bad methods in protesting. The work
Ing classes of this country will never
gain Justice by lawIesSneSs, except the
failure of achieving their aim may
direct them on the proper road. The
men who produce the wealth of this
nation are robbed of it by both legal
and illegal methods. But they can be
as unjust in their methods of trying to
remedy the wrongs as are their oppress-
ors. There is a right and a wrong way
to remedy conditions. Strikes are the
wrong way; the ballot box is the right
way, because the peaceful way. If the
various united efforts to gain justice by
physical effort succeeded in wrestling a
temporary advantage. it would be a
real injury to the cause Of labor, for 1t
would prevent the men from seeing the
only effectual way of dealing with
wage slavery. If men rely on the
strike they will never use their
ballot. Ii the ballot is not used int Iii.
gently. labor will always be the slave of
the very capital it has created. They
must control capital, make it their ser
want, by making laws that will produce
such re Sults. Ii labor Will make laws
that will throw the railroads, telegraph,
coal and oil fields, iron, etc, into the
hands of the nation or state, then it can
control that capital by its ballot. There
would be an abundance of capital, but
no grasping capitalists to fight. Labor
Will have to learn this one fact or con-
sent to live on Chinese conditions.
Until it learns it. it is not qualified for
Se!f-government. Labor is learning
II learning fast, but it will have to
suffer asit has moi yet suffered before
the lesson will be learned. There is no
escaping the penalties of these state
nents. Ii the punishment of one fail

severer Affections will follow. All
strikes in their finally will be failures
except as teachers pointing out the fact
that some other road must be taken.

OF labor or finance and strike at the

Ruskip's Views on Interest.

There is no question but that the
partner who superintends any business
should be paid for his superintendent;
but the question before us is only re-
speeding payment for doing nothing. l
have, for instance, at this moment
Els. 200 of bank stock and receive Ell, 200
a year from the bank, but l never re-
ceived the slightest intimation from the
directors that they wished for my as.
sistance in the superintendent of that
establishment. What | want
to know is, why the Bank of England is
paying me $1,000 a year. 1t certainly
does not pay me for superintendent.
And so far from receiving my dividend
as compensation for risk 1 put my
money in the bank because l thought
it exactly the safest place to put it in.
This is taken from ''Fors Clavigera,"
written in 1923. Al that time Ruskin
was a pronounced monarchist, but, un.

Chattel VS.. Wage Slavery.

Coming Nation.
Yes, there is a difference between the
great American freeman who works for
wages and the chattel slave of long ago.
The master had to feed, clothe and
care for the slave whether he had work
or not. They don't have to do that with
the wage slave.
The master had to hunt up slaves and
buy them. The wage slaves hunt up a
master and offer themselves for a bare
existence.
The black slave was put up to the
highest bidder. The wage slave puts
himself up and underDids his fellows
for the privilege of work.
The black slave never had any fear of
want. The wage slave lives in continued
dread of it.
The slave had a permanent job at a
certain price. The wage slave never
has a permanent job, but has an ever
decreasing pay.
The black slave was seldom over
worked to his injury. The wage slave
is llabituallN worked to the uttermost,
regardless of health.
The black slave was never forced TO
imperil his life In battle; the masters
did the fighting. The wage slave is
hired to go out and get shot when the
employers have a difficulty.
Yes, there is a difference, but alto
gether in the favor of chattel slavery.
Great, free Americans! Well, Just. a
few.
