Labor's Tread Mill.

The principal cause of the poverty and
rags to which producers are doomed is that
she greater part of what they produce is
raked in as interest By the money power,
who are non-producers. Workingmen,
note this we'll Interest is the curse of Ia
ber. Millions of men and women are toll
ing for pittance that interest may be paid
70 money lenders, and even when nearing
the end of a life Of hard and i'll requited la
Dor, the producer finds that his offspring
are still burdsned with the principal of the
debt upon which he paid go much interest.
Interest never ceases to accumulate. In
fair weather or in foul, by night or by day,
in winter or in summer, 1t never pauses,
but ever continues robbing labor Of its pro-
duets. We are swindled by the money
power in a thousand different ways.
Everything we eat, drink and wear is
taxed by the money power. Abroad or at
home, in busy or in dull times, if we live
and labor, we are bound to pay tribute to
the money power whether we know il OF
| not.
Interest is labor's tread mill.-Year after
year, generation after generation, labor may
continue paying interest, and yet the prin
eipal of the debt will remain as large ae is
was at the beginning, and laborersswill still
be bound slaves. Interest is one of the
worst features of an inherently bad system
II is q mill which never ceases to grind.
1t was interst that produced the great
railroad strike. It is interest which pro.
duces every strike. Striks are stimulated
by suffering present or prospective. They
are the protests which scant food, ragged
children and poor homes, compel working.
men to make against the tyrsnt money
power. But down at the bottom, undre
lying this great conflict, there was and there
Is = cause. That cause is interest But fo,
the interest paid to railroad stock and bond
holders, labor would have its rights. This
high interest is part of the product OF
labor, and while it continues to be exact
ed, workingmen must necessarily receive
less than the full value OF their labor. and
buy more than just value for necessaries
How long Will this system of rebbing ant
starving labor by interest continue? Jus
as long rs our present system of financ,
continues. Until we get rid of our swind
ling financial system we can not get ou: o
the grip of the money lords. Whether W,
have in the presidential chair civil service
rsformer like Hayes, CT q cunning politici
an like Tilden, is of no consevuence in tn
world to the starving labor. Until we hav
