A man of straw, which Lixcons, Neb., November 27.—|our opponents have met up, The long talked of discussion between |18 the legation that women N | will vote as their husbands Chancellor Fairfield and Mrs. Dr. (Wil sl (UL do, and no muke the governmental Dinsmore, of Omaha, on the subject | /ohinery more cumbersome witlout of “Work and Wages," took place on| the ing of the 25th and 26th, at| the Opera House, to a la; and ap- preciative audicnce. Chunce field occupicd the rostrum on the first ovening, being introduced by Mrs. Dr. Wood, of Lincoln, lor opened the discussion by stating that WORK 18 WHAT ONE DOES, The chancel- WAGES I8 WIIAT ONE GETS FOR IT, Whatever one has he has obtained eith- or by work, purchase, gift or theft, or by of these methcds v last analysis is some ouc's labor, Whoover is disposed to gt something for nothing must be- come a knave, o beggar, or an object combination e in it for charity. The world owes no_man a living uutil he has earned it. Until a man e a grandfather he has not paid the debt which he owes the world for ity earo over himself. ““This matter of wages is no matter for arbitrary enactments, How much a man shall get for work is not a mat ter for legislation, but only for the cmployer and employed. Legislation on the subjeet is tyranny if enforced, folly if it i vot. With eapital and lnl. v both free, the whole matter will 11, Competition will com- pel capit 8 to pay fair wages. The law of wages is as much a natu ral law as that of gravitation. A o with a limited number of as i its will roccive low wagos, | He receives just such wages as his ca- | pacities ean” command. Here are a thousand porsons and ten kinds of worl, Oune kind ean ba performed by ondy one in the thousand, and he com- | maids ten doliars o duy. The second Kiad can bo done by twoeaty, and the piy is nine dollars ) 80 on | down to the tenth kind of labor,which can bo d by three hund who ¢ dollar a day. There dhout women's rights, »vadvoeate extending the men talk as if, with the bultor i Dund, they will - nako this matter of women's f U right. Would they make new la requiring that women be pard equal wages wath men? Even the o radical would do nothing of hekind. The inequality does not result from any law cnicted by any legislative hody, nor ever can, The law of wages i orlinazily independent or prejudice or whims. Some other cxplanation must be sought, First, women, as a cluss, by physi- cal coustitution, or the customs of so- cioty t from large num- bor of smployments in which men are lowed to entor. Out of the forty pmmor employ« ita women are ex- cither cluded, by coustitution or choice, fromn ail but ton open to her in common with man, and it would be eontrary to all laws, undor these eireumstances, if there was an_equality of wages. Nine- tenthis of women marry in courss of time and follow a paiticular work only for a few years, and hence can- not become skillful enough to com- wand the highest wages, Skill is John for after the only acquired by long practics. B. Gough only averaged $2.77 his lectures the first year, but twenty-five yours —commanded at pay of any public lectu But ought not one person to re sive for the samo work the same pay as another? In the broadest sense, yes. But thore is a narrower sense in which this may not be true. We must 1ot overlouk the law of competi- tion. Take the actual case of a col- Lozo which employs ten men and_fivo \\ men as teachers. The men receive £1,200 per annum, the women $600. iy hm 15,000 is atl the college has to viactors with, The only s them equal wages is by Iowering that of men. How is it with the wives the profo-sors! Thir alavies 18 all thoy have to live upon, and they work just as har and deserve just as much as the teachers, when f women Tusbhands' p we paid the same \S men these marvied women e compelled to recewe far o than wist is their just right, and ita change bo made, touths of | ur women wonld be greatly iujured and one-tenth ' could only general only benetitted, bo raiscd average of Woman's wi , | made th changiug the result; or ditferently, there wiill be trouble in | tho family, Women, they say, should follow, notlead, Decision of cha ter and strength of will power are the qualities which are admired in men, but the very reverse of these, subm sivo and unselfish devotion, are ex tolled a8 womanly virtues, For these she is to receive support and protec- tion. The result is the man becomes more and more selfish and the woman loses her true character, History shows what woman's true nature is, since, great women as well as great men, show what the respective scxes can accomplish. But, what las this to do with wages and suffrage? Every- thing. Fquality is the law of human prog- ress. There must be no discrimina- tion against woman in the amount she