to have, the opportunities in life they ought to have; if you don't want to wait yourself, write on your banner so that every political trimmer can read it, so that every politician, no matter how short-sighted he may be, can read it: "We never forget." If you launch the arrow of sarcasm at labor, "we never forget." If there is a division in congress and you throw your vote in the wrong scale, "we never forget." You may go down on your knees and say: "I am sorry I did the act." And we will say: "It may avail you in heaven, but on this side of the grave -never." So that a man in taking up the labor question will know that he is dealing with a hair-trigger pistol, and will say: "I am to be true to justice and to man, otherwise I am a dead duck."- Wendell Phillips.

THOSE faithful watchers who are sounding these alarms are ridiculed as calamity howlers. When strong, shrewd, grasping, coveteous men devote themselves to creating calamities, fortunate are the people who are awakened by the calamity howlers. Noah was a calamity howler, and the bones of the men who laughed at him have helped to make the phosphate beds out of which fertilizers are now dug for the market.—Henry D. Lloyd.

THE spirit of freedom and the spirit of slavery are contending for the mastery. They cannot live together; as well, like the robber of classic fable, chain the living and the dead together as bind up such discordant materials and think it will last. We must prosper, and a sound public opinion root out slavery from the land.-Wendell Phillips.

Mass.

ATTORNEY-GENERAL HANCOCK, of New York, has ruled against the American Tobacco Company, better known as the cigarette trust. The company is chartered under the laws of New Jersey, and its lawyers contended it was not amendable to the New York anti-trust law passed May 17, 1893, and which reads: "Every contract or combination, in the form of trust or otherwise, whereby competition in the supply or the price of any article or commodity of common use, may be restrained or prevented, for the purpose of advancing prices, is hereby declared illegal." Penalty $5,000, or imprisonment not exceed. ing one year, or both. Mr. Hancock holds that the courts of New York have sufficient jurisdiction over a corporation chartered in New Jersey, or elsewhere, to restrain it from transact

ing an illegal business or from pursuing unlawful methods within their jurisdiction.

BURNISHERS' PROTECTIVE UNION NO. 6234 struck against an individual who slandered that body, and secured his discharge.

THE Tobacco Workers' National Union has added two more firms to the fair list-the United States Tobacco Company, Richmond, Va., and Berry Bros, of Bedford City, Va. The James G. Butler Company has been absorbed by the American Tobacco Company, and is, therefore, now non-union.

THE United Garment Workers met in Baltimore, the past month. It was extra well attended, and did good work for the trade generally. The convention refused to commit itself on independent political action. A new financial system, similar to the cigarmakers, will be submitted to the referendum. All available recources will be used against the clothiers of Rochester, N. Y. The next convention will be held in Chicago. Henry White was elected general secretary and Chas. F. Reichers president.

ADELOFF, financial secretary of Cigar Maker's Union No. 14, has resigned, because, it is said, of the fact that the union voted to permit its members to work in any shop in the city.

ORGANIZED machinists of Chicago have determined upon establishing a club with a gymnasium, billiard hall, dining hall, etc., and during the winter lectures on mechanical and and other questions will be given, free to the members of the machinists' unions.
