LA HO It A.MI TAAAT1U.I.
Alt taxes, direct or indirtet. are
paid out of the products of libnr,
but the working class are Utile in
terested in the specific question of
taxation on that account.
The question of taxation, in*'hid
ing the tariff, is distinctively an is
sue between the warring elements
of the ruling class the capitalists,
big and little, and they should be
left, to fight it out among them
selves.
The workers are very de
ceived for the reason that but few
of them study economic and politi
cal questions and do their own
thinking. For years—and even yot
—thousands of workers are deceiv
ed and humbugged by the protec
tive tariff, heralded by the vote
seeking politicians as the great an i
only invention to protect America.'!
free born citizens against the apu
per labor of Europe—pure rot for
star-spangled banner jackasses.
It is not through taxation that
the workers are robbed but through
exploitation. Whether taxes are
high or low is of little consequence
to them. Their wages barely cover
their living expenses and as a rule
they have no property to assess.
It is when they receive their pay
on Saturday night that they are
robbed of all they produce above
their cost of living and this is the
tact that they must clearly fix in
their minds instead of allowing
themselves to be muddled by the
office-hunting politicians with their
slush and harangue about tariff and
taxation.
When the boss hands the slave
his pay at the oncl of the week
that pay covers only a small part
of the wealth he produced, the
boss keeping the bigger share for
himself, and that’s where the rob
bery takes place and that’s whelre
it has to be attacked and put au
end to.
It is the wage system that must
bo destroyed by the united econom
ic and political action of the
workers, and (he capitalists retired
from participation in industry by
appropriating to their idle and use
less selves the weajtli produced in
the sweat of the slaves.
LIFE AND PROPERTY.
With all our boasted cvilizatiou
and all our progress in the arts and
sciences human life is till second
ary in consideration to property
Every government on earth today
!s organized and maintained primar
ily for the protection of property.
Property rights have priority ir
every civilized nation. If there ii
a clash between capital and laboi
the courts usi tl.cir powers to pro
tcct capital and to keep labor ir
chains; if the soldiers are called
■out it is for the same purpose
Workingmen are frequently sho'
do vn in a strike because the inter
ests of property are threatened.
Thomas Jefferson once wrote:
“The freedom and happiness o
man are the sole objects of all legi
timate government”.
There is not today, under tin
Jettersonian standard, a legitimati
government on earth. Propert;
rights are almost the sole object o
ail the civilized governments ii
the world. The dollar owners am
(ho property possessors, relativel;
few in number, control the gov
ernmeut and under their contro
it functions chiefly in the protec
lion of their “vested rights.”
As for the freedom and happines
of man, a mere workingman, tha
is no concern of a capitalist gov
eminent; its concern is that h
shall find freedom and happines
in producing wealth and comfor
and luxury for his master.
PREJUDICE.
Prejudice is knowing it isn’t s;
when you don't know anythin
about it. Prejudice is somethin
yourself, but you are sure every
body else has a lot of It. Prejudice
is the mother of laziness, the ally
of ignorance and superstition, and
the world's greatest bar to progress
Prejudice is the war god’s chief
support, made possible by the awful
shambles of Europe.
WORKERS WILE WAKE UP. '
Notwithstanding the effect which
improved intelligence in the work
ing classes, together with just laws,
may have in altering the distribu
tion of the produce to their advant
age, I can not think it probable
that they will be permanently con
tented with the condition of labor
I ing for wages as their ultimate
stact. To work at the bidding and
for the profit of another, without
any interest in the work—the price
of their labor being adjusted by
hostile competition, one side de
manding as much and the other
paying as little as possible—is not,
even when wages are high, a satis
factory state to human beings of
educated intelligence, who have
ceased to think themselves natur
ally inferior to those whom they
serve. They may be willing to pass
through the class of servants on
their way to that of employers; but
not to remain in it all their lives.
