The 4 Good Uld Days "
If enforced labor is slavery, so
is enforced idleness. The im-
position of either by any com-
bination strong enough to en-
force its decrees, turns to ashes
upon the lips of labor the fruits
of five centuries of struggle and
progress toward freedom. In
the reign of Richard II of Eng-
land, the rustic toiler was im-
prisoned for refusing the wages
fixed by employer-made statutes;
for leaving his pariah in search
of better employment; for ap-
prenticing his children to a trade
in town, or fo<- daring to educate
them as "clerks." In those days
there were land monopolies, and
trade monopolies, and enforced
themselves with credit as well labor in the towns, where every,

Slaughter of the Buffalo.
In tho forties, when the Amer-
ican Fur Co. was in the heyday
of its power, there were sent
lege of some one of an oligarchy j
of chartered trades, and craft
guilds, membership in which
could be acquired only by a long
apprenticeship, large family in-
fluence and large cash payments.
Such was the tyranny of prop- j
erty in exclusive possession of
the law-making power that it
forced the pot>r man to accept
such slavery or become an out
law with a price set upon his
head.—Commoner.
