sometimes influences politics beyond
its numerical strength. The trades
union movement and the Socialist
movement united In one fighting
whole. There was no fighting be-
tween the two bodies, and each voted
for the others candidates. The time
is coming when the working classes
will be the rulers of the nation and
the makers Of its laws.
