It is a Fundamental principlo of polit- ical economy that all capital and all wealth are produced by labor bestowed on raw material throth machines and tools. Raw material is useless until it is made (it. for use. The natural depos- its contained in the mines and in the soil are not wealth until they have been extracted from the earth and made available for use. Even machines and tools are useless things without labor. They must be used in order to be of value. Capital is unproductive without labor. Hence all wealth is the result of labor. It is a fundamental principle of So- cialism that, when some men own the sources of wealth and the machinery of production and distribution on which all must depend for their sustenance, and by means of which they must secure their sustenance. all who do not own those sources and that machinery are absolutely dependent upon those who do own them, for their sustenance. In other words, the class which owns the sources and machinery also owns the non-owning class. The non-owning class are slaves to the owning class. Shakespeare put into the moutlrofS‘ny- lock true social doctrine when he said. “ You take my house when you do take the prop that doth sustain my house. You take my life when you do take the means by which I live." As men must. work in order to live, when they are divorced from ownership of the sources of sustenance and from the means of obtaining that sustenance. their labor and themselves are the prop erty of those owuing those sources and means, and they can live only as as they are permitted to live by their owners. Commercialism is dependent on prof its for its existence. Without profits it would at once cease to exist. Therefore, as profits must come out of labor, it fol- lows that the laborer must surrender a part of his labor in order to make profits possible. The laborer must, therefore, pay for the privilege of working by our- renderino: a part of that which he pro- duces. He can, therefore, make no profit for himself. Only the owning class can make profits. Commercialism, or capitalism, is therefore, like a sponge, continually absorbing the product of la- bor, which is, all the time, brin_<_vin_r grist to the capitalistic mill; but instead of getting: the grist after it is ground. the mill owner gets it and labor gets only the toll. The result of all this is that vast streams of wealth are continually flow- ing from the laboring class through the channel of the machine to the nominal owners of the machine. who are the pri- mary exploiters: From them it goes, in large part, to the real owners, the sc- curity holders. The owning class is thereby more and more snrfeited, and the laboring class is kept in its depend. ent position. , Socialists, therefore, say that capital- ism is an impersonal vampire which is continually sucking the lifeblood of those who produce wealth; that it is a robber, because it takes by force that for which is gives no equivalent in re- turnâ€"namely, the profit. The force em ployed is the force of human need. A man must have coal, but he cannot have it unless he pays a profit to the owner of the coal mine, to the railroad that transports it. and to all the dealers who handle it. He must have flour, but he cannot get it unless he pays profits to the miller and to all who handle the 'flour. So with clothing and everything else which he must have. No force in the world is more potent than the force of human need, and no Nero was ever more cruelly relentless thanis capital- ism in applying that force. The regulator relied on to control trade and to keep profits within limits, was competition; that is. mutual strife between those in like industries. 'l'rade has no other balance wheel. This made it a system of war and waste. Each conpetitot‘ fought hard to get all the trade he could, often at great cost. All advertised ; all sent their agents to sell goods; all sought the cheapest market in which to buy. The cost of this war- fare proved to be so great that business managers began to make trade agree- ments as to prices, and to combine hos- tile interests, so as to save cost. Those who would not agree as to price or com- bino were frozen out as far as possible. and monopoly has now largely taken the place of competition, and is daily dis- placing what competition remains. This has resulted in an immense saving to the manufacturer and distributor, and, in some degree. to tho «3 "Hilmm‘. lu-xv realize the cost. of advertisin: ware: n «l the additional burden it places on th be who consume goods. by increase of price. ’l‘he annu-ul co~t of advertising 2 with. including“ the salaries and expenses wf. commorcial travellers. has. in this c fur. try. exccc-lcd the nuu‘reuatc value of rile annual crop of wheat, oats. corn, rrc. barley and flax. This helps us to realise the amount of this expense. Ta or it in another way, this expense 'would, each your. pay the national debt of this government. and leave a large sum for the runningr expense of this governmc. t. W tile in a few indunries this cost has been reduced, the aggregate cost of adâ€" Vertising is still as great as ever. Nor it this waste confined to this vast prop- erty loss. Commorcialism annually dc; vours the lives of men, women and chilâ€" dren in great numbers. besides wreck- ing the morals of many more. The highwayman will seldom molest a chill, but commercialism does not spare chil- dren. Some of our southern states. at the demand of cotton mills, have re- pealed their law against the emplov- ment of child labor, and, as a result, these mills employ children in large numbers. some as young as six years, and compel them to work long hours, day and night, tending; looms, and keep them uWnke by shaking them and throwâ€" ing water on them, and grind them into- profit until their lives become cxtincr, which is. on an average, in about font years. Nor are these cotton mills the only sinners of this sort. The same is true. to a less or equal extent, in other industries. in out country. The criticism which Socialists make of the capitalistic system is that, besides being: a system of waste, it is a system ol exacting plunder, entailing economic hardship and servitude on the majority _ ’of men, especially on those who produce the wealth, and on the sick and unforâ€" tunate who are not able to protect them- selves. Moreover. this servitude is not limited to these classes. Does the manâ€" ufecturer or the merchant or othcrbusi- ness man fancy that he is exempt? Is he not a slave to his back, his landlord and creditors? Is he not, all the time. in danger of being outdone by a more powerful rival? Statistics show that more than nine-tenths of those who go into business fail. (To be concluded next week.) 0 + O~-r< <-_.__ His Legal Right. ,. When Eugene Debs was accused of interfering with the mails.'thc Govern- ment promptly slapped him into jaih When a republican post-master down: in West Virginia, during the anthracite coal strike, opened all letters addrcs~ued to the miners and reported their con- tents to the mine owners, what happen-» ed? Nothing. When Mr. Joseph Lei«- ter, the grain gambler, has a quarrel with his workmen and builds a Stockade- around the village where they work, and puts guards on duty with rcvtilvcrs. and‘ gives orders that no one must interfere with his business and no one be allowed to- go to the post-oflice inside the stock- ade without a pass from Mr. Loiter, what happened? Nothing. When the matter is brought to the attention of the post-ethos department this is what it brings forth. Acting Post-master General Wynne says: “ Leiter, of course, has a legal right. to build a stockride about his property; and as the post-oifico building is located on his land, we cannot help that. If, however, persons are prevented from reaching the post-office, the only thing; the department can do is to discontinue the office." There are severe laws against inter- fering with the U. S. mails. These do not apply to the rich. And the work- ing jack-asses vote to have it so. They get what they deserve, but not enough of it.â€"Appcal to Reason. They Won't Get It Michigan fruit shippers are trying: to get legal action against the railroads for giving the Armour packing trust a rate one half lower than they get for ship- ping fruit. which is compelling them to sell their products to Armour or go out of business. They seem to ignore the fact that corporations own the Courts. and that they will get no relief. Nor do they deserve relief. They believe in and vote for the system, and should be made to take their medicine like men, not like school boys. if you don't like the sys- tem, why have you not sense enough to vote against it.
