Bourgeois newspapers are sustained by major capital. Worker newspapers are sustained by collections from the workers themselves.

By making contributions to support one or another publication, one or another newspaper, workers clearly determine their will thereby.

The history of worker contributions to worker newspapers in Russia is therefore one of very important indicators of the will of the workers. Only completely ignorant or unscrupulous people (like the Cadets and Liquidators) can dismiss this history.

Here are the data on collective worker collections, already printed more than once and permitting verification by any literate person:

These data are taken over a large span of time. They cover the entire year 1912 and 9 months of 1913. They relate to all of Russia.[13]

What do they say? Undoubtedly, about the complete predominance among conscious workers of supporters of "Pravda," supporters of the six worker deputies, opponents of Liquidationism.

Anyone who does not recognize the decisions of this overwhelming majority is a violator of the will of the workers, a schismatic, and a disorganizer.
