Past Season Poor
One For All Fruit

With the close OF one of the poorest
fruit seasons in many years drawing
near, dealers are endeavoring to clear
up the remnants of what they have on
hand in order to make room for the
standard articles which will soon be
coming in. Dealers say that with the
lateness and uncertainty Of the past
summer, fruit Of all kinds has been
backward, and buyers have been con-
seSuently slow in purchasing.
Jonathan apples from Missouri and
Kansas are about the best variety on
the market at present but they are
high, selling at so cents a peck. They
are a selected crop. however and Of
excellent flavor Grapes from Michi-
gan are to be had in abundance, and
while they are not as popular as the
Concords. which come about the middle
of October. there is a good demand for
them.
Two cars Of Kiefer pears in bushel
basket lots from Michigan will be
ready for local buyers next week. At
present there are some good pears
from Maryland on the market. Corn is
getting hard. and that on the market
is not of extra quality. few cram
berries have made their appearance,
and will arrive in larger shipments
from now on.
Local dealers will welcome the time
when the standard fruits and staple
articles for winter begin to come in.
Fresh nuts. dates, figs. Spanish grapes
and raisins will not be long in arriv-
inc. bringing thoughts of colder
weather and Thanksgiving.

ULTRA-RADICALISM OFTEN
REACTIONARY

Besides, the violent tactics of Ger.
tain portions of the English and
French working classes had demon.
strated that the petty bourgeoisie al
ways became more moderate in their
opposition to the feudal and financial
aristOcracy when the workers assum-
ed an ultra-radical attitude Such pre-
mature radicalism always spoiled the
prospect of better political rights for
the mass of the people. Yet the tao
tics recommended by Marx and Eng.
els to the German labor leaders of
that period were too radical ana thus
calculated to render the petty bour-
geoisie timid and to deliver the gov
eminent into the hands of the feudal-
lists, thereby checking social progress
instead of promoting it, This atti-
tude of MarX-Engels seems still more
incomprehensible, when we learn that
the ideas of the Communist Manifesto
we're unknown even to the ablest Ger
man labor leaders until the middle of
the sixties. But even if these leaders
had tried to follow the advice of
Marx Engels, history would have
wrecked such attempts,
1t is far more important for our
present-day tactics to foresee the most
probable form and speed of the next
capitalist development than to fore
see the general drift of the whole
capitalist development OF course,
these things belong together and
should be seen in their mutual inter
relation. If we look only at one or
at the other, without grasptng their
necessary relation, we shall always
get a wrong estimate of evolution.
The difficulty of so-called independ-
ent labor politics arises from the un-
pleasant fact that a minority cannot
enforce it's demands by mass action
or by political representation, without
the help of other organizations, OF
classes, or representatives. If the
Socialist party makes immediate de-
mands which exceed by far the aver.

This action was taken after London
had made it clear that not only the
million Socialists, but millions Of 9TH
er people who are interested in his
career in congress, would hold the
majority responsible for any attempt
to withhold from him proper recogni-
ton.
The attitude taken by London in es-
tablishing, from the outset, the indie

in this congress, is made evident by
the following letter, which he sent to
democratic members of the Ways and
Means Committee.

The Information Department" was
conceived in iniquity. At least part
of the reason for organizing it was
the desire of Berger & Co. to chastise
John NJ. Work. Work had shown a
surprising amount of backbone. He
was the first National Secretary to
force Berger's Wisconsin Social-De.
mocracy to comply with our National
Constitution and send their list of
secretaries to the National Office. So
they disciplined" Comrade Work by
taking away from him functions that
until then had always belonged to the

result of this division OF authority.

hope that the radical German bour-

precisely the wide scientific outlook
