"The ruling class has seized upon

"The Congress of the United States

government. The legislation for which
the labor organizations have eontin-
uously petitioned has been rejected.

The srant legislation apparently passed
for their benefit has been so distorted

TO help.

or from the dominant parties. So long

'So long as the wealth production
Of the country is based on individual

OF them into beggnry, ragrancy and al
forms Of crime and vice.
"To maintain their rule over theii
fellow men, the capitalists must keeI
in their pay all organs Of the public
powers, public mind and public con
science. They control the dominating
parties and, through them, the elected
public officials. They select our ex
ecutives, bribe our legislatures and cor
rupt our courts of justice. They own
and censor the press. They sway our
educational institutions. They own the
nation politically and intellectually
just as they own it industrially.
"The struggle between wage work
ers and capitalists grows ever fiercer,
and has now become the only vital
issue before the American people. The
wage-working class, therefore, has the
most vital and direct interest in
abolishing the capitalist system. But
in abolishing the present system, the
workingmen will free not only their
own class, but also all other classes
of modern society: The small farmer,
who is today exploited by large cap
ital more indirectly but not less eff
fectively than is the wage laborer; the
small manufacturer and trader, who is
engaged in a desperate and losing
struggle for economic independence
in the face of the all-conquering power
of concentrated capital; and even the
capitalist himself, who is the slave Of
his wealth rather than its master. The
struggle of the working class against
the capitalist class, while il is a class
struggle, is thus at the same time a
struggle for the abolition of all classes
and class privileges.
"The private ownership of the land
and means of production used for ex-
ploitation is the rock upon which class
rule is built; political government is
its indispensable instrument. The
wage workers can not be freed from
exploitation without conquering the
political power and substituting col
lective ownership for private owner
ship of the land and the means Of
production used for exploitation.
"The basis for such transformation
is rapidly developing within the very
bosom Of present capitalist society.
The factory system, with its immense
machinery and minute division of la
bor, is rapidly destroying all vestige
of individual production in manufac-
ture. Modern production is already
very largely collective and social
process, while the great trusts and
monopolics which have sprung up in
recent years have had the effect Of
organizing the work and management
of some Of our main Industries on a
national scale, aud fitting them for
national use and operation.
In the struggle for freedom the
interests of the workers Of all nations
are identical. The struggle is not only
national but international. II ON
braces the world and will be carried
to ultimate victory by the united
workers of the world.
"To unite the workers Of the nation
and their allies aud sympathizcrs Of
all other classes TO this end is tine mis-
sion of the Socialist Party. In this
battle for freedom the Socialist Party
does not strive to substitute working
class rule for capitalist class rule, but
to free all humanity from class rule
and to realize the international broth
erbood of man."
