Now they are just as much bound to him, only they don't know It, because he pays them wages. lint those wages that he pays them he gets directly from them. What It amounts to Is that, as they work for him, they take only a small part of the product for themselves, or, rather, ho allows them only a small part. He takes the rest, puts It In the bank or buys securities wllh it, or anything else by which he cm double his money In a given time. Thus, he Is enabled to control more because ho can pay more wages. The only difference between the old system and the new is that, in former times men were frankly ulaves, They were called slaves, but it Is more ex pedient to give them the delusion thnt they are free. Tliub they are ap parently paid for their services in wages, which in the form of toll they themselves supply to the captains of industry.

POVERTY MAKES ALL UNHAPPY By JOHN RUSKIN I have listener] to many ingenious persons who say we are better off now than we ever were before. I do not know how well off we were be fore; but I know positively that many deserving persons of my acquaintance have great difficulty in living under these improved circumstances; also that my desk is full of begging letters, eloquently written either by distressed or dishonest people; and that we can not be called, as a nation, well off, while bo many of us are living either in honest or villainous beggery. For my own part, I will put up with this state of things passively, not an hour longer. I am not an unselfish person, nor an evangelical one; I have no particular pleasure in doing good; neither do I dislike doing it so much as to expect to be rewarded for it in another world. But I simply cannot paint, nor read, nor look at minerals, nor do anything else I like, and the very light of the morning sky has be come hateful to me, because of the misery that I know of, and see signs of where I know ist not, which no imagination can interpret too bitterly.

GERMAN SOCIALIST - MINORITY WANTS PEACE A minority of the German Socialists is distributing pamphlets in Holland signed by Dr. Liebknecht, Dr. Lode bour, Harren Ruhle and Mehriug and Rosa Luxemburg, declaring that the German proletariat is opposed to the pro war section of the party and pro tests against the continuation of the war. A collegiate anti-militarist league has been formed in several eastern universities, in order to set before the men in all colleges in the country, the need of direct and forceful agita tion against militarist tendencies and propaganda. A general strike has been launched of all the laborers in Milan, Italy, as a protest against the killing of a So cialist by a policeman in an anti-war demonstration. WHAT SOCIALISTS STAND FOR Socialists, like social reformers, recognize the existence of serious evils in society. While the social reformer, however, accounts for these evils by various causes ami attempts to destroy them one by one, the Socialist ascribes them chiefly to one cause—the present economic or ganization of society. This economic system puts all the principal means of production and distribution into the control of a small portion of the people—the capitalists—under conditions which virtually compel them to use their power in ways prejudicial to the interests of the rest of the people. The workers receive in wages only a portion of the value their labor creates, while the remainder goes to the capitalists as rent, interest and profit. This keeps the workers in poverty, deprives them of true liberty and prevents their full physical, mental and spiritual development. Competition among capitalists and among working people and the an tagonism of interests between capitalist and working classes result in economic oppression, political corruption, strife among individuals, strug gles between classes and wars between nations. Socialists bold that to abolish these evils society must take posses sion of tlie socially used mean* of production and distribution, manag ing them democratically for the benefit of the entire people. They re gard this as the inevitable outcome of the evolution which society Is now undergoing, and they strive to hasten this evolution and guide it In peaceful channels by educational propaganda and by economic and political organization. Since the older political parties have repeatedly ignored the interest of the workers and are openly supported by the beneficiaries of the capitalist system, Socialists hold that nothing Is to be hoped from these parties, but that It Is necessary to build up an Independent party of the working class with the aid of all earnest opponent! of capitalism. As means to the Improvement of the conditions of labor, the strengthening of real democracy and the ultimate inauguration of the Co-operative Commonwealth this Socialist party works for certain im mediate demands, among which are: Shortening of the workday, aboli tion of child labor, insurance of worker* against sickness and old age, compensation for industrial accidents and public relief for the unem ployed; woman suffrage, Initiative and referendum and right of recall; progressive Income and Inheritance tax and collective ownership of rail ways, telegraphs, mines and other great monopolies. Yet it regards these ami similar reforms only ns means to the end. Socialism emphasize the recognition of the actual facts of the class strangle-the identity of fundamental interests among working people and the fundamental antagonism between the economic interests of (he capitalist and working classes. Only through the recognition of these facts and the victory of the workers in this struggle can the atrutfgle Itself be ended. With the inauguration of the Co-operative Commonwealth, however, the causes of social discord will disappear, mutual aid will take the place "f struggle among Indirtduala and between clajMei and nations, and n spirit of brotherhood will result from the harmony of social In terests, permitting men to develop each as best he can for his own bapplueM and the welfare of the whole.

