The Socialist Chatechism.
What ia capital?

What is capital?
Capital Is the result of past labor de-
voted to present production
From whose past labor does it result ?
From that of the laborers whose pro-
ducts the employing classes have alb
stained from consuming, and yet ,appro-
Driated to themselves as the reward for
that abstinence
In whose interest is present production
carried on?
In that of the employing classes.
Explain this.
The laborers produce the machinery,
which the employers take away from
them as soon as it is made. The labor
ers are then employed to work it, in
order to produce profit for their masters
at faster rate.
Under what system is this done?
The capitalist system.
What interest have the laborers in its
continuance
Manifestly, none.
Is capital, therefore, useless?
| Certainly not. The way in which it is
used is attacked by Socialists, not the
thing itself.
/ How is it possible that it should be
used in the laborer's interest? $50
Only by means of democratic state,
acting as the servant of the producers.
In what way would the state effect
this? tE2 s
By taking into its own hands all the
means of production which are now
used as monopolies for the benefit of the
possessing class.
Is there any precedent for this2 I'd
As the state has already taken over
the postoffice and the .telegraphs, SO ii
might take the railways, shipping, mines,
factories and all other industries.
Is the postotfice worked on Socialist
principles? =. rj5.s-s
Certainly not. There is no pretence
that the interests of its laborers, the
postmen, are considered at all.
n What principle regulates their employ
ment2 , z
That which regulates the employment
of all other laborers, competition, reduc-
ing their wages to the lowest possible
point, except in the case of the higher

The Prize Address.

The annual contest of the Colorado
Inter Collegiate Oratorical association
was held in this city on Friday evening,
the sixteenth instant. The FIRST prize
was won by William J. Cady, of Denver
university, whose subject was Wendell
Phillips" The Grafton was very fine
throughout and was delivered in an elo
quent and masterly style. Lack of space
forbids its publication in THE ENQUIRER
in full, but the closing paragraphs are
here given and recommended for
thoughtful reading:
His burning eloquence it was that ed
ucated the people to full realization of
the horrors of slavery. Others, perhaps,
were better organizers and had greater
executive ability but on the platform
he reigned supreme. When, at the age
of .26, he made his celebrated reply to
Austin's speech ON the murder of Love
joy, old Faneuil hall rang with such eIo-
quence as had never been heard since
Patrick Henry taught men how to speak
words of fire. Pointing to the portraits
of the patriots of '56, he said: when
I heard the gentleman lay down prinei-
Piles which placed the Alton murderers
side by side with Otis and Hancock,
with Quincy and Adams, / thought those
pictured lips would have broken into
voice to rebuke the recreant American,
the slanderer of the dead" The jeers
and misses of the mob were turned into
tumultuous applause. From that hour
he knew his power and swayed men at
his will. Cool selfpossesed, his impas-
stoned words aimed with the utmost
precision fell like forged thunderbolts

officials, who are paid much more than
would willingly be accepted BY eqnaiiy
capable men.
+ Cannot the workers combine together
by cooperation to defeat this principle
Of competition?
Cooperative societies cannot defeat
this principle, unless the whole body OF
workers are included in one society and
that is simply Socialism.
Why cannot different societies defeat
competition ?
Because they are compelled to compete
against each other, and to exploit those
llaborers who are not members OF their
body.
What do you mean by the word Eek
ploit?"
To exploit is to take as much from,
and give as little to, the laborers as is
possible.
How is the exploitation of the laborers
managed
The employers give them bare sub
sistence, and take from them all the rest
lof the fruits of their labor.
What is the difference between the
two called
Surplus-yalue.
What proportion expresses ltsamount?
The proportion between the two or
three hours necessary labor. and the
ordinary ten, twelve, or more hours
| work.
What do you mean by necessary labor
That which would feed and clothe and
keep in comfort the nation If all took
tbair MORT IN parforminp il
Do you apply the theory of the ex-
| lploitation of the laborers by the idlers
to individuals?
No, it only applies to them as classes
Individual employers may be ruined
but the employing class continues to
appropriate the surplus-value,
How do you account for this Z
Because competition is as keen among
| the 'scapitalist classes" as among the
"laborers."
How does it act with them?
1t determines the division of the spoil,
different sets of people struggle to get
| share in the surplus-value.
How does this competition above affect
the laborers below.2
1t does not affect them at all. 1t is
assumed that the plunder is to be shared
among the supper classes" /" and the only
question is in what proportion this shall

THE DISCRIMINATION DEBATE.

