Socialism Should n.v. . Hearing.

Under the caption "As to Socialism"
the Boston Guardian says: Socialism
Is certainly subject up for consider
alton by colored Americans. With the
Republican party abandoning the whole
race to Its political enemies. with the
southern Democrats still showing the
traditional prejudice. with the Repub-
lican progressives caring naught for
aught but political allies and their eco
nomic hobbies. socialism should at
least have hearing"
