WHERE OVR MONEY GOES.

The annual production of this
country is about twelve billion
dollars, of this amount, two
billion goes to support the gov
eminent, schools, churches and
organized charities; one billion
pays for our courts and prisons;
two billion flow through the
channels Of interest two
billion by Doodle and cheating
into the pockets Of the rich and
two billions ere worse than
wasted OH liquor, tobacco and
other evils. Thus two-tilirds Of
the fruits of the toiler Is lost to
the producers. This leaves but
four billion dollars for bread and
butter and clothes and shelter.
This is sixty dollars Per capita,
or three hundred dollars d year
per family of five persons. Is it
any wonder that times are hard
when labor receives less than
one dollar per day average as its
reward? It is said that thirty
