It is folly to let such men discover that, through our charitable interest in their families, we will either directly or indirectly pay their whiskey bills, or will assume the burdens that they deliberately shirk. A Committee on Intemperance, reporting to the Ward VIII. Conference of the Boston Associated Charities in 1886, called attention to this aspect of the question.
However, between this period and her too early death, Mrs. Stevens was yet to do notable work for the labor movement. During the years that the Knights of Labor were active, the women members were not only to be found in the mixed assemblies, but between 1881 and 1886 there are recorded the chartering of no fewer than one hundred and ninety local assemblies composed entirely of women.
The Farmers' Mutual Benefit Association, a secret order with about two hundred thousand members, had a committee in attendance at this meeting, and the Colored Farmers' Alliance, which had been founded in Texas in 1886 and claimed a membership of over a million, held its national meeting at the same time and place.
Indeed, the A. F. of L. was practically established nationally at that time. Although the A. F. of L. had been founded in 1881, it never got a real hold among the masses until the big strike movement of 1886, which established the unions in man pew trades and industries and brought about the reorganization and renaming of the A. F. of L. In many respects 1937 bears a kinship to 1886.
This year of our Lord, 1886, brought an infinitely greater sorrow than the mere financial losses which pressed so hardly upon us in connection with our Florida endeavors.
The Irish Nationalists were willing to clasp hands across the sea in a brotherhood of friendship and even of affection, but there stood apart, in open and flaming disaffection, the Protestant minority in Ireland, who were in a state of stark terror that the Home Rule Bill of 1886 meant the end of everything for them the end of their brutal ascendancy and probably also the confiscation of their property and the ruin of their social position.
The following have been published: Johnston, Connecticut: a Study of a Commonwealth-Democracy, 1887; Roberts, New York: the Planting and Growth of the Empire State, 2 vols., 1887; Browne, Maryland: the History of a Palatinate, 2d ed., 1884; Cooke, Virginia: a History of the People, 1883; Shaler, Kentucky: a Pioneer Commonwealth, 1884; King, Ohio: First Fruits of the Ordinance of 1787,1888; Dunn, Indiana: a Redemption from Slavery, 1888; Cooley, Michigan: a History of Governments, 1885; Carr, Missouri: a Bone of Contention, 1888; Spring, Kansas: the Prelude to the War for the Union, 1885; Royce, California: a Study of American Character, 1886; Barrows, Oregon: the Struggle for Possession, 1883.
The significance of such figures as these can scarcely be over- estimated. Although it might fairly be urged that the lowest dip in trade depression truly represented the injury inflicted on the labouring-classes by trade fluctuations, we will omit the year 1886, and take 1887 as a representative period of ordinary trade depression.
In Germany the present practice appears to be single interments, and one inscription only on the stone, and that studiously brief. Eduard Schmidt Geb d. 8 Oct., 1886. Gest d. 10 Jan., 1887. This I copied in the cemetery at Schaffhausen.
In the same month in which President Cleveland issued his memorable special message to the Senate on the Tenure of Office Act, he began another struggle against congressional practice in which he was not so fortunate. On March 10, 1886, he sent to Congress the first of his pension vetoes.
