Aâ€"_vk.' “ Uneasy Lies the Head That Etc.” The rise of Socialism is something which is causing the leaders and think- ing men of both old parties no small amount of uneasinessâ€"-Washington Times. It will cause them something more than uneasiness in 1908. Underneath the surface to-day there is a pressure of discontent that includes a very large majority of all the people, and as soon as they see that there is no hope to es caps from the boodling and robbery that are logical to the present system, there will be an avalanche of votes for Social- ism that will bury the present system so deep that it will never be again seri- ously considered. I have been in the propaganda of Socialism for fourteen years, and have come in contact with more of its effects than possibly any other individual inthe nation. I know more than any other man of the hon. dreds of tons of printed matter that have gone into the hands of the people, and I have talked to thousands of peo- ple and studied their expressions from the reading they have done, and I am firmly of the conviction that from three to five millions of the voters of this country are more friendly to Socialism because of that reading, but not enough interested in the matter to separate themselves from their old associations and vote for it now. But everyyear we are adding to the great army, and from it are gaining enough conviction and knowledge of the movement with some of them to add year by year to the vote, which is now rising high enough to attract attention and inspire courage to come out boldly for it. On a recent trip east I visited a number of towns, and in each I visited the local paper. Some of the editors I had known years ago. I found practically none of them against Socialism because of what it stands for, but because it might in- terfere with their political associations in an economic way. Five of them were avowed believers in its tenets, but. dared not stand for it; though they hoped it would soon rise sufficiently to create a sentiment that would sus- tain them in their advocacy of it. Ifind that the travelling men of the country are very largely impregnated with it. and are doing wonderfully effective ONTARIO, FRIDAY, APRIL 29TH, 1904.

You can see this all aronn-l you, if you will but open your eyes and look. Under Socialism there could be no poverty among the working class. And why should there be anv other class than a working class? Do you believe that some were born to work, while others Were born to roll and revrl in the wealth you workers produce? Why be so stupid ? It does not matter whether we havo a republican or a dem- ocratic administration ; the condition of the working class is the same. You we told that the republicans are your friends. Is the present condition the best they can produce for you? \Vas the condition of look-out and misery of the Cleveland regime the best the dem- ocrats could do for you ? ,Is the cen- dition in England the best the rulers can do for the working people, who are suffering by millions while the upper classes are rolling in wealth, as they do here ? What are your brains for. if not to use for yourself? Why is it that some party bum or loafer knows so much more about what is good for you than you do yourself? Wake up, you sluggard, and use your brains. If you- have no brainsto use, better. not claim to be a citizen.-â€"Appeal to Reason. -0 Effects of Private Preperiy. The United States Government ownâ€" ed the Custom House in New York. Mr. Gage and Mr. Vanderlip, servants of the people, sold the Custom House to Mr. Rockefeller’s Standard Oil Bank. Did the people got the money for it? Not at all. The purchase money was left on deposit in the back, so that the Standard Oil Company did not actually pay out one cent for the Custom House. And ever since that time the United States Government has rented the Cus- tom House from Mr. Rockefeller-’5 bank, and has paid an enormous sum in rental for the property that it formerly owned, and for which‘ there has not actually been paid out one cent.

But there are so many of them and so few teachers that the work appears slow. But, in fact. it is going at a wondrous pace. Twonty years ago there were _ probably not ten thousand people in the country who had any clear apprehension of what Socialism stood for; now there are millions. And every day wakes up a number of able minds who ally them- selves to the propaganda. and thus it goes on increasing in geometric ratio. Nowhere in history has any movement made the strides that Socialism has made in this countryin the same time. dollar being actually paid over. and from that. time on the government paid rent to that bank tor the use of its own building. A servant selling his master’s overâ€" coat to aorook, and then compelling the master to rent the overcoat at so much a year from that same crook, would seem quite improbable in fiction.

A travelling salesman write me “I am selling merchandize; If I told the truth about my wares I would not get an order, and consequently would lose my position and thereby a living for myself and family." And yet some peo- ple wonder that corruption existsl That is true of practically every business; all are based~nn fraud and deception. Ifa merchant were to mark his goods at the real cost. his competitors would make fun of his folly ; and if a. man made honest goods and his competitors Would not. they would undersell him and he would go to the wall. And this is what we are told is a Christian civilization. It is a living lieâ€"a fraud in every way, and people raised up under its rules are as much perverted from what they would naturally be as are the pilgrims in Benares, who go to worship the foul- est idols. Man is naturally honest. and it has taken centuries of lying education by the despots and those in their favor to make him the lying brute that he is to-day. And the worst of it is that many think they are honest, and will put on long faces on Sunday. and swin- dle their fellow man the other six days in the week. And some who do not like it are compelled to do it just like the travelling man. who writes me that he doubts that human nature is right. â€"â€" Wag/land. W. L.
