Nome. Alaska, December 27, 1915. 1
<
The New York Board of Health
lias authorized the sale of horse
flesh in January.
Thus, under capitalism, we rise
to the stars.
There's lots of good beef raised
killed and cured in America.
There’s lot of prime mutton, ex
cellent pork and succulent Alaska
reindeer, if need be.
But it's more profitable to sell
this meat to Europe; than to con
sume it at home, because simply
the classes which lack beef, pork,
mutton, reindeer haven’t got the
price.
It’s all a question of profits; not
as some might suppose the perform
ance of a useful function redound
ing to the welfare, comfort and en
joyment of the people.
Most still enjoy a belief in the
■myth that industries are carried on
for the purpose of human welfare.
The majority of the people are
cheerfully of the belief that agricul
ture for example is carried on in
t.he country for the purpose ot
feeding, clothing, or sheltering the
people.
But not a single industry is car
ried on for that purpose. They are
carried on for profits. If there were
no profits they wouldn't last r. day.
Common sense would close them In
an hour.
But whether they function use
fully or not, just as long as profits
are forthcoming just so long will
they be actively carried on.
There is no good reason why Am
erican people should not eat what is
raised in America first and there
after feed the rest of the world
when to them sufficiency had been
given.
There is no good reason why the
people of the country should not
have first call upon meat, the wheat,
the fruit, the vegetables, the cloth
ing, woolen linen or cotton, and
thereafter the needs of other na
tions supplied. Industries function
usefully when they furnish suffici
ently to those in need, what is re
quired.
Industries do not function use
fully when good clothing is exported
and the peonle wear shoddy; when
the beef and pork and mutton is ex
ported and the people oat hors,
■flesh. But it is not t;:. n- worth or
human welfare that cats any man
ner of figure out solely Profits.
•' The be-ail and end-ail of Indus
try is profits
Take another view. Here is the
munitions industry. Into it are
• turned men from most useful indus
tries by the hundred and by the
• thousand. Mflls that furnished
; forth tools, mechanisms, machinery
useful to men are silent; mills
• which produce chemicals deadlv
and destructive and ruinous to hu
■ man beings are working over-time.
The roar of their machinery never
ceases; thousands upon thousands
of “hands” are tirelessly busy it
tending the works that produce
death and maiming.
It's all a question of profits. The
profits in munitions qre enormous.
They are so great that even other
manufacturers are fearful on ac
count of them lest they reveal the
' damnable profit system to the peo
ple. They are described as de
grading, as debauching, as danger
ous and they are—to capitalism.
Comes now the man who will at
tempt to uphold capitalism what
can he say against those arguments?
How can he sustain the murderous
system that robs the people of this
■country to fatten those in other
places? Which diverts men from
useful, intelligent, beneficial func
tions in industry to murderous,
miserable, maiming, destructive
functions?
Yet any other system will ruin
the home, break up the family and
rear false gods for the people to fall
down before.
Surely thero is no God like untf
Mammon. Amen.
Preparedness is a biological ten
1
dency. Away back in the ages we j
see animals developing around the f
more important and tenderer sec- ]
tions of their anatomy protective ,
coverings; bony breast plates, horns, ,
leathery excrescences — different ]
means of prolonging existence in a ,
world red in tooth and claw.
It's singularly appropriate that
we should revert to this condition
under capitalism. And it’s need
may not be denied. Nothing is safe
under the strenuous struggle be
tween the nations for commercial
supremacy, for profit making exist
ence.
And it is good that we should un
derstand this,a nd take measure of
possible foes so that the nation
would also be prepared. Soft
spots in a world of
aggression are dangerous; armor
plate is needed and protection de
mands also readiness to attack; the
first blow is half the battle. The
disembowelled assailant or possible
assailant is likely to keep pes.ee a
while.
When among the beasts we must
do as the boasts do. Civilization
under capitalism is founded upen a
beastly violence. It behoves all to
be prepared to resist the violence cf
othors. That, or abolish capitalism
which no se.no person with a hank
cring for cent per cent will reason
ably think possible or probable o;
at all to be desired.
