Instead Of striking against msnufac-
t rer wcu 1t not be best for them to
strike toRt Their. Their interests must
be- IDENTICAL
Transporting companies cripple the
mar ufacturers In securing materials In
d lfferent sections ard In distribu ting
the flushed article. In the West
from vine and bough and branch there
10 pour red forth q cornucopia OF plenty
but by the time it reaches the toilers in
the East It is enhanced far beyond its
original cost. Tn, n let the govern
ment regulate commerce and transporta
tion with equal privileges TO all and
speeial privileges to Done."
The bond holder sits in a fine oftict
and clips tie cupons he employs NJ
labor, but all mast pay him tribute
while the manufacturer has hts sales
mrn, caba In hand, securing the
country, seeking sales TO keep the estab
lishmsnt going, giving employment tc
labor. Then money, which Ia the great
motive power to business and labor
should be In such conditions not to be
SD beet both to expansion and contrac-
tion. At one time the bankers make
money plenty; this gives an impetus tc
business. The msu ufaciurer build:
costly additions to his establishments,
and Just about the time things are
booming the bankers begin to contract
the vo, ume OF money, and II the manu-
facturer IL not careful he will be caught
with quantity of goods on hand and
forced into bankruptcy. With all eco
nomical adjustment Of business they
Hpd they are losing money.
The cause is plain, the costly build
ing had not constructed, but the article
had. This 10 what usurers call honest
money, when II has more commodities
and labor In the dollar. One OF thret
things must be done: Stop, run at
LOGS, or reduce wages. The latter Ii
generally resOrted 70 as the better plan
The workinpman will feel bitter toward
the manufacturer, Saying they are
making as much money as ever
They should feel more bitter toward
the uEurer who has contracted the
money, making two dollars do the
work three formerly did. Its all non
sense to talk of manufacturers making
rs much money as at anytime, with
part of their machinery idle and work
ing irregularily.
/ venture to say there is idle n a.
CHI merry and places for at least seven
{ ousand men in this city; then COM
p, D re this with the whole country. VIVA
an army idle? Can they hnd employ
ment2 Yes, II manufactur rs, business
men strike together, and compel Con
gress to abolish Its pet banking system
which 1t sustains on one per cent. LIE
th ere be "free and unlimited coinsg o
al ver;" substitute Treasury notes fol
N .tional bank notes; keep the volume
uniform. Then we will hear the hun
of productive industry on every side.
Then, when the rbingmsn wantl
q job, instead of asking three or foul
men for place, three or four men will
be hunting him to work for them
Instead OF asking what they give
they will ask you what you will take
Let the government issue money ~
cheap TO the the people as 1t does to the
banks, then our manufacturers car
compete with the world. Let it loar
mont y nj suoh cheap rates to the pool
man and he can soon own bis owl
