Will Modern Capitalism Bring About
Socialism?

Union, Minneapolis, MINI.
The Cleveland Citizen and Troy Advocate
are just now engaged in a wordy war on the
subject Of Socialism, and in its last issue, the
Citizen asks:
"Does the highy-intellectual and esteemed
Troy Advocate believe that a capitalistic party
will bring about socialism," to which the La
Dor Exponent, Saginaw, Mich, answers as
follows:
''The Exponent would like TO chip in here
with the remark that that is just what all cap
itaistic parties arc dong-bringing about So
cialism By the formation of vast combines,
trusts and monopolies, practical lesson in
state socialism is being given the people which
sears like hot iron into the brains of the vic
tins of these aggregations of capital, and lead
ing the masses to ask, Why cannot the state
take TO itself and operate for the whole people
the industries out of which few magnates are
coming millions annually!
"The spectacle of tens of thousands of will
ling workers forced into idleness by captalistic
greed is doing more for the cause of socialism
than all the books that were ever written by
small capital few years ago, are, unwittingly,
among the foremost advocates of socialism.
Their gcins have become enormous that the
ambition which once sought only to control the
oil trade now finds itself cramped by that in
dustry, and reaches out for more worlds to coll
quer, embarking in many other branches,
spreading industrial desolation in its track.
The Carnegies, the Havemeyers, the Pullmansy
etc., are all able opponents of socialism, and
every business rival crushed, every workingndn
thrown into idleness, becomes at once an argu-
ment that canuot be refuted in favor of state
instead of private monopoly.
eyes, Mr.. Citizen; socialism will be brought
about by the old parties, and every delegate or
convention bought and sold, every legislative
tool of corporations, only helps along the cause
of humanity. Every contract let by state or
municipality, giving its beneficiary monopoly
of labor, becomes a iner-post along the path
to socialism Brides given and bribes taken i'll
the interest of aggregated capital shine out like
acon-lights over the stormy of individ~
ualsm, welcoming the ship OF state into the
peaceful port of socialism
''The lnonopolsts who consolidate great in
dustries, bringing them under single manage
ment, are the ones who are doing the greatest
work in socialistic propaganda They are
teachin" lessons that cannot be unlearned-les-
sons that are sinking into the minds of millions
who never heard of socialist without associat-
ing him with wild eyed, bushy-haired, un-
kempt ou,aw--something TO be hated and
despised
"And the old parties, the creatures of the
monopolisls are fastening the downfall of a
system under which men starve in the midst
of plenty that few may live in idleness, lux
ury and dissipation.
sMost assnredlv, socialism will be brought
about by capitalstic parties.

der to build a home, were compelled to borrow
at rates of interest higher than the profits of
their productive energies. What can be said of
the Shylock methods of the loan companies in
dealing with this class, without whose toll and
enterprise the West would yet be all unbroked
wilderness OF prairie bloom?
1t has been said that the one thing necessary
to induce the people to throw off burden that
has become oppressive is that they should
know the methods by which burdens have been
placed upon them.
Knowing, they will care.
In nearly every instance, the loans upon
Western homes and farms have been made for
one-third of the valuation Of the property as
appraised by the agents of the loan company
In nearly every instance, after the interest has
been paid semi annually for years, after gen.
erous slice has been deducted by the company
as commission to their middle-nlen, after the
contract has been changed by a change in the
monetary system, entailing loss and hardship
to the debtors because of the consequent de-
crease in the price of labor and the products OF
labor. after improvements to the amount of
thousands of dollars have been made i'll build
ines, planting trees and in various improve
nnents, the loan companies refuse to renew and
proceed to take possession, not OF one-third the
property upon which they loaned one-third val
uation, but they take, by legal process that is
stigma upon our civilization and disgrace to
the Republican party that perpetrated it. the
two-thirds equity of the debtor; take the farm
with all its cultivation and developments take
the home with all its Improvements, and not
satisfied then, for human greed is never salts
fed, they buy it in themselves at their own
prices and obtain and fasten upon the unfor-
tunate debtor the milestone of debt-a judg-
ment for the balance. Ye Gods! Think of it!
They are in possession of the toll of lifetime
the improvem ents of years; the result of Jug
glery of simple end compound interest for
years, the improved one-third the property up
OH which they loaned the money, the two-thirds
equity belonging to the debtor; and to crown
this Infamous robbery they demand and obtain
under our un Just legislation Judgment for the
balance Balance of what? The balance of
your life, you fool Do you not know the Re-
publican party has substituted industrial
slavery for the chatte. slavery of the South?
Do you not know that Wendell Phillips, the
great champion of human liberty, lifted up his
voice and said: eyes, the war IS over 1t has
cost us a great price in blood and treasure. But
we have gained nothing. The money power
has gained all, and ten times more than the

obtained the championship by issuing a
challenge to everybody and nobody ac-
cepted hence he claims the title. His prin-
cipIe object seemed to be to deliver him
