a let down TO Our present era OF

inevitable result of the approaching
crisis sure to follow the present
boom. Let there be any great num-
Der of unemployed men, let there be

The Awakening.

Harper's Weekly is one of the
most conservative of the capitalistic
journals. From its columns the
quotation given below is taken. If
you think Socialism is puny
movement of lot of cranks, if you
think it's Importance is underesti-
mated by the big journals, read
these lines:
You will not hear the Social
lists mentioned in Washington.
Why should you? The politicians
are always the last people in this
country to see what is going on
under their noses. They will jeer
at me when prophesy, and prophe-
sly with the utmost confidence, that
at the next Presidential election the
Socialists will poll over million
votes, and that the party of the flu
ture in America is the party of
Debs, Hearst, and Gompers. They
do not realize that the masses have
sickened of the buncombe and in
sincerities of the old parties, or
that they are coming to realize
that politics, as played in the Unit
ed States, is no more than a game
between two sets of sharpers at the
expense Of muddle-headed public.
That public, l believe, is growing
every year less and less muddle-
headed. 1t is having a pretty Sc
we're training in actualities; it is
getting to see things as they really
are. 1t sees, for instance, that in
America the scale dips down on
the side of capital more heavily
and wantonly than in any other
country in the world. 1t believes
is it wrong in believing ?-that

that there is above and beneath it

that together they control all the
functions of government; that>the
courts and the ballot-box are merely
instruments of this power, and the
Constitution a handmade to their
iniquities; that all legislation is
conceived in their interests, drafted
and voted by their henchmcn; that
there is one law for the rich and
another for the poor; ten thousand
for the protection of property, and
twenty for the protection of human
life; that under the forms of democ-
racy the American system and the
American ideas have been warped
and perverted into conspiracy Of
plutocrats and professional politi-
clans against the common veal ;
that justice and equality-not only
social equality but economic equali-
ty, equality of opportunity
vanished from the American soil
and that many millions of Amer
leans, women and children as well
as men, fatuously calling them
selves free are held in the grip of a
wage-slavery more horrible and
more remorsclcss than that of the

Paterson as a DrOne.

From the Chicago Record-Herald.
Milwaukee, July 15-Joseph Me-
dill Patterson, of Chicago, the
young recruit to the ranks of Social
ism, today posed as horrible ex-
AMPLE OF the idle rich who deprive
others of their wealth in order to
live in luxury.
81 am a drone,'' he said in mis-
speech at the Social Democratic
picnic. ''For the past five months
| have not done a lick of work.
There is the point. Some people
have been producing wealth which
l have consumed. l can put that
better. Some working people have
been depriving themselves of the
wealth which they have produced
in order that l might live in idle
ness and luxury.
This would continue, he said,
until the working people woke up
to their power. Without firing a
shot or building a barricade, he
said, the working people of the
country, by the use of the ballot,
could put stop to it.
1T will not stop until then, he
added. THE capitalistic class will
never say the word. The working
class will serve me and the class |
typify all their lives, and their
children afterward, unless the
workers make a change. 1t is a
class struggle
Mountain Home maverick. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1906-1911, 1906-10-04

Neither we nor any other nation
have ever yet experienced over-pro-
duction. Can it be possible that
there is too much wheat raised or
too much coal mined or too much
clothing manufactured, while there
are so many who do not have
enough to eat or fuel enough or are
not decently clad, and yet who are
willing to work? No, we have
never had over-production, and if
we ever do it will be an unmiti-
gated blessing instead of a curse.
Mountain Home maverick. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1906-1911, 1906-10-04

Under the coming cooperative
commonwealth there will be no
capitalists; the workers will receive
certificates to the full extent of
what they produce. If ten mill
lions worth of goods were pro-
duced the workers would receive
ten millions in wages, less what
they saw fit to vote upon them
selves for public expenditures.
Therefore it would be Impossible to
have over-production, under-con-
sumption, hard times or crises when
the people collectively, or the gov
and goods were made for use and
not for profit.

An Opinion of GOOding.
From the Idaho Unionist.

From the Idaho Unionist.
The imported Pinkerton despera-
does and time-serving hireling
officials seem determined to make
Idaho justice the same putrid stencil
as that of Colorado. The illegal,
abominable, odious, vile and ex-
ecrable acts of Governor Gooding in
the Steunenberg case have done
more to injurc this state and re-
tard its growth than all the good
work and the advertising of our
public spirited citizens will ever
be able to counterfeit.

The capitalists would do away
with competition by forming trusts,
so they can have all the savings that
result from cooperation go into
their pockets, along with their ex-
tortionate trust prices. The So
cialists propose that this saving
shall go to the people as a whole,
and that there shall be no extor-
ton.
