VARIOUS INFLUENCES AT WORK Germinating Forces Which Will Bind the Nations Together in Peace and Goon Will and Fuat an End to War. Economic Internationahism. By Richard P. Bly, The Chautauguan for February nomic internationalism is one aspect of a broader social nternational- ism, and social internationalism is but one phase of sociul solidarity. Social solidarity means the oneness of sociul intevests; it means that the body cannot thrive while members of the body sugar. Sccial solidarity meuns on the one hand, the dependence of man upon man; and on the other it means that man can thrive only through association with his fellow-men. Social solidarity is a fact which is a logical deduction from human brotherhood. Hawtherne writes some wonderful words in his *‘Marble Faun,” which re- veul a clear perception ot social solidar- ity on its moral side: ‘*While there is e ~__n single guilty person in the universe,” by ¢ o, o “gays Hilda to the guilty Miriam, *each innocent one must feel his innocence tortured by that guilt.” Social internationalism is an expres- sion which may be emvloyed to denote the inter-relations of men of yar- ous mations and n its broddest sense the dependence of nation upon mnation. It 18 seen 1n in- ternationul travel ‘and in the in- creasing number of marriages between Emplu of different nationalities. Social onds are extending and the highest social circles, are to a considerable ex- tent purely cosmopolitan, The carica- ture of this cosmopolitanism is seen in silly youth who affect foreign fashions nnd always in their extreme manifesta- tions, One of the purest and most pleasing features of sooial internation- ulism is seen in-science which is strictly cosmopolitan, Science moves forward evenly in all lands and can scarcely be said to know npational boundaries. - Every great scholar is familiar with the work of all others in his own spocialty all over the world and in every £00d university library scientific period- acals in all civi mvi, languages are found, Any one who attempts to do scientific work without a knowledge of two or three foreign languages is labor- fug under u serious if not insuperable disadyvantage. One of the first condi- tions imposed o candidates for the de- gree of doctor of philosophy in the in- stitution with which the writer is con- nected, is the ability to read French and German at sight, ‘eonomie internationalism internationalism ) is social on its husiness side, when we take the word business in its broudest signification. It meansiuter- wationalism in all those respects which we may call economic. Let us first consider the voluntar, movewents of those whom we call busi- wess wen, then dwell for & short time ou internationalism in the world of labor, and finally pass on to s brie! ex- 3. smination of ecouomic internationalism s it proceeds from governments. A quotation of some lonfih will best present 1o the reader the international character of business, It is taken from a daily newspuper of March, 1889, and is as follows: *'The collapse of the cop- per syndicate and the Comptoir d’Escompte ® following close upon theloss of hundreds of millions in the Papama canal, must affect the French people seriously by restricting confidence and impairing their ab to buy of the world’s products. Furo, and South America, it is thoughy, will be atfected more or less, and the tide of prosperity which has now extended all uround the globe, it is feared, may be checked. Whether the United States will be touched, remains to be see Boston has lost heavily by the syndi cate’s failure and our copper mines will for some time to come cease, prob- ably, to produce the usual output of copper. These interests are compara- tively small, and of themselves could not disturb American industry to any great extent. The whole world, how- ever, 18 now so closely connectedin matters of money and business that we caunot expect to have as plain sailing, in view of events in Paris, as we had three months ago. The situation is alearly such as to arrest the attention of the vrudent.” Lvery modern crisis in business is in- ternational and that to a continually in- creasing extent. There was a time when one part of the country might be comparatively prosperous while othor parts were in deep distress. One hun- dred yoars ago, people starved in one rovince of France on account of fam- ine while the harvests in another prov- ince were unusually abundant, Now all of that has ceased in the civilized world. Disaster and prosperity both extend gradualiy over all modern na- tions like a great wave. Somelimes one of our terribly devastating crises has originated in one land. sometimes in