socialists have ever held the doctrine
 of equalizing men and conditions.
 The committee says that each one
 should receive the full value of what
 he produces. That Is the socialists
 fundamental proposition. It Is also
 their principle that labor is the
 only standard of the value of pro-
 duction. The conclusion therefore
 would be that labor should have
 everything that Is produced. The committee tells us that 'the tools of
 production are owned by men who
 do not use them. That is not ab-
 solutely too true for many working
 men own their own Exit" as they
 term it. l presume the committee
 means the machinery, etc. Well,
 who should own them only the men who paid for them? The proprieto"s "s of the Democrat paid for the presses, their linotypes and all that goes to make up the tools of production used in editing its daily edition. Will tho committee hold that every pressman, reporter and all of the Democrats staff have an equal right with M Maloney whose good solid cash paid for these instruments of production. And by the way, I don't find any so- cialist making any assignment of whatever instruments of production he may possess.
 The committee tells us that all workmen are robbed of the profits of their labor. The only thing I find in proof of the assertion are the gov ernment figures of averages. Aver aging is not always the most just basis of calculation, for it assumes what is not true: that all produce equally. The averaging basis leaves out of consideration many other cir. cumstances that are necessary for a just calculations; hours of labor, the holidays, shop rules, piece work and a thousand and one other things. It may easily be true that the average pay of the American workingman is $437.00 and his average production $2,450.00; but it does not necessar- fly follow that each man in his own trade is not receiving a just share of what he produces for many of the producers may contribute but con- partively little toward the whole amount produced.
 Again we must consider not only the proportion of $437 to $2,45O, but | also the proportion $1,963 to this money invested by the capitalist which, let it be remembered, | the workman would not be able to make even his $43700.
 The committee seems to agres with me that the old order of in- dividual production has passed away and the point of collective has come. I can't see low it follows that collective owner ship is right. Let me suppose that commenced my young manhood working for the ordinary weeks pay.

SOCIALISM AS IT IS AND AS IT ISN'T
Former Writer Defends Els Position aud Ouo!es Facs and Figures Which He Respectfully Refers 10 the
 Waterbury Socialists.
Editor of the Democrat:

Editor of the Democrat:
 The writer of "A General Survey
 of Socialism" does not intend to en-
 ter the lists of controversy knowing
 full well that If he continues the
 project now in mind. controversy
 would require more time than he
 could honestly spare from other
 things. He comedies the right of
 any one, individual or committee, to
 criticise him and hopes that with a thorough airing of the subject wrong
 impressions on both sides may be corrected He would, however, say
 few words in regard to communt
 cation in Saturdays issue of the Democrat signed Committee of So- cialist Party. First of all he would assure the committee that he is not Ignorant of socialism having in his possession many of the books men, tioned by the committee, while per- haps the committee have not as many works as he treating the other side. Neither does he wish to mis- lead and careful re-reading or his General Survey" will reveal this fact that for most, if not all, the as- sertions he made he quoted from approved socialist authors.
 The committee seems to think that l was actuated by ignorance or nal. ice when I made the assertion that the socialist tenet is the ''equalizing of men and conditions" and the com- mittee goes on to say that no one who has studied the science of so- cialism ever held that such a tenet was broached by socialism. I do not know what authors the committee will admit as socialists. It is just possible that they and I would be in the same ranks. However, what Is known as the Gotha Programme Is declaration of socialists rights. at least the brand of socialists I had In mind. And the Gotha Pro- gramme demands "equal rights and equal duties for all, the removal of all social and political inequality" (system der Ethick, P 729.)
 I would also refer the committee to Bebel (Du Frau, P 150) to Stern (Thesen uber den Socialismus. PI 19), to Liebknecht (Ber1iner Volks- blatt 1890, No 253). These were all recognized leaders of scientific socialism. But what is this absolute equality of rights demanded? Ger tainly not equality before the law for that exists already, though of course sometimes defeated by the evil machinations of men. There is also political equality for each in his state of life. There remains only the equality in social life, and that all might have that all should be equal so that Lietknecht's de- mand for absolute equality of rights would logically infer the equality of all men, for otherwise the demand would be based upon injustice since society is and ever will be divided into countless professions each with different duties and with correspond ing rights. I cannot therefore agree with the committee that no scientific

 aIr. Hisgen said in part:
 The only way to unite the reform elements of both the old parties Is in a new party, and the only way to de- feat the reactionary clements of both the old parties is with new party.
 Thanks to the present senseless divi- sion of the reform or progressive ele- ments, the control of the government has slipped away from the people into the hands of machine politicians and party bosses.
 I believe that the first essential of all reform is to take the conduct of public affairs out of the hands of special in- terests and their tools, the corrupt bosses, and restore it to the hands of the people.
 To accomplish this I heartily advo- cate, as does our platform, direct nomi- nations. the initiative, the referendum and the recall.
