has DO way of telling how the citys money is

to show that the real increase in the city run

20 46 per cent. only a fraction more than the
increase in the citys population in the same
period!
On the face Of the budget the increase has
been 100 per cent. With due allowance for the

of more than IS 0O0.O00 had TO be sold in order
10 make up deficiencies, and so he adds those TO
the 1895 budget. But special revenue bonds are
sold every year. Why doesn't he add those or
1903 10 the 1908 budget:

a., SETBACK FOR SOCIALISM.

As dlsconcertinC to socialism as Its own faiiure
TO get its expected million votes was MI "oh-
ners's failure TO induce labor to vote as CLASS.
The labor leader used the accepted tactics OF
the Socialist party. He appealed to class con-
sciousness" He asked organized labor 10 cease
its habit of voting for parties and TO vote lot
labor But his appeal fell on deaf ears. There
is nothing in the result TO show that the ranks
of union workingmen were conscious OF any IN
forests as such that they could serve only by
voting as unit They voted as citizens, NOT
As members of class They revealed no class
consciousness.
Now. this is full of significance for the So
ciaIist nropaganda Mr.. Gompers was in bet
ter position to succeed than it is de addressed
a body which is minutely organized. which is
separated by its organization from unorganlzed
society and which by reason of its organization
has certain interests of its own distinct from
those of the rest of society. Moreover. ii is an
organization in which, within a certain compass
the sense of authority is strong. and Mr.. Com
ners advised AS its highest officer. Yet under
conditions So favorable as these the attempt at
IAN sppeal to ella SIS consciousness" failed. What
encoura cement then. is there for the Socialist
party making q similar appeal TO people I'D
state of unstable equilibrium socially. like the
American people? Socialism has very diff
ferent situation TO meet in this country. where
there are no fixed class lines. from that III
Europe where classes so hard and fast tnat
rising from one 10 another is rare and diflcult.
The class appeal was adapted to society Win
which the founders Of socialism were famliiar'
but II has vet TO prove successful where sense
of hereditary social barriers is lacking.
The socialists themselves explain their com
narrative failure in this last campaign by the
assertion that some Of the vote they formerly
had and much that they would otherwise have
received was attracted to Bryan. Probably this
is true but they extract scant encourage
ment from il. Socialism as q system is taking
little hold OF the public mind If mere radical
ism on the part of one Of the major parties VIII
cut the ground from under if.
