THE CLASS STRUGGLE: PROLETARIANS VS. BOURGEOISE
Enforced Divisions of Society Which Civilization
Has Accomplished Throughout Christendom
BY J. L. JONES.
pn S Caesar divided all Gaul Into three
J parts, so the Socialists divide the
" whole human race Into three
classes or orders. No one can understand
Socialism who is not instructed in this
classification. It is a simple and conve
nient arrangement. Apples, flour and
shingles are similarly assorted; so are
the floors in a three-story building, only
In the building you number from the bot
tom up, and 'in society from the top
down.
The three classes are proletarians, bour
geoise and nobility. The proletarians are
the improvident and dependent classes,
those who work for wages, and include
the laborers and hired help in cities and
on farms": These own neither houses nor
lands. . Their possessions, if . they have
any, consist mainly of children.. From
this characteristic of proliflcation. they
get the name proletarian, which Is derived
from proles, offspring.
The names of proletarians are seldom
written on the scroll of fame, in society
columns or on assessment vrolls. They
own a very small percentage of the prop
erty of the Nation, for when a proleta
rian acquires a fortune 'he straightway
deserts his class, shuns his former un
fortunate associates and forgets the pit
-MAN'S IDEAS CHANGE UNDER NEW .CONDITIONS
BY KAMARDS.
I jpy OES t require deep intuition to
B comprehend that man's ideas,
s views and conceptions, in one
word, man's consciousness changes with
every change in the condition of his mate
rial existence, in his social relations and
in his social life?"
"What else does the history of ideas
prove than that intellectual production
changes its character in proportion as
material production is changed?"
So said Karl Marx in 1S48, and he
above i6 called by various terms, as the
materialistic conception of history, eco
nomic determinism, and Professor Selig
man, of the Columbia University, in his
book called "The Economic Interpreta
tion of History," deplores the fact that
his nomenclature Is not used so that the
apparent harshness of the other terms
may not be so repellent.
Reduced to a common illustration, it
means that how a man gets his living de
termines his actions in all his relations
IN-SHORE
BY W. S. CHAPMAN.
IT IS not surprising it is just human
that little interest' is manifested In
the proposition to rid Oregon of the
Columbia River bar handicap by building
an open sea harbor at Seaside in Clatsop
County, with a ship canal thence to the
Columbia River near Astoria. People
are slow to accept new ideas, locally ap
plied. It took Captain Eads many years to
' convince Congress that he could improve
the conditions at the mouth of the Mis
hissippii River by constructing jetties,
and army engineers had to be shown.
Many years before the first steamboat
navigated the Hudson a man proposed
to build such craft to carry , Napoleon's
army across the English Channel, but the
matter was referred to the French scien
tists and promptly turned down.
Old - time Portlanders remember how
the question of a water supply bothered
this city some 3ft or 35 years ago. when

