poverty is 10 get the cart before the
horse. IL Is the poverty induced by mo-
nopolistc eXaction that forces the people
into striving and warning. Under just
and fair system OF distribution, or such
as would take place were the monopolles
abolished, no one would be 80 pushed for
a subsistence as 10 be compelled 10 en-
gage in "A scramble with his ncighbor for
a chance TO do business or TO get work;
nor would the opportunities for engage.
mcnt be scarcer than the men TO fill
them.
Moderate competition produces just
that amount Of warfare which causes
men to refrain from becoming overbear-
ing and saucy and 10 deal courteously
honestly and honorably with their fell
lows as condition to preserving their
good will and patronage.
As TO there being too many men en-
gaged in the commercial pursuits, the
same assertion holds good with reference
10 the number engaged in farming, in the
trades and everywhere else under sys-
tenn Of mOuopollos in which the purChas-
ing power Of the people Is 30 limited they
cannot buy and consume in season the
commodities all have produced for the
season. The remedy Is to provide fair
distribution Of the results Of labor, then
there will be plenty for NIL TO do and no
over crowded pursuits.
Under the present conditions, If you
drive the stock yard employees away
from their jobs, where would you send
them to? On the road to tramp, or on
the farm to help depress the price of
corn?
Competition is not Inconsistent with
the doctrine Of the elimination of
the middle man. On the contrary it
is in accord with il, for the best way to
eliminate the middle man Is to increase
the demand for producers through in
creasing the purchasing power Of the
people e-in other words, by abolishing
the monopolles.
If the state Of California is furnishing
lbs pupils with books at a lower price
than jobbers did, it is because il has
taken the business away from an extor-
tionate book combine to which the school
book publishers belong, 1t would be IA
good thing If this combine and all other
combines were "busted, - then the parties
which belonged to them would make no
more than a reasonable profit and
what now corresponds to their stealings
would go to make the profits Of the peO-
pie reasonable.
The plants Of the field compete with
one another for the moisture Of the earth,
but as the competition is universal, and
the checks and restraints are alike be-
tween all, there is a fair distribution and
all thrive in common.

article says;
"senator Cockrel, Of Missouri, inter
posed an objectgn in the senate Friday,
TO the consideration Of Blair's Bill appro-
prlating $4,000 for a statue Of General
Stark at Manchester. Cockrel Is right.
No such bill ought TO pass. In the first

ital. In the noxt place, $4,000 is twice
the amount necessary for the purpose

A lot is to be given by the city for a

closure around tho park of an acre, or
two acres, or five acres, and then grades
