Uhattel slavery, feudalism and capitalism are three distinct social systems, and each expresses the domin- ance of its own peculiar form of proper- ty. Under chattel slavery property in human beings, slavos, was the dominant term of property, and all of the institu- tions of the time were calculated to preserve and defend it. The wealth of the chattel slave master was determin- ed by the number of slaves he owned. Under feudalism land was the domin- ant form of property and the wealth and power of the feudal lord was determined by the amount of land over which he held sway. As the workers (serfs) had to have access to the land in order to live, the more land he controlled the greater the number of wealth producers whose services he could command. Under capitalism machinery becomes the dominant form of property. The wealth and power of capitalists a re mea- sured by the machinery of production under their control. AS the workers must have acerss to the tools of produc- tion in order to live, the more machinery owned by the capitalist the larger the army of wealth producers whose servi- ces he is able to command; hence the greater his wealth and power. As under chattel slavery and feudal- ism all social institutions were calcula- ted to preserve and defend the forms of . property upon which those systems of society rested, so with present day ins- titutions under capitalism. All the ins~ titntions of our time from the state down to the ridiculously garbod and noisy Salvation Army of street beggars, are busily engaged in defending and perpet- uating the present form of property in. the machinery of production that places in the hands of its owners the power of life and death over those who do not own. No peculiarly large or active brain is required to perceive that the workers under the present system of property are cssentially"shwes in all that the term implies. Like their predecessors, the chattel slaves and feudal serfs, they are compelled to surrender their ser- vices to the masters of property, in re-' turn for which they receive, at most, but- sutlicient to insure them a narrow and meagre existence. In times of so-callcd industrial depression, thousands of them are denied the opportunty of obtaining even that miserable “ mess of pottage.” Under the preceding systems of slave- ry, the master class revellcd in all the luxury of their time, at the expense of the toil and sweat of able-bodied adult slaves or serfs. The present master class, the capitalists, have the old-ti chattel and feudal masters beaten a block, however, in pure, unadulterated .5 ddiiii @F E STABLlSHED 1835.

A large part of their 1':'\'(‘--' nne is derived front the me ciless expiri- tation of children in t ieir infamous- sweatshop hells. While the children I f chattel slaves and feudal serfs were. al- lowed the freedom of childhood, in order that they might develop into robust amt vigorous adults for the masters’ service. the children of the wage slaVcs am ground into profit in the merciless mills of capitalism, only to develop into the dwarfed, flat-chested, knock-kneed and anaemic adult specimens that swarm tho- congestcd factory districts by the thou- sand. During previous systems of slavery an occasional famine might cause thedeath of numerous slaves by starvation. Man‘s power over nature had not then reached its present stage. The power of p rodnc~- tion was then less than-now, and the means of quickly transporting supplies to points where needed Were not yet do- vcloped. in consequence of this, when any district or country was stricken by famine much suffering and even death would ensue. It is different now. The- power of wealth production has been' many times multiplied. The means of conununication and transportation have been so perfected that a shortage of supplies at any point can be immediate~ 1y made known, and the needful things speedily forwarded from other points. As a result of this, the slave no longer starves to death because of a shortage of crop or the lack of wealth produced. His only danger of starvation now lies in the very plenitude of production it- self. ’l‘ho greater the amount of weal: it produced per man per day, the more certain is he to be eventually thrown out of employment and thus be face to face with starvation. A shortage of' crops in some particular country, a vast destruction of wealth by fire, llood, was or other calamity, or a pestilence th‘~ ‘ would dccitnate'the ranks of the wag ~.~- slave army, would stiffen up the wage- market and secure to the wage-earner steady employment for at; least a time, and thus ward oil” the danger of starva- tion. Every wage slave should continuâ€" ally bcar in mind that he is threatene-zl. by starvation only by producing ton. ni'uch wealth, and not by lire, llood pes- tilence, etc. The only calamity that can threaten starvation to wage slaves in that of too prolific wealth production. Every wage slave should bear this in mind and go as slowly as possible, thus reducing the danger to a minimum. While it is not a particularly edifying sight to see the masters riding in their automobiles, their paunchcs lined on the insides with fat cupon, and covered on. the outside with purple and fine linen, while lean, hungry-looking, shabblly- clad wage slaves shamble along the sideâ€" walks, gaping like awe-struck asses at. the master's magnitieettse, upon the on» hand, and the generous display of good’ things behind the plate glass windows; upon the other, it is a solace and a. comâ€" fort to know that nothing has been made: in vain. in both master and slave the lreator (lid a good work. Each is perâ€" fect in his way ; the master as a persot‘t- iiication of arrogance, power and social. uselessness; the slave as the. embodi- ment of meekncss, docility and crass stupidity. As this is evident, according to the Creator's design, everybody ought) to be satisfied. The evident satisfaction of the slave with this ('lelightful soc-in. arrangement clearly indicates the supe~ riority of human reason over the instinct; that, we are told, determines the actions of the lower animals.- This is ofihrtzl vith no intention of either magnifying instinct or belittling reason.
