peripaatetic tree-pruner has called in
quest of job and has pointed out how

of the place to head in those trees and
give them such nice cabbage-head top.
And 50 a man whose knowledge of wood

DEMOCRACY AND SOCIALISM.
PERRY Belmont in North American
Review

4
Review.l
The antagonist and assailant of our
American democracy is European So
cialism. The word is quite modern,
unless 80 years make a name old. Col
lectivism is the more recent term. The
economic basis of each is much the
same. Authors and experts do not
agree defining it. They prefer to de-
much qualification rather than define.
Perhaps they find danger in definition.
DR.. Schaff1e, an esteemed German writer
on economic subjects, declares that
the Alpha and the Omega of Social
ism is the transformation of private,
competing capitals into united col
lective capital" Quite generally do
Socialists profess to think that indiVid-
ual industrial liberty, the present or
ganizatiOn of capital. and cut-throat
competition will continually breed So
cial, economic, and political anarchy
degrade wage-earners, increase idle
ness and vice among the rich, promote
cheap and bad workmanship, and
aduIterati lions of food and drink.
The ills attributed to the gold stand
ard by the advocates of free silver
coinage are by Socialists assigned to
unrestrained competition in production
and distribution. AS such competition
between capitalists, between laborers,
between labor and capital cOntending
with each other for rightful share of
the product of both, goes on not only
in each country. but between countries,
it is apparent that schemes such as the
Socialists urge must, like coinage re-
form in the sense of bimetallism, be in
ternatiOnal. or they will be in vain.
In what year of this century modern
Socialism had its birth, and in what
country, whether England, or France,
or Germany. is of little consequence.
1t is not native to our country. 1t has
been an importation. Within the last
dozen years Germany has been the
largest exporter to US of the theories
on which it rests. An American reader
of any one of the exhaustive and eX-
hausting treatises which European
Socialists have written, may say to
himself, on laying down the volume,
that the political, industrial, and social
evils which Socialism proposes to rem
edy in Europe have never existed in
the United States, and that if England,
or France, or Germany could have had,
a century ago, government by de-
mOcracy, a written constitution, public
schools, secret ballot, an elective legis-
lature and executive, an equality of all
before the law, which the United States
then had, European Socialism could not
have existed to vex the Old World and
the New

No such thing. The proverb is wrong.
Praise to the face is one of the sweetest
things on earth, and there is no disgrace
in it, unless untruth enters, or unless the

grateful because no one may ask for open
praise and receive by asking. When it

fine flavor IS quite gone, and it is but flat
fery.
