UNCLE SAM AND
BROTHER JONATHAN
BROTHER JONATHAN—I've just
joined the National Consumers' Assoc
iation of Workingmen.
UNCLE SAME—That's interesting.
But what on earth have you. a wrok
ingmnn, to do with a consumers’ as
sociation.
B. J.—Am I not a workingman?
V. S.—Thou said’st it.
15. J.—And aim I not a consumer?
IT. s.—Thou speakest true again.
B. J.—And am 1 not a workingman
robbed as a consumer?
IT. S.—How, where, when?
B. J.—Wfe II, I mean that as a con
sumer of commodities 1 tun robber by
the Food Trust, and Beef Trust, and
Coal Trust, and Sugar Trust, and all
the rest, toy their charging extortionate
prices for everything. I'm going in
for reduction of prices, for lowering
the cost of living, for—
IT. S.—For "cheapness?'
B. J.—That’s it, for cheapness.
IT. S.—Aral thereby, you think, you
tire going to stop the robbery of Li
bor?
B. .1.—Sure Mike!
U. S.—I thought you said you were
a Socialist?
B. J.—I did.
U. 8.—Have you had an accident
lately ?
B. J.—Accident nothing!
U. S.—Haven't been struck on the
dome toy something?
B. J.—Say, what’re you driving at?
U. S.—I thought that may be I de
tected signs of softening of the brain.
B. .1.—None of your personal al
lusions. What's the matter with my
argument?
U. S.—You are mistaken.
B. J.—Mistaken, eh? Show me.
U. S.—in the first place if your ar
gument were correct it would mean
that not only workingmen are robbed
as consumers, hut capitalists also, be
cause workingmen are not the only
consumers in society.
B. .1.—Well, and what of it?
U. S.—Then you'll have to admit
that all in society are robbed as con
sumers .
B. J.—Wait a minute—
U. S.—And the more we consume
the imore we are robbed!
B. J.—Are you trying to put me
"'in a hole?”
U. S.—And the less we consume the
less we are robbed! So, according to
your argument,' a person could step
his being "robbed” by cutting down
on consumption!
1». M,—It does seem that there’s
something ti e matter with the ‘ on
sumer” argument.
U. 8.— Mid then consider 111! < more
fundamental matter.
IT. J.--."hat’s It; give me fnml.i
tiiPitli'l tUrs; 1 'ike >> get at the
bottom of things.
U. S.—Your position and argument,
summed up, means a demand for
cheaper living.
15. .1.—I grant that.
V. S.—Do you know what happens
l.o the working class under capitalism,
under the wage system, when it can
get along mdre cheaply?
B. J.—‘Well,-what?
U. S.—It gets lower wages.
B. J.—That’s your theory.
U. S.—It's tort, historical fact. Do
you know what economic history
teaches upon the point? Do you know
why the manufacturers of England
wanted the abolition of the Corn Laws
and desired cheaper food for the indus
trial population? They wanted a
CHEAPER industrial proletariat.*.
Y-our free trade agitation teaches- yoa
that.
Do you suppose that tariff agitation
—free trade and high tariff—is meant
in the Interest of Labor? You know
the gentlemen who line up on the tariff
"issue,”—manufacturing capitalists of
diffeiec hinds? Do they leek horns
upon the issue in behalf of the work
ing class?
B. J.—I suppose they do make a
pretense of doing so.
U. S.—Rut you know how they show
their hands when Labor confronts them
for more of the Wealth it PRODUCES?
B. J.—Dure say I do. They OP
POSE Labor.
U. S.—So that their talk of tariff
in the interest of labor, of "high
wages” and cheap food is a swindle
upon Labor?
B. J.—-It does seem to work out that
way.
U. S.—Indeed so, and any person
of experience can confirm ltf The fact
is that a lower cost of living simply
provides the capitalist class with a
CHEAPER industrial proletariat.
Take the other side of the poroposi
tion. You’ve seen the cast of living
soaring in the last decade, and you’ve
seen the working class struggling ot
ter increased wages to try to main
tain its standard of living Nominal
wages have risen somewhat, but not
in even ratio with the cost of living.
And even now capitalists arc talking
of a ‘ readjustment of wages" after the
war. But what's the moral of it all?
Just this: That the working class,
under capitalism, gets, and must get,
a subsistence wage—a very elastic
quantity—or the capitalist class has
no working class to produce its div
Idends and profits.
B. J.—Well, and what then??
IT. S.—Then this: Cheaper subsist
ence does not solve the economic op
pression and exploitation endured by
Bailor . Your “consumers’ ” stunt does
not meet the situation; it is a will-o'
the-wisp; if anything, it turns labor’s
attention from the robbery practised
upon it by the employer.
IS. J.—And what is your proposition
with reference as to where Labor is
robbed ?
IT. S.—The robbery that is prac
tised upon the working- class takes
place in the workshops, in the plants
of production. It is there that the em
ploying class hires the workers to
produce wealth, pays them a wage be
low the values they produce, and pock
ets* the difference. You must throw
your support to the Socialist Libor
l'arty, which demands the full value of
the product for Labor, (live u.e work
ing class that, and you'll not be caught
by “consumers’" snares. There’ll be
no question then of not being able to
consume what is produced.—Weekly
People.
Thera's no secret to success. Suc
cess comes with hard, persistent,
systematic work. You’re tackling
the revolutionizing of capltr.list so
ciety. Think of that while you’re
at tho job.

First thing we know we're going to have a Bone Dry country
out and out. Already the mighty prohibition wave is engulfing
“demon rum" and the flood gates of righteous antagonism against
John Barleycorn is going to sweep him into everlasting oblivion.
Thousands of men in the country over are going to shortly find it
impossible to get their daily, most of them their hourly “nips”
and those fellows are going to look up the best bottled drink they
can get to wet their whistles with. They are not going to “get
off" booze, and drink any pink “tea slop" Oh no—they want
something with a delightful relish—a sparkle and a zest and the
AKS.VLA drink is going to fill the bill to a T-Y-T. Wets ovary
spot in the internal arid district, soaks it down good. No dust
left in your throat after a bottle of AKSAIjA For sale every
where.
