Editor Labor Enquirer.
7 While I congratulate zeno on the
major part of his reply to Professor
Denslow 1 insist that it has one very
weak spot, namely, in comparing the
VanderbiIts, Goulds, etc, to the Jesse
James class. s5} :.
From a moral point of view their
motives may not differ, but the result OF
their conduct to society does differ. Say
what you will, under our present system
the Vanderbilts are the projectors and
organizers of great industrial enterprises.
They form the center-as the hub does
in the wheel-around which play all our
industrial forces. / do not say they Gre
ate the forces, but they perceive them,
recognize their utility, organize and
direct them.
The charge that the Vanderbilts only
gamble IN stocks is not true we're 1t true
there would soon be no stocks to gamble
on. E -
But admitting they do gamble in
stocks, can you not see that even here
they are an economic factor in the pro.
gress of society r

ing their number and increasing the
number of the discontented. Can you
not see some benefit in this, some ray ol
hope for final conflict and victorious
solutionf
The influence af the Jesse James gang
on society is widely different. Mexico
has quite enough of them and we see
the results. Had Mexico more of the
Vanderbilts and less of the James gang
things would be more promising for the
future.
To the readers of THE ENQUIRER
would say that my time is very limited
and it is not likely can engage in 8
lengthy controversy with Zeno. / be

Evolution sounds better Strange TO sAy,
popular meetings are lea fastidious, and
actually cheer, whom It the numerous
meetings nnw held throughout the
country by the Democratic Federation,
the speakers, Notwithstanding the pree-
ence Of Sir William Harcourt's police
spies, openly proclaim themselves Revo-
lutionary Socialists. The more intelli-
gent of our people have for some little
time now clearly seen that Socialism
means Revolution, and have accepted
the situation, standing ready to take their
part when action is called for by the de-
yelopment Of events. These can hardly
be predicted yet They may arise out of
internal circumstances, or they may be
the result of external causes. Our rela-
tions with foreign governments are not
in every case friendly, with that of
France they are openly hostile, thanks
to our action in Egypt. The condition
of India is now a source of permanent
anxiety to those governing tin the in
terest Of the exploiting classes in En-
gland we Socialists are grati6ed at that.
The sooner the breakdown of our rule
in India comes the sooner will our rotten
society here collapse. England, to-day,
takes over 930,OOO,0OO year out of
India, rendering no equivalent whatever
in return. The paternal government of
the old East India Company has been;
exchanged for an interruptions and ex-1
elusive bureaucracy, thinking of MOTH
ing SO much as drawing large salaries,
little work, much ease, and good PEN
sions; and the profit-mongers of all
kinds are eating out the very yitals
of the country With all these causes
at work, and foreign intrigue industri-
ously fomenting discomfort against En-
glish rule, we look forward to Revolution
in India at no distant date. Breakdown
there means breakup here; in both cases
the opportunity comes for the people to
gain their rights.
From this somewhat imperfect sum
mary of the situation as it stands to-day,
your readers will gather that it is not
good one for capitalism, The aim of the
Democratic Federation is to make it
worse until it becomes untenable, and to
this end all the energies and abilities Of
its members are devoted. On Monday
last it held its fourth annual conference,
a full report of which appears in its or
gan, Justice. As this will inform you,
it has now finally broken with its polit--
ical past and has altered its title to the
Social Democratic Federation. with a
definite Socialist programme, under
which the workers of Britain may en-
roll themselves, and take their part in
the worldwide battle for the emancipa-
ton of humanity. C. l.: FrTzeERALD.
