splendid build lues and historic museums of this bead ticul city occupied oar time yesterday we had made toe asor emperors palace th object iye point of the daya work and after that pleasant walk which inter len linden affords w found ourselves standing between the delace and the picture gallery aa f for conr accommodation the guards swung the huge iron doors open and his highness the emperor appeared he was accompanied by fire men all on horse back he wore a white cap blue jacket while pants and high boots and smoked a cigarette his horse was trim calm and somewhat ordinary and his baudle of the jockey type When ha approached within a few yards of us we raised our hats to him which he acknowledged by touching his cap he was practically without guards which I 1 mentioned to an intelligent guest at the hotel in of the position the emperor occupies and the fevered conditions of the borkine classes throughout europea Euro peI expressed a wonder at the kaiser going unguarded through the streets since an attempt had recently been made on his lif aud in as much as aliea are constancy being arrested throughout that my friend was a member of that faction known as social democracy ten bared to follow the advice of prof brimhall to jaako every nan pay you i in information for the time you spend i with him about bow strong are you as a party in Serm auy 1 queried 1 that can no raan answer because many belong to the party but do not make it the last census I 1 think was something like one and a half millions la there anything in bour party to be ashamed ol 01 that come refuse to pub licay identify themselves with the bame no not that but many now engaged as laborers by the separate would be in danger of losing their eions 1 I would infer then that you are opposed to kingdoms and empires most decidedly wo want a republic in which one man is is good as another and in which it is possible tor the child of the humblest parentage to become president if the people baut him what would you consider an ideal government one in which an honorable ballot would place every officer in hia seat and in which monopoly ia strictly for bidden how would you effect such and end by doing way with banks and alaci ing every manufactory railroad mine mercantile business etc in the hands of the republic in fact every dollar of profit gained actual labor should go into the government treasey to take the place of taxation then the BUP plus money now going to fatten the rich and oppress the poor would have a tendency to level up af airs that would also do away with a middle clasa of people who are without worth to the earth and ony aliye from an unjust percent aare taken from the producer before the products reach the consumer would you grant that anarchy is a child of social democracy 7 yes that usi be conceded but we claim that it is a disobedient child we believe in accomplishing oar ends through the laws and the ballot boxa and bome unwise impatient beings with perhaps the same end in view have boet loet likht of all prosperity and gone recklessly at work through such means aa dynamite we with such and believe they should be fc topped inasmuch as you grant that anarchy are your children dont you think the power to check their depredations lies with your party on the principles that an bunca of prevention is worth a pound of cure no I 1 think the same condition of affairs that makes it necessary for as 0 o work viz the deplorable condition of the lit borine claaska of today won d krompl certain unwise dpn to brow bomb if our party did not exist perhaps many of them now get their education through social democracy as regards t ie end to be accomplished they most certainly attend another school to be trained in the means they employ to ace that end la your ideal government would all dpn receive the same compensation for their labor from the fact that they were fellow creatures or would you reward marii we would reward merit but no man should receive lees than ia necessary for bis fam ilys sustenance what you do with the sur plus riches of people it would be to feed the poor clothe the naked and nurse the sick would you accomplish that through force or is it your aim to educate the people to that condition condi ion in which they would willingly contribute their surplus for the support of the poor 1 we aree that the latter art of affairs boull insure a safer condition of society but from all appearances that cannot ba reached perhaps in all cases and individually I 1 would not hesitate to make a email minority succumb to the wishes of the majority mao rity for the general welfare of society remais you get your idea ot this common fund and charity from the order of enoch pa described in sacred wair generally we do not look upon ahn bible as sacred with us re ligion ia free though we believe that there is more superstition thac falvae tion about it certainly we differ as to religious belief but ad a party we make no pretensions and seldom mention a creator may I 1 venture to ask if yoi beldare i that beaus coriat waa the savior of the world 1 I would not assume to auener that for my party in aa much aa it is merely an opinion amon its members and not a principle ot the democracy but I 1 feel safe in saying that most of thorn deny the atory of adam and aeve and thus kill the necessity of a savior if we do cot believe in a fait we certainly cannot believe in a redemption and not believing in a redemption low can we believe in a redeemer according to the slow progress you are now making do you expect the present generations to reao any from your labor not to any very great extent then what stimulates you to wore only that the condition of society and the welfare of the human family may be improved do many bawa belong to social democracy yes a great many what is your position in regard to woman suffrage we believe the woman are eafe beings in whose hands to place franchise and in our ideal government they should certainly carta vote viewing tine doms and monarchies as you do in your opinion would the members of your party be as loyal to the native land iu case of war as they were in 1879 1 fear they would not feht for their country with the same vim though they would perhaps not cause any open rupture we feel that government now fosters monopoly honors riches taxes the poor ana fails in ita duty to protect and provide for its children and as a natural coosey beuce we are not in full sympathy with it how much of a standing army do you advocate in time of deaca we would have none at all and in aimeb of war every citizen should ba a soldier are your public meetings eyer molested by the police certainly Carta not I 1 would not have you think that we advocate any thing disloyal at times some ot the stumpers whose private feelings and personal prejudices have them to drift from tho platform of principles have given ns more or less troubles on the same principle
