This played out old mounteb0nk
has said lots OF foolish things, but The
above takes he cake lie Is too stupid
to distinguish between the govern
ment OF ancient Egypt and the govern
ment Of free America. He sre2 no
difference between the rule Of tho
people and the rule Of an absolute
monarch. Socialists believe that all
the means Of production and dislri-
button should belong TO the people
and not to Eiug llorod, King RocEe-
feller or any other King, Even the
lsraelitish slaves perceived the injug-
ticc OF their cruel laal,nasters and
fed from persecution and the God Of
eternal Justice favored their flight,
For when the bloody king, followed

gans and Dewitt Talmages, attempted
TO arrest The dying fugitiyes they
were caught in the destroying food
and had to swim to purgatoiy
through the overwhelming waters af
the Red sea. There is not the least
semblance OF an argument in the
crazy preachers illustration. Social
ism in America is the exact opposite
of the tyranny of Egypt T0lmnge
and the rest Of the imperial gang
still sigh for return to King llerod
and the flesh pots Of Egypt but the
socialists oppose all kings and all dos
potic governments, even the govern
ment of plutocracy,
They believe that the railroads, the
mines, the tclegraphs and all public
monopoles should be owned by all
the people instead of few syndicutcs
and that the laborer should he en-
titled TO all the fruits of his own toll.
They can see no reason why they
should earn $5 day and give four of
it to some idle man so that he may
live in ease and luxury.
Is il possible that Talmage cannot
see that the condition Of labor 10
Egypt is the exact opposite TO the
condition of labor for which the So
ciaists throughout the world are
working? In Egypt the king and his
courtiers owned everything and the
common people were all slaves, The
socialists wish everything to be
owned and controlled by all the pco-
pie.
Two millions OF Americans, 10O,-
100000 of Europeans and 5OO,O0O,000
Of Asiatics are still raising the cry
of the enslnved lsraelites: Yn!
Allah! va! Allah! o! Godl o! God!
but Talmage can hear no cry unless IL
is 5000 years old.
Does that condemned old idiot
think he can impose such nonsense
on intelligent men and women? So-
cialism is growing with wonderful
rapldity and in many countries it is n
tremendous force. 1t is increasing
here-every day is day of pentacost,
in which thousands are turning to
justice and to God. The people are
marching onward and upward and
soon there will be another cry Of an
guish. 1t will be woe to kings--woe
to principalities and powers-woe to
the plutocrats and the plundercrs Of
the people--woe to 1almage and all
the rest of Gods lying prophets
