Brief is the space of time until the eventful day. The working people feel that something must be done. The conditions force them to wake up from slumber. Already an immense mass is without means of subsistance. They are more and more meager.
Capital sucks the marrow out of the bones of the working men.
We have no right to. Do we not know that all the misery, all the want, are the necessary consequence of the present state of society. We have so many examples and experiences, that even the large and indifferent mass does not believe any more that an agitation which tends to ameliorate the condition of the working man in a harmonious way would be of any purpose to those people, and I for one think they are right. On the first of May also we will have an example of how harmoniously the capitalists will have our sculls crushed by their hirelings, if out of sheer love of harmony, we will stand by with our fists in our pockets. He who employs the best means of battle, and uses them is the victor.
