Chicago, Sept IL. 1908.
To the Trades Unionist and Trade
Unions.
Fellow workers. greeting: A ques-
tion has been raised in your midst
which deserves a straightforward an
swer.
Brother Gompers. president OF the
American Federation OF Labor. having
lately entered the political arena. edi-
torially in the Federationist for Sep
tember. asks the question Of the So
cialist party Where did you get the
money!"
You are well aware OF the fact that
the Socialist party is the only political
party which publishes its every finan-
ciaI transaction.
Previously list of all contributions
up to August Is was published and
circulated, and complete report up
to September is herewith supplied.
This report is the sufficient answer
OF the Socialist party. But we now
respectfully request you to make fur.
ther reply by assisting in financing the
only political party which is composed
OF, and stands for, the working class.
and working class interests alone.
Now, capitalism and the wages sys-
TEN. viewed from any standpoint is in
defensible. II presupposes and justi-
fies the eternal ensalevement of the
working class, by conceding property
rights. in the means of life, to the
master class. Millions of willing
workers, idle and starving in the most
bountiful country in the world-these
be its fruits today.
What is the working class? The
millions who produce all wealth, and
who by the same token of right.
should own all wealth.
In the above declaration there s no
evasion, thought of compromise, or
shadow of turning.

But IL is a matter OF surprise that
the democratic party should make
use of such material at this time,
when IL has been making the grand
stand play that il is the party OF labor.

into a convulsive though abortive
effort To line up the unions on the

crimes. An attack on the labor un-

the democratic party expects to win

the oppressive capitalist when IL has

The labor trust game was ats-
tempted here In Montana by Tom
Swindlohurst at the last session OF the
Legislature in his Infamous anti

other of those nasty catch-trap affairs
that the capitalists attempt to slide
through on the sly, expecting that la
bor will never know il IL being knitted
until the issue comes. and the "law"

striction OF combinations OF labor.

Greatest Demonstration Ever Seen
There.


At Detroit over 1000 persons Were
at the depot to welcome Eugene V.
Debs and the Red Special" of the
Socialist party and their enthusiasm
knew no bounds when Debs appeared.
A parade of 5000 people marched be-
tween lines of thousands of cheering
spectators to the Armory. where 5000
eager listeners were already assem-
bied.
When the socialist candidate for
president entered the Armory he was
greeted with the greatest demonstra-
ton ever seen in this city. Women
waved handkerchiefs and men hags
and hats. while cries OF "Hurrah for
Debs and the Socialist party" shook
the building.
Debs, in a fiery speech. drew ter
rible picture OF the evils under which
the working class suffer, described the
treachery of the old parties and em-
phasized the fact that only the So
ciaiist party stood for the emancipa-
ton Of the working class from wage
slavery.
The great meeting here was the
climax OF busy Sunday. during
which many extra stops were made
by the Red Special" and immense
meetings held at Ann Arbor. Vicks-
burg and Battle Creek. Among the
listeners at Ann Arbor were 200 uni

heartily approved.

Dear Comrade Bruce Glasier:
Your letter of the 18th ult. was sent
on to me here.
The differences between Hyndman
and Kirr Hardir have attracted the
attention of the German Socialist
Press also. So far as I can observe
from here. the German Socialist Press
has taken the side of Keir Hardie
against Hyndman.
Your people ought to be satisfied
" IN that fact.
i''i myself. would not interfere
in this quarrel. ] do not like any
meddling i'm the differences whi' n
have arisen between foreign comrades.
II might easily lead to unpleasant
Consequences.
Ny conclusion is that our friends
81 the other side of the channel are
1"rll, -ssly excited over this war busi-
Ec'Ss.
We, too. in Germany have a great
economic crisis to meet. IL is the
most unlucky moment to think of a
war That would, indeed, he to cast
out the devil by Beelzebub.
Besides, a war between England and
Germany would lead To n European
war-that IL, To a world conflagration,
such as has never before taken place.
The German Social Democratic party
will do its utmost TO prevent such. but
should IL happen in spite OF all their
efforts. those who light this fire would
also have To bear the consequences
which await them.
The vast majority OF the Germans
nic not thinking OF a war with Eng
land. and. indeed. do not do so on
quito sober, selfish grounds. We have
nothing To gain, but much to lose.

mentioned, urgently dissuade the Eng

In reply. will state that while the
overwhelming majority of the people

there is not perhaps a single man in
this city who enjoys to greater de-
gree than Mr.. Debs the affection. love.
and profound respect Of the entire

He is cultured. brilliant. eloquent.
scholarly and companionable, lovable
In his relations with his fellow man.
At home he is known as Gene" and
that perhaps indicates our feeling to-
wards him as a man. independent OF
his political views.
He numbers his friends and asso-
ciates among all classes. rich and
poor. and some of the richest men
here. people who by very instinct are
bitter against socialism. are warm per-
sonal friends OF Mr.. Debs.
His personal life Is spotless and he
enjoys a beautiful home life. Few
public men have been more persistent

press of the country.
