Is But a Scheme To Increase The Wealth Of Large Capitalists-- It Makes Steady Concerns Go Under. Says Hon, Frederick Robie, president of the First Nagional bank, Vortland, Me. : "In the United States, machinery is doing an awount of work day day that would require the utmost exertions of the muscles of more than a thousand millions of men," i.c., two thirds of the entire population of the whole earth. And Rev. James W. Cole, B.D., of the United States, says, * 'you wight pul the entire population of the: world n our awn far land and easily support them all.' And a writer ina late issue of Colliers Magazine, al- SO says "At the present state of ma- chinery Capacity' each man's wages wight be $2,500 a vear for a six-hour day. Why then this cry of poverty, and distress; and starvation on every side, mong 'the comparatively small popu lation, of what is known as the ivilized world to-day * For, let us be moderate, and reduce these estimates by one-half, and still the margin of wealth that might be produced is very large 'comparatively, when we consider the smallness of our population; and with greater confidence than ever we ask the 'question: Why this distress and poverty. H the machinery in the United States alone is sulicient to supply the needs of a much larger population than the whole civilized world has (to say nothing of the ma- *hinery of England, etc.) why then are those needs not supplied ? The answer to this question may be found in a statement made by Charles sates, a 'thovough business man, pre- ident of the Creamery Package Manu facturing company, of Chicago (the largest establishment of the kind in America) that "New York dons has nore than three thousand millionaires: thrice that number (9.000) are said to w in 'this country, some of whom wekoun their wealth by scores of mil lions." And the writer, before men: ioned, in Colliers 'Magazine, says one them, John D. Rockefeller is esti- tated as having 'an income of $100, 900.000 a vear, which, says this writer, he is continually 're-investing. Now it does not require a very keen insight to see that when so large a percentage of the wealth created by the population ol the United States, 24,000,000, is absorbed by 9,000 men, that, indirect lv, the purchasing power of the rest f the population is very wuch re stricted. We know our age is in the "abit of saying that these millionaires have made their millions by creating reat opportunities for the production f large, and ever larger quantities of wealth. And this, of course, is true. loubtless to some extent. Charles Mor- imer Gates, however, says to depre- iate the invettments of others, fore ing them to sell at great sacrifice, to enhance the price of gold at the ex ense of one's country and its starving noor, in order that one may be: en- vich thereby; to manipulate md deals in the market squeeze out the money 'corners' so 'as to from others' burses into your own "arc some of their methods of. making: money. Many a toiler's hard earned money has been swallowed up in these depre- Hated stocks, estates and bonds," This, of course, we can easily see id have a direct tendency to create commercial crises; putting the legi timate wealth-producing, and wealth- distributing oecupations up to be gambled for hy sharps, and sometimes, not" too. honest financing: breaking down other business men: throwing employees out of situations, ete: loss: ening, also, the wages paid by such as lo find emplovment, for when there we larger numbers competing for em- ployment the tendency is to pull down the price of wages Me know it is customary to say that wages are higher in our day than 'they were in past centuries. But dn deciding this question one must take ation three things : First, not the highest wages paid, but the average wages paid. Second, the purchasing power of And last, but not least, the ability to find steady employment Charles Mortimee Gates claims that the average wages paid in civilized countries is only fifteen cents per diem, and that in the United States alone it is somewhat less than a dollar a day, and that employe: nt is by no means continuous. And in an article in Col lier's, October 20th, 1904, it is s that the garment trades of Chi 1901, according 16 the American Journal of Sociology" for March of that year. that published the investi gations made by a graduate of the University of Chicago, that the gar ments' trades of this city pay an average Nage to the entire trade of only $76.71 per year. And they employ some 'five hundred thousand people, or about thirty per cent. of the entire population. And they paid to numbers of their employees as forty cents a week or less than seven cents a day of ten hours. And the average in one department per year was $37, the pants finishers, who were employed only twenty-seven and one-half weeks in a year, carned only $12 per year. Thus, in this way also, is the manufacturer's market in- directly restricted, in the faulty distri bution of the world's wealth us shown by the continuous ly lessening average wages which are rapidly" approaching, in some departments of industry, the vanishing points, even on this con. tinent of wealth and privilege, where John D. Rockefeller's income is ' ox timated at £100.000.008 a vear. It is surprising, in view of these facts that the instruments and means of produe- tion--the railroads, and the tele graphs, the mines. factories, ele, are in the hands of a small group of men who have established a monopoly of into consider those wages. low as the necessaries of life unrestrained save by pewspaper clamour." (Por which clamour let us be devoutly thankful, for it is perhaps one of the things that stands between us and indostrial slavory in the near future, For many of the great financiers of onr day care no more, apparently for the well-béing of the man with an few thousands of dollars than they do by. An overproduction of food or fuel, while people were starving or freezing {hv the millions for the want of those 'that springs from for the man with. a few counts.

