The Commonwealth. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1911-1914, 1912-10-04
CAN THE FARMER BECOME
A REVOLUTIONARY
SOCIALIST.
By a Farmer.


Editors Note.-This is the second
article on the relation of the farmer to
the socialist party. The first, by Com
ade Emil Herman, is answered in the
article below. His reply will be well
coined. The Importance of the subject
leads the Commonwealth to welcome a
weekly debate.)
Without much propaganda effort on
the part of socialist agitators, farmers
of the West and South are flocking into
the socialist camp in numbers great
enough to attract marked attention.
This is not fortuitous circumstance.
They are coming to socialism like other
workers because of strenuous economic
conditions in their particular environ
ment the result of industrial develop
ment.
Fear is entertained by some socialists
that the farmers, being technically and
theoretically in the capitalist class, may
not be a desirable accession to the So
cialist movement, A knowledge of the
facts and conditions in the case ought to
dispel their fears.
After three or four years of intense
silence, and mastery inactivity" in the
socialist movement, Comrade Emil Her
man is again out in his fayorite pastime
of persuading the farmers that they are
headed the wrong way; and in his clos
ing statement informs us that the real
poor farmers must give too close atten-
ton to their (immediate) interests "to
permit of much revolutionary activity in
the socialist movement" Comrade Her
man is so anxious to discredit the farmer
that ne contradicts the socialist philos-
ophy and the facts of history. Witness
the Lawrence strike and all of the recent
strikes of unorganized labor-they have
been forced down to a point where they
would about as lief die as live, and that
is why they become revolutionists.
There are plenty Of farmers in the
United States who are at the jumping
off plaee-they are ready for the revo-
luton and they are coming into the So
eialist movement because they know
that socialism spells revolution.
Every one who is competent to discuss
the farmer question knows that they
work longer hours and receive In the
roundup a smaller per cent of the prod
net of their labor than any other class
of workers. Hence the great problem
with farmers is. and has been for years.
Glow to keep the boy and girl on the
farm" And the fact that farmers are
coming to socialism proves that they are
learning how to solve the problem, and
that they are not soft on THEORY
While technically and theoretically the
farmer is a capitalist and an evploiter Of
labor and therefore theoretically belongs
in the capitalist class. unfortunately Dbl.
wife and children are exploited 20 IN.

SOCIALISTS OPEN CAMPAIGN
IN MASON COUNTY.

Shelton, Sept 5, 1912
The socialists opened the campaign in
Shelton on the evening of September a.
The meeting was called to order by the
county secretary, who introduced Com
rade Reynolds as chairman. After a
short address the chairman introduced
Comrade w. II. Kingery, candidate for
representative of the Thirty dis
triet, who delivered a very able lecture.
Dr. w NJ. Beach, Comrade Kingery's
opponent on the republican ticket, was
invited to reply, but after coming to the
platform declined to speak
Several Tacoma comrades were present
and furnished some good music and cam
paign songs
Just before the close Of the meeting
Or. Beach announced that some time in
the near future he would tell the people
all about socialism as advocated by sci
eutific socialists, but he did not extend
to the socialist party or Comrade King
cry an invitation to reply; therefore, the
socialist party Of Mason couRty is com
PEELED to ask that the doctor show them
as much courtesy as they tried to show
him and his party
Every socialist i'm the county is able
to wear a broad smile, for it looks like
a victory for November All or nearly
an, of the producers I'm these parts have
come to the conclusion that elertiug para
sites 20 DO their business Is an absolute
failure.
Yours for the revolution,
J. FRED FERRIS.

limit working for their board and clothes.
So, while we may admit that farmers
are capitalists to please Comrade Her
man and to save time and space, the
fact remains incontrovertible that THE
FARMERS CHILDREN ARE proletar-
ians. When they grow up he cannot give
them each a farm or set them up in
business. He can only stand helplessly
by and see them march off into slavery
and sell themselves-their'l labor power
wherever they can find buyer. Even
Comrade Herman will concede that the
farmers children are proletarians and
therefore they belong in the socialist
camp. So if the father and mother fol-
low their children, my word is, receive
them with open arms and God bless
you"
The farmer that farms the farmer
the landlord is capitalist and he is
usually class conscious. But the farmer
who is farmed by the landlord must give
one-half of his crop to the landlord be-
sides all of the expenses of producing
the crop, outside of his own labor. Now
we must not call that exploitation be-
cause it would make some socialists red
headed, and they would want a whole
column in the Commonwealth to refute
that statement; but we can tell the truth
without fear of contradiction by saying
that the tenant farmer is knocked out
of about two-thirds of the product of his
labor in the first round.
Farmers are not exploited; to say that
they are would technically contradict
Karl Marx, but somehow or other they
are beaten out of large per cent of
their labor. Socialism promises to all
workers the full product of their labor,
and farmers are learning that capitalism
and capitalist parties can not protect
their economic interests. That is why
they are becoming revolutionary social
lists.
I have tried to be concise and brief,
and have by no means exhausted the
subject. If Comrade Herman wants
more information, with permission of the
Commonwealth, 1 shall be pleased to ac-
commodate him.

ture course contracts from the locals in
the midst of campaign. It would be
still more difficult if it were made i'm
possible to inform them who the lee
turers are to be. Some of those which
have already sent in their contracts
would probably cancel them if it became
doubtful that they were to get the de-
sired speakers. The financial loss would
