Abstract

It is evident from all clues obtainable that in the open world there has never existed a social government. Efforts have been made to prove that mankind at various intervals and at various points, once enjoyed conditions of life based so radically upon democratic laws as to resemble those now advocated; but such examples do not bear the test of rigid investigation. Although there have existed republics and paternal governments they have been so tinged with patrician leadership on the one hand and patriarchal dictatorship on the other, as to render it impossible to compare them with the socialism now advocated, where the lowly ascend and the lordly descend, to unite on a common level. The deep aim of these great struggles of our age known as the labor movement is to acquire and to enjoy complete and lasting co-operation. This co-operation, or brotherhood of life economies is expected to be not only political but economical, changing both the government and the methods of creating and dispensing the means of life, from the competitive into the purely democratic or co-operative. A practical adoption of this mutualism by any tribe or branch of the human family has probably never yet occurred and never has such a state of things existed except among those secretly organized, of whom we propose to treat.
