Among this class there are not a few noble and brilliant names. The other class embraces discontented, envious, selfish, and often desperate, men, who are terribly practical in their proposed methods. Some have become discour- aged and sullen under real grievances, others are thoroughly vicious and lawless. The despotism of the few and the wretchedness of the many have produced European socialism. It has been supposed that its doctrines could never obtain in this land of freedom and plenty; but... there may be a despotism which is not political, and a discontent which does not spring from hunger. We have dis- covered that German socialism has been largely iix.- ported, has taken root, and is making a vigo>*ous growth. Let us look at it as it appears in this x^un- try. There are two parties in the United States, known as the " Socialistic Labor Party," and the " In- temational Workingmen's Association." The one is the thin, the other the thick, end of the socialistic wedge. Both seek to overthrow existing social and economic institutions; both propose a co-operative form of production and exchange, as a substitute for the existing capitalistic and competitive system ; both expect a great and bloody revolution; but they differ widely as to policy and extreme doctrines.
