Needs or Worthington.

had thought l would not write
anything under this caption. It
seems to me as though the needs of
Worthington are. the needs Of the
whole country to a great extent,
but when l read the article of Mr..
McCune in the last weeks ADVANCE, /
thought I would say few. words on
the subject. s.' : 't.e ."...
. The writer cites the great pros
perity of Massachusetts and attributes
ut Ito the protective. policy Of the
government in the past. 1 shall
neither, affirm nor deny his position
in that. but will add that according
to the census of 1890, the state of
Mass ,cIiusetts had in the ten years
from 1880 to 1890 increaaed It's wealth
eleven million dollars. More than
nine of our large agricultural states
referred to have four times he popula-
ton and Twice. the wealth of Massas
chiiSetts. -, 1- :: 5,,
Now It seems to me that a policy
that tends to concentrate the wealth
of the country in a few hands and in
a very small section of the country is
not what we want. -.
No, the needs of Worthington can
best be supplied by good times in the
whole country, and I think that
would be accomplished by restoring
silver to free coinage aud making it 4
full legal tender and thus enable the
debtor to pay his debts in a dollar
worth 100 cents instead Of $50 cents
as It is nov. !
Prices of farm produce would bring
a better price and all business would
revive.
In 1919, when England adopted the
single gold standard, there were 3O0,-
COO land owners in that country.
After that policy had been in opera
ton fifty years the number Of land
owners in that country had fallen tol
$4,000, or in other words, 80 per cent,
of owners lost their land and became
tenants in fifty years Of single gold
standard. ' = !.
Like causes produce like results
everywhere. There are about twelve
million and forty thousand families
in the United States. The twelve
million own about one halt Of the
wealth of the country and the forty
thousand the other half or one family
of the, rich class own as much
wealth as three hundred families of
the poor class. Such inequality in
the distribution is bad for the country
in every way and the worst feature Of
it is that is has been chiefly broug ht
about by class legislation and Is
getting worse every year.
We ought to be independent of
ENGLAND in our finances as we'll as in
everything else, and until we are, the
query at the head of this article will
be one most often made not in this
town alone but all over the land, ex-
cept perhaps in the money centers.