from which he wai drawn. He forms new
associations and habits, because he can
afford to live in a higher station.
The proletarians are pre-eminently the
working class. They are always either
working or seeking work. When not
working they prowl round and hunt for
jobs, and pick up anything that is not
nailed down; so that it is usually sup
posed that the class name is derived from
the word "'prowl." This is a popular
error.
The Socialists call the proletarians wage
slaves. This Is another mistake. Labor
is not slavery to them. It is a naturai
and normal condition. It is the delight of
their lives. It is a ruling passion. To
them idleness is a calamity, rest a dreary
punishment, and ease a mortal sin. As
long as they are woiking they are all
right, no matter whether it rains or
shines. But just as soon as work stops,
mischief begins. They used to have a
frolicsome habit of tearing up pavements,
but now the pavements are fastened to
gether, so they can't get them up, and
they resent this Infringement on their
liberties by overturning streetcars and
blocking the thoroughfares with drays.
So it has come about that the greatest
problem of statecraft is not to reduce the
burdens of labor, but to increase them;
not to have less labor and more freedom,
but more labor and less freedom, in or
of life, viz.. religious, moral, political,
juridical, economic so much so that even
among blood relatives you can see and
learn without much investigation, often
times estrangement and ostracism, just
because of their economic conditions or
material existence.
There was a. time and not so far remote
when to question the divine and infallible
right of the Pope to dominate the ideas
of man as to his religious belief meant
anything but life, notwithstanding Christ
said "I am come that they might have
life, and that they might have it more
abundantly."
The power was also exercised as to the
intellectual ideas of man and many of our
colleges today are yet so circumscribed in
their endowments and teaching force that
they are nothing but centers for those of
certain economic conditions to hobnob.
And even our common schools, not
withstanding their purpose to give an
equal opportunity for the children of all
races to secure an education because of
their economic conditions many children
compelled to assist in the material ex
istence of the family or widowed mother
CANAL PROPOSED BY EX-GOVERNOR SEMPLE
the city employed a great civil engineer
to see if the Clackamas River would fur
nish a gravity system, but he reported
it would not. The old private water
company spent thousands of dollars
hunting for a clean supply and then built
their works five miles up the river and
gave the citizens Willamette water. They
said that was the only thing to do. The
people readily accepted the conclusion all
but a young civil engineer, Mr. C. B.
Talbot, a real genius, and the only father
of the Bull Run water scheme for Port
land. In 1874 or 5 I met. him one day
and he said. "Win, I've found a water
supply for Portland." "Where?"
"Bull Run Creek, a tributary coming
into the east side of Sandy River."
"What." said I. "bring that water
across two rivers?". And I waLked on,
pitying, in .my conceit and ignorance, the
man with the idea that was really to be
the greatest blessing Portland shall ever
know.
Now the people of the whole state are

der to keep the proletarians from rioting
and ripping off the bulwarks of society.
They raise the cry, "Work or bread or
blood." It is impossible to supply them
with bread enough if they are not work
ing, for they would eat all the time; so
the only peaceful remedy is to get them
back to work. If this fails, then one fac
tion is permitted to exert its activities in
kiling" the other off. This pacifies both,
and the number of applicants is reduced
so as to correspond with the supply of
work.
The bourgeoise is the middle class, and
includes farmers, small capitalists, pos
sessors of moderate fortunes, artists,
teachers, lawyers, doctors and other pro
fessionals: also the banking, insurance
and mercantile element, gentlemen on
fixed salaries or incomes, business men of
all complexions and colors, and the bet
ter paid and more prosperous employes in
all industries.
In this country the bourgeoise still in
cludes the majority of the "common peo
ple" and holds the most of the wealth.
In Europe the proletarians are more nu-,
merous, and their relative numerical pro
portion in this country is rapidly increas
ing. . This is due to causes inseparable
from the capitalist method of production
and exchange. .
The word bourgeoise is French for
burgher, which meant the inhabitant of a
burg or city a citizen. In the Roman Em
pire thescountry people were called pa
gans. Later they were called boors. In
cannot avail themselves of the opportu
nity, even though they have the privi
lege. And our common high schools, are
becoming quite uncommon in which with
their various "frat" organizations, aris
tocratic and snobbish ideas, are incul
cated just because of the economic condi
tions of those attending and the boy car
rying newspapers in the early morning
hours to earn money to pay his ex
penses to get a high school education
and the other boys engaged in various
vocations, compelled to earn their way
through high school, are handicapped in
their opportunities and are made to feel
It by their economic conditions.
I might carry this ljne of argument
through our juridical courts to show how
that the economic conditions of the par
ties coming before the judge and jury
determines its decisions, as also the po
litical, industrial and other affairs of
life, but I feel conscious that any per
son that has shown enough Interest to
peruse this article thus far is intelligent
enough to comprehend what might fur
ther be said in extension.
Now the great discovery of socialism is
that of the class struggle, and since any
facing a mighty situation. The only ob- f
stacle to the ultimate grand supremacy
of Oregon's commerce must be overcome
or circumvented. This matter of getting
ships to Portland has been worthily pur
sued for more than a half century, for
my father, the late Colonel W. W. Chap
man, together with his partners In the
early townsite of Portland, D. H. Lowns
dale and Stephen Coffin, themselves be
gan the work by removing some obstruc
tions from Swan Island bar. In 1S74 my
brother, Huston I. Chapman, applying
Captain Eads' ideas .about jetties, pro
posed the same means should do service
on the Willamette and Columbia Rivers,
and the plan which he then published and
advocated called for several small jetties
in the Willamette River and two ocean
jetties at the mouth of the Columbia
River, one on each side thereof. The
army engineers would not indorse the
scheme and it was turned down. Later
a board of United States engineers rose
to half the plan, and said one jetty at
the Columbia bar was all that was re
quired. It was built and found inade
quate, ' and the second is tacitly agreed

