defrauded never find fault, nay, they
even defend the system that robs them,
and would cruelty those who point out
their degradation and would help them
abolish the inlquity.
4 Poor men often defend the system, be-
cause they take part in itby depositing
their surplus earnings in bank and re-
ceiving interest thereon, little thinking
that they are themselves toiling to pay
that very interest, and that but for the
infamous system of interest, profit, rent
rusury--they could get better remuner-
alton for half they now perform.
To illustrate: Suppose A keeps a
foundry, and B works for him, and out of
$40 week savesr$5, which he puts in
the savings bank OF 6 per cent. :.
A, the boss, needs funds to carry on
his business, and borrows the money, at
10 per cent, which B and the other work.
men have deposited at 6. 1t necessarily
follows, the employees of the foundryman
must pay the interest by receiving 10 per
cent less wages. If he does not take it
directly from their wages, he adds it to
the price of the goods he manufactures
and labor has got to pay it anyhow. But
further, B wants to rent a house, not
having saved money enough to buy one.
Another fellow, G, owns lot, he goes to
the bank and borrows money to build a
house, and the tenant, B, who rents it,
has got to pay his interest also. If he
rides on the street cars, or railroad or
steamship, to the bare and natural cost of
transportation the company adds a sum
sufficient to pay interest on money bor-
rowed and large dividends on watered
stock. The grocer, dry goods man and
butcher who supply him with the neces-
saries of life, exact from him profits suf-
fcient to pay interest on their indebted
ness and the indebtedness Of the manu-
facturer or slaughterer from whom they
purchase. The consumer, who is also
the producer, has to pay every tax, in
terest and profit. He has to support,
either directly or indirectly, every loafer
and thief in society, and for.this purpose
the laws, customs and government Of
society CARROT the laborer of so cents on
every dollar that he earns.
We mean exactly what we say and can
prove it, that rent, profit, interest and
taxes of every kind takes 80 cents out Of
every dollar that belongs to labor. We
hold and can prove, that one hours
work per day, paid at the rate of 20 cents,
under the social state, would yield as
much happiness and as many of the nee
essaries of life to the laborer as he can
now command working ten hours per
day for 81. Then what change would
be wrought in his condition, working six
or eight hours and receiving the full val
4 ue of his production. No king could get
/ more out of life than he, as all that
4 nature and art could produce Of use and
J benefit would be at his command.
The Labor enquirer., 1884-01-05
MONEY

The government only should issue all
money and do all banking, and money
so issued should be based on labor per-
formed. A dollar should represent 100
| minutes of time and be called labor
note. A man doing anv work would re-
ceive labor notes in pay, and. these labor
notes should be receivable at all govern
ment stores and depots, for any article
the purchaser might desire, equivalent to
the time expended in its production to
his labor note.
Under this system, when every man
would get equal pay for equal time and
service, every man could have money or
goods equal to the labor he had per-
formed, and if he had more it would be
evidence of fraud. I / r.
The money, or medium of exchange,
should be manufactured of the most con-
venient, economical and durable mate
rial to be had, and not of gold, silver, or
other scarce and valuable metal. So long
as the medium of exchange is gold and
silver, it is liable to be monopolized by a
few, who can thus enslave the many.
Under the present system, an individual
or party can control the medium OF ex'
change has virtually monopoly OF the
means of life in every department.
The issue of money should not be less
than 500 per head of the entire popula-
ton, and that amount would be sufficient
to carry on all the industries of the
country, and in the United States it
would give us, at present, circulating
medium of about $4,000, 600, 900, based on
the labor and wealth of the nation-the
best possible basis and security that can
be offered or devised. -, a|
INTEREST, UsURY,, RENT, PROFIT.
| Interest is the most infamous inven-
ton of man, the most cruel and unre.
lenting tax on labor, the cankerworm at
the root of every industry, the foe OF
every enterprise; it figures in the his.
tory of every crime and partakes of the
essence of every evil. The murderer, tie
burglar or highway robber are useful and
honorable members of society compared
with the usurer.
These outlaws take your money OF
your life at q dash and are done with it
but the interest taker is slow, crawling
and hideous vampire, that destroys all
vigor and all bloom in life.

Troy, N. Y, Special: The coachman boom has

married Miss Emma Babcock, the niece of Will

city. The marriage is still unknown to Mr..
Simmons who is out of town and it was not re-
y,,ealed to any one except the interested parties.
For years past Mr.. Simmons has treated his
niece, who Is an orphan, as q daughter, and it
was generally understood that she wouldinherit
the bulk Of his property. Bartholomew is q
not what is called handsome, would pass
for good looking when "dressed up" He had
been employed by Mr.. Simmons four months,
and says that he loved Miss Babcock before the
Morosini elopement, but did not dare tell her
SO until he had ventured one or two remarks in
jest in regard to recent events. The encour-
agement he received led him to declare his pas
sion. It was reciprocated, and they were
married by . German minister of this city last
Friday evening. Miss Babcock is a handsome
brunette, nineteen years Of age. Now that the
secret is out, Bartholomew is afraid of the
row that he says Simmons will mako when he
