looked with a longing through all
newspaper editorials and quotations
from Abraham Lincoln. but the most
profound expression from Lncoln's
great heart and mind Is quoted only
BY Socialists Of today. and is never
discussed at fashionable Lincoln day
banquets by Republicans. Democrats
and Moosers. Far greater than his
Gettysburg speech, penetrating into
human events and natural rights,
much deeper than his emancipation
procla nation was Lincoln's sentence.
Il would as soon man had me
chained 10 log as for any man or
set OF men TO exercise control over
the means by which l live" i am
quoting from memory. but this will
be found TO be substantially correct.
What did Abraham Lincoln meant
There can be no mistake In the in
depreciation of this sentence. Lin
coin was always plain and to the
point. The means by which the
great people OF all nations live to-
day is by their productive or creative
energy-"the sale OF their labor pow
err" Whatever controls the means
OF labor controls the means by which
labor lives. This power is productive
and brings reward TO the seller Of
his labor power only when given ac-
cess to the instruments of produce
tion and the means OF life which are
the products Of nature. Lincoln was
in reality contending that every
man should have the right to labor
and enjoy the full fruit OF his labor"
and that when any person or class
OF persons exercises the power TO ex-
ploit other persons OF the product
Of their toll. they have them in eco
monte servitude-"chained TO a log"
The time now IS when the means
by which the masses live are con-
trolled by a very few. n small class
OF large men. in fact. we are all
chained to the log of profit produce
ton. and IL the future security OF
rich and poor alike Is 10 be enjoyed.
and conflict is TO be sverted. produc-
ton FOR use must supplant the profit
system and human exploitation for
profit must cease. The relation OF
the general welfare TO the economic
base OF society. OF which Karl Marx
was the greatest student and scien-
list OF all time. must be regarded.
IL Is not assuming too much TO say
that Abraham Lincoln in his young
days was benefited by the labors of
Karl Marx. who was analyzing capt.
talist production about the time OF
Lincoln's political activity.