the application of these names is found
the most potent reason for the modern
trend towards city life, the desire to be
'citizens" to be naturalized, to be wear
ing decent clothes and walking on pave
ments. -
Most men would probably remain pa
gans forever and hunt and fish and chew
tobacco for a living if they were only let
alone. But the women are determined to
be citizens, or perish in the attempt. It
is a perfectly natural .ovement up the
social stream as salmon and suckers as
cend rivers. The cities are the human
spawning beds.
The tastes and the habits of the bour
geoise differ from those of the prole
tarians. They live in another world and
call things by different names. They
never hunt jobs. They accept positions or
appointments. They never receive wages.
Their compensation comes under the head
of salaries, fees, dividends, charges,
prices, tips, gratuities, offerings, collec
tions, contributions, profits, rents, roy
alties and all-that.
The bourgeoise practice law. medicine
and magic; they till pulpits and offices;
they profess anything that can be pro
fessed without regard to consistency or
logic. They -engage in industrial pursuits,
commercial and manufacturing enter
prises, they hold positions, discharge
duties, perform functions, execute orders,
and, in fact, they will do anything under
doctrine must have a vital truth to se
cure and hold attention and a following,
is why when a man becomes imbued
with socialism and gets the conception or
becomes class conscious in the recogni
tion of the. class struggle he has a faith,
in conjunction with that of economic de
terminism and surplus value, that opens
up to him the past as well as the future,
that makes him strong within himself
with an aspiration and hope that this life
is worth living, and makes him strong
within himself to be a militant and posi
tive force in and to society, as witness
the martyrs to the cause in the past in
all countries and thousands in Russia
today.
He furth'er learns the difference between
the teaching of the churches and social
ism is very distinct, in that the one
teaches individual righteousness and sal
vation, whereas the other at once means,
in order to secure individual salvation or
economic emancipation, he has got to get
his brother workingman of whatever race
or color to assist him. This necessarily
brings about co-operation and fraternal
ism, therefore the international character
of the movement.-
upon to be constructed as originally pro
posed, after the first has been enlarged
and extended. It has been 32 years since
the two-jetty plan was proposed, and It
will take ten years more to put- it in
operation and then it may fail in meet
ing the demand that was not thought
of in 1874 nor in 1SS4 the demand, the vital
need of some means by which the great
leviathans of modern commerce may en
ter or leave the great Columbia River
when "a big sea" is tossing up the
ocean. This is the thing that will for
ever assure the supremacy of Oregon's
commerce.
The crisis has come and the man
to conquer It. Talbot blessed Portland
with clear, pure water; Eads improved
the navigation of the great Mississippi
River; and now Eugene Semple has
named the remedy for the' dreaded
Columbia River bar. He says flam it;
and in that magnificent article which
appeared i.n The Sunday Oregonian of
October 14, he not only shows how
the thing can be done by building an

that is, they won't work.
Labor is the dead line between them and
the proletarians. They don't belong to
the working class. If there is any labor
to be done they advertise for help. They
hang out the sign of distress "Help
Wanted," and the proletarians rush to the
rescue as water flows into a hole. They
are always anxious to help other, people
but never able to help themselves.
In England only the upper crust of the
bourgeoise is classed as gentry, but in
America all bourgeoise are gentlemen,
whether plain or colored. A printer or
baker or barber is an artist, a policeman
is a dignitary, a mail cierk an official, a
peddler is a dealer in merchandise, beg
gars are licensed to present petitions or
levy contributions under many ingenious
and imposing titles. But none of them de
scend to the humiliation of work. To do
so would be to lose rank and be tnrown
down among the proletarians.
Who can blame them? I am no stickler
for the "rights of labor." Who, except
a proletarian wants to labor, anyhow?
Labor impairs the delicacy of the hands.
It stiffens and enlarges the Joints. It
destroys dignity of carriage and grace of
movement. A stigma attaches to those
that are condemned to it. Like some other
kinds of guilt, its embarrassing evidence
cannot be concealed. ,

