TIE WAY OFT.
During lie War. during the inflation.-
that is to say. during tie years that w
Were going into bt.-!ortunes We're made
SO easily that the people left the farms
crowded TO the towns and cities. Thou
sands became spectators. traders and meI.
chants; thousands embarked in every pos
sible and conceivable scheme. They pro-
duced nothing, they simply preyed upon
labor. and dealt with imaginary values.
These men must 90 back: they must be-
come producers, and every producer is a
paying consumer. Thousands and thou
sands Of them are unable TO get back. TO
man who bcgs OF you a breakfast YOU
cannot say: WHY don't YOU get a tarm:'
You might az well say: why don't you
start a line Of steamers?" 10 him both
are impoSsibIires. They must be helped.
We shall all remember that society must
support al of its members, al Of its rob
bers. THESES and paupcrs. Every vaga-
bond and vagrant has TO be fed and clothed.
and society must support in some way all
nfits members. II can support them in
jai!s. in asyluns. in hospitals. in penten-
tiarics. but il is a very costly way. We
have 10 employ Judges TO Try them. juries |

and eonstables to arrest them. policemen

standing army 10 pat them dcwn. it ,
would be lar cheaper. probably, to support
them al some iirSt-class hotel. We must
e:t,.er support Them or help them support
themselves. They let Us go upon the one
Esisd simply to take us by the other. anI
We csn take cure of them as paupers and
or by wise craftsmanship help
them 10 be h west and useful men. OF all

that very large per cent, something over

spread its wings in their breasts. They
had different ambitions; they ,ycre remoy-

TIE CHATT-Y OF EXTRAyAGANCE.
