We They are made to stand any A Sermon on Socialism. In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat breadâ€"Gen. 3:19. If' this text means anything it means that he who eats should do enough use- ful labor to produce the equivalent of what hc consumes. It is a remarkable fact, however, that those who labor the most get the least of the wealth created by their labor, while those who enjoy the greater part of labor’s products do the least towards producing them. Evidence is everywhere that'the just, law above quoted is not enforced, and. that those who evade that law are not regarded as immoral, but, to use a com- mon expression, are “ our best people.” The eminently respectable gentleman who, in defiance of bible precepts, main- tains his household on interest collected from his neighbors, is not eating bread in the sweatpf his face, but is eating bread in the sweat of the faces of those whom necessity compels to pay him un- holy tribute. ’l‘he landlord whose labor is limited to the collection of rents and tho occa- sional eviction of a pennilcss router is sweating his bread out of' his tenants. The employer who graciously grants a dollar in wages to the worker who has produced two dollars’ worth of' merch- andize for him, need not burden his own brow with perspiration, for his bread is the chrystallized sweat distilled from the blood of the workers in his factory. The trust magnate, who sets the price upon both what the farmer sells and what he buys, knows how to perspire vicariously and escape the labor that the farmer patiently performs. Many have noted this sweating pro- cess and wondered why it is that honest toil goes unrequited, while others have millions of unearned wealth to lavish upon themselves, their horses and their dogs. They know from bitter experi- once that the gulf'separatinngives from Lazarus is on the terrestrial asewcll as on the celestial map, and that in earth lile Dives is on the comfortable sidc'of' it. It may be that the reader is a bun- ' eficiary of' the present arrangement. If so, he is probably content with things as they are. He thinks it is just that one slrould‘array himself in fine linen and fare sumptuously every day on foods and fabrics made by another. If so, he'is doubly an infidel; for he is both unfaithful to a commandment fun- damental to Christian ethics, and more- over unfaithful to his duty toward his fellow man. The Encyclopedia Britannica is re- sponsible for the-statement that “ The ethics of Socialism are identical with those of Christianity.” Whether this be correct or otherwise, it is certain that the two are harmonious on the issues involved in the above text from Genesis. Socialism teaches and seeks to realize a social and industrial system in which, “ If any would not work, neither should he eat.” Paul’s command to the Thes~ salonians is identical with the demands of modern Socialism, which would so- A.__._ __ _ a... out for yearsâ€"that higher prices caused less consumption, less consumption need- ed fewer and fewer workmen, who in their turn could not make a demand for products and lessened the market that much more, and so on ad infinitum. This is the unemployed problem, which cannot be cured so long as gonds are sold for more than the cost of produc- tion. It is growing rapidly everywhere. and when it becomes acute enough you will see the scenes in St. Pctersburg re- enacted in this country on a much larger scale, and that, too, whether there are any labor unions or not. But what could be more degrading than strongr men begging: their masters for ujob? The beggarsl And then to look at the voting these mules do !

Not on your life. Their masters have told them that Socialism would ruin them and their" familiesâ€"and they believe the lies and then suffer. What about their families now ? Are they-ruined if they don’t get work ? What about the wives they have turned into beggars to try and get: ajob for them ? Well, they voted last fall for prosperityâ€"and this is just the kind that their mastersknew they voted for. Hurrahl Vote the old ticket some more, will you ?

An Iowa bank president stole 3554.000 Of his de- positors’ money. The judge, in passing sentence upon this man. gave him eight- een months in the penitentiary. same penitentiary to which this bank president is committed, 9. man is serving six years for stealing a chicken. In giving an account of the rich prisoner’s demeanor, the press reports say “he took his someone very calmly.” No, doubt of it. And so did the judge who sentencedlhim take the sentence “ very calmly ”-â€"â€"too calmly to suit the sense _ ofjustioc of' decent people. The Social- ist can hold up the deadly parallcd at the head of this editorial and say, "That is justice as it is exemplified under your present system of society! How do you like it ? ” The people are slowly formulating this belief: If you steal a little you will get the limit; if you steal enough, you will be let off easy. That is a dangerous belief, but not so dangerous as the facts that no to make up the belief.â€"â€"Des Memes News. O--O No Worker is Secure. Wrctchedness is written allover the lives of the toilers.

Social-ism calls upon the workers of the world to unite and secure a majority of the votes through the preaching of thisjust doctrine. It remains with the voter to enforce the law of labor through Socialism or remain a party to its dis- honor through capitalism.â€"â€"F. M. E. | 9-0 C How About Sugar ? The N. Y. Evening Telegram of March 20th chronicles the closing of the great Havomcyor sugar refinery in that city, without a day’s notice to its 3,200 workmen, who besciged its plant and offices for work or information about when they would rc-open, and after they could get no satisfaction their wives went and begged the ofliccrs to put the men at work, showing that they were actually living on the borders of want, and enforced idleness meant star» vation. The sugar trust has been rais- ing the price of sugar steadily until now it is almost twice as high as it was years ago, and this high price has had the ef- fect of making the people use less sugar, and it has on hand, so it claims, an im- mense stock, and does not want to oper- ate until it gets rid of its surplus. This is what the Socialist has been pointing is the unskilled worker, who gets jobs and loses them easily, with periods of being out of' work which reduce the av- erage of' his daily wage, let alone doc- tors’ and undertakers’ bills~for luckiess members of his family, etc. Like the beggar in “ Ninety-three," he is slowly dying of hunger all his life. There are at all times over a million men out of work in the United States. Three mil- lion of our pauporized fellow citizens apply to charitable institutions every year. And this awful poverty forces men into the tramp class, a class that numbers over two millions of men, and women into the “ fallen“ class, a class that numbers half a million and is con- stantly increasing. Yet we are coolly. informed by the capitalist press and the pulpit that this is the best nation on the globe.â€" The Vanguard. â€"â€"-â€"-~-â€"â€"~â€".-.o New York Sun’s financial statement :- “Tho fact. is that there is Something- clse besides the quantity of money in a Country that affects the value of the property there.
