to obstruct the evident intent Of the in
terstste commerce law. The president
Of road running into Chicago declares
openly that his road is defying the com
mission, but the district attorney cannot
force him to confess in court to the cut
ting OF rates. Congress amended the
act by exempting railroad officials from
prosecution for any offences revealed as
witnesses in an action to enforce the in.
terstate commerce act; but q federal
judge has recently declared the amend
ment unconstitutional. Thus has the
policy OF running railroads by ex.judgee
and politics lowered the moral tone Of
two professions, impoverished the farmer
oppressed 100000 employees, and has.
tened the catastrophe Of business gen.
orally. By curious logic Of events the
economic disturbances have contributed
to widespread distrust of democratic
institutions on the part of the very men
who by their votes have permitted po-
litical democracy to ripen into q monisd
aristocrscy.
The conclusion to be drawn from the
condition Of the country is that the
equilibrium OF business has been broken.
Monopolies, through combinations Of
private capital, special franchises and in
ventiOns permit the work Of production
to 90 on without employing more than
fraction Of the people willing and able
to work. The profits 60 largely to those
who have but q remote connection with
the essential functions of production.
Over5O per cent. Of the wealth Of the
land is now in the hands Of less than
per cent. Of the population. The rising
generation, under our system of property
inheritance cannot start in life on even
terms. The principle Of free competi
tion is therefore shorn Of what virtue it
ever had. There are 100000 tenant
farmers in the United States, and 70O,-
600 Of them pay one-hslf of the gross
products of their farms in rent alone.
The total debt OF the country. public and
private, is $Sl, ,000,0O0,0OO; that is, one
half Of the wealth of the country is due,
not to half the population, but to less
than per cent. Of the population. This
open account cannot be paid; and while
the adjournment OF congress may be fol-
lowed by q revival Of trade, it is the
height Of folly to look for permanent re-
lief. Under the present system the
Of business cannot be re-
stored.
The number Of manufacturing eutab.
lishments in the United States is 253,-
852; number Of persons employed, 2,722,-
595; wages paid, s947, ,953, ,795, or about 95
cents q day. These figures are taken
from the tenth census report. A stand
ing army Of the unemployed is thus pro-
Yided. These unhappy people, together
with the distressed rural districts, are
taken out Of the purchasing classes, and
disturb business by reducing it's volume
while the population increases.
