evolution, to charge individuals Witli arraying these two classes against each other is like accusing the whitrcups on the crests of waves of stirring up the" mighty deep. David M. Parry is doing as much to array class against. class as any other individual. though he aims at the op- posite efl‘eot. The slave owuers of the south were the chief instrumentalities in their own overthrow. The tool owners of capitalism are be- ing shaped for similar ends. The late Senator Hanna was disceru~ ing enough to foresee what was coming. when he predicted that the great strug- gle of the future would be between the Republican party and the Socialists. It requires ra’re discrimination to choose between the Republican and De~ mocratio parties. Ninety per cent. of the voters could not tell the platforms apart. Tncre is scarcely an issue be- tween them, and certainly none, nor the shadow of one, so far as the working class is concerned. Political parties express the ecdnomic interests of classes. The Republican party represents the dominant capitalist class; the Democratic party the small capitalists. The latter are being worstâ€" ed as a class, and their party is tottering: on its foundations. It is to-day in all essential respects a Republican party. This is all that holds it together, and. even in spite of this it is disintegrating.» As the middle class crumbles the Demo», cratic party tumbles. In the coming phases of the class struggle there will be room for but two partiesâ€"namely, a working class party and a capitalist class party. The capi- talists know that this political alignâ€" ment is fatal to them, and are doing all in their power to prevent it. But they are pitted against the inexorable laws of industrial evolution, and sooner or later the alignment will be 'made and the working classes will triumph over their cxploiters. The Republican and Democratic par- ties have united at every point where Moving Toward Socialism. ___â€"- By Eugene V. Dabs. A few years ago the Socialist philos- ophy was spurned as irrational and im- possible, and its exponents were looked upon as foolish fanatics by thoughtful men. During the last decade a profound change has taken place with reference to Socialism. Many thousands who once rejected it with scorn are now among its staunchest supporters. News- papers, magazincs and periodicals are discussing it; rulers, statesmen and politicians are worried about it; min- isters, teachers and moralists are des- canting upon it, and every day it be- comes more apparent that a new and vital problem has presented itself. The change in the popular mind in regard to Socialism is not due solely, nor even mainly, to mental processes. The many “converts” to the Socialist philosophy may not credit their intel-V loctunl faculties alone for seeing the light, but are indebted, primarily, as a rule, to economic necessity, the growing insecurity in the means of making a livelihood as the result of the concentra- tion of capital and other changes in the economic structure of society that are rapidly transforming our boasted re- public into an industrial despotism. No greater mistake was ever made than to suppose that Socialism is a dream and that “human nature ” must be excluded before it can be realized. It is just because “human nature ” is as it is that Socialism is inevitable. Socialism is neither a dream nor a scheme, but a theory of society based upon the principles of social evolution, the trend of which is so clearly indicat- ed in the changes daily taking place before our very. eyes, that the wonder is that any man with the ordinary power of observation can fail to see that the . economic foundation of society are shap ing for a superstructure of Socialism, and that it will be Socialism because it I can be nothing else. and... «.5 .‘-..-'- an...“ ‘.‘._ .5: ‘ ' We have received this month the following well-known makes : 25 doz. pairs of the Empress shoes for Women; price $2.00 to $4.00. 300 pairs of the Slater shoes for men; price $3.50 to $5.00. 40 cases of men’s, women’s, boys’, misses’ and children’s Rubbers from the best Canadian factories. +11?

These are infallible Socialist vote, said: u Socialism is in_ signsof the coming political alignment based upon economic class interests. The capitalists will go to the Republi- can party and the workers to the Socialâ€" ist party. The Democratic party will go out of business. ' The waked-up workers of the country say it is a class struggle. The capital- ists deny it. Every day's development emphasises it. It is so clearly revealed in the packinghouse strike that only the purblind fail to see it. The capitalists are one. So are the workers. Their opposing economic interests separate them. What one gains is at the loss of the other. Upon that basis they will sooner or later meet on the political battlefield. Every defeat on economic grounds recruits the army on the political field. Trades unions take their final degree Lindsay. R.J. McLaueuLiu. J. A. Pear. G. H. HOPKINS. SOLICITOR FOR Money to loan at evitable." In a lecture recently deliv- ered the same eminent divine rudely disturbed the calm in conservative circles by saying : “ Our industries must be democratic-zed ; if different small bodies of men are to control all our do- mestic necessities, where goes our dem- ocracy? The democratising of indus- try means the distribution of wealth. The labor problem can never be solved as long as one set of men owns the tools (machinery) and another set uses them. When all those connected with one in- dustry become together owners and users, there will come the harmony and union which have been so long striven for.” The economics of Socialism are em- bodied in this revolutionary utterance.