CAPITALIST A PARASITE. By F. a CLARK. The bourgeois, forever dreaming and talking Of profits, rarely attempts flii nmilysis of his position on this (to hlrrn oil Important topic. During the anthracite Htrlko of 1002. when ro:il In some American cities wrb selliny lit $20 per ton. it whs not unusu al to hear the small business man and other defenders of the profit system characterize us highway robbery the excessive prices demanded for this Im portant commodity. Little do these advocates of the sys tem realize die contradictions Involved in their position, Uttle do they seem to suspect tliiit (lie 20. 30 or SO per cent profit to wliich they are accustomed, their right to which they regard ns a principle having all the permanence of a natural law, is fully as iniquitious as any OtbeT percentage, no matter how high. Kor the bourgeois mind does not hesitate to clothe h mere custom, no where uniform in practice, with all the prestige of an eternal verity, utterly unconscious that profits differ only in d«grM, nnd that 1 per cent Is In prin ciple as criminal as 10,000. Those who defend the profit system are estopped by the logic of their po sition from assuming that profit, as a principle Is sacred and absolute when tliey have commodities to sell and non existent or subject to exceptions when they wish to buy. For the buyer of a commodity, though ever seeking bar gains from which all profit has been squeezed, usually favors a low and fixed rate of profit, while the seller pre fers n sliding scale, or an "all the traffic will bear" profit. So that here within the heart of capitalism Itself there is an anarchy of conflicting Interests In dependent of the warfare which the profit mongers in common carry on against the working class. A house di vided against itself cannot stand. The impossibility of capitalism as an enduring system is here shown by the never ending effort within its own ranks to evade the profit which it is Insisted may be rightfully imposed on others, but which each endeavors to es cape If he can. If it is right to levy a profit on the buyer it is wrong to evade payment thereof, and the advocates of the system are logically bound to con cede to others whatever rate of returns they claim for themselves. That the public is keenly Interested in defending Itself against profit is manifest in its rush to attend bargain and mark down sales from which It is usually alleged all profit has been eliminated: also in the effort which every Individual makes both In private and business life to buy cheap to avoid all middlemen's profit by purchasing direct from the wholesaler or producer, if possible. Profit, though not decreed by statuta law, has frequently been sanctioned by judicial decision in the interest of corporations. A law protecting the profits of corporations, which must be the outcome of government regulation ns ndvoc-uted by (Jary of the steel trust aud others, may reasonably be follow ed by :i demand from the workers that a profit on labor beyond the subsist ence point be also assured them. Al ready the agitation for a minimum waga would seem to be a recognition of the fact that the state in behalf of a higher standard of living for its citi zens mny properly interfere with the destructive social etfect of competition for profit. As the power to labor is the only capital possessed by the workers, their labor is ethically entitled to a profit or returns above the mere cost of liv ing, just as money capital demands a return above the cost of reproducing itself. It is profit or returns beyond the subsistence point that make pos sible the accumulation of money capi tal and ultimately enable the capital ist to become a parasite by withdraw ing his labor power from productive Work, while the labor power of the proletarian, rarely compensated be yond the point of reproducing itself, making the accumulation of money capital impossible, forces him into pro ductive work to escape starvation. In this view money capital func tions in two ways, both vicious In their effect. To pay returns on in vestments H extracts to the point of impoverishment the surplus value from the product of those who labor produc tively and creates a class whose labor, if they labor nt all. is without social value. Condemned not only by Moses and the prophets, not only by Christ and the Christian fathers and implledly not only by Its advocates when they resist paying to others the tribute which they claim for themselves, prof it, the excess of real value, as its very name Implied, is yet condemned by the race In tlmt the human Individual, In stinctively sensing the iniquity of an unfair exchange, evades where possi ble on nil occasions the exactions of an unholy system. A statistical expert says the cause of poverty Is thut so many people con sume without producing. The cause of poverty Is that so many people vote without thinking.
