A FAIR DIvY.

Of the s37 900, 600 expended by the
British railways during the last year
Els, SOC, 900, or just one half, was paid for
wages and salaries alone, while the share
holders-the owners of the railways
received in dividends only 4l4, ,000, 900,
Or about 25 per rent less than their en-
Iployes are more deeply interested in the
prosperity of the railroads than those
whose money built them. Talk about
the danger to the people from railwey
monopolies. Every dollar which these
Hmonopolies' obtain is expended among
the people, large portion of whom sub
sist solely upon railway earnings. .-Rail-
way Age.
The foregoing is an exquisite sarcasm.
By emitting the figures in one-half Of
the problem, the Age would attempt to
make it readers believe that the earn
ings of railways were equitably distrib-
uted amongst stockholders and opera
tiyes, but SO thin is the deception that
anyone can readily see through it.
In the item of the British railroads,
cited by the Age, the employees have re-
ceived 25 per cent more Of the funds ex.
pended than the shareholders. This
would be. all right if the numerical
strength Of both barties was equal but
the rule is that there are about 300 em-
ployes for every shareholder. And be-
sides those are included in the list of
employees as considered by the Railway
Age, presidents, superintepd dents, mana
gers, and score Of other high officials,
either of whom receives, on an average,
six or eight times as much as the me-
chanic, laborer or trainman.
The drawing of conclusions like the
above from the aggregated statements of
railway company is an insult to the in
telligence of the readers of any paper,
and the Railway Age should apologize to
its subscribers.

railways or other huge monopolies are
conducted In the interest of the public

Learning from socialists..

-
For The Enquirer.
Friend D. NICK. Whyte. like all the
greenbackers, is not analytical enough.
/ have never yet heard a clear explana.
ton of how money system can be the
cause of industrial evil. Weget nothing
but assertions like one in Mr.. Whyte's
letter: "ButS it can be clearly shown
that the greenback theory not only en-
braces all that is claimed by Socialists,
but, as said, goes beyond it and digs
down deeper and finds not only the
victims of the competitive wage system
as such, but finds below them the power
which made the competitive wage system
possible
Well, then, let it be clearly shown
Then clearly describe the money system
that will remedy all evils and how il
will be applied, giving details. The
comparison of the decline of Roman
splendor with the contraction of currency
accompanying it, does not prove which
was the cause and which the effect. il
seems reasonable that declining nation
would require less and less currency
therefore the volume decreased. / dc
not say bad money system is without
power to cause evil; but to say it pro-
duces evils that profound minds and
common sense ascribe to land ownership
monopoly, vested rights, caste and in.
justice, is mere assertion and the con
nection cannot be proven.
The greenback party knew of no evil
but usury previous to 1880. In theil
convention at Chicago in that year,
observed what struggle it required K
make them recognize the greatest evil
land monopoly. They could describe
effects in all their variety, but the cause
was always ''usury." Since that conven'
ton they have been learning from Social
lists.
Greenback logic is illustrated by Mr.
Whyte's remark about Shutting out the
possibility of individual ownership o.
land or anything else"
Public ownership of any one thing
does not prevent private ownership ol
any other thing. If it did. the mail
system might prevent Mr.. Whyte from
owning .toothpick. The Socialistic
test of ownership is perfect, viz: What
ever is used by the whole, or by many,
shall be public property; whatever is
used solely by one person shall be pri-
vate property. Use is the only proper
test of ownership. The greenbackers
must learn to reason from cause to effect.
4 will give them Socialisticspattern;
Land monopoly is where one man
owns land on which another must live.
The owner can make terms according to
the nee .ssities of the tenant and the
density of population. The amount
claimed by the owner constantly in
creases until the tenant barely subsists ;
therefore land monopoly is cause of
misery.
If usary is the cause of land monopoly
let us have it clearly shown" if not
the greenback- theory falls. ZENo.