another, but sooner or later the whole civilized world is inciuded in its dread but irrisistible progress. If ‘you are doing husiness in New York City, the failure of bankers in Vienna whom you never saw, with whom you never had any direct business counecction, whose names even are perhaps un- koown to you, may bankrupt you and sweep away the savings of u lifc-time. Events which occurred during our late civil war serve as a good illustra- tion. Manchester and northern Eng- land drew the raw material for their cotton factories from our south. The war cut off this supply and produced a cotton famine. This caused dire dis- tress approaching starvation on the part of thousands upon thousands of lnglish workingmen who had never seen our country and had never taken the slightest part, directly or indirectly, in American dissensions, many of them not understanding the nature of these dissensions, Yetthe suffering was theirs all the same! But this is novall. The cessation of the American supply stim- ulated production in India and thus produced important resultson the other side of the globe, Active and_progressive business men watch carefully the moyements of for- eign business, and every time one crosges the ocean one encounters repre- sentutives of large business concerns traveling from land to land to guard and advance their international interests. Raw material or half-manufactured ar- ticles are bought in one land, manufac- tured in & second, and sold in & third, Prices ave international, and moved by international forces, fall and rise to- ether in regions 5,000 miles apart, We fiegln to hear of world trusts, or com- binations of capitalists extending their operations over the globe, and control- 1 i B ot Frgnon, &% Faris the other of 4 o 00, o swo being & bauk of deposis and & bauk of circulation, | ing a certai e, well worth LI | tneir own profit.

Stili more 1nteresting is the interna- tional character of the labor movement and the conscious recognition of inter- national fraternity on the part of labor leaders, and to a growing extent on the part of the masses, Very early in its history the labor movement began to show iuternational tendencies. [four- ierism® which iu one of ivs phases was cosmopolitan character. Manifestly the improvements in the means of com- munication and transportation, the chief factor in all modern economic in- ternationulism, has been most potent in the field of labor. The great histor event—and the writer thinks he guilty of no exaggeration in thus sp. ing of it—which yave clear expre to the idea of internationalism of labor and first made it o matter of universal discussion, so that it soon began to b come o real force in the consciousness of the commou man, was the founding of the International Workingmen's as- sociation in London. September, 1804, Awmong the resolutions adopted these words may be fouud: **The economic emancipation of the laboring clas is the great end to which every political movement must be sub- ordinated as a simple auxiliavy; all ex- ertions which up to this time, have been directed townrd the attainment of *his end, have failed on account of the want of solidaritv between the various branches of labor in every land, and by reason of the absence of a bond of broth- erly unity between the laboring classes of different countries. The emancipa- tion of labor is neither a local or a na- tional, but a social problem, which em- bruces all countries in which modern society exists, and whose solution de- pends upon the practical and theoreti- cl co-operation of the most advanced lands.” This International Workingmen’s as- sociation was the product of the brain of Carl Marx and propagated socialism of u revolutionary and sometimes aiso of a violent type. It separated into two parts and one of these became the An- archist International which finally ained a foothold in this country und sid immense damage to the cause ot labor, Nevertheless there was a true thought in its internationalism and it brought into the world something which, so far as can be seen, will never leave it. Socialism may be said to be an inter- national movement. Quite generally socialism has gone so far in its cosmo- politanism as to reject the just claims of nationality and to sneer at patriotism as a weakness or worse than a weakness, Patriotism has often been described as *A communpistic system so called from Charles Fourier (1772-1837) of Hesancon, France According to his schewe all the world was to be cantoned into groups, called phiaisusterics, consisting each of 400 familios who were to live 10 8 common edifice, fur- nished with workshops, studios, and ail sorts of amusement.

