WHO DOES A HIGH TARIFF
BENEFIT7

Figures are stubborn things, they
arc frequently used to prove both
sides of a case, but there are times
when they cannot be disputed.
The twenty-second annual report
OF the Rhode Island Bureau of In.
dustrial Statistics shows these facts:
wages of operatives in wooden
and worsted mills are paid from 81
to SO week; so per cent of opera
tives are foreign born.
Wages in silk mills, 81 to IS a
week; SO per cent of. operatives are
foreign born.
wages in cotton mills, 81 to SIS
week; so per cent of operatives
are foreign born
Wages in rubber factories, So to
50 week; 70 per cent of operatives
are foreign born"
And yet with all this evidence,
duplicated many times, we hear and
read that American labor must be
protected from competition with
the "pauper millions of Europe
and that the wages of the free born"
must be kept up!
President Taft when he signed the
tariff bill, admitted that the rate on
wooden goods was too high.

THE sANcTlTY OF THE HOME.

That the trades unions have done
more to preserve the sanctity OF the
home than all other agencies COM
bined is a pretty wide and sweeping
assertion, and one that will not be
conceded or accepted without a clear
demonstration as to its truth. 1t Is,
however, undeniable that organized
labor is the only movement in all this
world of ours that makes a special
object OF the betterment OF the social
conditions Of the workers. The trades
unions have undeniably increased the
wage rate of their members. The
trades unions have undeniably forced
every reduction in the hours OF labor
The trades unions have forced the
fight for better factory acts and for
sanitary workshops. The trades I'M
ions have always led the agitation
against child labor and for the pro-
lection of womanhood. These things
are so plainly apparent that no intel
ligent individual would think of deny
ing their truth, therefore, in raising
the wage rate, the trades unions nave
enabled millions of workers to provide
better and more comfortable homes
for their wives and families, to place
more ncurishing food on the table.
and to clothe those dependent on
them with better raiment. 1t means,
if it means anything at all, that the
trades unions, and the trades unions
only. have made it possible for the
workers to live in real cottages in
stead of novels.

boarding house. but thousands Of
them would perforce die If necessary
for their little homes and families.
The more dollars that organization
enables man to secure in return for
his labor the better home 1t will en-
able him to provide. But it is not
only the having of homo in itself
that counts. it is also necessary that
a man shall have time to live in and
enjoy his home and associate with
his family also. In other words,
man must have recreation, time for
necessary amusement, time to read
and store his mind with useful know
like man ought to feel, and that
boon has been won only after years
of agitation and after many a fierce
conflict solely through the organized
labor movement. Men who have poor
and poverty stricken homes do not
make good citizens, THE ,airls and
boys brought up in them are sure to
drift out upon the street Honest
poverty is no crime. but it Is more
difficult to live virtuously In a hoveI
than amid comfortable surroundings
Go out into the tenement districts,
where vice and disorder is rife. they

they are the kind Of homes that union

there were no unions to protect them,

enjoy were only made possible by the

WHAT is THE DIFFERENcE7

HOW 90 you Know tnat SOCIALISTS
If elected would not be just as cor
rupt as republicans or democrats?"
This is the question more often
asked than any other by those who
do not understand Socialism.
Tho difference between the Social
list party and the capitalist parties
is fundamental.
Tho old parties try to patch ur
the holes and leaks in the decayed
system which they serve. but do no:
want to destroy the system.
Private ownership in public utilities
cannot be maintained without spec
ial legislation in its favor.
The old parties are parties origin.
ated and supported by the owners
They are in power for the owners
They do the bidding or the owners,
AS soon as the old parties cease
to serve the owners they cease to
exist.
Tho private owners must use labo,
to do the work. For the owners them
selves do not want to work.
They must treat labor III such a
manner as to be able to control it.
They must also present a seeming
front OF fairness.
1t is therefore that the owners use
their own parties, the republican
democratic, prohibition and others OF
the same kind to legislatc in keep
ing with their own best interest
Tho best they can do is to appear
to serve the people and fool the mas
ses into that belief
To serve themselves and also the
working class is entirely Impossible.
Nor does 1t make any difference
republican or democratic These
exploiting class.
You as a worker can, therefore,
not expect any relief from either
All you will get Is enough to maintain
yourself so that you may be profit
able to the owners.
The Socialist party is entirely the
opposite to the other parties. The
Socialist party is made up of the
workers and is their own instrument
OF self-protecuon.
As the old parties stand for private
ownership, which means exploitation
graft, corruption and everything
that IS wicked, so the Socialist party
stands for public ownership of pub.
lie utilities. which means that the
people as whole rather than few
shall enjoy the good things of life.
Now, the old parties have succeeded
in serving the purposes for which
they are maintained
Why should not the Socialist party
serve the purpose for which it Is
maintained?
IT the old parties have served their
masters, why should not the Socialist
party serve its masters?
And since graft and corruption
have their source in private owner
ship. will they not disappear with the
disappearance of their source?
The Socialists are of a different
turn OF mind and have a different
object in view from the old party ad-
herents.
The old party servants have the
saving OF private interests as their
goal The Socialists have the saving
OF the whole working class as their
goal.
They know that as individuals
neither they nor the rest Of the work.
