| 10291 | Why are we, and why are the German people, not given some definite assurance in this matter? |
| 10291 | Why do they justify imperialism to Germany? |
| 10291 | Why do they maintain a threatening ambiguity towards Germany on all these matters? |

| 27368 | But what is the reason of this? |
| 27368 | By his merit, of which the people and its representatives are very bad judges? |
| 27368 | By his merit? |
| 27368 | By what then? |
| 27368 | By whom then? |
| 27368 | Can it be that such a rule is bad in every other calling, and good only in respect of the governing of a republic?" |

| 27368 | Indeed, why should they? |
| 27368 | Is it any wonder that the spirit of licence, insubordination, and anarchy should invade everything, even the institution of the family? |

| 35572 | He wrote as the motto for his most influential book,_ What Is Property?_,"Destruam et aedificabo"( I will destroy and I will build again). |
| 35572 | How did it come about that society was so organized as to permit this wholesale wrong upon the largest and most defenseless of its classes? |
| 35572 | How is this great change to come about, and what is to be the exact organization of society under this regime of work and co- operation? |
| 35572 | How will be accomplished the supreme transformation of the capitalist régime into the collectivist or communist? |
| 35572 | II And what is the present organization of the Social Democratic Party? |
| 35572 | In 1840 he brought out his notable work,_ Qu''est- ce que la Propriété?_( What Is Property? |
| 35572 | In 1840 he brought out his notable work,_ Qu''est- ce que la Propriété?_( What Is Property? |
| 35572 | Is it a crude theory, an earnest protest, a powerful propaganda? |
| 35572 | Is it not possible to modify police administration, and the legislative conditions that profane Prussia to- day? |
| 35572 | Is it not possible, through parliamentary action, to take high tariffs and business speculations from the necks of the workingmen? |
| 35572 | Is there a rational trend in Socialism? |
| 35572 | Must there always be industrial war? |
| 35572 | One hundred years ago it was, What sort of a state shall we have? |
| 35572 | Or is it a current of human conviction so strong, so deep- flowing that it will be resistless? |
| 35572 | Or is it only a passing whim of the masses? |
| 35572 | Private property, the stronghold of the individualist, is then to be abolished and a universal communism established? |
| 35572 | Second, how long will the Labor Party hold together and prompt the action of the Liberals and Radicals in social legislation? |
| 35572 | State pensions for the support of the aged or chronically infirm? |
| 35572 | The Socialists have precipitated a serious problem in this relation of the government employee to the state: Can the state employees form a union? |
| 35572 | The abolition of all duties on tea, cocoa, coffee, currants, and other dried fruits? |
| 35572 | The admission of women to seats in the House of Commons and on borough and county councils? |
| 35572 | The appropriation of the unearned increment by the taxation and rating of ground values? |
| 35572 | The compulsory provision by every local authority of adequate hospital accommodation for all diseases and accidents? |
| 35572 | The creation of a complete system of public secondary education genuinely available to the children of the poor? |
| 35572 | The extension of the Workmen''s Compensation Act to seamen, and to all other classes of wage earners? |
| 35572 | The fixing of"an eight- hours''day"as the maximum for all public servants; and the abolition, wherever possible, of overtime? |
| 35572 | The further equalization of the rates in London? |
| 35572 | The further taxation of unearned incomes by means of a graduated and differentiated income- tax? |
| 35572 | The grant of the franchise to women on the same terms as to men? |
| 35572 | The majority of the workingmen are already in the party, where will the increase come from? |
| 35572 | The nationalization of mining rents and royalties? |
| 35572 | The payment of all members of Parliament and of Parliamentary election expenses, out of public funds? |
| 35572 | The prohibition of the industrial or wage- earning employment of children during school terms prior to the age of 14? |
| 35572 | The provision of meals, out of public funds, for necessitous children in public elementary schools? |
| 35572 | The question is now being seriously asked: Can there be a social co- operation? |
| 35572 | The real question at issue was this: Is striking an act of mutiny? |
| 35572 | The second ballot at Parliamentary and other elections? |
| 35572 | The training of teachers under public control and free from sectarian influences? |
| 35572 | Transfer of the railways to the State under the Act of 1844? |
| 35572 | Triennial Parliaments? |
| 35572 | WHY DOES SOCIALISM EXIST? |
| 35572 | What right has a capitalist to charge me eight per cent.? |
| 35572 | What shall the state do? |
| 35572 | What, then, becomes of the"surplus value,"the value over and above wages? |

| 35572 | Where is this encroachment of the state on private"rights"going to end? |
| 35572 | Who would intrust the running of a railroad to our Federal or State governments? |

| 35572 | [ 19] V Who were these revolutionary labor leaders, this small handful of plotters to whom Briand constantly alluded? |
| 35572 | [ 39] Two questions naturally arise: First, how far will this movement toward Social Democracy go? |
| 35572 | [ 4] But who is a Socialist? |
| 35572 | [ 4] What are the ideals of Socialism? |

| 815 | How comes it,said I,"that you do not put a duty upon brandy?" |
| 815 | * n How, then, can the inhabitants of the Union be called upon to contribute as largely as the inhabitants of France? |
| 815 | * p What cause can prevent the United States from having as numerous a population in time? |
| 815 | Am I then, in contradiction with myself? |
| 815 | And can you live nowhere but under your own sun? |
| 815 | And if complete equality be our fate, is it not better to be levelled by free institutions than by despotic power? |
| 815 | Are there no woods, marshes, or prairies, except where you dwell? |
| 815 | Are we to be guided by what occurs in New England or in Georgia, in Pennsylvania or in the State of Illinois? |
| 815 | At what time have we made the forfeit? |
| 815 | Besides, what could they see but a hideous and desolate wilderness, full of wilde beasts, and wilde men? |
| 815 | But can it be affirmed that the turmoil of revolution is not actually the most natural state of the South American Spaniards at the present time? |
| 815 | But if the whites and the negroes do not intermingle in the North of the Union, how should they mix in the South? |
| 815 | But what now remains of those barriers which formerly arrested the aggressions of tyranny? |

| 815 | Does not this sufficiently show how entirely all human power and greatness is in the soul of man? |
| 815 | From what cause, then, does so startling a difference arise? |
| 815 | Has such been the fate of the centuries which have preceded our own? |
| 815 | How can a populace, unaccustomed to freedom in small concerns, learn to use it temperately in great affairs? |
| 815 | How comes it, then, that the American republics prosper and maintain their position? |
| 815 | How is it possible that society should escape destruction if the moral tie be not strengthened in proportion as the political tie is relaxed? |
| 815 | I do not know whether all the Americans have a sincere faith in their religion, for who can search the human heart? |

| 815 | If so, why was not this forfeiture declared in the first treaty of peace between the United States and our beloved men? |
| 815 | In what part of human tradition can be found anything at all similar to that which is occurring under our eyes in North America? |
| 815 | In what respect is the country you inhabit better than another? |
