| Transcript | to fusion is not Socialism." And there were those who went about saying that I had prevented fusion out of personal interest, not out of Socialist principle, seeing that Jonas, about whom clung the superstition that he was a pillar of uncompromising Socialism, was quite willing to fuse. Unnecessary to say that the Party's work in the hands of its English agitators was not thereby aided; an intensification of work became necessary. The same thing occurred when the Volkszeitung's campaign of bourgeois economics on taxation was started. Confronted by its declarations, as those of a "Socialist paper of old standing," our agitators would have been swept off the stump, and the burden of resistance would necessarily have been focused upon The People. The sword did what was natural and its bounden duty to do: it struck with redoubled force—all the stronger as it had become evident that a conspiracy was coming to a head through which the element "that has no faith in the Party" meant to save itself, i.e., its pure and simple or its bourgeois interests, by a coup de main and bagging the Party. The vigilance of the Party's administration has made certain that the conspiracy will suffer shipwreck. Ten Years Later 1889-1899. (Editorial by Daniel De Leon in The People, July 23, 1899.)

Ten years ago, the Socialist Labor Party was a "party" in name only. It is essential to a political party, first, that it be a pulsation of the national life of the country itself in which the party springs up; and, secondly, that it be politically active. That which ten years ago called itself the "Socialist Labor Party" lacked both essentials. The organization was not born of the throbbings of life in America; it was the result of political turmoils in Germany; in the quarry of American political development, it was not a formation of this soil. The organization was like gravel that one often finds upon ground of different geologic formation, shot off thither by volcanic eruptions from distant parts. As an inevitable result hereof, political activity, or anythirfg deserving the name, was excluded. The membership located mainly in New 23 |
