FOOTNOTES:
[20] In France, where pseudo-patriotism, or jingoism, runs riot, the argument that international socialism is unpatriotic is much in vogue with the hireling scribes of capitalism. Hence, this section. In this country, owing in part to its geographical isolation, but still more to the almost complete lack of a sense of international solidarity on the part of the American worker, we seldom have to meet this argument, and so I will condense and abridge this section.—Tr.
PARTNERS WANTED
The publishing house which issues this book is not owned by a capitalist nor by a group of capitalists. It is owned by a constantly growing number of working people (1,640 in February, 1907) who have each put in ten dollars.
They get no dividends; what they do get is the privilege of buying books at half price. Moreover, they make possible in this way the publication of the real books of International Socialism at prices within the reach of laborers.
Whatever profit is made on these books is used to bring out more books, but our prices are so low that this does not provide more than a small fraction of the money that is needed.
That is why we want more partners. A dollar a month for ten months will give you the privilege of buying books at special rates as soon as you have made your first payment. But by paying ten dollars at one time you can get a certain number of books free and special rates on your first order for other books.
