OUR DESTINY.
Continued from first page. }

The result of the training as we pro-
pose it to prepare all in society for a
useful activity.
We mean to qualify all who are in a
normal state to be able to Justify exist
ence by some useful work, thus con-
tributing to the welfare of society, and
through it to themselves. And in at
tanning this we must of necessity de-
strOy the sources from which the drones
of to-day manage to subsist, The main
source is our political arrangement
This is machine upon separate basis.
as if the functions were not caused by
the affairs Of every day life and affect
ing every social unit. We find close
corporations calling themselves demo-
Gratis and Republicans" controlled by
small number who sway the interest
of the State moral, intellectual and eco
nomic. This control is not effectually
contested outside of these combinations,
and yet it is the main cause of the ex
IRENE poverty of the many, while the
few enjoy extreme riches.
Observe the professional politician of
the low order, the heller, how he bears
the impress of his avocation on his phys
iognomy; how you can judge his moral
worth by it. There is certainly a nat
ural distinction in the outer appearance
of the American, Irishman, German.
Behold the professional politicians, no
matter of what national extraction,
and you find an impress. something
that places them indisputably in the
same category. What is it that wipes
out the national distinction? 1t is the
visible characteristics of the low and
cunning brute, whose only aim and pur-
pose is qualification, and the present
manner of administering public affairs
affords the opportunities for it. These
opportunities are enhanced by defective
laws; the laws they expound for us in
the courts; the laws they execute in the
executive chamber; the laws that legal
ize rent and protect the usurers, the rob-
bers of the poor; the laws that allow
public interests to be farmed out to in
dividuals for .despoliation; such as ma
tional banks, railroads, telegraph, gas mo-
nopolies, franchises, and Others of SINH.
lar character All these are creations
for robhing the people. 1t is from these
sources they gather the results of labor
in their pockets, and labor is to that ex-
tent being robbed. Intrigue is the
weapon with which they contend
among themselves for the spoils. The
greater scoundrel is the successful one,
and those who do not succeed at one
time hope for a chance later on, and.
meanwhile, they are willing helpers in
the dishonest ayocation of the successful.
