Say, Democrats Want Socialism

"Iua -mlIrh as tue Democratic party iS demanding what he Socialists want, dnu'l vou think it would be better t" VI with them sin C the, alr adv have a .,lWe'lnl organization and many po+ C vote that way from force of habit, esen though they may not agree with tn ir p tiOrm entirely.
 READER, Silsbe |, Cal.'
 Does the D m cratic party d 'nlud what the SocIali-t demand? And IS it poAsilA ur desirable by some abstruSt, nethod to win the votes of the people for something which they do not coli scentiuusIv desire. That the Demo- cratic party has q powerful organization 1 Z att. but that the power of that orpanizatinn can be utliz .d for the benefit of the toilng masses, IS alto getner out of the question. And again you nave mistaken the power oI the $ cillist ballot Tne increase of the Socialist vote by fifty per cent, small as the vote now is, would cause more stir in the ranks of the capitalist rulers, who rule from brhind the throne, then would Democratic victory on any sort of platform.
 Let Us see what the Socialist demand. You may then search the Democratic platform or make inquiries of any Democrat and ascertain whether they demand the same thing. The Soclalsts demand, primarily, that the producer small receive the full value oI his pro- duct, and b guaranteed an opportunity of employment at all times with the best equipment ihat modern science ana inventive genius has or can pro duce.
 In order that this may be, production must be carried on for use instead of for profit. And in order to insure that production without profit be carried on and the workers guaranteed employ ment, it becomes necessary that the machinery of production be owned by the users in their collective capacity. And then in order that justice between man and man be preserved as near as may be, it is necessary that the workers shall administer these means of pro duction by majority rule. Remember that the thing the Socialist demand first is that mans power to exploit man be forever removed and that what other demands are made are solely for tfe purpose of securing and maintaining this one. It is true that through the ares of the past, men have approprl- ated the resources of nature to their private use until the growing race has been unable to live without the use of what had already been appropriated.
 Those who were in possession exacted tribute from tho,e who had not, so that the possessing class reveed in idleness and luxury while the toilers endured wretchedness and poverty. This pro- duced an inevitable class conflict which wages fercer and more desperate as time goes on.
 Out of this class struggle arises the Socialist movement which is the first conscious effort on the part of the work ing class to rid itself of its exploiters and establish economic justice. This
