The SOCIALIST PROPOSITION.

What will Socialism do for the people? Very briefly viii
do this:-
will reduce the hours labor in proportion to the pro-
gress Of production
will bring about the collective ownership Of railroads
coal and iron mnes canals oil wels teegaphs telephones
and all other Of transportation and distribution
will do away with the trusts by making them prop
ey OF the whole people, to be operated for instead Of
for profit. This would end strikes and lockouts
will do away with private ownership of street railroads.
water works, works. electric lighting plants other
industries requiring municipal franchises and place them in
the hands OF the people to be operated for the and
comfort OF the people instead of few rich men, as now
will do away with the chldabor problem by giving to
the father the right to support his family without the aid Of
his babies.
1t will do entirely away with the land lord the lend lord
and the profit lord
1t will do away with class legislation.
will prohibit the employment of children in
any occupation detrimental to their health happiness
It will give employment to all who desire employment at
remunerative wages
It will make it possible for the people make or reec
laws for their according the principles the
initiative and referendum.
will make machinery blessing to mankind

ALL thereby Tightening the labor of all and increasing the
leisure and comfort of all.

the table in the room.
''Are those stuffy looking papers what
you used to call wealth." asked Edith,
with evident disappointment.
"Not the papers in themselves" l
said, "but in what they represented"
'And what was that ?" she asked.
1.-THE ownership of land, houses, mills,
ships, railroads, and all manner of other
things" replied, and went on as best
l could to explain to her mother and
herself about rents, profits, interest,
dividends, etc. But it was evident, from
the blank expression of their counter.
ances, that I was not making much
Roadway.
Presently the doctor looked up from
the papers which he was devouring with
the zeal of an antiquarian, and chuckled
II am afraid, Julian, you are on the
wrong tack. You see economic science
in your day was the science of things;
in our day it is science of human be-
ings. We have nothing at all answering
to your rent, interest, profits, or 6nan-
cial devices, and the terms expressing
them have no meaning now except to
students. If you wish Edith and her
mother to understand you, you must
translate these money terms into terms
of men, women and children, and the
plain facts of their relations as affected
by your system. Shall you consider it
impertinent if try to make the matter
little clearer to them?''
Il shall be much obliged to you,"
said, ''and perhaps you will at the same
time make it clearer to me-"
II think" said the doctor, "that we
shall all understand the nature and value
OF these documents much better if, in.
stead of speaking of them as titles of
ownership in farms, factories, mines,
railroads. ETC., we state plainly that they
we're evidences that their possessors were
masters of various groups of men, wo-
men and children in different parts of
the country. OF course, as Julian says,
the documents nominally state his title
to things only, and say nothing about
men and women. But it is the men and
women who went with the lands, the
machines, and various other things, and
were bound to them by their bodily nec-
essities, which gave ali value to the pos
session of things.
"But for the implication that there
were men who, because they must have
use OF the land, would submit to labor
for the owner of it in return for permis-
sion to occupy it, these deeds and mort
cages would have been Of no value. So

water power and looms, but they would

human workers bound to the machines
by bodily necessities as fixedly as if they
were chained there. So of these coal
mine shares. But for the multitude of
wretched beings condemned by want to
labor in living graves, OF what value
would have been these shares which yet
make no mention of them? And see
again how significant is the fact that it
was deemed needless to make mention
OF and to enumerate by name these serfs

