Frederick Engels. in his preface
to "A Discourse on Free Trade" by
Karl Marx, says
The question of Free Trade or Protec-
ton moves entirely within the bounds
Of the present system of capitalist pro-
ductl0n, and has, therefore, no direct
interest for us Socialists who want to do
away with that system. Indirectly,
however, it interests us, inasmuch as
we must desire the present system of
production to develop and expand as
freely and as quickly as possible; be-
cause along with it will develop also
those economic phenomena which are
its necessary consequences, and which
must destroy the whole system misery
of the great mass Of the people, in con
sequence of Overproduction this over
production engendering either periodi-
gluts and revulsions, accompanied by
panic, or else a chronic stagnation of
trade; division of society into II small
class of large capitalists, and large one
of practically hereditary wage-slaves,
proletarians, who while their numbers
increase constantly, are at the same time
constantly being superseded by new
labor-Saving machinery; in short, So
ciety brought to a deadlock out of
which there is no escaping but by a
complete remOdeling of the economic
structure which forms its basis. From
this point Of view, forty years ago,
Marx pronounced, in principle, in favor
Of Free Trade as the more progressive
plan, and, therefore, the plan which
would soonest bring capitalist society to
that deadlock. But if Marx declared in
favor of Free Trade on that ground, is
that not reason for every supporter Of
the present order of society to declare
against Free Trade: If Free Trade is
stated to be revolutionary, must not ali
good citizens vote for Protection as a
conservative plan?

Professor Garside Tells His Audience
What Ii Will Be.

Prof, Thomas II. Garside lectured YES
terday afternoon under the auspices of
the Socialist Section, at Turner Hail. on
"Our Future State of Society" He
said:
Il wish to lay down four propositions
to you. First, the present condition of
government is detrimental to human in
terests, IN that it tends to poverty and
class rule secondly. it tends as a system
to destroy individual freedom; thirdly,
the sentiment and teaching of the pres.
ent day is contrary to equality and
equity fourthly, and lastly, we wish to
establish a system which recognizes in
nate rights Our present methods of
government prostitute commerce and
trade, and are schemes of aggrandize
ment for class rule. The legislation of
our country is in the hands of corpora
tons. The intention of the founders of
our government was to break away from
the monarchcal forms of England. Our
present system is precisely the same in
stituton under different name. Our
people nowadays are slaves, for they
have no rights, and slavery is denial of
human rights. BE proud of your repub-
lie In reality Il true republic never
existed. Old Rome miserably perished
1T was an empire of slaves-a State of
masters and servants. Such is our re-
public to-day, A true republic is only
possible under the future Socialist
regime.
"Our serfdom has been brought about
10y concentration of capital and popu
latlon. The religious world of the present
day also violates every doctrine of Chris
tionity in the fact that it teaches class
distinction.
The system we want to establish is
one in which class privileges do not eX-
list, for all such are a denial of the rights
of others. In the future state of society,
which we are trying to bring about, the
cooperative system of production will
prevail. This of a necessity will abolish
the wage system. 1t will guarantee to
every man a share of the products of the
earth in proportion to his service. 1t
will do away with our present legislative
bodies and establish others which are
under he direct control of their con-
stituencies. 1t will make education free
and compulsory and abolish so-called
chartered rights.
With the co Operative system pre-
vailing among all the nations of the
earth pauperism will cease to exist"

among the audience were large num-
Der of prominent labor men. Mrs. Mer-
rlield, the Sections organizer. advo-
Gated unity of action between the trades
unions, Knights of Labor, Socialists. and
other forms Of the labor movement.
Sidney Webb, amember of the Fabian
Society, Socialist organization of Lon
don, England, next spoke He said that
he was pleased to see that Socialism was
alive in this country. He thought that
the ideas would make greater headway
whenh change was made from the pres
ent untounded optimism SO prevalent in
America. He advised people to get facts
as to the distribution of the incomes of
the working people of the United States,
and figures showing how much annu-
ally goes to the lords of the soil, as well
AS how much workers pay to the capital
lists for the use of their capital. There
were no such cures in existence in the
United States now, he said, and he
urged those present to do all they could
to obtain such facts and figures, in order
to burst the common fetters of landlord
ism and capitalism.
Edward Pease, of Newcastle, another
visitor from England, also spoke, giving
an interesting account of the growth Of
Socialism in England. He said there
was very large proportion of the we'll
to-do middle class in England who were
Socialists, and then many of the most
noted poets, novelsts and literary men
were heartily in favor of Socialism. In
fact, he said, it was hard to find any
novel now appearing in England with
out Socialstic ideas. He sketched the
three great forces at work in England
to day under the head of trades union
ism, cooperative distributive societies
and Socialism.

for exercises commemorative of the
murder of the Chicago anarchists have
issued the following address to the peo-
pie:
On the lth of November, 1887, five men
were hanged at Chicago, condemned
under doctrine of conspiracy invented
for the purpose and unknown before.
The judicial murder of men, whose only
impulse was to redress the grievances of
the mourning Millions was a disgrace
unmatched in our history. Those whom
the committee represent are determined
that this anniversary shall ha ahaprva1

the American people of their great dis
honor until there shall be no danger that
justice shall be sienced or humanity be
trodden under foot.

BELGIUM.

