ism can only support itself by clinging to
the skirts of capitalism. The great ma-
Jority of the, people get their living
through wages, and any real, change in
the condition of the people will be gained
by an alteration of the wage-system.
Altering the land-holding system is only
tinkering with the fringe Of the question.
The issue Is plain enough, Society is
dominated in the interests Of profit
mongering by the capitalist class. The
capitalist exists by oppresslng and cheat
ing the labor class, every bite of food
they eat, the clothes they wear and all
the products they consume are really
stolen from the labor class. This
robbery is carried on by means of the
wage, system. The real point d of
attack therefore Is at the wage
system. For as long as that is left
in operation it will prove the savior Of
the capitalist power by its manifestation
of the social subjection of the workers,
and preserve the capitalist right to
rob by the operation of the law of wages
which places the labor class m ore and
more in the power of their masters as
their numbers increase ILL a, ,saa
All reforms are useless, and most of
them pernicious, until the capitalist
class is dethroned, and society recognizes
that the workers are its only real basis
and sustenance t.t.s,.- j.. L. rMAHoN.

BUTTE CRY, Montana, April l9.-1 take
pleasure in informing you of the pro-
gress the Knights of Labor has made in
Montana during the past month. I have
organized six local assemblies with men,
bership ranging from Lotto 200. Consid-
erable enthusiasm was manifested, and
think that the, assemblies have nearly
doubled their membership from the
date of organization. The men joining
our ranks are as intelligent a class of men
as you can, find anywhere, comprising all
branches Of industry. Though we have
been long timein making start, we
think that in the near future we will
distance some of the older states in the
race of Knighthood. .,.ss.,..r .;aJt ri
Regarding the labor outlook, around
Butte and vicinity, the chances for the
employment of large number OF men il
decidedly unfavorable. Some of the
copper and silver mines have closed
down and others are working with re,
duced forces. There is very large
number of idle men here at present, ano
their ranks are being swelled daily by
new arrivals. e.. .p..t ...l .. -,

Jesus Christ, as I have for every other

plane of intelligence and earnestness
as thousands of Socialists of our day. !
do not 60 back to Genesis to find prophe-
cies relating to him. or the possibility
of virgin bearing d son. The history
Of Christ has been so egotistlcally doc,
tored and SO many fallacies taught and
defended by "The Church, that the
only thing apparently certain is that
such a man existed, and perished for
proclaiming grand truths hostile to the
existing Flaw and order" '1''R. y
1t ought to De apparent to; Mr., Kouns
that the religious and industrial systems
of all so-called civilized nations are run
n1ng to seed, and that a new dispensa-
ton must come into view, from the com
mon action of growth and development.
Does he not see change all the way up?
If the claims ofpriests ever gave sacred
ness or strength to system, then Juda-
ism should have been perpetual. Man.
kind had no right to change or go beyond
it. But Christ assisted in laying the
foundation for a reformed Judaism,
termed Christianity. which, as the Catho-
lie church = has endured from his time.
But progress brought Professionalism,
which. in it's turn, is giving, place to
higher thought and wholesale repudia-
tions Of ancient superstitions An out
slider free from all existing systems, I
was compelled to work out system for
myself, and for others who might see
antiquated theologles were out of place
in the coming advanced Socialistic era.
We must either have new and free reli-
gious systems, adapted to modern en-
lightenment, or depend on moral prin-
ciples that furnish reason for their
acceptance. e.. 2 a. = -
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy
self.' Good, But WHY should l do so I?
What advantage accrues from it Just
this, that pantheism shows conclusively
that my neighbor Is myself, under other
conditions; that all mankind are a
unity, and an injury to one is an injury
to az" !t".. -"
My pamphlet is not adapted to the
wants of Mr.. Kouns. The beliefs of a
lifetime cannot be got rid of in mo-
ment, and there can be no true socialistic
unity with religious antipathies or dis
agreements. But welcome Socialists of
all beliefs. Unity and harmony will
come in tinae. Neither Catholicism nor
Professionalism were the results of day.
I published nv work anonymously to
invite free criticism and discussion. My
friend Kouns must read it again, and
test it by his experiences. I thought at
first of writing to him privately, but as
you published his letter I trust it will be
a sufficient excuse for sending YOU this
