In my opinion the cause* of poverty in Dm country are to a very large extent traceable to individuals themselve*.

There is no reason why in a country so vast a* oar* and to spsriely populated there should be any poverty that cannot be traced to lack of thrift, or, ia other words, to cause* which no human law oan prevent.

There are dreadful incqualitiea in the ocial system which need not be there and ought not to be there. Many are very poor wbo deserve to be better off.

Unequal distribution of the product* of labor is the chief cause of poverty at pre- sent or any other time, and the reeion wby ' is that when one man gt* what h* ha* not earned another man i* robbed. The factors in the protlt m are rum and usory. There oan be a condition Ood grant it may soon come when enterprise and labor will be identical by reaaoo of labor owning the machine of which it now form* a pan.

LABOa UtADBB H'VBn.. In a aentoooe I would answer that pov- erty ia oaosed by the unchristian and un- scientific methods of the) production and distribution of wealth. Wealth is the health of society ; it is that which is for ths good cf man. Material wealth con- sists of all material things that tend to material health. There are two grand division* nnprodnoed and produced wesllh.

There is more prodn. live power, and therefore more property to-day than ever btfure. Therefore poverty U not due to a decrease in the quantity of property. The cans* of poverty is tb* unequal and un- fair distribution of property, wbersby those wbo create it obtain little of it and these who handle it become possessed of most of it. Wbat i* the remedy T Governments! intervention, in the interest of " the general welfare," to increase the reward* of labor and decrease the accumulations of canning.

As long a* some men have more brains and more muscle than other men, poverty will rxiit. To gel rid of il we bonld have to return to that period of the world * history when man began to t merge fiom a lower form. BEOKEE CLEWH. Drink ! In one word that tells the chief oanse of poverty at the present lime in tbi* country. Of course I mean excessive drinking, tbe kind that lead* to babitoal drunkenness, and by slow degress paral- yze* a man mentally and physically. In this country, with it* msgnittcent resource* awaiting development and it* abundant opportunities in every direction to develop ability and win success, there is no excuse for poverty. But for tbe drink evil there would be no poverty to speak of. I think prohibition an interference with the liberty of the individual that i* contrary to the pirit of our republican institution*.
