COMMUNIST MANIFESTO.
NOTICE BY THR CANTON BRANCH OF THE
COMMUNIST ASSOCIATION.
The following is a translation of a manifesto issued by the Canton branch of the t'ommunist Association :---
To the season on strike.
We have struck for our existence.
All right-th niking and pracalul prople- all who are not capitalists or members of the official oligarchy that backs them -eympathise with us.
We have come to a sense of our human value, and refuse to allow our Jalur t be sold like merchandise.
We demand for everyone a life with a meaning and an interest and will not be exploited by a minority, like alaves or cattle.
Therefore, we have declared war on the capitalists and have started a chus warfare
This tremendous and ben je action of ours las brought us honour, and will end in our victory.
Capital, under the present system of production. hae battened securely on the blood of the to ling masses till it has becouse bloated and inert, like a mesquite gorged with buman blood.
Therefore, it has fenced itself round with the rampart of class distine from Rutiasensibly it has been digging its own grave. Throughout the world labour is arising and recovering its rights. Nevermore will be trampled, to death by capital.
We seamen cannot fail in our just demands, but we must not grow vatPicss The tools of capital are many its spies are everywhere: ita false propaganda is skilfully pushed to lead us astray. The following four points must therefore, be carefully borne in mind:-
1. Hold out to the end.
thur Incest conditions put to the shipowners represent the minimum compatible with modern society's requirements for the existence of the individual. We must on no account yield an inch to pressure or inducement
2. lion is strength. Fore igners are apt to a ver at the spasmodic nature of Chinese effort, and at our inability to anite. The proverb says, "Muny hands make light work." Labour's strong point, that which will give it the victory in its warfare with capital, lies in its superiority in numbers. But if you do not ant as or brody, capital will not find it difficult to break you.
3. Strict preservat on of order.
Du grievance is against our enemies, the capitalists. We must be careful not to oftend these who are helping us. Our words and actions must be kept within dae units. We must scrupulously abide by enlightened methods in soliciting the help of ur friends against our enemies.
4. The importance of self-control.
There are several thousands of us in Canton, and we are deeply grateful
for the help and kindness shown to us by sympathisers.
But we must remember that the enemy's spics/are skilled in misrepre suptation. Masquerading as scamen. they deliberately do all sorts of discreditable things with The object of weakening our cohesion.

blow of such a convulsive nature.

Rally Rally and light with your eye on our banner, and we shall look forward to a glorious victory.

COFFEE.
In our endeavour to bring our coffee as near to perfection as possible, we have lately added to our machinery a special cooling fan.
This fant, by drawing coal air through the coffee immediately after roasting, has the virtue of sealing the pores of the berry and so retaining the essential oils which are the source of the delightful flavour and aroma.
We specially recommend our blend of Mocha, South American and Nairobi berries at 85 cts, per 1 lb. tin, whilst our Rare Old Mocha at $1 00 per lb is famous throughout South China.
