PHYSICIAN, SURGEON 8t ACCOUCH- Evidently the price paid for this sur~~ F irst-J’E'fila ss ' plus will belong to the American capi- ‘ talists because the surplus goods them- ! FARM FENCING I ARE YOU selves,belonged to them, although not - ' produced by them. And this is the only INTERESTED IN essential point. As to how the price is paid, that is really aminor question. Part of it may be paid by sending gold to this country. But the capitalist does not care to hoard gold indefinitely; and, as a matter of fact, the price is be- ing paid in another way. In former years foreign capitalists have owned a large part of the means of production in America. English, German, French and other European capitalists have held a large- part of the stocks and bonds of American railroad and manufacturing companies, banks, etc. This constituted a debt which. American capitalists owed to the capi- talists of Europe. But since American industry has developed so far that the American working people are able to produce a large surplus, this debt is be- ing rapidly reduced. The price of the surplus of American exports (owned, be it remembered, by American capitalists) is simply credited on this debt. To sum it up in a single sentence: The meaning of' the “favorable balance of trade ” is that AMERICAN WORKING- MEN ARE SUPPLYING AMERICAN CAPI- TALISTs WITH THE MEANS To BUY OUT EUROPEAN CAPITALISTS WHO NOW OWN A PART OF AMERICA’S MEANS' OF PRO- DUCTION. The result, so far as the working class of this country is concern- ed, is simply A CHANGE OF MASTERsi Instead of creating profits for the Roths- childs, they will create profits for the Morgans and the Rockefellers. When this process is completed, when American capitalists have bought out all the foreign investors, they will, in turn (if their prosperity continues) themselves become investors in foreign capital. Indeed, this has already be- gun, for American capitalists already own manufacturing plants in England, in Russia, in China, and elsewhere. “ America’s economic supremacy,” therefore, of which we hear so muchâ€"â€" the result of American prosperity car- ried to the farthest extreme possible under the capitalist systemâ€"means only this: INSTEAD OF HAVING AMERICAN WORKINGMEN CREATING PROFITS TO BE. DIVIDED AMONG AMERICAN AND EURO» PEAN CAPITALIS'I‘S, WE WOULD HAVE AMERICAN AND EUROPEAN AND ASIATIC MEN TOILING TOGETHER TO CREATE PROFITS FOR AMERICAN CAPITALISTS. 30 cts. per ROD. RINGS?

Senator Depew declares that the poo. ple of the United States are producing every year two billion dollars’ worth more goods than they can consume, and that this is why the United States must have foreign markets, in the Philip- pines, in China, anywhere. This is taken as an evidence of prosperity ; and so it is. But who is it that makes this prosperity possible, and who is it that enjoys the prosperity ? In the first place, all the goods, in- cluding the $2,000,000,000 surplus, are created by the working people oi the countryâ€"by the agricultural workers (a large share of whom are either wage laborers or tenants or mortgaged farm- ers who might as well be tenants) and by the laborers, factory operatives, and mechanics in other industries. In gen- eral, they are produced by the wage workers and farmers. But why is there a surplus? Why cannot the producers of these goods con- sume them also? Is it that the work- ing people already have as many and as good clothes and hats and shoes, as much and as good food, as many books, as much furniture, as much of all the good things of life as they can possibly use, or as they want to use? We all know that this is not so. Why, then, can not the proddcers of all this wealth consume it all? The answer is : BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT THE OWNERS OE THEIR PRODUCT. Be- ing wage-workers, not owning the means of' production with which they work, they receive in return for their labor- power only a part of the value their labor creates. Their product belongs to the capitalists who own the means of production, and all the surplus that re- mains, after the payment of the work- ers’ wages, falls to the capitalists’ share. The capitalists’ share Of' the workers’ product grows constantly larger and larger, both absolutely and proportion- ately. as the resources of the country are developed. as the methods of' pro- duction are improved, and as industry becomes organized on a larger scale. It is impossible for the capitalists to con- sume the whole, of this surplus, and they look for opportunities to re-invest it To put it in other words; the goods which are created are produced for sale. But the producers, having received in wages only a part of the value of this product, are able to buy only part of it. The capitalists, on the other hand, are able to buy the remaining share, but do not need it all, and cannot consume it all. Thus there remains a surplus of' goodsâ€"about two billion dollars’ worth annually, at the present stage of our developmentâ€"for which there is no sale in the United States, and since, under capitalism, industry is carried on only for sale at a profit, if no other market can be found for this surplus, the whole machinery of production must come to a standstill, and we have “ hard times." The fact remains that the American working people produce for the Ameri- can capitalists. every year, an aggregate value two billion dollars in excess of all that the American working people CAN BUY, plus all that the Americancapital- ists WANT TO BUY. Goods equal to this surplus in value are sold in foreign her, and the Socialists now propose that markets by the American capitalists the plant (valued at $6,000) be pup. every year, and are paid for by the for- chased, and that the city own and Ope- eign purchasers in some other way than rate it.

Office, Colborne Street, Fenelon Falls. the patriotic American exploiters of lax her, and for the Depews and llannas who speak for them at Washington. But for the toilcrs in field and mine and factory it is a very different matter. 'J.‘he cry of “ Prosperity " is raised sim~ ply to confuse and mislead the working- men into voting for the interests of the Morgans and Rockefellers, who keep the Depews and Hannas in their pay. When the workingmen see through the game, they will vote for a very different kind of prosperity. Capitalism, spreading over the whole world, is dividing the whole world into. two classes of exploiters and exploited, capitalists and wage slaves. livery- where, as capitalism develops, a larger share of the product goes to the masters as profit and a smaller share to the workers as wages, while everywhere the master class becomes smaller and the working class becomes bigger as the process goes on. And the consequence is that in every other land that comes under the rule of' “ civilization "â€"that is, of the profit-and-wage systemâ€"the purchasing power of' the masses is grad- ually reduced; and the desires of the- masters, luxurious though they may be, cannot make up for this contraction of' the market. Whenever an American capitalistisets up a modern factory or builds a rail- road or opens a mine in South America, in Russia, in China or Japan, he helps to make the continuance of prosperin impossible. Capitalism is a suicidal system. It must expand or break down; but just in proportion as it expands it destroys its Own foundation. 0.0 “Citizen and Country, Toronto, says, “ Merrie England is still the most popular book on our list.
