THE REFORM PARTY STJLL WORSE. ij. Because the Hoforiii Party is just as completely under the control of those who take what they do not earn As is the Liberal Party. The offensive arrogance of their use of their accidental power ifi the defence of the exploiter has never been excelled by any group of freebooters over temporarily iv cqiitrol of the offices of any State. NO WAY OF ESCAPE. C. Because the Liberal end Reform Parties have no schemo or proposal of any sort by which, cither now or at any time in the future, tho.v propose Hint the £320 pj?r year produced by the overage woifer shall .belong io those who produce, it.' Kvery measure offered by ih<»tft still leaves the worker less and the shirker more. 7. Because the Liberal and Hi , form Tatties have no scheme or proposal of aliv sort by which, through improved equipment, increased skill, W the hotter ogainsation. of the processes of production, the productive power of the proIducer.s shall be inowa'sed to the sole advantage of the producers themselves.

WHY A PARTY OF THE WORKERS. ]0 Jlt'cause no patty not controlled by the workers, : would or could do .these-tilings.

Because the Social Democratic Party is such a i party its proposals are such that only those who are will- ! iiig to earn what they get, and have intelligence enough Uo demand what they earn, will ever be tempted to join the party.
