PEOPLES AGAINST PLUNDERERS.

The invitation of the Swiss Govern
ment to the other governments to at
tend labor conference and the differ
ent manner in which that invitation
has been received as compared with the
answers accorded to a similar proposal
six years ago proves that the govern
ments of the continent are nervously
feeling their way to some half hearted
solution. For us, the lesson of all this
is easy to read. Our duty is to press on
increasingly our agitation, education,
organization; as revolutionary Social
Democrats taking an eight-hour law, or
free education or free feeding of chill
dren, or construction of dwellings for
the people as mere palliatives, and
working all the while for the overthrow
of the entire system. We have nothing
but hatred and oppression to expect
| from any party or government; we
must anticipate treachery and "seliing

if the wage workers themselves so
willed it. Its whole strength is in the
fact that it exists, How 1t came to ex-
list is matter Of history. From canni-
balism to chattel slavery, from chattel
slavery to serfdom, from serfdom to
wage service, such is the progression.
The only apology for any of these
states is that it is a modified form of
the previous one, and, in that form, an
attenuation of the original cannibalism.
But all are anti-social, and the differ
ence between them is not one of kind
but of degree. Men no longer eat the
flesh of their fellows, yet very actually
eat their substance by robbing them of
the fruits of their labor, 1t is the life of
a worker that passes into his work, and
the capitalist who appropriates one-halt
of that work unquestionably eats one
half of his wage slave. Among people
truly free, whoever might be so inhu
man or insane as to propose the re-es
Enlistment of the wage system would
be viewed with as much horror as {
cannibal.