work for the owner of the security

"And, finally, we have here the
strongest harness of all, the government
bond. This document, you see, is bond
of the Unined States Government. By it
seventy million people-the whole ma
ton, in fact-were harnessed to the
coach of the owner of this bond; and,
what was more, the driver in this case
was the government itself, against which
the team would find it hard to kick.
There was great deal of kicking
and baking in the other sorts of
harness, and the capitalists were often
inconvenienced aud temporarily de-
prived of the labor of the men they had
bought and paid for with good money.
Naturally, therefore, the Government
bond was greatly priced by them as an
investment. They used every possible
effort to induce the various governments
to put more of this sort of harness on
the people, and the governments, being
carried on by the agents of the capital
lists, of course kept on doing so up to
the very eve Of the great Revolution,
which was to turn the bonds and all the
other harnesses into waste paper"
"As a representative of the nine
teenth century," said, 8" cannot deny
the substantial correctness of your rath-
or startling way of describing our sys-
tenn OF investments. Still, you will admit
that, bad as the system was and bitter
as was the condition of the masses under
it, the function performed by the capt.
talists in organizing and directing such
industry as We had was service to the
world of some value?"
"Certainly, certainly" replied the
doctor. "The same plea might be urged,
and has been, in defense of every system
by which men have ever made other men
their servants from the beginning. There
was always some service, generally val
liable and indispensable, which the op-
pressors could urge and did urge as the
ground and excuse of the servitude they
enforced. As men grew wiser they OBJ
served that they were paying ruinous
price for the services thus rendered. So
at first they said to the kings: ITO be

established republics. So also, presently,
the people said to the priests: You
have done something for us, but you
have charged too much for your services
in asking us to submit our minds to you;
we can do better And SO they estab-
lished religious liberty.
And likewise, in this last matter we
were speaking of, the people finally said
to the capitalists: Yes, you have organ
lied our industry, but at the price of
enslaving us. We can do better And
substituting national cooperation for
capitalism, they established the indus.

racy. II it were true, Julian, that any

as naQ formerly prevailed, IL was neces-
sary to name and identify each chattel,
that he might be recovered in case of es.
cape, and an recount made of the loss in
case of death. But there was no danger
of loss by the escape OF the death of the
serfs transferred by these documents.
They would not run away, for there was
nothing better to run to or any escape
from the worldwide economic system
which enthralled them; and if they died
that involved no loss to their owners,
for there we're always plenty more to
take their places. Decidedly, it would
have been waste Of paper to enumer-
ate them.
"Just now at the breakfast table, -
continued the doctor, 81 was explaining
the modern view of the economic system
of private capitalism as one based on
the compulsory servitude of the masses
to the capitalists, a servitude which the
latter enforced by monopolizing the
bulk of the worlds resources and ma
chinery, leaving the pressure Of want to
compel the masses to accept their yoke,
the police and soldiers meanwhile de-
Tending them in their monopoly. These
documents turn up in very timely way
to illustrate the ingenious and effectua]
methods by which the different sorts Of
workers we're organized for the service
of the capitalists. To use plain illus
tration, these various sorts OF so. called
securities may be described as so many
kinds of human harnesses by which the
masses, broken and tanned by the press
ure of want, were yoked and strapped to
the chariots of the capitalists.
"For instance, here is bundle OF
farm mortgages on Kansas farms. Very
good; by virtue of the operation of this
security certain Kansas farmers worked
for the owner of it, and though they
might never know who he was nor he
who they were, yet they were as securely
and certainly his thralls, as if he had
stood over them with whip instead of
sitting in his parlor at Boston, New
York or London. This mortgage har-
ness was generally used to hitch in the
agricultural class of the population.
Most of the farmers of the West were
pulling in it toward the end of the nine
teenth century.-Was it not so, Julian ?
Correct me if I am wrong"
"You are stating the facts very sccu..
rately," I answered. II am beginning
to understand more clearly the nature
OF my former property"
"Now let us see what this bundle is,"
pursued the doctor. "Ah! yes; these are
shares in New England cotton factories.
This sort of harness was chiefly used for
women and children, the sizes ranging
down so as to fit girls and boys of eleven
and twelve. It used to be said that it
was only the margin of profit furnished
by the almost costless labor of the little
children that made these factories pay
ing properties. The population of New
England was largely broken in at very
tender age to work in this style of har-
ness.
"Here, now, is q little different sort.
These are railroad, gas and water works

We hope you will think about this problem We have
