And calm the soul with dreamless rest
To stop in the heart the singing pair
And bring il TO JOY and life again
1t holds the senses in a mystic spell
And why it is so. we cannot tell.
We love to hear rich harmonic ring,
We love to hear sweet @oices sing
1t rests us when We are tired and sad
When we hear music it makes US glad
We feel there is joy in being able te
live;
We are willing TO receive, We should
be willing TO give

But the British claim, when examined be quite

1884, between the Sultan of Suu and the British North

treaty between Great Britain, Germany and Spain in
which it declared that all the islands in the Suu

& M. Cheeley SHES at the issue raised
by me, and raises one himself on
the merits and relations Of the demo-
Gratis and republicans during the civil
war. Now as the war is over, it
would be a waste of. printers ink to
discuss that ISSUE
Briefly, however. slavery has not
been abolished In the United States
orthe world. 1t has merelychanged in
form. re have wage slavery now
under the capitalistic system of pro.
duction. Both parties believe in this
form OF slavery and SO declare them
selves In their platforms and in the
laws and execution thereof. The only
difference in the two ia that the re-
publican party is the party of the
"big' capitalist; the democratic
party Is the party Of the "little"
ca 2italist. The working class is not
in them except to blindly vote one or
the other on election day.
The socialist party is the party Of
the workers. Declares against slavery
in every form and will give to the
worker the full product of his labor
by eliminating every vestjge of profit,
interest and rent, as now understood.

Their lives are songless. prayerless

and day oat. They march to work
in toe early dawn, sullen and silent,
and present the most pitiful spectacle
that ever disgraced a civilized state,
and they cry out in mute agony for
mercy when there is no mercy.
Slavery?
Yes. In Georgia.
Organized labor has begged for a
law Of relief for 6 years. but democ-

Because it is the ''little' capitalist