The world of struggle breeds red
blooded men with big fee-faw-fum !
mouths and nostrils scenting blood;
. I
hands dripping in the ichor of the
maimed teeth tangled in glistering
bristles; blood-clotted hairy hides
and eyes red with lust and cruelty.
In such a world, in sooth, the weak
go to the wall. Principles of life
are scraps of paper; ethical ideas
mere pipe dreams; concepts of
truth, justice, liberty, the visions of
mollycoddled insanity, tokens of en
ervated degeneracy in a race where
the victory is to the swift and the
battle to the strong.
Granted the jungle, jungle me
thods must be adopted. Granted
capitalism therefore arc the prepa
rationists logical. Protective meas
ures in a world of struggle are ne
cessary for survival. There is no
buoyancy i” the wings of justice
when the gravity of profit-seeking
drags men down. Men nui3t burrow
in forts, fortify by stealth and sec
recy, use shrewd cunning and de
vise with inventive skill, death, de
struction and dangers to possible
enemies. Where all the nations
scramble for profit-priczs, there is
death in the scramble for the un
armed—the naked are crushed un
der the iron heels and the unguard
ed temples are fractured by the
mailed fist.
Violence begets violence anu
violent measures excite viol
ent measures in return.
It may intensify the struggle and n
will, until the world is a whirligig
of passion and preparation, and ii
ends in Armageddon.
But it is scientific and that's its
beauty. It’s logical and that's its
necessity.
Surely is life a struggle and the
heroes are those who survive. Ours
is the ideal that success is the accu
mulation of wealth, and society in
sists upon being protected in its
achievement.
Thus will an acid test be subject
ed to the nations, and the thrones
of supermen be erected over the
skulls and bones of those who have
fallen. Pitiless, merciless, is capi
talism. But it needs preparation to
be defended. But, and that is the
hell of it, is capitalism worth de
fending?
Welcome the Full Dinner Pail1
We are going to hear of it again.
The republicans are going to make
the tariff the real issue at the next
election, and the intelligent work
ingman who has his labor displaced
by the pauper labor of Europe that
has been devoting its time mostly to
throat cutting for the past few
years, will be the subject of politi
cal commiseration. Dangled before
he eyes of the-’“hottest toilers'
will be our old friend the Fall Din
ner Pail, promised to all who sup
port a republican tariff and hcnca a
republican tariff-making govern
ment.
It’s always delightful to welcome
this old friend, and when the mem
bers of the grand old party begin
dangling this bait for suckers agape
to snatch at, it is surely mighty
pleasant.
A man, known for political pro
minence and up-lifting tendencies,
said that when he heard the repub
licans spring their Full Dinuet Pail
slogan, he said that surely here
have they defeated themselves; now
have they insulted the intelligent
American workingman whom they
would have make a god of his belly,
and whose brains would they place
in his stomayh. But the wise men
knew what they were doing. The
full dinner pail has material attri
tions that the Spartan fare of demo
cratic soup kitchens and the bread
lines even only made the keener.
Intellectual delights of economic or
financial controversy, sixteen-to-one
heresies or Coin’g financial scholar
ships were weighed in the balance
and found wanting. Tho old dinner
bucket full to tho brim with pros
pective eats carried the political day
and the slaves sighed when the al
luring prospect drew near.
Again the political tempter dang
les his fleshly attractions before the
eyes of the famished ones; again
the intelligent are to be won ovem
by the possible stimulation of their
gastric ganglia; again will the lu
scious vision of a job tempt the
slave, and again like enough will
he fall an easy mark to the superior
intellect that realized his weakness
It is true that the fate that over
took the former Full Dinner Pali
promise, and the battered derelict of
speeding-up factories that imposed
itself on the industrial slaves in in
fant industries fed upon the pap ot
protection, may occasion some
doubts, and a few St. Anthony s
may resist the temptations of the
world and the flesh and the devil
that the Evil Ones display. Maybe
recollections of Taft prosperity and
Roosevelt efficiency may not prove
so tempting, and the poor nutriment
of injunction sandwiches and cos
sack pies they so kindly provided
in the full dinner bucket may make
some hesitate. it is possible but
you can fool an awful lot of the.
I workers all the time if ycfi go about.
! it right with political promises.
