About Socialist Votes.

In the coming election you will have
the opportunity of registering your APP
prevail of capitalism, your desire for its
continuation; you also have the oppor-
tunity of registering your protest and
your determination that this system
shall be destroyed
[ am appealing to you but not for
your votes. We socialists do not ask
your votes. We socialists do not ask
you know what socialism is and if you
are in the working class you will vote
for socialism without being asked. If
you do not know what it is and if you
are satisfied to take such information re-
garding it as you get from capitalist pa
pers and capitalist magazines, then your
vote would do us no good and wouldn't
ask you for it.
The republican and democratic poll
ticians appeal to you to vote. Have you
ever heard one of them to appeal to you
to think? We socialists do not appeal to
you to vote but to think. We are doing
what we can to turn on the electric
light in your brain and when you see a
socialist you know almost at a glance
that he is in the party. He may not
wear very good Clothes he may not be
regarded as a desirable citizen; he may
live in a humble cottage possibly what
you would call shack; inside you will
find a man there and a woman there
and it is a house of light. You will also
see upon the shelves the standard books
on economics and history and science
He knows why he is a socialist but You
don't know why you are not. You may
hate him, he pities you. You think you
know him, he knows he knows you. He
can give an account of himself. You
don't know a socialist who can't read
and write, you don't know one who can't
give a reasonable account for the faith
that is in him.
It is his ignorant and benighted fellow
workingman who thinks that the social
list is foolish and is throwing his vote
away. This same ignorant working man
don't throw his vote away; that is, he
doesn't think that he throws it away.
Oh, no, he makes use Of it. He votes
for slavery because he knows that he
has a dead cinrh on that and can't lose.
He doesn't take any chances for free
dom because he fears he may lose, so he
votes for slavery knowing that he's
bound to win.
No man throws his vote away who
votes his true interests The socialist
vote expresses the determination Of the
man who casts it to be- free. His first
vote doesn't secure his freedom. nor does
his second vote nor perhaps his last
vote but while he is developing his po-
..tieal power DE IS also developing his
economical power Tie IS building the in

hence this will have increased the
thickness of the earth considerably.
This would have a tendency TO bring
US closer to the sun. But centrifugal
force is augmented ut the same time in
greHter proportion and counteracts this
tendency: consequently the earth would

MORNING GRAIN LETTER.


Chicago, Dec. 23.-Absenoe OF ma
tive wheat supplies in the central west
leads TO firm December cash wheat sit

Local newspapers in their Monday
reviews favor the idea of firmness in
all grains. Locals think wheat and
corn might be lower today against the
the down turns in all grains and pro-
visions.
The hog situation strengthened last
week
News of the past week was not de-
cisive as 10 the wheat trend. There
was enough bull news to produce
bulges.
The wheat visible will probably in
crease literally today. Guessing at
weekly visible increases, this year is
an erratic affair.
Bearish sentiment in corn is passing
swiftly. Only moderate down turns
are expected.
Central Illinois says dealers are IN
| able TO secure cars TO fill sales for De
cember and are selling very little corn

cured, the January run Of corn will be
large.
