promising and deadly class struggle.
In fact, they are organized upon the
basis Of class struggle.

mark the note Of fatalism), they say,
is al certain as the rising OF the sun.
Just as the merchant class Of the

democracy applied to industry, and to

embraces the mines. the factories, the
railroads and the ocean carriers. In

merchant or capitalist class, and from
the materials to construct new socI-
