[Illustration: WEEKLY PEOPLE]
_OFFICIAL ORGAN SOCIALIST LABOR PARTY_
A revolutionary Socialist journal. Dedicated to the idea that the
emancipation of the working class must be the class-conscious work of
that class. The WEEKLY PEOPLE teaches that a political victory of the
working class is “moonshine” unless the might of the workers in the
shape of a revolutionary industrial union is behind that victory. It
teaches further that the organization of the working class can not be
accomplished by dragging the revolutionary movement into the ratholes of
anarchists and “pure and simple” physical forcists generally. The WEEKLY
PEOPLE ruthlessly exposes the scheming “pure and simple” politician as
well as the “pure and simple” physical forcist. In doing this it at the
same time imparts sound information regarding Marxian or scientific
Socialism. It is a journal which, read a few times, becomes
indispensable.
Subscription rates: One year, $2; six months, $1; three
months, .50 cents; trial subscription, 25 cents. Bundle
rates supplied on request.

PREFACE.
During the period in history that the present generation is going
through the struggle for supremacy between Capital and Labor is
occupying a more and more prominent position at the front of the stage.
Here in America the material conditions necessary for the triumph of
Labor in this struggle,—for the realization of Socialism—are by far more
ripe than in any other country.
