the world are caused by violence. Read the history of mankind from the monuments of Assyria and Egypt down to the morning's news, and you will see that it is one long record of violence-man lifting up his hand against man and nation against nation. Murder, arson, robbery-robbery, arson, murderit is the same old story over and over again. And to-day the dead and wounded lie all around us, not on the obvious battlefield only, but in city and town and hamlet. Visit the slums of New York or Chicago or London. See the poverty and crime and disease which come from overcrowding and enforced idleness and excessive labor side by sidethe necessary consequences of monopolizing by force the natural opportunities of the earth; men and women suffering from a rigid and artificial arrangement of things formed and perpetuated in the last resort by the mailed hand of society, held ever in readiness to crush the offender.

It is the old issue of fatalism and free will, the fatalist usually exerting himself to secure his ends much more strenuously than his adversary. The most complete application of this theory of economic causes to the subject of slavery has been made by an acute socialist thinker, Mr. A. M. Simons, in a series of articles in the International Socialist Review of Chicago during the year 1903. According to him the idealism of Garrison and the Abolitionists — the growing belief in the immorality of slavery and the justice of the demand for freedom, John Brown and his raid, Uncle Tom's Cabin, the battle songs of the North-all these things were phantasmagoria and the people were deceiving themselves. The real conflict was . . . between the capital that hired free labor and the capital that owned slave labor. Quoted by Mr. Simons from a former work by Be
