Mammon is King.

Whether Freedom still lives in our borders
so wide,

While Plenty and Peace with the people

Cruel Mammon is king in this land that we

world as man has made it! In the
world as God has made it there is
plenty for all; in heworld as man
has made it, there is starvation in
the midst of this Astounding plenty!
The farmers have more eatab]es
of all kinds than they can sell; corn
used as fuel: fruits and vegetables
rotting in every orchard and
garden in the land. The mills have
more clothing than they can sell
and are shutting down; the miners
have more coal than they can sell
and are not working full time. The
railroads have empty cars, ships
lie idle at the wharves. Advertise
for men of any profession or bust
ness, and you will have the side
walks blockaded with applicants.
Plenty to eat, plenty to drink, and
plenty to wear, and men standing
idle in the markets all the day long!
Our Industrial system today is
on trial before a jury composed of
suffering humanity. If it is to be
justified, and if it can be justified, it
must feed the hungry, clothe the
naked, and give drink to the thirsty.
If our Industrial System can do
this, it will stand to judgment day!
But if It cannot at least do this
much, the sooner it's Judgment
Day comes the better for deluded
and suffering humanity!
The fault is not with nature
there is plenty for all. The fault is
not with the people-they want
work but can't get it. The fault is
with our infamous laws and bar
barrie Industrial system, that have
concentrated the wealth of this
country into the hands of few
and given these few the right to
say who shall work and who shall
not work; when they shall work and
when they shall not work; how
much they shall get and how
much they shall not get. We live
in a country whose prosperity or
starvation depends upon the will of
a few money barons! There are in
the United States men whom |
could count on my ten fingers, who
have the power to stop every car
from rolling on our railroads, and
ever spindle in our factories. The
coal bar0ns alone can do it! And
still we are foolish enough to think
we are living in a free country
where the people rule!
The effect of the concentration of

it tear the pangs of hunger, so long
as wheat is cheaper than corn, and
corn il such abundance on the
pra;rics of the West that it is cheap
er fuel than coal.
The miners are working on short
time, because more coal is being
produced than the people need.
Still many people must suffer from
cold, because they cannot get any
work to earn money to pay for coal
with.
The cotton mills are shutting
down, because more clothes are be-
ing made than the people need, and
still a large per centage of the peo-
pie are half clothed or in rags be-
cause they are denied the chance to
earn money to pay for clothes.
And so it is with every trade and
business; all of them are producing
more than they can sell; the farm
ers more wheat and cotton; the
miners more coal; the mills more
clothing; and so on to the end of
the long list.
One would at first think we need
more people to sell to. An increase
in population would furnish the
necessary market for this over~plus.
So there are too few people in the
world. So they argue when they
want to sell. But when a man
tries to get employment of any
kind, don't care what it is, he has
the utmost difficulty in getting it.
lie is told that there are too
many people in the world. When
manufacturer wishes to sell his
goods, there are too few people III
the world. When a man wishes to
sell his labor, there are too many
people in the world. Too many and
too few people in the world at the
same time! What an absurdity.
An over-production of every ar
ticle of necessity and still hunger
and cold and nakedness-is the
world as man has made it! The
few reveling in luxury, a larger few
in easy circumstances, the mass
with the wolf in bowling distance
of the door, and the submerged
tenth who can get work neither by
entreaties nor prayers, must beg or
steal or starve-this is the world as
man has made it! The agriculture
ists' farms being steadily mort
gagged, the workingmen's wages be-
ing steadily cut, while millionaires
are steadily increasing,-is the
