Unity and Corporation TO Produce
the Necess8r ies of Life.
To the Editor of the Globe:
United man feels the nerve and brains
of 10, 900 on his side to demand, if neces-
sary, justice and equity. Single, alone, a
person is no more than worm or a straw
in world composed of such great corpora
tive powers.
The people feel but slightly the powers
of unity in producing thenecessaries of life,
they are far behind all a person would ex-
pect. In corporation of $4,000 people,
400 men can raise double the food required,
100 men can prepare and cook the food in
the best possible way, 400 men in manufac-
ture can produce double the amount of
goods common people require, and 800 pro-
fesSional men and women permanently en-
gagged TO cultivate and care for the material
mental, physical and moral welfare of
the people would make education and
culture for all ages and conditions,
and amusementS in music, song and play as
plentiful as water is in the Minneapolis
water works. United the labor of 1000
persons produces a princely living for
"a, 900 people. if 1850 give their time to
increase material wealth and prosperity,
20, 900 would be at liberty to busy them
selves with the culture and development of
the body, mind and soul, and make them
selves happy. In a world of so much toll,
struggle, hardships aud many wrongs, all
men and women should think seriously
about the ways and means TO produce the
greatest amount of life-substance with the
least labor and cost Realizing the powers
of unity, the question is how to establish
such unity for those who most need it.
Apparently the poor men and women have
nothing, can do nothing. Let US see what
we poor people can do. First
WE CAN UNITE
into unity for life; as such, 5000 persons
can claim 160 acres, or 900. 600 acres of
good land, when settled with families,
making a city of $4,000 people. Its value
is Sc per acre. or SIS, 200, 900. One years
labor of 6, 900 persons is worth 81. 500. 600,
and the worth OF 9, 900 pennyless people is
81, $780, 004. The means to establish the
city and cultivate the land, to make start
upon il, would be:
Building material. S400.OOO
Forty thousand head of stock. 100000
Horses and mplements.... 800, 600
Manufacturing appliances. .. 200,O 900
Provisions and clothing for one
year ....................... 0,000
$500 200
For this Understanding bonds can be
issued, with security on the property.
After four years cultivation of the
land and Improvements of the city
with the best means for the highest
culture of life, the city property will
be worth $4,000 per home, and the land
with improvements $40 per acre or IS, 200,
total SO, 200; the wealth of the entire unity
would be $50. 200. 600, with a debt of So
100, 900. Such are the possibilities of unity
and cooperation, but the Chinese will
rather starve in famine before they build
a railroad to transport food. How long will
it take the poor people to learn and live BY
cooperation and unity? Help your fellow
workman and thereby help yourselves.
How long will il take business men to learn
that by helping the poor people TO such an
enterprise, they create So, 100, 900 worth of
business for themselves? One million per-
sons are idle in the country. They could
work 160 such cities, increase business fol
several years, and many poor man and
woman secure permanent home with its
lifelong blessings. p. PRANrL.
