PRODUCTION AND CONSUMPTION.
By Member of Class A


Our text book says: 1.-THE purpose of produc-
ton is consumption; and if more is produced,
more must be consumed. Power to consume is
measured by purchasing power" Apply this
to the laboring class to-day or for the past year.
Steady employment has been denied them.
three-quarter time, or even one-half time has
not been granted. Mills factories, trades of all
kinds have either entirely shut down, or work
sOnly at indefinite periods, and then at a reduc-
ton in wages. This deprives labor of suffi-
cient income to maintain life properly. and
makes it impossible to procure the necessary
and just proportion of production that is es-
sential to its welfare, and which is direct
necessity if it is expected to perform its allotted
amount of labor. Power to consume is meas
ured by purchasing power" Labor is so hand-
capped by being thus situated, that the purchas-
ing power is limited to such degree that it
admits of no just comparison nor does it admit
of consumption of food products that it re-
quires; thus, the usual amount of consumption
in prosperous times, has been decreased to con-
form with the purchasing power' of the pres
ent time. Now if the labOrer had been able to
obtain but six months work during the past
twelve, he would consume his usual ratio of
productions during the time he had employment;
he would be unable to purchase them; such
being the case, he would be supplied by other
purchasers, through charity, and while the
quality might be the same, the quantity would
be materially leSsened. AS the power of con-
sumption sets a limit to production it is evident
that under such conditions, the food supply
must have been exceedingly limited during the
past season. But that such is not the fact, we
are we'll aware; production has been abundant,
as the low prices amply testify The press in
forms us that the production of nearly every
thing that neceSsitates labor in its formation is
largely in excess of the demand. This is be-
cause labor has not had sufficient employment,
and consequently no income with which to pur-
chase, and this. in part, accounts for its excess
or over-productiOn. The text book further
adds: There is no such thing as general over
production, for more economic goods have never
been produced than mankind really needs to
satisfy its legitimate demands" This would
doubtless be true if everyone was able to pro-
cure their proportion of the general production,
but as this has not occurred, it seems that
there is such a thing as over-production and to
my mind, there always will be until that time
arrives when labor is given continuous employ
ment, at a ratio of wages based upon the mark
ct value of the commodity produced. This will
allow each individual worker to consume his
certain proportion when the aggregate consump-
ton equals the entire production, Over-produc-
ton will not then exist.
