liberty and opportunity to obtain educa-
tion according to his or her talents
Do Socialists deny you these liberties
Let any Anarchistic friend show me
what is the individual liberty which he
shall not be able to exercise under the
Socialistic system? Such individual
liberties through which the liberties oi
others are injured of course will be de-
MED, but to this you submit yourselves.
Again, you are afraid of the Socialistic
laws and state government, but you for
get that, although the same in name. il
will be different in nature. As regards
lams, l do not see what you are afraid Of
If you would only carefully consider the
Soclalistic plan you would realize that
laws as they exist now shall cease. In
fact do not see where there will be anv
laws. When you examine the present
laws you find great part of them treat
ing on private property; next, laws
dealing with capital and labor, laws Of
bank ruptcy, of strikes, of boycotts, and
so forth laws about armies, navies, and
so forth. All these shall not exist under
Socialism and therefore laws shall be
out of place. The state shall not be
what it is now. 1t will merely be as a
committee of lodge, to transact the
business of the lodge so will the state
be, to transact the business of the com
munity, and the labor engaged in the
work shall not rate higher than that of
any ordinary trade. I ask you, what
can such state do to enslave its people ?
Even according to the Anarchistic the
orv you must have some appointed to
carry on the business of The group. l
mean a medium who shall collect all
products from the producers, and then
distribute them for consumption. When
l produce a hat l cannot 60 with it to
the baker for loaf of bread.
After all do not forget that the chains
of oppression shall be broken and all
will have the liberty to do with them
selves what they please. If number
of persons shall agree to live different to
others, there will be no Russian tYrant
or despotic Bismarck to prevent them.
Now, call upon you Socialis 8, An
arChists and others to look each other in
the face, and ask yourselves, why you
carried on such dispute over nothing,
and you will blush. Do we not give a
good opportunity to our enemies to
throw dirt upon us? But never mind,
you all know sit is never to late to
mend" Let my words impress you,
comrades, because the writer is very sim
cere IN his motive. Those words come
from my heart, and let them enter your
hearts. Cease to fight ideas, and devote
yourselves to the real work-to preach
the Social Revolution to the doWn-trod-
den workers, and other people of sor-
row. Let us all unite, and as you know
unity is strength" we shall therefore
oe the stronger to fight the enemy.
Having said so much, l venture to
suggest that conference should take
place, composed of delegates from all
the various branches under the banner
of Revoutionists also such as trade
unions and Knights of Labor; and there
should be considered-the best methods
for the emancipation of the workers; also
the adoption of one common platform,
for which we should all strive. The
good which this will do to the labor
cause can be seen by every intelligent
mind.
This same letter, Mr.. Editor, l intend
to send to all the Revolutionary papers
l know of. 1 wish all comrades ac-
uuainted with the French and German
Languages would write articles of the
same nature, so that We may awaken all
Revolutionists to combination and ac-
ton; that we may not be like scattere d
sheep, each going different direction,
but all united under one banner and
one name, we should march toward the
Golden Future. ]. FINN.
