From London Justice.
Our outspoken criticisms and fervent
denunciations of the present state of 80
ciety are frequently objected to by indl-
viduals who profess TO agree with the
Socialist theories, and who belong either
to the middla-class or the well-to-dO ar
tisan or clerk grade of the workers. We
are too violent in our language, and we
estrange sympathy from the cause
thereby. s. at least these good folks
would have US believe. "True it is,"
they say, "that capt. tlism is at the Dot
of nearly all the crime and misery
which mankind endures. But the capt.
tall ts don't know it; therefore deal
gently with them. Attack the system
but not the men," This is the plea of
the well-to-do, dilettante Socialist.
Familiarity, it is said, breeds con-
tempt. Certainly familiarity with vice
and crime has made the conscience of
the people in this generation calfous in
the extreme. Swindling, gambling,
adulteration and scheminc for wealth,
selfishness, meanness, cruelty and muir
der bv starvation are so common, that
we look upon them as matters of course,
and are only surprised when we come

Granting. for the sake of argument, that
capitalists are so absurdly blind as to
think the appropriation of labor is
honest, how rare it is to find man OF
wealth who does not commit some other
crime, such as adulteration of his wares,
or the dishonest overreaching of his
competitors. 1t is almost impossible for
man to acquire wealth by his own per,
sonal efforts without knowingly COM
mitting crime s clety does not excuse
the thief or the murderer who, no less
than the capitalist are creatures of their
surroundings, and moreover are not
nearly 80 great criminals. Why then
ehould we ex cuse the capitalist whose
theft is reduced to system, and whose
murders are carri d on Wholesale
Why shonld we say that he is not re-
sponsible for his actions?
We workers are forced bv the system
which capitalists keep in existence, tc

For the Enquirer.
The labor question is still at the front
and will not down at the bidding Of the
capitalist or his hired press, nor can
they understand the reason why. Labor
was wont to be 80 docile and submissive
and retired under the table to eat the
crumbs-like good dog that he was,
that always came when called and la7
down when bid. But as the bone car
ries less meat than usual, and is thrown
in less dignlhed way than formerly,
even the faithful hound resents the
treatment and growls and shows his
teeth. Dogs are sometimes affected
with rab les, and "surely oppression
will make wise man mad"
The cheap platitudes that are heaped
upon General Master Workman Pow
derly by our venal press are rather far
fetched and carry b little comfort to
the unjust capitalist, for the quiet action
of the Great Master Workman will quite
as effectuallv and more. surely restrain
the greed of the grasplng capitalist as

cause him to show ferocitY. and the
other to capture and bind this CRAY en-
but feroc,ou tvrant as he retifes to his
safe hiding place behind law courts and
United States citizenship.
In this labor struggle all kinds of men
as we'll as weapons are necessary to gain
the final victory. Even the daily and
subsidized press. who by their one
sided and unfair treatment of this qnes-
ton are opening the ewes of the ,torers
These papers have little influence with
thinking men; we buy AID read them
not because we approve them, but be-
cause here is nothing better of the kind
in the market. But this will not last
forever The demand for better mate
rial will insure the supply at no distant
day, and then we shall think of oul
friends. We may be slow in learning
our lesson but we are making progress
step by step. We can already distin
guish between taffy and bread. Work
ingmen are not the fools they are taker
for, although foolish enough we are al
ready to saw; "The mistakes of my life
have been many, but we can manage oul
own affairs without the gratultous ad
vice of the capitalistIc press" :
Acd they we'll know this but they
must say something for ltheir pay. And
we too saw of our leaders whom these
men traduce in their malignity: "Wt
