Productive labor creates all there
is Of wealth and this wealth is ex-
changed by means of money which is
creature Of law. Under our none
tsry system a few control the distri-
button of money and charge enough
for it's use to absorb the lions share
of the wealth created by the many.
Hence the wealth producer grows
poor while money lenders and specu-
lators in lsbor's products amass mil
lions. This condition of affairs
admits Of but one remedy. The pro-
ducers of wealth, the great mass of
the people, whose will, legally ex-
pressed, is the law, must control the
issue and the distribution Of the
medium by which the wealth created
by their labor is exchanged.

Ex-CoNGREssMAN HANBACK, is re-
ported as saying in a recent speech,
that, had he the power, he would
stop the pension of every soldier who
has formerly been Republican and
recently voted the Peoples party
ticket. If this is true it would seem
Chat pensions are regarded as rewards
for service to the Republican party,
and not as obligations of the govern
ment for services rendered In the
army and navy of the United States.

EVEN monopolists concede chat
man has a right to life and law
Furnishes the murderer. But no man
can live if he is deprived Of place
to live. His right to a home on the
soil is just as sacred and just as we'll
founded in absolute justice as his
right to life, and yet under a govern
ment which is supposed to derive its
powers from the consent of the
governed, we permit millions to be
disinherited. We inherited conti-
nent and to day the fairest portion of
it has passed in to the hands Of land
monopolists. Comment is unneces-
sarv.
The advocate., 1891-12-16

Productive labor creates the wealth
that is exchanged by the legitimate
business classes. Both labor and
business suffer from the exactions Of
monopoly. If they we're to form
a co-psrtnership on the basis of ex-
changing service for service, no pow
er Of aggregated capital could COMPEL
either, to pay tribute. These class
es ought to become better acquainted.
The wealth producer ought to know
more Of business methods while the
business man should study labor
ethics.
The advocate., 1891-12-16

WHEN farmer competes with farmer
for a chance to sell bis products,
and when wage-worker competes with
wsRe-wOrker for an opportunity to
sell his labor, capital is king. But
when capital competes with capital to
secure the products of the soil or the
services of the wage-worker, labor
will be king. Labor will never be
freed from the tribute it now pays to
monopoly until it learns to cooper
ate.
The advocate., 1891-12-16

LABOR is the creator of capital and
yet capital assumes to dictate laws
that labor must obey. The thing
created thus assumes to be greater
than its creator. "Shall the clay say

Under this system cnly the small
cash reserves required by law are
kept in the banks. According to Che
latest figures that we have at hand
the banks of the country had in their
vaults in October, 1890, a cash re-
serve Of $475, $4,000, while they owed
their depositors the sum of $4, 1884,
100000. We thus learn that the
banks at that time had on hand a lit
tie more than enough to pay 81 in $8
of the sum which they owed their de-
positors. The difference between the
cash reserve and the amount due de-
positors, the enormous sum OF $3, 758,-
246,OOO is a purely credit currency,
with no foundstionin money whatever.
And yet this bank credit that has
been loaned to the people constitutes
the basis of the interest bearing debt
that burdens the industries of the
country, every dollar of which the
money power claims must be paid in
gold.
At an average rate Of only 6 per
cent interest, this bank credid, or
confidence money, costs the people
$685. ,424, ,76O per annum, q sum
to the earnings of 626,374
lsborers, at 81 per day. Such is the
system of bank credit which under
our monetary system takes the place
that should be filed by full legal ten
de= money. AS the basis of this
credit currency is only about one
eighth of its volume, the withdrawal
of a small portion Of the bank re-
sources must be followed by a con-
traction of the circulating medium
equal to eight times the amount of
he money withdrawn. Thus $780,
100000 withdrawn from the bank re-
'erves would be equivalent to with
lrawal of $SOO,OOO,OOO from the circu-
ating medium.
Under such a system of credit in
iation the people are kept in contin-
lsl danger of financial reverses. De-
preston to agriculture, poverty and
suffering to wage workers and
bankruptcy and ruin to legitimate
business are its legitimate fruits. Fif-
,een thousnd business failures dur
ng 1890 emphasizes the demand for

THE farmer who hangs on to his old
party affiliations is to a very great ex-
tent responsible for all the poverty
that exists among che tillers of the
soil. The producers of the food pro-
ducts Of the world ought to be the
most independent class Of people in
the world. Yet the banker, the spec
ulator in farm products, the railroad
operator and protected manufacturers
amass millions, while the farm
or comes out indebt to non-pro-
ducers at the end Of the year. r.

factors in the mechanism of exchange
and this is the most important ques-
tion which confronts the people OF
this country to-day, Every producer
OF wealth labors to create something
that can be exchanged for the pro
ducts created by the labor of others.
The transfer Of these products from
the producer to the consumer COnsti-
tutes the commerce of the world and
affects every vein, artery and fiber OF
our civilization. Every expense OF
every name and character connected
with the exchange must be paid by
the consumers, the great mass Of
whom are lsborers IN the varied
fields of industry. Hence labor is
not only the sole producer Of wealth
but is also the principal consumer,
and is therefore pre-eminently inter
ested in the machinery by which
wealth is exchanged.
According to Adam Smith, the
product of labor is its natural re-
ward, and as labor is both the pro-
ducer and the consumer, it follows as
a logical sequence that absolute JUS
tiCe would secure to labor as a pro-
Queer all that labor was required to
pay as a consumer, less an equitable
compensation for transportation, su-
perintendence, ETC., connected with
the distribution. This would secure
an abundance to every useful worker
just as long as an abundance was
produced. But under our existing
system Of exchange the producers of
wealth find themselves growing poor.
The farmers of this county, once the
owners Of the great bulk Of the
wealth Of the nation, now possess less
than 20 per cent. Of that wealth, and
yet they have been engaged in the
work Of furnishing the food for the
world. They have been engaged in
a losing business as demonstrated by
statistics. They have lost in the
exchange the wealth created by their
labor, and what they have lost consti-
tutes the major part of the vast ac-
cumulations Of wealth now in the
possession of our American plutoc-
racy.
II therefore becomes a matter Of
the first Importance that the average
citizen and voter should understand
the system by which the products of
his labor are exchanged. Money is a
legal tender for debt in which all bal
ances must be paid on the demand of
the creditor, but it is only compari-
lively small per cent. of our circulat-
ing medium. Ninety.fve per cent.
Of the business exchanges Of the
country are effected by means of
credit bearing interest. Money is
deposited in the banks by persons
having funds which they do no need
for immediate use. These deposits
are loaned by the banks to borrowers,
secured bv mortgages on property.
