divjdua s who make lip society
should, in their collective capac

of production, and 'bus prevent

The first constituent element
of socialism may, therefore, be
stated to be a substitution of
collective property in the great
material instruments of produ*
tion in the place of private prop
erty shall dominate the world’s
work. The second constituent
lement is private property in in
to pit" and private property in
those goods which are used for
'he sake of enjoyment and not
for the acquisition of an income
by rent or hire to others.
Modern socialism demands col
lective management of each in
fh'stry, and it demands that all
•he indus'ries should toe associ
ated together, in order thereby
t" secure perfect system, har
mony. and unity of effort
Finally, socialism means the
distribution of income by some
common authority.—THE NEW
INTERNATIONAL CYCLOPE
DIA.
Socialism is a word having two
distinct but related meanings:
primarily it is used as the name
of a certain philosophy of histoiv
and method of interpreting and
analyzing social phenomena. In
the second place, since this phil
osophy and method have as one
of their principal conclusions
that society is evolving toward
a co-operative social stage, the
world is used to designate a co
operative social organization,
where the means for the pro
duction and distribution of wealth
are the collective property of the
working class, while the goods
which are to be consnmed be
come the private property of the
individual workers.—IN ENCY
