From the World OF Thought and the
Field OF Action.
The Arizona Populist says: The
freight rate on wall paper from New
York to San Francisco in carloads is
60 cents per hundred pounds. From
same point to Phenix, 1886 per hun
dred. The freight rate on letter from
New York to San Francisco is cents.
From same point to Phoenix is 2 cents.
One Is under system Of private owner
ship, the other under public ownership.
The man who is able to ship in car
loads does it for 400 per cent less than
the poor devil who Is not able to do 80.
But the man who buys a million postage
stamps pays the same rate as the poor
devil who buys one. Awful thing, this
public ownership.
Carllsle's recent speech at Boston
may serve one good purpose. He shows
clearly the administration policy, SO
that the people may not be mistaken as
to the real position Of the money power
as represented by the leaders Of the
two old parties, They are for gold
monometallism, without the use Of
either greenbacks or silver, all other
currency except gold to be issued by
the banks only. He says gold can only
be obtained by the sale of bonds, still
he wants the greenback destroyed,
which would increase the demand for
gold and make it difficult for the gov
eminent to buy gold even with bonds.
The rate Of interest would be increased,
as Carlisle sadly deplores the fact that
interest rates are lower than ever be-
fore"-and Of course "idle capital"
would have an opportunity for profit
able investment" in the bonds which
it would be necessary for the govern
ment to issue in order to retire the
greenbacks. It must be remembered
that Carlisle is an authorized mouth
piece Of the administration, and that
the administration is the duly recog-
nized American agent Of the Roths-
childs-and whatever Carlisle says goes.
The New York World, whose real
position on any important question is
unknown, since 1t has been everything
by turns and nothing long, says: "The
worst sign Of the times is the grip the
monopoiists are getting on the press
especially in this nelghborhood.
When a man like Prof. Bemis is de-
nounced as an anarchist, 1t becomes al
most dangerous to call for the obserV-
ance Of the ten commandments" The
World in its policy Of being all things
to all men says a little on both sides Of
this question, as we'll as others-but
sometimes tells the truth accidentally,
as 1t does in this case.
Calvin s. Brlce, millionaire senator
from Ohio who was poor boy and
who had to hustle hard, to get start
in business, tells how 1t makes boy
who was born poor feel to handle and
control millions:
There is no difference between
handling millions and handling cents.
It takes no more exercise Of brain pow
er to do great things than to do little
ones. exercised Just as much thought
on my small operations as do now on
my large ones, and 1t was fully as hard
to succeed with the little as the big.
It is much like driving horse. You
may drive one worth 500 or one worth
$780, 900. It makes no more muscle nor
care to drive one than the other"
And here the capitalistic press has
been telling US poor clodhoppers, that
It requires brains to become a million
aire. Guess they mean gall.
