IMPROVED MACHINERY.

The People Must Own and Operate It, or II
Will Surely Own aud Operate Them.
Industry is not of the old patent or a
back number. 1t believes in the worlds
moving along all lines of progression
in all directions conducive to human
beneicence. But it does protest
against progression for the benefit of
the few and retrogression for the
many. A machine which has made
such strides in progress as to capacity
and facility as to displace 80 per cent.
of the laboring people engaged in
that branch of industry to which
it is applied without giving in
creased benefit to the 10 per cent,
is retrogression under the guise of
progression, and should be abolished.
This is not the fault, however, of
the machine or its inventor. The fault
lies in our social customs and the laws
of GU. country. We believe in all
grades and shades of progress in ma
chinery or in any other channel of in
dustry or thought. But under customs
and laws of a country which deterior-
ate rather than keep pace with the
progressive people. energy and inge-
nuity, comfort and happiness must re-
main foreign to society, and misery,
poverty, depravity and degradation
must and will follow. We need not
fly away to the New England states or
to the old world for facts to verify our
statements or illustrations to present
the point in hand.
The type-setting machines employed
in San Francisco and Oakland have dis
placed 200 energetic, deserving men,
thus creating a saving of Sc, 500 per
week to only fifteen men and the loss
of this sum to 200 men, which entails
its loss to the general trade of Oakland
and San Francisco. The influence is
not, however. confined to the above
named classes or channels of business.
The type foundry will have to succumb
to this machine because it not only
sets the type but casts it as it goes
along. Hence thousands of men must
recede from the type foundry to fall
into the line of march looking for
something else with the great army of
''elsers- who are looking for some
thing else and find it not.-Oakland

GOVERNMENT BANKS.

II We Had Them the Rate of Interest
Would Remain Uniform and Panics Ee
Impossible.
But the gold-bugs are all right and
fatter themselves in ill-concealed glee.
Some of them are openly boastful.
And the banks, who grasp at the con-
troll of the nations money, and intend
to get it on the strength of the next
campaign, they are all right. too.
Crops are good and in the NewYork
banks on Tuesday there was an ad-
vance in rates on money from to 5
per cent on call loans, and from to
per cent. on time loans. This is upon
the strength of renewed prosperity"
When panic and depression came, these
highly favored institutions and back
ers of the crusade for gold single stand
ard control declined to lend money;
threw out securities of all kinds to the
extent of millions; called thousands
of their customers and made them lose
their property and boarded money in
their Golfers until now, when it is
needed to hasten and help the restor-
alton of prosperity, they advance the
rate. They get the best of it coming
and going. Verify they are the friends
of this nation and of the struggling
people. They should have anything
they want.
As the demand for loans and the
throes of the country to recuperate be-
come stronger, the banks increase the
rate and congratulate each other that
''the money market is getting frmer."
One great Chicago authority of the
banks says that "the improved condi-
tons las to money! is looked upon by
banks as being not SO much due to a
revival of business as to demand for
money for handling the crops" A dis
patch from New York to the same au-
thority reads:
1.-THE professional character of the
market at the moment was fully
demonstrated by the movement of
prices during the day. For fortnight
past traders have been harping upol
gold exports as the only check to an
active and stronger speculation, but as
soon as itappears that the export move
ment has ended they fail to display any
of their much-talked-of faith in high
err level of values; on the contrary, they
sold moderate amounts of the leading
shares during the forenoon and with
the assistance of London succeeded in
depressing prices q to ~ below Sat
urday's closing figures"
1t will thus be seen that the char
acter of the market which controls the
peoples money is professional" This
is an old term applied to a new cause

RENT AND INTEREST,".

