Excerpt from The Object of the Labor Movement, Vol. 1

Here, no one who has eyes for the reality can fail to recognize the comparatively small class of capitalists, mighty by reason of their possessions; and face to face with it, separated by diametrically opposed interests, by a gulf that can neither be bridged over nor filled up with specious phrases of harmony, the Laboring Class.

Rese�a del editor

Excerpt from The Object of the Labor Movement, Vol. 1

The speech herewith placed before the workers of America is the noteworthy utterance of the Konigsberg physician and noble friend of the working class, Dr. Johann Jakoby, a democrat in the best sense of the word, a warm advocate of the enlightenment of the people and of the improvement of their condition. Johann Jakoby, following the democratic thought to its logical conclusion, perceived that the bearer of the democratic idea in our day is the modern social democracy, and he the most eminent of his party, was the first to join the young Socialist Labor Party.

In America the old Jefferson democracy perished long ago, and with it, as with the democracy of Jakoby, the "democratic" party of to-day has its name alone in common, as may best be seen from the phases of "development" through which the "democratic" party has passed, the last stage included. The "democratic" party, after being the pro-slavery party, passed through a phase in which it differed from its "republican" rival only in representing Free Trade as opposed to Protection. Then, the Tariff question, ceasing to serve as an issue, and the old parties only surviving to divide the spoils (to the shame not alone of the "democratic" party, be it said), a presidential election became possible which turned not upon party platforms, but upon the relative decency of two candidates.
