We are constantly asked to explain
the philosophy of socialism in a few
short simple words that can be read in
few minutes and easily understood.
This is impossible. Socialism is an
elaborate system of thought that
touches every phase Of human life. 1t
has a literature Of ten Of thousands
Of volumes. There are men who have
spent years on single phases OF so
cialist philosophy and still have not
touched its depths.
The same thing is largely true of
every great system Of thought. None
oil them can be understood in a mo-
ment. There is no royal yoad to
knowledge.
Yet there are certain fundamental
principles Of every philosophy and sci
ence that can be explained so that

The Miners Magazine writes: Some
members of the Western Federation
of Miners who have been uncovered in
their infamy as Pinkertons are remem-
bered as the very men who in strikes
have endeavored TO arouse the bellig-
ereucy of the membership. In many
instances these spies and traitors have
used all their powers of eloquence and
persuation to convince their fellowmen
that they were the only genuine reyo-
lutionary representatives of the work
ing class. Whenever any member of
a labor organization endeavors to
create the impression that he and
few others are the only genuine brand
Of the clear-cut, elass.conseious and
heroic stalwart in the army Of "Eeon-
omic Freedom" ssch man or men will
stand considerable watching. Exper-
ienee and facts have taught that thiS
kind of eloquence draws salary from
a Pinkerton agency.

nation it looks as if they anticipate
trouble over the foreign market some
day.
Then again this manufacturing habit
is not confined to any one nationality.
See how quickly Japan acquired the
habit; and now China is falling into
the habit too. Just when you get
market opened up with some foreign
country and fondly imagine that they
can eorsume good chunk of this two
billion dollars surplus they get the
manufacturing habit and begin TO look
for a foreign market themselves. SO
we see the manufacturing circle is con-
stantly growing larger and the for
eign market is constantly growing
smaller, and what the deuce the manu-
featuring nations are going to do when
the last foreign market is looking for
a foreign market, is another question
that puzzles me.
But to come back to our first ques.
tion, | can't see what benefit il is TO
the people who have produced these
goods TO have them shipped out of the
country after they have produced them.
The statesman tells us il comes back
TO us in goods and gold-a certain per
centage in goods and the balance in
gold-pounds sterling. And they point
to the "balance" as evidence of "our'
prosperity. Now, who gets the goods
and goldf When 1 look about me, /
see very little goods in the working
man s home that came from foreign
country. A cup of tea or coffee is
about the limit. / don't see the farm
er or mechanic wearing imported cloth
or imported diamonds / don't see
their house adorned with imported Ia
pestry and pictures And as the
daughters of the workers are poor they
can I capture an imported title. What
do, we Of the working class, get out
Of these imports anyway We don't
get the gold. That belongs to the
class who own the machinery Of pro-
duction, which ownersip gives them
possession Of the surplus product.
And they don't need the gold to pay
us wages because the wages We receive
for producing this years goods we
pay back to the owning class for our
twenty per cent Of what we have pro.
duced and they can use il over again
to pay US for next year g work. 30
tho pounds sterling remain in the
possession Of the possessing class.
Now il looks to an unsophisticatei
workging man this way; II this ship.
ping Of goods TO foreign markets and
receiving gold in return went on in
definitely we would, in time, have all
the gold and the foreign countries
could not buy any more Of "our"
product. But the way the owning class
have Of keeping up the circulation, is
no trouble to them. They 20, or send
their wives and daughters, of on globe
trotting expeditions, trading OF the
gold for diamonds, dogs ani dukes and
come back home with their private
yachts and state-rooms loaded with
laces and silks and rugs and jewels
and rare works Of art TO adern their
homes, and leaving the gold with the
foreigner so that he can buy more OF

food stuffs will rise in price. People
will find their grocery and butcher
bills increased 80 per cent over last
