Should it be $55, you get the best Canadian made $5 Shoe. The same will apply to our $4,$3.50,$3, $2.50, $2, $1.50 and Sill linesâ€"in fact, down to the smallest size made.

The saving itsqu and the closing: down of industries would reduce the demand for coal. and thousands of miners would be discharged. The sav- ing,r itself and the throwng of men out; of employment and thus cutting their purchasing power so that they Onllll not buy the usual amount of farm pro‘ ducts, would cause the price of farm products to go down. The farmers ‘would have.to take lower priceslfor their products. Their own purchasing; power would thereby be reduced, so they could not purchase as much as usual from the retail stores. Still more retail stores would, therefore, 20 to the wall, and drag still more jobbers and manufacturers down with them. All of those people would be unable to meet; their loans at the banks. The banks would collapse like pricked bubbles. Thy patient strength on which they feed; All other industries would be drawu ina Thy feeble protests they ignore v to the general ruin. And we would be In haughty OWTmI‘SteTlflg Eleed- plunged into an acute industrial crisis, with millions of men out of employment and millions of women and children crying for bread. So, you see that, while saving is a good thing for an individual so long as other people do not save, it. would be a great disaster for {all the people to save. But, you say, while it is true that, in order to save the thirty million dollars per week, it would of course be necessas ry for the people to refrain from buying; that much from the retail stores, it does not necessarily follow that. they must hoard the money. They might invest it in business enterprises: How could they? They could not profitably invest it in wholesale or retail business enterprises. when the demand for goods had been out down thirty million dollars per week and stores and jobbers wore consequent- ly going to the wall. They could not profitably invest it in productive manufacturing enterprises, because,-you see, that would increase the supply when the demand had been reduced, and would make the disaster worse than over. There is no way around it. I The fact is, there is no virtue in saving. Savingr is not a virtue; it is merely a necessity, if one would escape financial worry under the present system. A system which compels people to attempt to save for old age is vicious. The people ought not to have to save, or attempt to save, for old age. They ought to be perfectly free to spend their incomes for their physical, mental. mor- al and spiritual development, without having to worry as to whether or not they are going to starve to death in their old age. Socialism will provide conditions un- der which every person will have suffin cient income to enable him to develop himself, physically, mentally, morally and spiritually. And. moreover, in con- sideration of his services during the prime of his life, Socialism will give him an old age pension. In other words, his compensation will go right; on after he gets too old to work.’ He will, therefore, be safe in using; his money to avail himself of the higher things of life. Instead of pinching and skimping, he can use his money to broaden his mind and make himself an intelligent and useful citizen. It will not be necessary for him to save for old age. It will only be necessary for him to save enough for the immediate fu- ture. And his income will be suflieiene ly large, so that it will be an easy mat- ter for him to do that without pinching. â€"-Johu ill. Work in “ What's So and What. Is n’t.” The Slave of Ignorance. Once, as in dreamy mood I strayed Along a splendid hall of art, I saw one picture on the wall That burned its import on my heart; That fixed its meaning in my soul, And stamped its impress on my mind; For in that picture I beheld The toiling millions bound and blind. The canvas held the burly form Of Hebrew Samson at the mill, Doeile and ox-like trudging round Ohedient to a master’s will. His captors mock him at his toil, And jeer his eye-balls dull and scared: Oh, where has fled the dauntless prideâ€" The god-like strength that made him . feared? Oh Samson! thou art but a type Of Labor, through the weary years Trending the ceaseless round of toil, In want and unavhiling tears; Thy masters mock thee, and despise Slave of the mills of Privilege, Scourged on by Poverty and Dread, The selfishness of ages weights The crown of thorns upon thy head; The greed of all the years has bound The fear of want about thy brow; A serf thou wort in ages past, Wealth owned thee thouâ€"1r owns Tush now! Oh. slave, by Ignorance enthralled, Uplift thy visage to the lightl The sun of Reason shines for all, Look upâ€"its beams will give thee sightl Thou bust the power to shape the world, :To make it what thou’dst have it be, There is no need of other power Than thine own will to make thce' free. Ronnnr T. ersmw. Fallacy of the Thrift Theory. No. saving would not make the pco~ ple prosperous. Saving would brin on a disastrous panic. Some people are sincerely ot the opiu- ion that the woeful condition at the people at the present time is due to im~ providence. They think the masses of the people could save money if they would. And they think it would be a good idea for them to do so. The masses of the people do not get money enough to provide a decent liv- ing by spending all of it. The average wage is about four hun- dred and thirtysevcn dollars a year. That settles that part of the question. But, if the workingmon did skimp themselves still more than they already do, and did manage thereby to save some money, their wages would be cut down just that much. ' Their saving money would be proof that they could live on less than they are living on now. Therefore their wages would be cut down. For wages, in the long run, always seek the level of subsistence, under the present sys tem. In other words, the workingmen as a whole get enough to live on and enable them to reproduce new workers. Labor is a commodity. It is bought for what it costs to produce it, namely, what it costs for the laborers to barely livo and to raise children to take their places. This is the iron law of wages. It will continue to govern wages as - long as capitalism exists. Consequently, it tho workingmen were to save money on a large scale their wages would be out down that this matter of saving. Saving. under the present system, 18 a good thing for an individual, pro- vided other people do not save. If all the people saved, it would be a bad thing for all of them. How do I figure that out? I will tell you. 0*. Girls Supersede Men.