It may, however, also be taken 1o mean what it is certain that mnoy, if not all, the nationalists believe, numely, that progress must be alon,; na- tional lines and that the nation has its part to play in the development of man- ikind, Nationalism may be vegarded as a justifiable protest against an unputri- otic cosmopolitism. But socialism is only one phase of the labor movement and every phase of it is international, English trades unious early began to establish hranches in other countries to which Englishmen emigrated, and two important English labor organizationp, numely, the amal- gumated society of gugineers and the amalgamated society of earpenters and joiners, have branghes in our country and, elsewhere, 'hia movement was, however, an unconseious, rather than a couscious, internmionalism, The American Nationdl laborunion, which was a powerful body some twenty years ago. although, as tho name implies, dis- tinctly a national organization with na- tional nims, recagnized the interna- tional character of the labor movement in its attituae toward4he International workingmen's association, for it sent a delegate, Cameron by name,to one of its congresses, This action of the National labor union did not mean that it ac- cepted socialism, but, as pointed out, a recogonition of the internationalism of labor interests. The Naional labor union strove to bring about interna- tional co-operation for common ends. The order of Knights of Labor was founded twenty years ago on Thanks- giving day in 1569, and was a purely American organization; but gradually we find it extending its fleld of opera- tion and founding local societies in Great Britain, Belgium and Australi Euglish trades unions, the most con- servative of labor organizations, have at last fairly begun 1w take partin the international movements of labor.

The Hen jeorge movement was American in origin, but Henry George | extends his personal agitation to Great Britain, Canada and Austr and his adherents take it up in Germany and elsewhere. Ths extreme trade doctrine is one feature of his cosmopoli- tumsm, All this shows how absurd those are, perhaps ather how ignorant those are, who tallt about the labor movement as essontinlly foreign. It isinternational and one phase of it springs up in one land. and another in another land, and America has certawnly contributed her full share to it. s spece has been left for the dis- ion of governmental international- sm than could be desirod. The post- oftice will first oceur to the der, We now have a world postal union, tho be- ginuing of a world emnive, with its seat or capital at Berne, Switzerland. Still older thun this union, is the Interna- tional Telegraph union, which, us the writer has elsswhyre pointed out, is provented from being a world union by the fact that the United States has no public tolegraphic service, lnternational railway treaties are an- other phase of governmental interna- tionalism, well-known in Europe. In- ternational regulation of trade marks and patents, und where it exists, inter- national copyright may be mentioned as features of economic administration. World fairs are s feature of internation- alism and beginning some forty years ago, they already have become a power in international development in many ways, influencing and promoting espe- cially the internationalism of the labor movemwent, The establishment of internationa weights and measures 18 a noteworthy triumph of internationalism, although its triumph 1is still incomplete., The metric system generally used in western Europe outside of England and, if the writer is not mistaken, it basa legal standing in all civilized countries and is used everywhere for scientific pur- poses. Its more extended use in this country is much to be desired and it is to be hoped that our railways may see their way to its adoption. A unive rsal money has been proposed but not yet established. Two interna- tional monetary unions, however, al- ready exist, namely, the Latin Mone- tary union, embraciog France, Switzer- land, Italy, Gresoce, and other countries; and the Soundinavian Monetary union, embraciug Norway, Sweden, and Den- € | vereins ¢ Also received a line ss Van Dyke {collars and cuffs] Sets.

The English free trade mov i ase of internationalism r customs unions are another hear now n great deal of commereiul union with Canada and of a Pan-American zollverein. A zoll in, or commercial union, althoughit begins with internationalism, is like to ter- minate in an extension of nationalism. The German zollverein was the fore- runner of the German unity of the em- pire and commerecial union, and is likely to lead to political union sooner or later. Switzerland, some yoears ago, proposed to the other civitized nations ol the earth the establishment of an interna- tional factory code, including common regulations for the nmelioration of the 11tion of the working classes, The al commuuication met with com- atively little favor on the part of nd 1t was probably received with as little sympathy on the part of our government as anywhere. More recently the proposal has been re- newed, and it seems to have elicited more approval. Whatever may be the outcome of the projected international factory legislation, we have in these proposals themselves significant facts. A praiseworthy agitation for the es- tablishment of perpetual peace has long beeun conducted, butin this article, in the opinion of the writer, have been sketched the germination forces which will bind the nations together in peace and good will and will put an end to one p! phase. *A frano is equalto about 20 cents, and a krone to about 27 cents, Centimes and oere correspond o the fractional parts of these coins as the cent corresponds to the dollar in our mouey.
