SCHNEIDER EXPELS
MORE SOCIALISM
FROM HIS SYSTEM


for grating Is or 80 cents from every
dollars worth of products which poor,
blind, ignorant Henry Dubb has sweat
and toiled for, fit and bled. Out of
the remaining 20 or % cents which
this white-collared, lily and long
fingered middle class fraternity grac-
iously permits him to keep, he feeds,
clothes, houses, amuses and educates
himself and family poorly enough,
with never three months from char
ity, or the poor house. An American
Indian, bushman, Zulu, Patagon-
ian would scorn to take the place of
the American farmer, or wage worker
In the trades. Now, while Henry
Dubb is working for the middle class
and surrendering three-fourths of his
product to them, this same middle
class is toiling, moiling, sweating,
fretting and striving to rake and
scrape together the little piles with
which to pay dividends, interest on
bonds and mortgages to the high
muck-a-mucks, the plutes, the upper
one per centum. In the last analysis
Henry Dubb keeps the whole outfit
from Morgan and Rockefeller down to
the night policeman. Together this
ruling class in every nation amounts
to about 10 per centum, the other 80
per centum are the Henry Dubbs of
course; they include the farmers,
who are the most outrageously skim
ned, robbed, plundered and exploited
of the whole lot. This middle class
Of collectors for the plutes is permit
ted to live fairly well is paid good
salaries and commissions, lives well,
in good houses, rides in autos and
works on an average about four or
five hours per day, nominally owns
everything in sight, land, tools, ma
chimes, mines and what not, including
Henry Dubb's job. Let US not for
get the ten acres and freedom fakir.
He is necessary to help collect some
Of the little piles for the plutes. This
time he is after the savings of the
lower middle class and better class
wage workers. He gets them, too;
takes his thirty shillings and turns
the rest over to the owners of the
earth and goes to look for more
lambs and suckers to skin.
The truth hurts! Therefore do not
tell the truth-it might offend some
body! White lies, fashionable lies,
conventional lies and d---n lies are
what the middle class and its employ
ers want and gets them too in abund-
ance from its hired press for the BEN
eft Of Henry Dubb mainly, but its
bound to keep his bosses very much
within the same class of ignorance.
But the poor, ignorant cotton pickers,
cuke, bean, cantaloupe and other fruit
growers are those whom this syste-
matte Icing gets in the neck and
causes to sweat, stink and toll for a
pittance very near the actual cost line
of production if not in many cases be-
low it; and yeah after year they
swallow those lies and get themselves
little nearer the bread line and the
poor house with each crop delivered
to the middle class collectors. As
the 80 per cent of course are the prin-
cipal consumers as well as producers
of all exchangeable wealth, the more
they are robbed and exploited by their
employers, the less they will be able
to buy in exchange for their own
product, hence the absurd cry of over
production, unemployment, hungry
children and their mothers, fathers
tramping the streets and country
lanes, vainly hunting a master, while
this nobleman is securing the towns
and villages for women and children
to work, toll and sweat for him at
one-half to one-fourth the wages men
could be induced to do it for. AS to
the masculine bypeds, there is no
work, not even grits and a. bit of
bacon in the shape of wages, to say
nothing of shoes and calico. Silk, ice
cream, lingerie and six-dollar shoes
are all for the noble fraternity, who
do the collecting for the plutes, who
everywhere ruin and destroy what lit
tie of civilization there might be after
five thousand years of teaching and
preaching the ten commandments and
the golden rule. Now, the various
governments of the several nations,
no matter what form. fake title, or
false colors they are sailing under,
are owned, controlled, established, up
held, supported and kept in place by
these various plutocracies, whose
board of trade, commercial agency
and committee of collections they are
IN the larger, more international way,
while the middle class does. its work
at home in collecting the small piles
in the shape of interest, profits, rents
and taxes, from the poor silly Dubbs,
who do all the useful and necessary
work, produce every dollars worth of
wealth and get about as much out of
their servitude as the mules, whose
south end they are admiring for II
hours a day.
Now, Mr.. Editor, while independ-
ence may be and is the motto of a
barbarous, might is right" .sdevil

thieving, grating society, which is
