Labor   power had the   same qualities 'as   other  commodities.    The   use  value   of  labor power was  work.   Its exchange  value was expressed   in money, which  working  men called wages. The cost  of the production of labor power wa  the   cost of his existence and   of the  propagation   of      his    species.      The  working men   had to contrive lo pro  pogate   slaves to be exploited by tie  capitalist  class.    It  was   true    that,  the hopies of the working classes   to  day were nothing more   or less than  breeding pens  for  slaves   for exploit  ation  by   the  capitalist  class.      Tbo  value   changed    in   obedience   lo    th  operation of the   law  of supply,    and  demand.    Trades unions   had been or.  gan'ized for ^the purpose 0f   defeating  and   overthrowing  this   law   and   the  Jaw of   competition,    They form,  .as  -Marx put it\/ resisting points 'to the  capitalist   class   that   help,   in    som  cases,   to prevent the capitalist-das  from   overriding- the  labor cVss and  forcing values    below   the    cost  production.      lie  did    not    wish     I  .rlisparage   trades unions.     They  ha  enabled  working men,  in some cases  to make a better bargain with     th  capitalist class,    and he realised  ful  ly the   fight that trades unions hav  put up fram time   to 'time   to   ivsis  the encroachments    of the capitalists  Tbe history  of trades unionism   bad  been one  of heroism  right     through  from the start.     The scariQces trade  unions had  made  on   tbe     industria  field   were  enough        to   strike  * th  world   with  wonder.

They  said   that,   not   only  ,wer,e  working  men    robbed   of a few  cents . an   hour,   or  a  few    hours     a  day,    but  Ihey   were   robbed      every  day   of four-fifths of the values they  produced.       Capitalistic     production  required  that   the   capitalistic    class  should    own   the   means    of     wealth  production, and  that t'hey should   be  backed  up in ownership by the own.  ers of the state   aud,  also  that   the  labor    power in     the market,  aa'd  should   be   compelled   to sell his   la.j  bpr power   in order   to live.

(London on September 12th, and until his arrival it is likely that h6\"lui'  ther woik will be done on the mine.  The work,' so- far, has proved entirely satisfactory, and has reached the  stage where machinery is necessary  to carrv on the  work to advantage.  An apparatus consisting o'f two  shafts and n seat caused considerable discussion at the station 1 his  morning amongst the local expressmen and others. Some wore of the  opinion that it was a new invention for breaking ccrtts. otheis said  it had been imported by the owner  of thc Shetland pony at the Ab-  botsrord Hotel. It was finally learned, however, that the apparatus is  used hy a C P.R photogiapher, and  is fastened on the fiont of a handcar. The photogiapbei occupies tbe  seat, and is in a position to take  any pbotogiaphs which be wants  without disturbing the working of  the car. He states that he has taken photographs all the way along  the line fiom St. John, K B.

It is im-  possihle for .\\ man to whistle or  sing if tbe mental faculties are at  all' ahsoibed in work. It requires  mental coiiccntralion of more or less  ctToit to turn out good work -or. to  produce satisfactory results in any  calling. Whistling interferes with  this concentration, though thc concentration may, by reason of a perfect knowledge of ihe work being  turned oui, have become mechanical  on thc part, of thc wbikman. Tbe  singing or the humming of a tunc  produces still gicaler mental vacancy. Tt is in these moments (bat Ibe  woikmen make mistakes, often costr  ly ones ^to \" themselves or to their  employers.\"   o   Speaking'in praise of'ihe English  language, Bryan is Veporicd as saying: \"Beginning \/with the Magna  charta 'and * \"* * down to the present no language has been so much  employed for the prbpagationi of that  theory of government which traces  governmental authoiity to the consent of the governed.\"  The magna charta had nothing to  do with the, consent of the, governed. Thc weak despot King John exasperated ' the barons , and they  fought him. The great charter was  the .treaty.of peace. It was wrung  from him by the banded nobles. In  its first form' it made no mention of  anybody save king and nobles. The  latter, for the sake of preventing** tha  common peopje from helping,the king  later, joined with the demands for  their own privileges other demands  for the affirmation of certain old  grants of the Saxon kings.  Moreover, the \"English language*'  bad no part or lot in it. In fact, it  did not exist. The greater' charter  was made in 1215, and it was not  until nearly a century and a quarter later . that Chaucer was born.  There was the ground plan, so to  speak, of the language in the mingling of Saxon and Norse dialects,  spoken by the island people conquered by the Normans a century and a  half before, but nothing more.  The charter itself was written \" in  Latin, which was tbe state language  of thc time, and continued to be the  language of Jaw, of literature and of  society for a'century' or two later,  Even toward the end of the sixteenth century, or nearly 400 years  later, Bacon wrote in the Latin  tongue exclusively in the belief that  there was no English tongue that  would outlast a century. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Chicago  Chronicle,  .\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd>  | Pioneer fbtllin?
