The makers of the “ Empress ” produce more high grade shoes for ivo- men than any factory in Canada, and when you consider that two hun- dred thousand pairs of this modern shoe are sold every year in Canada to women who wear only the highest grade foot- wear, and that almost every fourth woman you meet will be wearing a pair of the Empress, there must be a' cause. In style, in lit, in finish, in material, they reveal it degree of superiority so obviously destinctive that even among the very best makes the Emâ€" BETTERTHAN press holds its place.

AR.M.HANHLTON, MANAGER OOOWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO flOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Why Trusts Flourish. Is it reasonable to suppose that you will get right advice from the men who will profit by your not knowing the truth about a matter ? Would you be willing to turn over your purse to the men whom you vote for without‘E knowing anything about the amount of money it contained, or turn over the business to them without ever trying to know what they were doing ? But your government has more to do with your weal or woe than have your private business affairs or the cash you may have in your purse. And yet you turn it over to a lot of men who are in politics for their private gain, and never read the laws they make or could not understand them if they did. A good, government is of more iinportm once too. people than any wealth they may have at any time, for it is easier to create wealth than to keep a good govâ€" ernment unless you know what are the functions of that government, and know when it is serving you or serving inâ€" terests opposed to the people. That this government is not operated in the in- terests of the millions who have created its wealth is amply shown by the fact that the few possess that which it took the whole to create. You can see what a bad government does for Russia, Tur- key, China, Italy and other countries ; but you cannot see, or you refuse to see, what it is doing for our country. What matters it, if you can secure a. comfort- able living now, only to see it fall into the maw of the hungry owners of trusts, as you see occurring every day? Men worth millions last year-arc to-day poor ; men with jobs last year are to-day job- less ; farmers with good prices last year are to-day without a market that pays cost of production. Government controls all of these things; and when it does not do it in the interest of the millions, then the government should be changed. The Declaration of Independence says it should be abolished when it does not do the things for you that it is organized to do. Is it doing these things ? Do you desire, or not, to have the trusts grow and grow and grow ? Do you want them to raise the prices of the articles they control, and loWer the prices of your la- bor and your products ? But the trusts could not do that if they did not control the government; the denial of the men in power to the contrary notwithstand- ing. How could the government prevent it? It prevents it by not making con- structive law’sâ€"by refusing to establish public industries to which the people could go for their products, and not be forced to patronize the trusts. It is laws of omission, not laws of commission. If men in ollice really desired to protect the people from the extortion of the Oil Trust, these men would make a law or- ganizing a department of industry, to pump, refine and transport oil, and sell it to the people at the labor cost of pro- NTOOOOOOOOOCNOOOOOOJ . . Standard at a. high price, or of the gov-‘ , crnment at a low price? Now, really,- duction. Would you then buy of the. which would you do? At present you‘ are forced to buy of the Standard. You'~ must buy of it or go without oil, and you cannot well go without it in this age: But you may say that the government cannot do this-â€"that it cannot produce‘ as cheaply as the Standard 00. In that" case the Standard is not extorting fronr ' you, and you have no right to grumble.- Thc amassed hundreds of millions of this ' trust show that it can produce for far' less, than one half what you now pay; Besides, the‘ Standardcontinues to cor-‘ rupt your public olficials and judges ; it'- will do that to attain conditions under‘ which it can extort from you, for surely it would not pay out money it already possesses to bribe officials to let it do' what no other company could compel it to do by competition l That is not reas-‘ enable. Again, if the public engaged in- the oil industry and sold at cost, it could be at once very easily seen if the Standard or any other had some unfair . advantage; for its production and its‘ wages could be compared with the piibâ€"‘ lic establishment, and the fault of the‘ public economics could be corrected.- What is true of oil is also true of sugar, steel, and every product of the trusts; Thcse fellows, and the politicians and papers they control, tell us that Society could not produce it so cheaply as pri- vate concerns. Then why are they so bitterly opposed to the public trying it.- Bccause they know they are lyingâ€"iii plain Anglo-Saxon, lying. Every man who has studied the economics of pro- duction knows that there is not a prod- uct made by any trust that cannot be'. produced, after paying even better was ges, at less than half the price you have to pay for it. And many of them can be‘ produced for oneâ€"fifth, and are produced for one-fifth, of what they charge you. All this because you do not know what a government is forâ€"do not know what it should do ;~ do not know whether it' is trying to do anything for you, or trying" to do you. Is n’t it time that you wake up and give these matters the attention that they deserve at his hands ? We Soc cialists think it is.â€"Appeal to Reuse”. â€"-â€"o-o The Toolless Workers.‘ - There are 22,000,000 of wage workers? ‘ i in the United States. Keep this fact well in mind. These workers can only' live by being employed. and in modern industry they can only be employed by having access to the machinery of pro-- duction. -A toollcss worker is the most helpless of beings. Now it so happens that the machinery of production in the present system is the private property of the capitalist class. Hence the 22,-- â€" 000,000. of wage workers who are com-' pellcd to use the machinery of produc-' tion are the economic dependents of the capitalist class. In other words, the capitalists who own the machines are- the masters of the workers who operate- the machines. In still plainer terms, the capitalists who own the machines practically own also the workers who depend upon the machines. The logical result is that the 22,000,000 of workers- arc slaves. What follows? The capi~ talists who own the machines appropri-- ate to themselves all the wealth pro-- duccd by these machines. The slaves are allowed but a wage to keep them in working order ; just as the machines are lubricated to keep them in running or-- der. Now to the point. Ten millions or more of these wage slaves have. votes. The Socialist party has been organized as their party, and when they combine in the Socialist party, which demands the common ownership of the machinery of production, they will sweep all other parties from the field, control industry; and rule the nation. Socialism proposes that all shall have the benefit of these machines, and that there shall be ,no idlers. Bchjamin Franklin said that all the necessaries and luxuries of life could, be produced in four hours’ work per day if everybody were usefully employed; and since then an immense number of labor-saving machines have been invent-- ed and put; upon the market. Figure out for yourself how many minutesâ€"not hoursâ€"would be required to do the work toâ€"day, if Franklin’s computation was correct in his time. Then compare it with the number of hours you put in last year, and see which you. would rather vote foraâ€"~19: I I - Capitalists extol the idea of meelmess â€"iii the working class. They can easily rule those who are meek and grovclling. What men who labor need is some iron in their souls. e36~ .
