THE REAL INFLATlONlSTS.

The real imitation, which robs industry
prostrates enterprise, ruins commerce
and mocks liberty itself, is the imitation
of the value OF money as indicated by the
rate of interest exacted and obtained.
1t is through the rate per cent. that
the laboring masses are reduced to pow
erty and consequent slavery; that the
manufacturers, merchants and farmers
are compelled to surrender to landlords
and money lenders almost their entire
proceeds, and in many cases driven 70
insolvency, bankruptcy and irretrievable
ruin.
In the valuable work of the late Ed
ward Kellogg, chapter Sd, pages 1880,
we find the following language:
"The rate of interest fixes the value
of money. Its value is no more fixed by
the quantity or the quality of its mate
rial than the size of the bushel is fixed by
the quantity or quality o! its wood. The
rate OF interest maintained upon loans of
money. determines what proportion OF
the earnings of labor shall be paid for
the use of capital. and what proportion
shall be paid to laborers for their pro-
auctions. If interest on money be main
tanned at high rates, rents on property
will also be high. One is the payments
OF the yearly rent Of interest on the cap
ital employed, and the other in payment
of labor. Ii laborers pay to capital as
use or interest for the year their whole
surplus products, the laborers, as body
work for mere subsistence, and the
capital takes their whole surplus fearn-
ings.
The laborers receives for his years
toll, food, clothing and shelter only, and
these perhaps of the poorest kind while
the capitalists lives in luxury. increases
the Eumber of his bonds and mortgages,
OF with his income buys land or builds
houses to let, which will in succeeding
years take still greater sum from the
labOrer.
THE law OF interest, or percentage on
money, as much governs the rent or use
ofproperty, and consequently the reward
OF labor, as the law Of gravitation gov
ems the descent Of water. IT the inter-
est be too high. u few owners OF capital
will inevitably accumulate the wealth OF
production OF the many.
with the present accumulative pow
er of interest, there is no more chance Of
the laboring classes gaining their right
by combining their labor to increase pro-
duction, than there would reverse the
course of the rivers and make them run
to the top OF the mountains and pile up
| the waters on their SUBMITS. The law
OF gravitation in the latter case would
not be more sure to overpower all their
labor and Illustrate all their plans than
the present governing power OF the in>
terest on money is sure to gather up the
increased production and add it to the
wealth Of capitalists.
1.-The fault is the law which governs
the distribution Of property; and COM
binations to increase production would
no more effect any general change in the
distribution than combinations against
the law OF gravitation would effect a
change in its general governing power.
The evil is Legislative, and The rem
edy must be legislative.
