What will this amount to? Ten
per cent. on forty billion dollars is
four billion dollars, and that sum is
the lowest that we can assume is
taken from the producers Of the
country by the non-producers annu-
ally.
How much does that amount to
for each family?
Well, there are in round numbers
twelve million families Of producers
in the United States, and this sum
annually taken from them by the
two hundred thousand non-pro-
ducers amounts to an average of
1888 per family.
How much does it affect you?
That is not SO hard to get at as it
might seem. The total production
of all the people is about twelve
billions a year. According to our
estimate, four billions, or one.third
of the whole, goes to the two hun
dred thousand non-producers. Then
what each producer actually gets is
two thirds Of what he produces.
SO we see that the producer who
gets 81, 900 year is really produc
ing 81, 500 a year. The other $500
is his contribution towards support
ing the mighty millionaires, who &C
but do not produce. The
producer who is getting $500 a
year.and that is little above the
average of the workingmen Of the
nation-is actually producing 5000
a year, but he has to contribute
5000 a year out of his nOne-too-
abundant earnings towards support
in luxury the non-producing two
hundred thousand. And the family
which is now getting 5000 year
there are multitudes of families
getting no more than that is really
producing $500 year, and contrib
nting 800 year to the support of
stock gamblers, railroad wreckers
and monopolist kings, while they
suffer from hunger and
cold.
We have based our calculations
IN very low estimate of the year.

Poverty Pays Tribute to Wealth.

FOVerty rays ArlOutV ~ "
From The Beacon.
People hear about the unjust dis
tribution of wealth, they see the
figures repeated over and ovel
again, but comparatively few OF
them realize just what it amounts
to.
Let us look at it a moment and
see if we can grasp the situation.
The total amount of property in
the United States is valued at sixty
billion dollars. Using round num-
bers again, forty billion dollars
worth of that property is now in
the hands of non-producers-men
whose labor is devoted NOT to add
ing to the wealth of the world, but
to gathering to themselves the
wealth which others have produced
get the "income' on this
forty billion dollars How much
does that inct me amount to?
There is popular idea that men
of great wealth which of course
the holders of this forty billions are
make but small profit on their
capital.
This is an error.
1t is true that money Gin large
sums is loaned at comparatively low
rates of interest, but this represents
but a very small part Of this forty
billions of capital.
A great many banks pay ten,
fifteen and twenty per cent. on the
capital invested. They do this, of
course, by loaning and re-loaning
their deposits.
Fine residences pay their owners
but small per cent, but the poorer
class of tenements pay from twenty
to forty per cent. Railroad stocks
pay the casual investor little or
nothing, but the big manipulators
make them pay them enormously.
The small factories pay the proprie-
tors but a small per cent. ON the in
but the big institutions
which are able to form gigantic
pay from ten to hun
dred per cent. and more on the cap
ital invested.
Taking it all through, we will
certainly be under the truth if we
accept ten per cent. as the average
annual profit made OH the forty bill
lion dollars worth of property held
by non-producers of the country.
We should probably be nearer the
truth if we put it at fifteen per
cent. !

largely consumers of the kind of

goods can pay high tariff, and still
yield a profit, how in the name of

that the Mckinley tariff, instead of

kINGEISHER NOTES.

KINGFIsHER, o. T., July 23.-[Special. ]
-Kingfisher is growing, and that beyond
persons ideas who have not visited her
lately Many new brick blocks are under
contract and in course of construction, be-
sides quite number of which the plans as
yet are not completed. A deal was closed
yesterday that secures fifteen thousand
dollar hotel on the corner east of the post
office A party from Tennessee will build
the hotel. 1t is rumored that there is au-
other big hotel gong up in the south part
of the CITY, The people of this growing
town are aware of the fact that nothing
else helps to advertise town so much as
good hotels, and they are after them.
William Faucet, who secured the
quarter section the land Office is on, is
making some good improvements on his
part of the town. Captain Admire is ex-
cavating for new building just north of
the land office. Mr.. Faucet has erected
a large galvanized iron building. The
Bank of Kingfsher people are erecting one
of the most handsome buildings in Okla
homa. 1t is of pressed brick with stone
trimmings
David Badger, the big hardware man,
has built himself an elegant 5000 resi-
dence, and his example is being followed
by many others, only not on quite so ex-
tensive scale.
The class of improvements that is going
on in kingfisher is conclusive evidence
that the people are here TO stay, and the
big houses of the east are beginning to find
it out, and are sending their representa-
tives.
Oklahoma can buy and pay cash for her
share of all kinds or merchandise this year.

and also to scatter broadcast pamphlets
bearing on the strike, aud appealing to the
men to take advantage OF the time and or
ganize, 1t is TO be dinned into the ears OF
the coke workers that the militia is now
at Homestead, and that they need fear no
repetition OF the Loir incident.
A darker and more threatening story Is
in circulation, which causes some adverse
comment. though denied by the advisory
committee The crews of several freight
trains over the MonongaheIa division of
the Pistshurg, McKeesport and Youghio-
warmed by parties unknown that if they
yards they would be shot The engineers
have been requested to furnish descriptions
of the men uttering the threats, and
prompt arrests will be made. There IS
more activity about the works today,
and the workers say that they notice many
strange faces.
Tue chief danger of q PHYSICAL force col
lision in Homestead is momentarily eX-
pected to follow on the release of Hugh
O'Donnell and his return home. If that
should take place, in the event OF bail be-
ing accepted for him by the court, his
friends here have determined TO give him
a rousing reception home. Provost Mar
shall Greene said that the sheriff had de-
cided to prevent any public assembly of
the kind, and his clearly stated declara-
ton made today directed that parade
would be stopped. The steel workers, on
the other hand, said that The proposed pro-
hibition was Illegal and that they would
net submit.

HE ARBITRATION LAW.

PITTSBURG, Pa, July 23.-There was no
change in the situation at the city mills of
the Carnegie Steel company today. Every
thing was quiet. 1t is stated that the at
torneys of the Amalgamated association
will file petition. asking that the pres
ent trouole between the former workmen
at Homestead and the company be settled
by a board of arbitration, to be appointed
by the court, under what is known as the
voluntary arbitration act of 1888. The
company officials say that arbitration
must be requested by both sides, which
has not been done. Besides the names of
the strikers have been stricken from the
pay rolls, and they are no longer en-
pioyed The steamer Tide took forty five
non union men to Homestead today, and
will leave again this afternoon with fifty
more These men arrived today from Gin
cinnati, Louisville and st. Louis. Cap
tain Clark says that new men are coming
in on every train. It's claim that several
hundred men are now at work, and that
four heats were made in the mills this
morning
PITTSBORG, Pa, July 23-There was
nothing new in the general situation to-
night. Affairs at Homestead, Duquesne
and Beaver Falls and the Union mills in
this city are quiet
The steamer Tide took up another lot of
non-union men to Homestead this after
noon. They are ali safe in the works.
About 500 men are now said to be at work.
