SOCIALISTS

WANT THE EARTH



Tell me whose tools you use and I'll tell you whose slave you are

As long as one class own the means by whihc another class gets its living, so long will mankind be divided into masters and slaves.

The private ownership of the means of life, gives wealth, freedom and culture to the few, and poverty, toil and ignorance to the many.

The Republican Insurgents and the Democratic Reformers vainly seek to improve the life of the slave under slavery. Their ideal is the generous highwayman, the chivalrous burglar and the modest street-walker.

Socialism seeks to destroy the source of slavery by making capital the hand-maid of labor.

THAT IS THE REAL ISSUE

Tell me whose bread you eat and I'll tell you whose song you sing
