Tii.- markets of the world ean-i
not buy tin' products of modern
machinery, if they run all the time.;
In oilier worths, the machinery can
produce faster than the wages
paid <an buy back. Thus a lac-;
tory with 1.000 men produces,
goods that the factory owner pit’s j
on the market at prices three
times as much as the wages he
paid his men for making them. As
.very factory, in every country,
does the same, you see die wages
paid cannot buy the total products,
and some of tin* faetories shut;
down and you cal! it a crisis. Hut j
if the priees on the goods were just
what was paid for producing theta,
mu can see that the 1,000 nun
ion Id buy back with their wages
all they had produced and so with
all other factories and shops and
mines, and there would lie no up !

"Yes”, replied Jones, "but if j

The private ownersliip of the
tools of production by the capital
ists reduces the workers to beggars
for jobs and ultimately sinks a
large proportion of them into pau
perism.
The beggar for a job is necessar
ily servile to the owner of the job
and cannot have the independence
of a man. He is an economic- de
pendent. an industrial subject, and
if he is content to remain in that
stale his doom is sealed. He lives
or rather exists primarily for the
convenience and benefit of his
master, lie has none of the attri
nor has lie any of the aspirations
of a man. He is to be pitier rath
er than condemned for he is not
only his own worst enemy hut a
millstone about the neck of his
brother in slavery who is in revolt
a id would if he could free be.
The working class of today is
capitalism's army of beggars, beg
gars for jobs, beggars for a chance
to exist, beggars for just enough
to keep them in condition to pro
duce wealth and comfort ami lux
ury for their masters, and wlunj
they have been exploited to the
marrow of their bones and old age
comes on they graduate into the
army of paupers and are finally
ticketed for the pottersfield.
The hope of the working class,
the hope of humanity, the hope of
the future lies in the revolt of the
slaves against the system that robs
impoverishes, insults and debases
them. And the revolt we do not
mean spasmodic outbreaks but pri
marily the spirit of resistance slav
ery, coupled with the resolute pur
pose to be free.
To break their chains and eman
cipate themselves from class rule
and exploitation the workers must
first have power and to have power
they must organize their industrial
and political battled and keep on
fighting these battles through good
and evil report until they finally
conquer their enemy, take possis
sion of their own, and make them
selves the master and rulers of the
world.
Never while the workers give
their votes to capitalist parties and !
allow themselves to he led by the j
nose by capitalist politicians will
they he other than wage-slaves, the
“lower class" of capitalist society,
which the rich idlers, loafers and
dead-beats in the so-called "upper"
class look down upon with scorn
and contempt. Stand up. Mr.
Workingman. and resolve to join
the party and the union of your
class and do your share to put vot
class in power anil to drive slavery
front the earth!
—
Under this system the average
worker is able to accummulate con
siderable indebtedness.
They who have made the world
rich live in poverty. They who
have built the mansions live in
shacks.
So long as you would like to
work and can't get work you art
not free no difference how "digni
fied" labor may he.
