SOUND ECONOMICS.
To the wage worker nothing is
more important than sound econo
mies. He cannot understand clear
how he is robbed nor how to put
an end to the robbery unless he is
fundamentally clear in his economic
knowledge. The subject involves
study, but it is not difficult to
grasp. To one it may come easier
than to another but all can and
should master at least its essential
principles.
Looss thinking is responsible for
much of the confusion and many
of the complications which arise in
the labor movement. Mental indol
ence is the curse of many a work
er and many another is afflicted
with the scarcely less pernicious
habit* of indifferent reading and
slovenly thinking.
The wage-worker’s highest duty
to himself is to be true to himself;
to understand his interest and how
lo improve it; his mental deficiency
and how to develop it; his moral
shortcoming and how to improve it;
his economic servitude and how to
abolish it.
Let the workingman keep steadi
ly in mind the fixed and unalterable
fact that what is done for him must
be done by himself and the no lc?s
important fact that while as r.n in
dividual he is weak and helpless, as
a class nothing can resist him—he
has the power, economic, political
and social, to overturn the world
and re-crcate society, from the bot
tom up, to suit his own desires.
Econctjnics is peculiarly the study
of the working class, most of
whom take capitalist economics for
granted, little droaming that the
economics cf their class are studi
ously barred from their sight and
knowledge in the educational pro
gram * and processes of the ruling
class.
Every working man ought to
know why he has to depend upon
a capitalist for a job; why his em
ployment is uncertain; his wages
small, and his condition precarious
and how he is to overcome the dif
ficulties that environ him, achieve
the mastery of his own job, secure
;o himself the product cf ids la
bor, and walk the earth in joy and
freedom, and this is possible only
by close and careful study ot' the
economics of his class.
He should take advantage of
every moans ot educating himself
.along the lines ot his class inter
ests-; he should tesad the best litera
ture with care r.nd discrimination,
f ttend iectures addressed by com
petent speakers and develop his
own capacity tc master the ques
tions involving his freedom and
well-being.
Don’t take the word of anyone ,
for graded, and don’t be satisfied
with having read a cheap tract or
pamphlet, but go deeply into the
solid literature, road the current So
cir'.ist papers rnd magazines, the
best of them, and make yourself
the master of the subject. You
will then be secure against the
wiles of your exploiters and the
tronchory cf your misleadcra and
become a factor in tha great
struggle for progress and freedom.
Whan the rank and file are sound
in their economics they will be
sound in their politics end on the
straight rond to freedom.
“IT CAN'T BK DONE".
That is what the avernge fellow
sa>-3 about anything new that is put
up to him. He Is certain that it Is
impossible, impracticable, that is
won’t work, and that ’’it can’t be
done.” It i--5 new to him and he
cannot understand that anything
can he done unless it has been
done before. He simply accepts
v/fcat is as the sum of what is for
ever to be arc} when you approach
him with a new idea you and it
ere certain to meet with a cold re
ception.
All the chaps you meet who say
I "it can’t, be done” are opposed to
J Socialism. They vote the republi
can ticket or the democratic ticket
because it ru’is in the family and
they knew th..t it can be done. To
their urthinking minds they are en
gaged in political politics. They
are doing the things about which
there is no question as to whether
they can be clone. They do not
think and they do rot progress—
except as they are forced out of
the old ruts in spite of themselves.
Opposed to these me os-covered
follows who say “It can’t be done”
there are a few live and alert men
and women who assart that it can
be done and then proceed to do it
in the face of a sneering and gain
saying world. They lead in the
march of progress and are at the
head of every crusade. They have
to pay dearly for their pioneering
in the scorn ai d contempt of the
unthinking majority who object to
being lifted out of the ruts end hav
ing a new idea disturb the cob
webs in atrophied brains, but the
price is worth paying, for in the
persecution they meet with and the
fire through which they pass the
dress is consumed and they emerge
in all the strength and glory cf
manhood and womanhood and their
names remain to bear testimony
that they lived and served and that
because of their having lived and
served humanity has risen from
caves and jungles to the shining
heights cf civilization.
i -
But this I know, that evory law
That men have made for man,
Since first man took his brother's
life.
And this sad world began,
But straws the wheat and saves
the chaff
With a most evil fan.
This too I know, and wise it were
It each could know the same.
That every prison that men build.
It built with brinks of sl&me,
And bound with bars lest Christ
shall see V'
How men their brothers maun.
“Never haste, never w
good motto. Don’t tear
bean bed because the vin
bear in a week after they a1
ed.
Don’t lake yourself too seriously.
Nature is not dependent on any
man, or any theory, on institution,
or movement for the accfciplish
ment of her great work of Vfeeding
the world. The moat you can do is
to whistle and dig in. w
Very few fully realize that social |
dream they dream. But the^ream
itself is the beginning of roliza- i
tion. If we did realize wit we
now want, we would immediately
want more and more. It is this
characteristic in humanity that
makes is certain that what the peo
ple dream will come true.
The development of many a man
has been entirely distorted simp- j
ly because he has felt it incumbent,
upon him to adhere to • an error to
which he has or.cc committed him
self.—Goethe.
All punishment which is to re
venge rather than correct must be
morally wrong, and, when the
world is at an end, what moral
or warning .purpose can eternal
torment answer? It is useless to
tell me not to reason, but to be
lieve. You might as well tell a
man to wake, but sleep.—Byron.
