and political institutions, the advance of science, the growth of industry, the effort to realize in the smallest degree any of the advantages of mutual aid and the ever-growing sense of solidarity, all lead unerringly to the necessary final triumph, in the life of man, of the collective ownership of the things collectively used and with equal opportunity for all men and women "to have a hand in the work" and a "voice in the management" of the things collectively owned because collectively used. You have seen that this is the glad alternative which Socialism offers for the age-long tragedy of capitalism, which in its last act must end in self-destruction. Controversies. - You 893. Social and Economic have examined the social and economic controversies between capitalists and Socialists. You have seen the capitalists using the public power of all to serve the private interests of a part. You have come to understand how the Socialists are asking that the public power of all shall be used by all and in behalf of all and only so far as shall be consistent with the liberty and welfare of all. You have studied the contentions of the economists in defense of capitalism and you are able to expose the absurdity of their assumptions and to defend your own position. You are able to show that no form of money, no theories of value, no doctrines of population, no defense of rent, interest, or profit can possibly justify the existence of capitalism. 894. Current Problems.-You have seen how the fine arts, religion and education all suffer at the hands of capitalism. You understand why both the labor unionist and the farmer must be Socialists, and how large portions of the small dealers will be brought to the side of the exploited. You have seen how Socialism alone can offer any possible solution for the problems. of the trust, municipal misrule, corrupt taxation, the rights of woman, the race question, the traffic in vice, or provide for the care of the helpless and the aged without personal humiliation and without public disgrace. 895. Organization. You understand the nature of a political party and why the reorganization of American political parties is necessary if the co-operative commonwealth is to be established. You have thought of the ways by which you may help to create and make triumphant the Socialist party. 896. Comrades: The dominion of property is nearing its end. Humanity shall no longer be subject to property. Property must become the servant of humanity. The dominant passion of the future will be shown in the struggle for the perfection of the human race. It is to this high task that the Socialist calls you. Get out your pencil. Make up the list of your neighbors whom you will try to reach. Enter at once upon this highest calling. Whatever other tasks await you make your work for Socialism the real business of your daily life. INDEX Notes.-1. The numbers in this Index refer to the sections-not to the pages. 2.
