to his customers with a sermon in
one hand and loaded gun in the
other Novel methods, indeed. But
these were revolutionary days In
America.
Some Questions Of a counter-Revolu-
ZIONIST
When Boucher saw that his sermons
could no longer go with the Ameri-
cans he decided to fee rather than be
deported. Entertaining the opinion Of
most of the Tories. he thought the
struggle would be OF short duration,
and prepared to return soon. He left
for England fully convinced that the
government would make short shrift
Of the revolutionists. But before sail
ing Boucher addressed a series Of
questions to the people OF Maryland.
Some Of these we reproduce as ex-
tremely thought-provoking regarding
the attitude of the reactionaries OF
1776 and their counterpart, the reac-
tionar1es OF 1926.
What good reason can be given
for any committees, not known to
the laws of the land or the consu-
tuition, taking upon them TO debate
and determine ON matters Of the
highest moment, and which affect
the very vitals OF our constitution"
Certainly, the reactionaries, then, az
now, hated and feared the new organs
Of state power being set up by the
new ruling class. Everything that the
subject class does to secure freedom
and supremacy is always Illegal and
against the prevailing constitution.
did one man in a thousand of the
people Of this province give a vote
for any of the members, OF the said
general committee?"

have here of the class dictatorship set
up In America by our forefathers In
order to secure the victory for bour-
geois democracy. Only to the super
fetal observer is this contradiction
puzzling and painful. To. the Marx
fan this Contradiction" is a reality
which reveals the crux of the whole
strategy and tactics OF class warfare.
A parting shot was fired by Bou-
cher In his last letter to Washing
ton, dated August 8, ITS, in which
he closes: you are no longer worthy
OF my friendship; man Of honor can
no longer without dishoncr be con-
nected with you. With your cause I
renounce you."
This was no longer the day Of ver-
bal arguments. The day Of arms had
arrived. The First American Revo-
luton was on. Reverend Boucher en-
barked Afterwards. In common with
other Loyalists in general, he obtain
ed regular pension from the Brit
ish government.
A Book For Students.
We have given only few typical
selections from these confessions Of
counter-revolukicnist Of ITS to Let
in some welcome light ON the First
American Revolution. It win taks
much light to penetrate and break
the mist In which our Official histort-
ans have wrapped our First RevOlu-
ton and hidden its real class charac-
ter and basis from the masses.
No student Of American history
viewed as a dynamic story Of class
struggies-can afford to miss this
book. A critical and thoro examine
ton Of its contents win well repay
those who are prepared to draw valu-
able lessons for the problems Of to-
day from our struggles OF yesterday.

plants and attacks of the ozarists and
capitalists the world over against the

lea call democracy to their rescue
This is also typical OF the antt-Bolshe-

Champions OF capitalism in the bour.
geois parties or the defenders OF the
bourgeoisie in the socialdemocratic
leadership. Speaking actually for per.
petuating bourgeois oppression and ex-
ploitation, all OF tho ''treedom-lovers"
(for the ruling class, Of course) talk
like the Bouchers of ITS OF Justice
or common sense, or even Of the com.
mon ideas Of liberty"
But here is another set;
What is tyranny but the assump-
ton and exercise OF power without
authority?
What liberty can the people Of
this province be said to enjoy, when
their arms necessary for their per
sonal defense have been arbitrarily
taken away from them; when they
no longer have free press; when
the ministers of the word OF god are
dictated to and controlled in their
holy function and when even the
freedom of private debate is over
awed by committee censures and the
denunciatipn Of tar and feathers"
The ruling class at any particular
historical moment always looks upon
itself as the source of all authority.
When Boucher speaks of disarmed
people, he Is expressing his grief at
the disarming Of the counter-revolu-
tionists-those loyal to the govern
ment. And what a vivid picture we
