There are 10,000 retail cigar stores owned by one company in the country. There are hundreds of restaurants owned by single companies. There are hundreds of grocery stores owned by single companies. There are hundreds of clothing stores owned by single companies. There are hundreds of nickle stores owned by single companies. ' There are hundreds of shoe stores owned by single companiesn 'Big companies are now putting branch stores all over the country to sell one line of goods. By this means" they buy in such immense quantities that they save a. good profit, which the little fellows can ’t get. They can make their advertising more effective. They can employ a higher degree of skill as manager. They are extending their line of stores day by day, and can do so on much less relative capi- tal than the small dealer can. Just as all the iron works, all the oil refine- ries, all the smelters, all the cement plants, all the agricultural implement, automobile, engines, boilers, electrical plants and other industries are in rap- id process of concentration, so the re- tail business is concentrating in the ownership of the gradually'decreasing few. With a small capital, you cannot enter these lines with any hope of success. The more prominent of the small merchants in the cities are going to smaller country towns, where they will stay a few years, crowding out the old-time country merchants; and then they, in turn, will have to give way to the branch stores of the great corporations, as the latter sweep along toward ultimate monopoly. In every line of human activity this alarming tendency to concentration is glaringly apparent. Where is it going to end? How long will it take to drive the mass of small men into a hole, and to confiscate their business and property? Ten years, with the present progress- ive action, will do the trick. And then what will they do? Oh, the blind, stupid, masses, that all these things are going on right before their eyes all the time, printed in every daily paper published, and still they are blind to its meaning and its effects on them and their children ! Well, noth- ing can stop it. It must go on until the middle class is practically wiped out, before we can hope that they will wake up and go into politics, and change the system that is thus run- ning to seed. All business, including farming, is going to be owned either by great corporations or by the public. In other words, it is to be private mo- nopoly for the benefit of the few, or public monopoly for the benefit of all. Which will you vote for at the next election rlâ€"â€"â€"Appeal to Reason.

REST - 12.000.00.000 DEPAR TDIEN T. A Big or Little Prison. Speaking of the Philadelphia strike, a recruiting officer of the street car. company'said, according .to the paper-sf. “ I guarantee jobs duringthe strike and after it is over.” In that one sen- tence you have the gist of the labor problem. One man controls the jobs, , and men must serve him or starve.“â€" Under Socialism no man would con- trol another man’s job. A MAJORITY of the working people might control: the jobs, as a majority everywhere has“ the power to do. But the idea of one man or a set of men having power to refuse men the right to work, or to- say how much they should have or" how long they should work, is repug- nant to every man with enough brains: to do any work. To have the power to give or withhold work is the same . as having the power to give or with- - hold bread. To pen a man up in prisâ€" on and refuse to give him anything to. - eat, is on the same principle as refusr ing him the right to work whereby he might eatâ€"and prison if he steals, which hunger would force him to do... Because a man is out in the world inâ€"~ stead of in a prison pen, makes no dif- ference in the matter of hunger. And no opportunity outside to work to get- . food, leaves the man in just the same condition that he would be on the inâ€" side of bars Without food. ' The size of ‘ the pri'sOn makes no difference. Can the workers be forever held in preju- dice against Socialism, which would make them free of any man for em-» ployment, just because some of their' leaders draw big salaries from the civic league? Vote for Socialism or starve. One or the other you will do..- -â€"-Ibid. 0+. J oking About It. A colored man was brought before" a'police judge, charged with stealing chickens. He pleaded guilty and re-- ceived sentence, when the judge asked how it was he managed to lift those chickens right under the windi of, the owner’s house, when there was a. dog loose in the yard. “It would n’t be no use, judge,” said the man, “to try to ’splain dis: thing to yo’ all. If you was to try it, you would like as not get yer hide full of shot, and get no chickens nuther., Ef yo’ want to engage in any rascali-- ty, judge, yo’ better stick to de bench, whar yO’ am familiar.”-Puck. h. History repeats itself just as often as it is safe to repeat the old game on the people. There will never be peace on earth until the masters cease robbing the workers ; no, nor good will either. siren, .....4-.t. .
