From the Chicago Trbune.l
IFausinc Men for Taking Interest

An indianapolis communist writes to
one OF the newspapers that among the de-
mands OF the communists are, That man
who takes interest on money shall be
hanged by the neck till dead y; that nobody
shall be allowed to make money but the
Government; that there shall only be direct
taxation. etc This is probably correct
statement OF the case. 1t is warranted by
the resolutions adopted in New York, Bal
timore, Cincinnati. St. Louis, Louisville,
and other places where the communists
have held conventions. The only thing
omitted from the formal platforms is the
proposition to hang, but as that is about the
only way in which the communists coulu
enforce their peculiar demands, 1t 1olloWs
that the lender and borrower must both be
executed in order to stop paying, and re-
ceiving interest on property loaned.
The communists cannot stop with hanS-
ing those men alone who take interest on
money, because this is merely one form OF
business in which the same principle Is
applied in manifold other shapes. The
man who takes interest on money which
he loans is simply using the accumulation
OF past labor, OF thrift and industry, to earn
him more money. This is the economic
process in all forms OF business. 1t is an
investment OF capital for profit with risk,
like an investment in land, dry goods, 4
factory, horse, livery-stable, or any
other commercial, industrial, productive.
or transportation business. If every man
must be hanged by the neck TIL dead who
loans his spare funds for use, then any other
man who loans any form OF property for use
should likewise be hanged by the neck till
dead for money Is property. Gold or silver
are us much property as coal, cotton, or
corn. Bank-notes and legaltender notes
are also property. II Il man converts his
surplus earnings OF any kind into money he
has as much right to the use OF that property
as il it were in some other shape, or
in the original shape Of the product he
produced. II he has no right to use
it for profit, then other men who
retain their savings in other forms should
likewise suffer the penalty of death for
making profitable use OF them. II the
accumulation is in the shape Of house, the
man who owns it must suffer death il he
takes rent for its use. The communist
claims the right to move in there, and live
without money and without price. Ii the
surplus earnings are invested in horses
and carriages the owner must let them free
OF charge, and " uSuriouS" hYery-stable
keepers must be strung up to the nearest
Iamp-posts. The house-owner must lend
his house free OF rent; the manufacturer
must lend his shop and machinery free OF
compensation the p0ssessor OF capital VINO
has it IN the form OF cash must lend his mo-
ncy free or interest; the farmer must let
his farm without getting rent. They are all
engaged in the same pursuit OF charging for
the use OF their property, and oil alike must
be hanged By the neck till dead il they con-
tinuc il.

that he was present in the office when the
