CAPITALISM

nothing accomplished. 1t reminds me
of when boys wrestle, falling side by
side. They call that "dog falF'
That's what we had in Tennessee.
Nothing accomplished The scramble
for Office is disgusting to anyone who
would be glad to see a pure democra-
cy or a rule of the people established
for the first time in the history of the
world on tie ruins of Capitalism.
Hooner and Taylor stand for Capital
ism, and so do Bryan, Heart, Roose-
welt, Taft and their ilk Capitalism
stands for everything black, mean and
degrading, which the human mind,
aided by his Satanic majesty, can
conceive. Under Capitalism the work
ingman, be h. farmer or laborer, has
no more show to develop himself into
the being Col intended he should be-,
than a SNOWFALL would have in the hot
regions of the damned Capitalism is
supreme in "our" (their) land, in
''our' (their) government, in "our"
(their) churches, in "our'' (their)
schools, and in "our" (their) every
thing.
Capitalism is the father eff political
parties by and through which men
"cuss' and discuss men, and by which
principle is forever laid to rest. 1t is
the power behind those professional
preachers about whom Uncle Tom has
30 much to say. Their living comes
through it. They have always p1each-
ed for them and will continue until
their masters are put out of business.
l don't get mad about it, but am sor-
ry 80 few of our people know any bet
ter. In the South where slavery was
profitable the preachers were for it.
The slaves did not pay them but their
masters. In the north chattel slavery
was not profitable and the preachers,
evsr true to their masters, preached
against it. By and by it was discov-
cred by the capitalist that wage slav-
cry was cheaper to them and you find
about 80 per cent. of the preachers
preaching for that now.
In other words, if you will show me
where mans living comes from
can tell you for whom he breaches
under Capitalism. In New York they
preach again Socialism, but over in
Milwaukee the Socialists captured the
city in spite of them, and now they
preach for Socialism This may
sound unfriendly to those who have
not inve tigated history and sit with
their mouths open, young bird like,
and swallow everything the preachers
say, but am not mad with them.
They must either work, beg, steal or
starve. They prefer begging and what
they fail to beg of you, Mr.. Working
man, your Capitalist masters make
good.
The kind of religion we have now,
Uncle Tom, is, just pray for what you
want, and vote against it. This al
ways looked to me to be the grossest
kin of ignorance, but the majority of
people seem to enjoy it. If you can be
kept on your knees praying the CAPT
talists like you. If you learn better,
one of Rooseveit's undesirabies.
Education will supplant all this,
with higher ideals and this is to come,
is now coming, and will continue to
come through Socialist literature and
the labor of Socialists. Victor l.. Ber-
ger Socialist member of Congress- be-
ginning December 4th, will force Cap
italism grand old party managers,
Rockefeller, Morgan and Vanderbilt,
through Joe Cannon as auctloneer in
Wa hington, to advertise, sell and 9th
erwise dispose of the following de
scrlb4d lrop rty, to-wit.
One Republican Elephant, about 40
years Old, bunch of Injunctions and
''high cost of living, old enough to
wean, sired by "Gold Bugs and dam
ed by EVERY One Republican
Platform, good as new, only been used
for campaign purposes. A large num-
Der of planks from the Democratic
Platform have gotten mixed i'll, but as
YOU can't tell which is which, they
must all go in one lot. One Big Stick,
somewhat worn from over use. One
Republican Machine, lightly damag-
ed One Financial System, supplied
with Clearing House Certificates, and
little cash A large stock of empty
dinner pals, Teddy Bears, Taft Smiles
and other items too numerous to men
ton There is lot of old junk, such
az Tariff Reform, Free Silver, etc,
belonging to the Democratic party,
which must positively go in this sale.
This sale will positively begin at
the time and place mentioned, regard
less of the weather, as everything
must be cleared out before 1919 as the
Socialists will then take charge of I'm
Gle Sans business Everybody, re-
CARELESS of past party affiliations or
servitude invited. Roasted Grow will
be served by the Republican Club.
This stuff must be cleared away.

This will be capitalism's end This
picture may be little overdrawn, but
is as sure to be in the very near future
as God is. For think, 80 of every 100
city wage workers own no home, three
million children, from five to twelve
vears of age, and more than seven