All people who favor fair dealing are
not influenced by prejudice and passion,
and who believe the State should be Just to
railroads while promoting and protecting
the interests of the people, will indorse
the sentiments of the citizens of Siskiyou
county. By resolutions adopted in mass
meeting on Saturday they notified their
Representatives that they are unalterably
opposed to legislation that viii cripple
railroads, or discourage the investment of
capital in enterprises for the develpement
of the country. Senator Taylor, of that
county, was yesterday afforded the oppor-
tunity, and availed of it, to respond
to that expression of his constituency.
by opening the debate upon the
discrimination clause of the Barry
bill. Awaiting of it, he testified
to the concurrence of his own conscientious
judgment with the sentiment of his con-
stituents, and his amendment, that was on
all fours with that sentiment, was adopted
by an overwhelming majority. In fact, it
was an amendment dictated by Justice and
in the interests of the producers of north
ern California; protest against a cold,
bald proposition to discriminate against
them. The incident testifes to the fact
that the sincere man of broad intelligence,
having the courage of his convictions and
the capacity to grasp subject involving
immutable commercial principles, and to
give them the consideration that is their
due, cannot be led to erroneous conclusions
and will command the respect of his con-
stituency and his legislative colleagues.
The railroad question is one that yields to
touch of the broad principles of justice
but one that will never be settled by APP
peals to prejudice or the heat of passion.
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1884-04-29
csc laws the conscientious legislator finds

these laws the conscientious legislator finds
to be the most unwise of acts. Pledged to
specific performance in contrayention, his
Judgment is in a vice-like grasp, and he
must either confess his slavery or rise su-
perior to his folly and respect his oath.
The rabid pledge exactors, who have no
responsibility resting upon them, have no
other response to make to their victim
than the murderous howl for " hemp" and
the miserable shibboleth your pledge"
Just now they are accompanying this with
cries of rope" and bending their energies
to cowing independence of judgment by
threats of personal violence. Within a
week papers assuming TO be opponents of
public opinion have openly advised the
formation of mobs to intimidate legislators
into doing the will of assumed representa-
tive bodies, but which were the mere in
struments to partisan ends. These lawless
sheets emphasize the folly, the non-con-
summation of which moves them to their
shameless appeals to the brutal passions.
There is no harm in these lawless cow
ards; they do not speak the thought of
the self-respecting people; they represent
malevolence and blind hatred and partisan
disappointment. They would be the
very first to seek shelter from
the storm they invoke. They know
perfectly well that the infamy of
specific pledges is only surpassed
by the infamy that threatens men with
violence for conscience sake. They know
perfectly well that they are safe to indulge
in their rant about vigilance committees
and mobs, and that the people despise their
imbecile frothings But it certainly can
not impress the stranger to our institutions
with respect for them that our system toll
crates broad license to these representa-
tives of cankered hate; that the form of
free government breeds such vermin to fret
and annoy men. Yet it is probable that
this kind of fungi will continue to grow
upon our Government tree. As Professor
Perry puts it: Each generation shoots
up lusty crop of foolish and selfish men
foolish because selfish, and selfish be-
cause foolish-who think they know how
things had best be done; how nature can
be improved upon, and how those who
trust themselves to them will be better off
than if they trusted to their own sense of
fair and right. Such men and their fol-
lowers blind leaders of the blind so
far and so long as they have their way get
caught in the meshes of laws as old as the
creation, and the more they struggle to
evade and escape, the more they show forth
their own helplessness, and the magnitude
and wisdom and power of the natural laws
they have trampled on"
If the rabid faction that now threatens
legislators with "hemp" will pause long
enough to examine into the matter, they
will find that their failure is due to the
people for whom they assume to speak
to the real expression of their will, their
cool conservative thought, and their con-
demnation of the class that would make
governmental processes the means to low
partisan and unworthy ambition.

THE BROKEN PROGRAMME.

The San Francisco Morning Gail de-
clares, in an article reprinted in another
column, that there was no popular feeling
behind the call for the extra session of the
Legislature, and that this has been made
manifest by the refusal of the people to re-
spond to the call of selfappointed leaders
in their frantic appeal for Endorsement. 1t
concludes that a complete change has
come over the Legislature, and that it is
not due to any action by the railroad COM
panies of the State This is true, and is
precisely what we long ago predicted would
develop. The political tricksters who
sought to ride into power upon supposed
anti-railroad sentiment have been taught a
bitter lesson. The conservative sense of
the people will always assert itself in time.
We commend the remarks of our contem-
porary to the thoughtful reader, as sue
emily expository of the situation in the
Legislature.