We know how very liable to Le mis understood and misjudged is auvone who writes on these subjects How ready people are to assume that such a one is the enemy of all the well-to do business men the world, find: ing it impossible, apparently, to con ceive that one t have at heart the interests of the business wan who grows wealthy in legitimate channels of trade, as 'well as the interests of the poor min who is deprived of the "divine right to labor." But this at titude should not be so difficult of conception, if what the Rev. James W, Cole, BD. says in his * 'Footprints of Failure," bo true, ¥iz., that "ninety three per cent. of "the merchants of this @untry (U, 8.) fail or die poor." He also says that during a period of forty vears 944 ness wen out of every 8.0000 either failed or divd poor, And that [taking the United States as a whole, "not one man. in four at his death leaves 'property enough to re quire a will," and this, too, savs he, "in the richest gountry on earth.' where, he elnims, we could put the entire population of the world and casily support them all. But not only are commercial erisis brought al eut indirectly 'hy? faulty methods of dis tribution, they are very frequently brought @hout Wiréetly by the same means. As Hemty George says in Social Problems, a few vears "Do we not even now hear * * * of combinations - to "veduce production ? Coal operators - band togrther to limit their output; dron works bave shut down or are running on hali time; sugar-rofiners have agreed 10 limit their production to sixty per cent; paper wills are suspending for one, two or three days a week, ote." This is no uncommon picture of a commercial erisis. Mis taking place all over the eivilized world to-day. In October last, we had an article pub lished in this paper, stating that 150, 000 men had been thrown out of work in Chicago alone, But this is only a smull part of those thrown wut of work in the past year. A writor in Collier's Magazine, after mentioning a very large number of mills and fac tories, ete., that had reduced the wages of their employees, or were run ning on half-time, goes bn to say that according to the statement of American papers "over two million wien, in all industries have been, on this coutinent, thrown out of employ ment since last May: Which would mean, taking four ds an average fam ily, that eight million people must | live on greatly reduced' expenditure." We have all heard the ery of the starving poor of Lomdon, Englan), in which, according to a recent article in the Toronto® Globe, a good Sister of Charity who labors among them, has said that all the charitable donations so far are able to touch only the out side fringe, as it were, of the distress and misery there. But we must not suppose that the poverty in London is the only poverty in England brought about hy this commercial erisis. For as long age as October 6th an Associated Press despatch to ANY PUL A310) usm BAUS aqopt) thousand people in Manchester were on the verge of starvation," the cotton mills had closed down And it stated that 'in other lorge citiez in the United Kingdom similar conditions prevailed. We have all been somewhat horrified at the ago : hecans Tarn ing of the cotton in the aouthirn states by a few men who elaine he absolute possession of God's hounti ful harvest to the children of earth and who could find no better use to put it to, though people were in need on every hand, than to decide to burn two million bales of it in order to enhance the price of amount that remained. But after. "all how very similar ¥s the result of their deed to that of the counl of tirs who com bine to limit their oltput, and thus raise the price of codl; BF the manu facturers who combing tq Hit their manufactured products and thus raise the price of kuch articles, "though peo ple by the mill are titute for the need of such things. "We are, of course, quite willing to, grant that nine-tenths of the manufa:oirer are not able t help themselves that the combinations of causes that produce commercial crises did not be gin with them: that they are as much the victims of overproduction as are their employees who are thrown out of work by it; and that if a ready mar ket could only be found so that they could sell their goods at a remunera Henry 'George has ably shown in "So- cial Problems." that there ean be no absolute over-production while people stand in need of the things produced. things is. of « an absurdity.

We can sce at once that the price of coal would fall, This would permit a great er consumption of coal, and, in conse quence, all articles of manufacture in- to which coal entered as an item of expense, would not only be enabled to increase their production somewhat, but also to sell at a somewhat lower price. This would increase. the con: sumption of such articles, and still further stimulating production in oth er branches of jgmlustey, until in a short time an équilibrium between the price of coal and other articles of manufacture and commerce would he eatablished, Thus does trade, if left unrestricted, soon right itedlf, and production is' not only increased, but the market is widened, and there has been greater distribution and con sumption of the manufactured articles, more employment 'has been given, and industpy has been stimulated 'on 'every hand, But if, 'instead of gn increase in the production of coal, operators should hand together to Jiinit the out put, Then the equilibrium inthe frie of coal would he disturbed Th antthe way. The production in all other manufactured articles would be great er proportionately than of coal, and the price of coal, of course, would rise, Therefore, it would be necessary to lessen the manufacture of every article inte which coal entered as an item of production, and to increase the price of all such articles. The result would be to lessen the purchasing power of all consumers of stich articles, At onee the market for such articles begins to be restricted. This still farther lessens the ability of manufacturers to pro duce their usual quantities of such artielés, In consequence they run on half time, or close down altogether: and large numbers of workmeh are thrown out of employment. And being without wages, their power of purch acing is restricted, This still further veduces the manufacturer's minrket Large sums are donated bv charity td keep these hun thousands from starvation, larg which were pre viously spent on luxuries, and this and restricts commerce, busi ness men break down, and their em ph ws art thrown out of work in large numbers which still further re stricts the manufacturer's market, The result of which js we have commercial failurés on every and the and misery of hard times broods over "um side; loom the land, and people starve and frecze by the millions in the midst of plenty locked up in silent warehouses, And thi= is overproduction. --FE, JOHN.
