Getting Rich In rhcIr o1lnd..

The silyerites who are dreaming Of
great wealth to lie had for everybody
through the simple process of calling 50
cents dollar should wake up long
enough to ask themselves this question:
"If dollars worth of property
means certain quantity of labor prod
ucts, would there be any more Of these
products for the men who want them IL
we say that the same amount Of proper.
y is worth $2a In other words, does an
increase in the prices of goods mean an
increased quantity Of goods?"
By the time they have thought out IN
answer to this question the victims Of
the 10 to delusion will be able to see
that. though they might legislate that
every dollars worth Of products should
be worth 100 times as much, the only
change would be in the minds of the
men who made the law. Dreams Of
great riches are mighty poor substitutes
for solid labor products.