receives for honest labor. Low wages have done much to kesp woman down. According to the law of equity, wages is the price paid as the equivalent for tho value of labor. When you pay loss than an equivalent it is fraud. But surely o man hus the zight to hire labor as cheaply as he can? Where then the frand? By creating a neces- wity and taking advantage of that necessity. The fraud is not with the individual man, except so far as he has induced the condition of which he has taken advantage. But if the speculator who makes a corner in in conl, orany cther necessity of life and then reaps n large benefit from his act, is responsiblo, what shall we wny of the corner which society forms in’ woman's wage Society has confined her sphere, and thus forced her to receive lower wages than man, She must give more than she receives, This is the corner which society ha formed against women. The plea is oman’s expenses are 1 an man's, If this i3 a suoffic m why woman should r lows than men, why s it u to bo applied in the same w hony different men, according to their fam- ily. The chancellor spoke for nine- tenths of the women, Tspeak for the remaining one-tenth. His greatest argnment was that a young woman ought to marry, and so needs to sup- port herself only for a short time, I the great evil - they must murry. The proper conditions of mar- vingo follows a higher law than that of bread, buts this theory sets them asido, Thero 1s a law of love which binds together two harmonous na- tures, but shall these holy rela- tions which imply love be forced upon the young women by the high- wayman who says, “marry or starve?” How much of shame and sorrow does this principlo bring? Tt leads to un- happy, deserted and ruined homes. Authoritios show that prostitution and most of the crimes committed by women in European countries can be traced directly to the insufliciont wages paid for fewale labor. And the only remedy is tho ballot, which means self-protection and equality of wages, If the ballot is worth any- thing to a working man why is it not also to women? The ballot is the real question of the time. Women are the home-keepers as men are the home-makers, But a man’s sphere is not simply in providing a house and a competence, and women should be allowed to seek the sphere, for which their capacities fit them the same ag men, The airis full of whisp- ers of the coming time. Men are out- growing overything narrow. Tho day of freedom and equality is at hand. Dan. H.

The want of | tacilities for carrying coal is no excuse and shouli not be accepted as suich by the people There is another view of this question, to which we wish to call the particular | attention of the railroad companies. Last fall excursion trains were run, | giving reduced fare to visitors to the state, which brought several thousand people into the state to learn its re sources and advantages, Just as they arrived the early winter sot in and coal was scarcely to be obtained. This con- tinued all “winter, and there is little doubt that it was the cause of driving from our atate a large immigration. The companies boast of the great benefit the roads are to the country ter that our pr want of ¢ and the people, yot by the inducements they hold out to im- migrants they acknowledge that their prosperity depends upon the people, that the benefits are mutual and reciprocal. Then have not the people the right to demand of the companies o supply of this, next to broad, tho great necessity of life, even at the macritice of some of their profits! If they have not cars enough to bring us coal and other freight, then givo us asupply of coal and let other freight wait, Again, the Union Pacific company’s coal 18 hauled 3560 miles and sold at a uniform price of 88 per ton. Towa and Missouri coal is hauled 2560 miles, and though terior 10 quality to thoe Wyoming conl yet the freights are so high that it cannot be sold for loss than 8 per ton, These freights, we understand, are fixed by agreement between the U, P and B, & M. com- of the U. P., and are given in return for other conceesions to the B. & M. Be that as it may, in view of the fact that the U. P. cannot sup- ply all the coal needed on its line it 18 practically without competition by Towa coal at 6 a ton; because all that can be furnished by the U. P. will scll at $8 in preference to the other at 86. We ask then why should not the freights on eastern conl bo put down to the minimum of that | class. We think that, in view of the reciprocal dependence of the railronds and the people, and in view of the great profits to the railronds i trans- porting the products of tl labor, the peoplo have a right to demand of tho roads o partial relicf from the greatest burden of prairio life, by put- ting freights on coal down to actual cost of carriage.