The Belgian Government has not
recovered from the error OF its ways.
1t seems to stand in terror of any
Socialist speaker. On the 1th of
October Citizen Chauviere, Blan-
quist who, at a bye-election, was
nominated to the Paris Municipal
Council by majority of one, ar
rived at Ranaart, IN Belgium. He
was announced to deliver lecture,
and large crowd went to meet the
train; but the gendarmes were there
also, and they at once seized Chau-
Were, conducted him back to the
French frontier, and expelled him
from the Belgian territory. Great
Indignation prevails among the
workmen in consequence Of this af-
front. Onr comrade, Domela Dieu-
wenhuis, Social-Democrat and mem
Der of the Dutch Parliament, on
arriving at Brussels at about the
same time, accompanied by his son,
found that the police refused the
necessary authorization to enable
them to remain in the town. In
vain our comrade, DR.. Caesar de
Paepe, called on the various author
tiles, and entered every form of pro-
testa tion; Domela Nieuwenhuis was
obliged to leave the same evening
for Switzerland. Thus if any one
who is well known as a Socialist goes
to Belgium, the police will at once
DIVE him out of the kingdom.
Though member of Parliament of II
friendly country, still no respect is
shown to his person. This, taken
together with the recent decree of
the French Government, is q serious
matter, and it is our duty to see
what action can be taken, what
counter influence can be brought to
bear, so as to check this growing
tendency on the part of governments
to prosecute foreign Socialists.

ADVANTAGES OF SOCIALISM

Let us suppose that there are at pres
ent in one of the larger cities one hun
dred locksmith shops; suppose there are
one hundred employers who employ
four hundred locksmiths; the one hun
dred employers spend a great part of
their time seeking orders for locksmith-
ing; in doing SO one thwarts the pur-
poses of the other. and tries to obtain
his customers. When in the shop they
spend their time giving directions. in
preparing estimates, writing letters, and
making out bills. In short, all of them
do hard and necessary work; but the
productive work which they perform is
really insignificant. Furthermore, the
employers have one hundred different
tireplaces which occupy great space,
and use unnecessarily "a great amount of
fuel. The money expended for building
the shops, and for the tireplaces with
their bellows, and for the fuel phich is
wasted, would be sufficient to build a
magnificent socialist factory, where all
the employers and the four hundred
wage-men would meet as cooperative
laborers and have steady, remunerative
employment. In these different shops
ther are a number of tools and a supply
of machinery which, if these five hun
dred men worked together could be re-
duced to one twenty fifth. And on the
other hand in our Socialist shops. tools
and machinery could be introduced,
which, at present, not even the richest
of employers if able to procure, or at
least will not procure, because his bust
ness is not large enough to make them
pay. This illustration can be applied to
every trade or business, even to dealing
in groceries. This great saving of capt
tai and labor can be applied to the pro-
duction Of comfort and luxuries for
those who are now barely able to secure
the necessaries of life. Fl.

HOLYOkE, MASS.
Organizing the WOmen-Successful
Agitation of the Socialists.

The Holyoke Section of the Socialist
Labor Party held a meeting in the Turn
Hall, on Saturday evening, Oct. 13,
whereat good audience assembled to
listen to an address by Mrs. Johanna
Greie, of New York. Mrs. Greie was
listened to with great eagerness and in
terest..; the audience was quick to show
its appreciation by frequent applause
and other marks of approval Local
speakers followed Mrs. Greie, and the
meeting was continued to late hour;
but Notwithstanding the lateness of the
hour, a meeting of the Section was held
at its own rooms Immediately after the
close of the public meeting and a
Women's Section was organized by Mrs.
Greie. The new section was organized
with fourteen members, and two have
joined since.
The mems section has lately received
accessiOns to its numbers, twelve new
members having been admitted lately.
The monthly discussion meeting forms
an interesting feature with the Section
here, and lately, the subject, "What po-
sltlon shall we take at the coming cleo
tion?' has been earnestly discussed, and
was closed at the meeting on Monday
night by passing unanimously the fol-
lowing resolution:
ReSOired, That the members of the
Holyoke Section of the Socialist Labor
Party keep away from the polls until we
are able to nominate our own candidates
and vote for them.

whatever aspect, physically, NOR
ally, and intellectually, depends
upon proper material conditions; a
party that insists upon securing to
each citizen his just share of the
wealth and advantages he has helped
to create. That party is the Social
lst Labor Party, its issue, the aboli-
ton of wage slavery, thus creating
the Cooperative Commonwealth.
There is no possible security outside
of these conditions. Competition,
which was once thought to be the
vital force for sound motive power
in society, the incentive and reward
for the individual to work, is utterly
bankrupt. We are witnessing the
rise of trusts to kill competition.
We witness concentration as the
force born of the great forces, steam
and electricity, and with it, in har-
mony, stands the issue, the abolition
of the wage system, the creation of
the Cooperative Commonwealth, to
secure to all the benefits of our in
tellectual and material attainments.
This result is the Legitimate ripen-
ing of evolution in the life of the
race

DISCONTENT.

There has so much been said and writ
ten about the beauties of contentment,
some of it undoubtedly true and useful,
but much of it false, dangerous and ener-
waiting. that it may not be amiss TO view
the other side of the shield.
Discomfort is the handspring of prog
ress; every phase in the development of
the habitation of man marks an era of
discontent; from the time of the He
brew exodus from Egypt until the land
ing of the Pilgrims on Plymouth Rock,
every emigration Of the seeds o. progress
has been the outgrowth of discomfort.
Discomfort discovered America, and
peopled it with the seeds of higher civ
ilizatiOn.
Discomfort made the republic, and dis,
content will save it. +. II.
