Socialist Column I ft. Socialism in a Nut Shell. i. Collective ownership of the means of producing and distribitt iiiR wealth, .such ns lands, mines, factories, railroads, mail, express telegraph and telephone service; Item, water nud neat plants, etc, so that private monopoly, raft nnd extortion will be impossible, and rent, interest and profit be abolishei and all may have the full product of their labor. 2. Private ownership of wealth, such as n home, vehicles, furniture, books, pictures, etc., according to the value of one s Labor, bocial ism means the public ownership of capital, the private ownership o wealth, the public ownership of op portunitv, the private ownershlj of the products of one's labor, the public ownership of the means of life, the private ownership of llie itself. 3. Direct Legislation through the Initiative, Referendum and Im pcrative Recall, so that the peoph themselves may rule promptly as they please. Why will not our critics come directly to the point and discuss our platform instead of harping on the tilings some social ists do, or the way they talk on re Hgion, or race suicide, or ostron omy, or something else that has nothing to do with our proposed political program? Wc have no infidels in our ranks of greater note than that famous republican, Robert l. Iugcrsol, nor that much touted democrat, Thomas Jefferson. There is a publication put out by a republican which advocate the theory that the earth is a hollow sphere with the inhabitants and the sun, moon and stars on the inside of it. I low absurd some of thiv republican ideas are. I will give the book to any republican who wishes to add it to his library of republican wisdom. The only argument in reply to my puts forth lion of the of the editor explana- waMtc nud saving profit by co-operative indiiNtry that would result in the worker getting ' ten dollars cr day is that there is not sufficient money in existence. There is not money enough in existence to pay one-tenlli of the bank deposits of the country, and there is no security for any of it, and the available cash is only a of sand in the mountain of btisinetM transacted, yet the Review wor ries about doing biiNinetw on ciedil when all arc working (or Uncle Sam and he has nil the goods we want to buy.
