closed the year with a deficit, while
the average saving per individual
was 2 Al cents per day. This income
is quiteaown to the Chinese stand
ard, and much below the income OF
American millionaires, OF whom q
group consisting Of 800 Of one
per cent. of the population own as
much property as 81 per cent. Of the
population.
Not only the common laborer, bot
skilled labor itself, has been sui
ferer from the almost Siberian des-
potism Of our system. The labor
saving machine does not save labor.
A Boston daily newspaper is putting
in 30 type-setting machines, which
means the discharge Of 60 conpos-
itors. A rival newspaper is prepar-
ing to do the same, and it is within
bounds to say that no less than 200
printers in Boston will fall before
this little gatliDg-gun Of the CON-
posing-rOOm.
Boston and the West are very near
neighbors, however much they may
look over the fence and call one an
other hard names. After the failure
of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
railroad, certain families living on
the avenues Of BostOn changed to
the side streets in consequence OF
their losses others closed portion
of their mansions and discharged
servants. The placing Of II roads
into receivers bands has injured the
New England factories and swelled
the ranks of the unemployed, 10000
of whom have been burden to Bos-
ton the past winter Boston and the
West, l repeat, are neighbors, and,
in the long run, will prosper or suf-
fer together A hungry farmer in
Dakota means, in the end, tramp
in New England. The funny man
of the Boston press may ring the
changes on the tramp, and hold up
to ridicule the governor OF Kansas
for issuing his circular to the police
advising them not to arrest tramps
as Migrants, but students should not
make light eff any non-producing
class.

XOST..THE EQUILIBRIUM OF
BUSINESS.
MASON A. GREEN IN DONAHOE'S AAGA-
ZINE FOR APRIL.

the homogeneous picture OF indus
trial America.
During the past year the weather
conditions of this country have been
normal, harvests abundant, means OF
production ample, warehouses and
grain elevators well stocked, out
going ocean steamers laden with
surplus of commodities and grain,
pestilence and war retired from view,
and social functions in private pal
aces on a scale of expenditure that
would torment even the exchequer
of kings.
Projected in dismal outline upon
this background of material glory is
the figure Of million and a half OF
laborers in enforced idleness, wait
ing for something to turn up, in
homes where starvation looks in at
the window and charity at the door
small shop-keepers and manufactur-
ers failing in business farmers un-
able to pay their mortgages; COM
merce crippled by lack of conf
deuce; tramps drifting like wreck
age of a magnificent merchantmen
en- the shoals while the hanging
cloud of political discomfort FLOWS
the course of the sun from the At
lantic board to the Pacific.
To-day" wrote Governor Pen
noyer of Oregon last December" is
the first Christmas in the history OF
Oregon when more than two thirds
of it's people are without employ
ment and more than third without
sufficient means of support"
A resident tf Boston recently
rode for a whole day on a Northern
Pacific express train on which he
was the only passenger.
At an auction sale in Salem, Or,
the other day, horses brought only
$3.50, hogs 81 SO, cows So, plows
30 cents, and 80 on-and this to
satisfy mortgage debt contracted
under market conditions which, If
maintained, would have enabled the
farmer to pay his obligation from
the product of the soil.
In Seattle, WASH, the owners OF
a business block, worth $3.50, 900
three years ago, are now convinced
that it will not bring under the ham,
mer the amount of the $4,000
mortgage. Ten thousand people
have left Oregon alol since last
spring on account of the hard times,
and the labor unions are warning
their brothers of the East not to be
misled by the optimistic resolutions
of boards of trade, as times are des-
perately dull, and there is no sign
of improvement.

Neb., having exhausted us 1ands I'D
the distribution Of thousands OF
pounds Of provisions among the des-
titute, has issued an appeal to the
well-to-do containing this passage:
"If you have been doing your own
homework, or little more Of it
than You have been accustomed to,
in order to help the poor if You
have done more of your own sewing,
washing or minding the baby than
formerly, in consequence OF the hard
times, in the name Of our Lord Jesus
don't do it! You can afford to be
saving in the line of books, pictures
or new carpets for the spring house
decorations, which are so much
needed, but you cannot afford to be
saving when it comes to the hiring
of work done in the renovation Of
your homes. You need the help (;
they need the pay for it; and you
can get class of house-cleaners and
day help such as you never had be-
fore, who know how to wash win
dows without soiling the paper and
furniture, because they have done it
for themselves, and who can work
for you without humiliation, but who
could not accept your charity with
out a sting of shame, which might
take years to remove from their
thoughts"
The distress among the unem-
ployed is doubly acute in conse-
ouence of the artifcially- high mar
ket price OF certain commodities.
Bituminous coal, which is mined at
cost of less than 81 per ton, sells
tor Sc and 81 in Omaha. and an
tnracite for $13 and $l4 You can
buy in Omaha provision stores two
chickens for quarter, and they can
be cooked, as is often done by the
farmers over a fire made of % cent
corn (which costs % cents to raise
or of $l4 coal (whose cost at the
pits mouth is about 80 ceDts).
The owner of a small mine in a
Pennsylvania village has accumu-
lated competence by taking out
coal and trucking it about town for
$l.75 and 81 per ton. His cousin,
living in Massachusetts, city, paid
1915 per ton last autumn for his win
ter's supply.
The wage-worker in the mines is
not beneficiary of the coal monop'
oily. The average number of days
that the l29,O50 men employed in
the anthracite mines in the United
States worked in 1892 was 1913.
These men supported their families
for seven days upon less than four
davs' wages. Ten and Is years ago
the miners earned comparatively
handsome wages.

When you are feeling blue and dis
gusted and the burdens of life seem
greater than you can bear, let your
mind roam about little and take a
sort of a general view of this lazar-
house of woe. Here you will see man
who is being slowly consumed with con-
sumption or cancer, there an anasthe-
tized patient being cut open by the
doctors, and somewhere else grief strick-
en- parents are seated by the bedside of
dying child. Each labored breath
rends their hearts like a dagger thrust.
Give your imagination little more
scope, and million cripples troup past,
followed by vast army of hollow-eyed
beggars. Here is an asylum in which
thousand helpless imbeciles are laugh
ing and howling-there a penitentiary
where hundreds of healthy men are
shut out from the joys of the world,
Think Of the hospitals where thousands
of people burn with fever or writhe in
pain. Think of the groans and tears
and all the bitter variegated miseries
Of this world, and then ask yourself
"What am kicking about? What sor.
of chump am that, with good health
and enough to eat, have not gratitude
enough In my heart to enjoy Gods sun
light and be glad am alive?"-Ex.
