real friends are those who pay every

pay at the bginning of each SUBJ

yenient, when the time of receiving
it is half out; or, if any are unfortu
nate and have not the money then,

Workingmen furnish the capital
that employs them. Take, for in
stance, the coal barons capital.
They make their wage slaves wait
four and often six weeks for their
wages, while they demand spot cash
for the coal. The railroads do the
same thing. The amount of money
thus withheld from laborers is more
than the absolute capital unwatered,
used by the barons. If the wages of
oil the working people were held
thirty days it would equal all the
money in the nation.
