OUR DAY VOL. 4X-SEPTEMBER, 1892.-No. 57. THE WORKINGMAN AS HIS OWN CAPITALIST. WM. O. MCDOWELL, the author of the following article on the labor problem, is of Revolutionary ancestry. His father died from service in the war of 1861. He is a mechanic by trade, and a railroad official that has filled every position to that of president. As an apprentice he became a member of a labor organization and has always continued his membership and sympathy with the struggling workmen. With Rev. Charles F. Deems, D. D., he founded the American Institute of Christian Philosophy. He organized the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and through his effort, the movement for the international or Pan Republic Congress has taken great steps forward to success. The culminating work of his life has been the organization of the Human Freedom League. He has always held the confidence and good will of the American workmen, and in the different struggles that they have had, he has occupied the place of peacemaker. In the great Southwestern strike, when arbitration was agreed upon, he was selected by the workingmen with Mr. T. V. Powderly as their arbitrator. The special committee appointed by Congress to investigate this subject called him before them, examining him for a full day on the cause and remedy of the labor troubles. This article is but the expansion of the ideas given by him at that time to this congressional committee as to the importance of governmental supervision of all corporations.-EDITORS. I. The United States of America was created by a civilization different from that with which we are in contact to-day. The conditions existing in America in 1776 were those of farming communities with village centers. Each little community was an end to itself. The village was the location of the blacksmith, wheelwright and shoemaker, and the other mechanics that were necessary to a farming community. Their shops, with the village church and school, the grocery and the public house, made up the center of the life of the township. The news was the gossip of the neighborhood, and the interchange of thought among themselves. The newspaper from the distance was a rarity and the intelligence which it brought had been secured through mails slowly gathered by the stage coach and the sailing ship. The village mechanic bought his raw material, added his labor and sold his product. He was his own capitalist. The apprentice entered his shop, learned his trade, married the daughter and continued the industry. Out of this civilization came the Declaration of the Independence of the United States of America, the creation of constitutional government and that balanced division of power between the executive, the legislative and the judicial that has not only lasted a century, but has stood every test that has come from growth and progress and change in the last one hundred years. Into this condition of affairs came a great revolutionist. It was the mechanic with his invention of the steam engine. No longer was the horse to furnish the power for transportation. No longer was the wind to control the commerce of the world. No longer was the strength of a man's arm to furnish the power for manufacturing industry. Village life was destroyed by the steam engine and the life of the great cities, railroads, steamships and telegraph conditions came in its place. Around a steam engine with its necessary power. must gather all the shoemakers from the little village, and the other mechanics were compelled to follow in the same path. The statesman, called upon to meet this new condition of affairs, legislated in such a way that it became possible for the many small mechanics to come together in a great cooperative institution, and they named the organization that they thus legalized, a corporation.
