Plain Socialist Preferable.

ut Is admitted that they will pos
sess the power to exact arbitrary
tribute upon substantially every neces-
sity Of life. But it is proposed that the
amount they shall take. the profit they
shall make. shall be limited by the
government.
1.-THE fnality of this proposition is that
the government shall assume duties of
management and control as onerous and
burdensome as those which fall upon a
proprietor, but that the profits Of the mo-
nopoly thus created shall be divided
among the few wealthy men who control
its capital stock.
What. now, Is the difference between
this plan and the policy Of that party
which capitalists love- to condemn and
execrat under the name Of socialism?
1t Is this: The proletarian socialist pro-
poses that the government shall exer-
else all the functions above described for
the benefit Speaking broadly Of all the
people; the plutocratic socialist proposes
that the government shall perform these
duties for the benefit OF few favored
individuals. Not being a socialist Of
either type. yet assert that between
these two propositions. the proletarian,
or plain. common. everyday socialist,
has million times the better OF the
argument"
