The industrial revolution of the last couple of centuries has been sweeping and complete. The old time handi- craftsman, with his petty little work- shop and puny hand-tools, has been wiped Ofl‘ the boards, and the huge facâ€" tory, with its power-driven machines and organized and disciplined army of wager-slaves, has gained complete com- mand of the field of wealth production. The downfall of small production has been swift and complete during the past fifty years. The one-time work- , man, with his hand-tools and compara- tive independence, is now little better than a. memory. His successor is a wage-slave, dependent upon the uncer- tain circumstances of the labor market for his narrow and pitiful existence. With every step forward in capitalist development his tenure of employment becomes more insecure, his continued existence more uncertain. By vitrue of the circumstances of agriculture, this particular field of hu- man endeavor has not been so readily invaded by the application of machine- ry to its processes. But, as the Social- ist has frequently pointed out, by vir- tue of the fact that the vast bulk of farm products must pass through the channels of industry and exchange controlled by the huge combinations of capital that dominate the entire , systems of the world, the values pro- duced by the agricultural workers have been largely absorbed by these dominant capital interests. This long since became‘so pronounced as to have practically reduced the working farm- er to the level of a hard-driven slave, whose slavery is hidden beneath the mask of small property. The more perfect becOmes the development of big capital, and, therefore, the more complete and thorough the exploita- tions of the working farmer, the more transparent becomes the mask. Small property in agriculture has long since become a farce as far as being an as- surance to its owner of anything ex cept a steady job for himself and famâ€" ily at slaves’ wages. The application of gasoline, petrol and cheap oils to power production has been making rapid strides during reâ€" cent years. The cheap power thus pro- vided has brought the opportunity for capital to invade the field of agricult- ure, strip the small farmer of his fan- cied property, and thus convert this ’horny-handed son of toil into 21. Simon- pure wage-slave. No one who has ta- ken note of the rapid application of ' the gasoline or the oil-driven tractor to agricultural purposes will doubt that the doom of the small proprietor is sealed, and that he is destined to per- manently participate in the joys and beatitudes of the swamps and bogs of wage-slavery. In California it is no uncommon thing to see a. huge tractor do practically all the work upon a big ranch. The plowing, seeding, harrow- 1836 lHilS; ’76 Years in Business. l a ing, harvesting and threshing and the ‘ hauling of the crop to market are all - done by this monster, whose opera- tions are directed and wants attended to by a few wage-slaves. An immense acreage can be handled with a single equipment and one small crew of men. By doubling creWS, the process can be: carried on both night and day in true- factory style. The same methods are being rapidly‘ applied wherever the conditions of soil, climate and nature of products will allow. In Alberta and the other wheat provinces the tractor is becom- - ing a familiar figure. With its ten or more plows it turns over from 25 to 50? acres per day, with but two slaves tor. guide it. It is needless to say that an equipment of this sort will entail no inconsiderable initial outlay. Such an equipment could only be used econâ€"- omically upon a large acreage of landl- It, therefore, becomes an impossibility as far as the small farmer is concerned. As impossible for him to purchase and operate it as for the individual artizan to purchase and operate a modern fac- tory. Agriculture, as well as all other? lines of production, will be completely brought under the dominion of capital. The means of production will become capitalist property. The operatives (workers) will all become wage-slaves- Small property, whether agricultural‘i or industrial, is already little better' than a sham and a. pretense 3 a verita- ble millstone around the neck of the: possessor, holding him in fealty ands" bondage to capital, whose riding of” his pockets he fails to see because of the aforesaid millstone collar. The capitalization of agriculture, which is now coming rapidly along as. a result of discovery and application of cheap power, will speedily remove.- ‘ the millstone from the -neck of the small farmer. The property he now fancies he owns, but does not own, in fact, will pass into the immediate pos- session of capital in such a way that the farmer will understand what has happened. He will discover himself as a wage-slave. Rid of the millstone, he; will be able to stand erect and View: things from the standpoint of a. alarm who is conscious of his slavery. Per- chance he will become imbued with the spirit of revolution and a valiant- warrior in the struggle for the overâ€" throw of capitalist rule and abolition of wage-slavery. The day of reckoning: for the capitalist class is coming. The: downfall of small property in agricul-- ture, etc., and the consequent swelling of the proletarian host is a; ‘cheering herald of its rapid approachâ€"“fest- ern Clarion. 0*. Socialism is not a friend of classes. It merely calls attention to the fact; that classes do exist under capitalism, and is doing its best to end classes by ending the exploitation of the workers for the benefit of the shirkers.