The Single Tax and Govsrnnsat bank,
WIN Rob Thorn of Their Power to OPP
press.
Rent on land is a tax on the source
of wealth Interest on money is q tax
on the medium of wealth. These are
tho two formidable obstacles to uni
versal prosperity. II the government
would claim. and use, such portions of
rent as are now seized and appropri-
ated by individuals as would suffice for
the necessary expense, leaving the
balance, which would be the greater
part of it, to be enjoyed by the pro-
ducers of the wealth which now goes
to pay the rent of land and interest on
money, tramps and millionaires would
become rare objects to be met with in
this country.
Labor applied to land directly or in
secondary manner produces all
wealth. That wealth would be to a
large extent entirely useless without
the means to exchange it, distribute
it and subdivide it into minute quanti-
ties, SO that it can be readily applied
to the sustenance, the comfort and en-
joyment of the human family. To eff
feet these exchanges, distributions and
subdivisions no method or medium has
ever been devised which will begin to
compare with that of money. Money
therefore is, or ought to be, regarded
as public utility, the use of which
should be free of private umbrance
in the matter of interest or rent for
its use, as land; or whatever rent is ex-
acted should be taken by the govern
ment to defray the necessary public
expense, and be equally enjoyed by
the whole community, as the expendi-
ture of taxes is presumed to be for the
benefit of all.
Government could readily command
a monopoly of these two sources OF
revenue by claiming the rent of all
land as its proper revenue, and supply
ing all money for legitimate purposes
at the bare cost of service. No user OF
money would apply to private parties
for the loan or use of money at a rate
of interest higher than the government
furnished it for, which would be NOM
inal
When government assumes its proper
functions of claiming all rent of land
as the natural fund or public use,
and raises and lowers the rent as pub
lie exigencies demand, speculation in
land in general and city corner lots
especially will cease. When gov
eminent assumes its rightful monopoly
of furnishing legal tender money
to persons engaged in business at
no more than is necessary to foot the
clerical and other incidental expenses
of the business, the mortgages resting
on the farms and homes of the indus
trious, wealth producing classes will
be lifted and their annual task-master
burden of interest money and land
rent will have vanished forever. The
landlord, the mortgage, curbstone
broker, or paper shaver and private
bank will be numbered with things
which belonged to a dark age period,
and those who sit now as spiders in
their webs waiting for flies would have
to invest the wealth acquired from the
toll of others in industrial pursuits,
and it's owners take their chances for
loss and gain in the great Industrial
army, and the two most dangerous
classes, the millionaire and tramp.
will have disappeared from the world.

A METHODIST preacher at st. Louis,
Mich, delivered a sermon on Sunday
in which he likened the Christian race
to game of baseball-the first base
being meditation, the second convic-
ton, the third repentance, and the
home plate Heaven. The church was
decorated with bats, masks, bags and
gloves and all the paraphernalia of the
national game. This is a new line OF
theological enterprise. and it entities
the Michigan clergyman to the pen
nant for sensational preaching.

A JOURNALIST.
One Newspaper Writer Who Was Born to
the Work.

One NNWspspor Writer Who Was Born to
the Work.
The multitudes of young people who
are aspiring to be journalists may gain
an idea what q ''born journalist" really
Is from the case OF NJ. Auguste Vac
querie, distinguished newspaper
man" who died recently in Paris.
1t is stated on good authority that
from the time he began writing for the
press, at the age of about twenty, to
the time of his death, ut seventy-six,
Vacquerie had published in the French
journals twenty thousand articles
signed with his name
For the greater part Of this time he
published at least one signed article
every day. These articles were Of q
high literary quality, and not only in
teresting but full Of spirit, hopefulness
and reformatory enthusiasm.
A man Of letters one day said to him:
m. Vacquerie, how can you write
every day an article full Of youth, spirit
and sense? It must DO crushing taslkr'
"Why, no." answered Vacquerie,
with surprise, sit is no task at all. On
the contrary, it is necessary for my
health. Instead of wearying me, it
rests my brain to write an article
every day."
Such q man may surely be pro-
nounced born journalist. M. Vac
querie had not only gayety and bright
ness. but an important something
which many Of our own journalists
sadly lack-a serious purpose and
sense OF responsibility. A newspaper
always fails in its duty If it permits its
desire to be Light" to render it flip
pant.

No power was conferred on congress
