G. Onton, Kentucky. If I had worked hard for twenty years, wearing shabby clothes, being unable to attend the theatre and forc- ed to forego cigars, drinks and games im which the rich indulgeexcessively ; and if, by such stinginess and mis- treatment of myself, I had accumu- lated a miserable ten~thousand- dollar reward, which would mean a saving of five hundred dollars a year at the expense of reasonable comfort and en- joyment, I would come to the conclu- sion that I had been robbed, and would be looking about to find the robber And I would not have to go farther than the Socialist analysis of the capi- talist system to find him. I would find him in the capitalist who toils not, neither does he spin, yet indulges more freely in the things in which I had deprived myself than do the working men to whom you refer. Were I to see a Rockefeller, richer than Croesus and stronger than the government he defies andb yet uses Ias a means of pro- tecting and promoting his accumula- tions-were I to see him and many others of his kind accumulating riches and power, without rendering any ser- vice whatever in exchange for the ex- orbitant tribute they lay on honest 1n- dustry, my dinky ten- thousand- dollar farm would look to me like thirty cents with a hole in it; and I would demand that the parasites who had fattened at my expense be deprived of their privileges, and be compelled to produce the equivalent of what they claim and hold. If I had been able to accumulate but an average of five hundred dollars a year, and that by cheating myself out of a. decent living for twenty years of the best part ofo my life, I would conclude that life is not worth while, if that is all it ofiels the man who does his part and more than his part in producing the good things of life. I would certainly be a pessimist under such conditions, if I could not see some way of saving my babies from such an experience when they leach the time when they will be compelled to go through the same grind, to no other purpose than to keep alive and to keep working, The trouble with you is that you have put your whole life into a little patch of ground through which your vitality has leaked into the coffers of the mighty , and you are hugging what is left, like an old hen might coddle and dote upon the empty shell from which her chick has emerged only to be devoured by some predatory beast or bird. The husks are more to you Afraid of Losing His Farm. A in your present mental state than the- kernal which has gone to provide an. American duchess with her trosseau, or to stock the wine cellars of her‘ plutocratic papa. Your few acres are‘ so big in your ‘estimation that they obscure the whole universe, and even befog your own mind. There is no- danger of your becoming a Socialist, because of your abject, though need-- less, fear of separation from that to which you have devoted your life; but there 1s a. growing possibility of your farm being confiscated by the same dear capitalists for whom you have 111-- bored so long and so hard. The increasing number of tenant farmers predicts your finish, and the' chances for your escape are by no means favorable, when you see in the census report the number of farm fam- ilies who hire the land they till and the roof that shelters them. The pro» cess of capitalist confiscaqion is going; on now. You may escape it for a few years or you may miss it altogether; but you are taking chances in a game that has already proved itself a loser" for the many. You may struggle orr in the faith that you will prove the- exception, but what'will you gain if.~ you save your little farm and lose your life 1n drudgery’! What will you chil- dren gain from such an inheritance?! The wide-awake and intelligent farm- ers who are coming to Socialism are not so easily satisfied. What do you suppose society would do with your farm if they were to as-- sume collective ownership of it I Would they want to transform it into a hunt- ing preserve, as the Rockefellers have thousands of acreas in the Adirond- acks? If so, for whose personal bene-- fit could such a thing be done? Are you not intelligent enough to see that- society could possibly have no interest in making a wilderness of your land Z’ Is it not evident that the general wel- ~ fare would be promoted by having the land kept under cultivation’? And why would another be preferred to- you’! Do you think that the majority, who must make the proposed change if it is made, are so lacking in com- 111 on sense and so deficient in appreci‘ ation of what is for the common good that they would throw you out oniy to throw someone else in’? But the Socialists do not wish to confiscate your farm. As a. matter of fact, you have no farm to confiscate. By the receipt of ' a warrantee deed you enter into a contract with the ex- isting governnrent, by which that gov~ ernrnent permits you to claim a sort of half ownership so long as you per-- form certain required stipulations. You must pay a tribute to that gov- ernment in the form of tax; and if you fail the sheriff sells your land, thereby obliterating every right you have to it. You are now nothing more than a tenant under the government. Do you think that the operation of Concluded on page three. 1836 Bliiisil 72 Years in Business.