and ideas. He becomes transformed.
The difference between a class-conscious
Socialist and a non-Socialist is
that of the difference between light
and darkness, heaven and hell. I take
the liberty to quote from a personal
letter from a man whose father's name
as an author is well known throughout
the world, and because of the princi
ples he espoused and set forth In his
books his name will be handed down
to osterity for generations to come
when those at present in the limelight
will sink into oblivion and truly be
men only of the hour. I quote the son.
"I certainly never will regret my action
in joining the Socialist party. Since
joining it I have had a spiritual peace
and mental interest that I never had be
fore, although I was always pretty
self-sufficient."
For hundreds of years has been ex
ploited the divine or infallible right of
European cities have built harbors by
constructing breakwaters in the open
sea. The matter of the canal from
Seaside to the Columbia is a trivial
thing. It might cost a million dollars.
Chicago built a back drain for its Sew
ers, and was glad that' It cost only $50,
000,000. Wideawake, determined Chi
cago! This information is to the point.
Chicago does things.
Mr. Eugene Semple formerly an Or
egon editor and later Governor of the
State of Washington is a natural en
gineer, a learned and a practical engi
neer. He saw the value of the mud
flats of Seattle years before he could
induce any other person to agree with
him. He originated and is successfully
carrying out the plan which has made
those waste sands more valuable than
the beach at Nome. And in proceeding
with this great work he has had to
procure material, so he said he would
just build a ship canal through the
mountain Oregonians would call it a
hill between Elliott Bay and Lake
Washington.- Uncle Sam was about to

says that labor was imposed on man as a

There is no right to labor. The only

The Socialist comes into the arena
to explode these arrogated sacred and

who claims that God, in his Infinite

There is only one divine right and

How It Would Eliminate the Only Problem in the
Way of Portland's Commercial Supremacy
Seattle at an estimated cost of $8,000,
000 in fact, had spent some hundreds
of thousands of dollars on actual work,
then dropped It, because Mr. Semple
was constructing a similar canal at
the south end of Seattle, mainly to get
material for tideland filling.
More than this, it is rumored that
Mr. Semple inspired, if he did not plan,
the proposal by which the Govern
ment's $S,D0O.00O Lake Washington
canal will be constructed for King
County (and Seattle), for less than
$1,000,000. Seattle does things.
The Columbia River bar is a serious
matter when one is considering Ore
gon's immense possibilities in the fields
of ocean commerce It is' a dreadful,
direful thing.
Mr. Semple comes opportunely and
says the open ocean harbor and the
canal thence to the Columbia River can
be built for $2,000,000. Nobody disputes
his published statement of facts and
conclusions The price is not much for
the great State of Oregon. The business
men of Portland in 1S92 subscribed $2,000.

Here we have the class struggle be
tween the proletarians, who insist on
work or death, and the '5ourgeois. who
disdain work and will die for liberty. It
seems as if those who want to work
might be permitted to work all tney
want to and those who don't want to
might sit on the fence, stay at their hotels
or go fishing.
But this is an impracticable theory. The
trouble is about the dividing up. The
fellows who sit on the fence want to
come in on the division for big salaries
for bossing the job or granting permission
to the other fellows to do anything.
Statesmanship has found no solution to
the problem so far. but fight it out. It is
not to my economical interest to advo
cate any other remedy. War creates lu
crative employment for historians and
undertakers, in both of which honorable
professions I may admit that I have some
small standing.

Incidentally I remember' that the con

for a place to construct a harbor of refuge
somewhere on the Oregon or Washington
coast: but they reported they could not
