a year. But we are not willing to let
it go at that, the grand, old Republi-
can Party is doing it's level best to
hang on forty-five millions year
more in pensions.
Do you know why that is? They
have had bill before Congress to in
crease the pensions. The old soldiers
are nearly all dead, the widows near
ly all dead, their children grown up.
and the Republican Party wants to
put it's hands to the throttle. Do
you know why that is? Last fall the
Republican Party struck a heavy
frost (aDplause) they found that
even the G. A. r. men were begin
ming to vote independently. They
said, We will fix them, we will give
them forty five millions in money and
they will come back. That is what
it means. That is the way the Re-
publican Party is trying to make
friends with the independent G. A. R.
men, they are going to dig up forty
five millions out of the treasury and
get ready for the campaign. 1t is Il
lovely plan. Three hundred and fif-
teen hundred millions of dollars is
the total cost of the American Civil
War. That dosen't mean anything to
the human mind. We must think OF
| it in terms larger than dollars. and
smaller than millions. Let us take

in homes. Socialists are accused o.

are the legal representatives of cor
porations. We need not expect them
to vote against their own clients. or
to vote against their own fnancil in
terests.
Socialists are not attacking private
property. They are attacking the
private ownership of public property.
The power to own public necessities
is the most dangerous power any ma
ton ever tolerated. There is no law
under Heaven. human or divine. that
gives people the right to let man
own the things upon which they de-
pend for life
Capital is that which is, or can be,
used in creating more wealth. In

The speaker related an incident
that occurred in Pennsylvania. Dur
ing the last election. he said, he went
among the union men and the miners
and urged them to vote for the So
c1alist candidate for Judge. Many OF
them said they would do so, but it
was no use. He could not fbe elected,
and they did not want to loose their
votes. The Socialist candidate was
defeated. The successful candidate
had scarcely taken the oath OF Office
until he issued an Injunction against
the very workingmen who had elect
ed him. They were on strike, and
the coal company drove them out of
their houses. They were enjoined
from going near or past the coal
works. Some of the miners desired
to attend the funeral of one of their
number, and to do 50 they were COM
oelled to pass by the company's prop
erty. The brother of the deceased
man wrote to this judge. asking tha,

(By John w. Slayton.) \

The men who produce the wealth
or the world have brains enough to
manage 1T after it is produced, de-
clared Comrade John w. Slayton in
his address, "Unionism and Social
ISM, at the Y. M c. A. Thursday
evening. In ancient times workers
were taught that they had no souls:
that government was a divine
prerogative, to be exercised only by
those belonging to the upper class
es.' Now we are told that the work.
ing people have no brains; that they
are incapable of managing or taking
part in their own government, ana
incapable Of managing our indus
tries.
The speaker averred that it is not
lack of brains that is the cause of
the condition of the working people
today. Many of them, he said, are
ike the girl, who, when asked if she
had a conscience replied: Eyes, 1
nave brand new one, but 1 left it
at home on the bureau"
Some union men say that politics
Will break up the union. But If the
unions do not go into politics, politi-
clans and capitalists will soon break
them up. The speaker declared he
mad been connected with unions for
many years, and had witnessed many
strikes. Some of them were success
ful, but more unsuccessful. ''Sup-
pose you do win an increase of wages
| or, say, ten per cent what does it
amount to? All the capitalists have
| to do is to raise the cost of living
fifteen per cent. and you have lost
five per cent The efforts of the
workers to better their conditions
without going into politics the speak
er likened to a bird trying to fly with
one wing. or a dog chasing its own
tail: They make a great deal of
; noise but accomplish nothing; they
get nowhere.
New conditions require new part
les. The Republican and Democratic
Parties were originally formed to
solve problems that no existing part
les could solve. The Republican
Party was called into being to solve
the problem of slavery The other
parties could not solve that problem
because they were owned and con-
trolled by the slave owners. It is use
less for US today to expect the Repub-
Itcan or Democratic Parties to dc
anything for the working class. Oul

Editor Argus:
I find the following in the Daily
Mail to day:
Very satisfactory progress is be-
ing made at the Marietta Docks on
the towboat being built there for
the Marmet Smith Co. The new
boilers are the finest that could be
found and will be three in number,
They will have plus twenty-eight feet
diameter. The boilers will be al
lowed to carry 22O pounds of steam.
Why the editor did not go and tell
the boys this boat has the contract
to transport the steam roller he used
on Capt Avis in Fayette county to
this new field in Cincinnati, is a mys-
terry unless he is afraid Geo. Cox will

1he above Is copy of a letter that
the Kelly Axe Manufacturing Co.,
required their men to sign before
they could enter his factory AS the
reader can see this is q letter to the
United Brotherhood of Bit Drawers.
the signature is required by this
slave driver to give up his rights as
free American citizen and become
traitor to the organization that he
mas sworn, to support. The Kelly Axe
Mig. company belongs to two organ
izat1ons. yet will not allow their men
to belong to one. What right has Mr..
Kelly to deprive these workers Of
their rights and privileges?
is 1t right that because Kelly owns
the factory and the means whereby
these man must secure the necessities
of life, he should have the power to
drive these men back in to his slave
pen with the lash of necessity? Is
1t right that one man should be SO
powerful and have SO much authority
that he could withhold the means
or life from many and starve them
INTO submitting to a form OF wage
slavery just as vicious as chattel
slavery? Who made Mr.. Kelly his
money; was it not these same men
he is now exploiting? Every dollar
invested in the Kelly Axe Company
mas been wrung from the sweet and
olood of labor. Thousands OF human
lives have been ground into profit
and many more thousands of wears of
