What Of the Future2

May 26, furnishes food for thought,
and a careful reading Of It ought to
have the effect of causing one to in
Vestlgate carefully as to the causes for
the present depression In the business
world. Because one cannot believe
there is any reasonable ground for
hope in general rise of prices is not
sufficient reason why one should sub
NIT and with the fatslist exclaim,
Whatever is, is right.
On the contrary, the man or woman
with the inquiring mind will lin the
full knowledge that the wants Of the
world are vastly greater than ever be-
fOre) study more and more carefully
to see whether there is not cause for
such conditions which man himself
can remove. If we find, on such
search, that the mSnipulatOr of money
and its representatives is growing day
by day more powerful and arrogant,
while the class who toll with brain and
Drawn is at the same time sinking
into poverty, and exchanging the hope
full countensnce for the gullen brow,
we must, even though we aOoWId not,
conclude that something is wrong; and,
while these very conditions may be the
logical outcome Of our self.sstisfed
manner of governing" ourselves, the
same hard fact will still stare that stu
dent In the face.
But the question will then naturally
suggest itself, Why do the rich grow
richer and the potent more powerful
at the expense of their neighbors In
this countryP There is only one an.
swer, and that is because the people
have slept on guard and thereby have
in g measure lost that which is their
inslienabIe right-the right to life,
liberty and happiness. Should be
more specific and name some aggrega-
tion of capital that has grown until
the people in sheer desperation are try
ing to control itP For the purpose
aimed at by this article, one case is
sufficient. The Kansas City Stock
Yards Company.
Judge Martins cross-exsminstion Of
Manager Morse in the hearing at Kan
sss City recently developed the fact
that much of the seven and one-third
millions of the stock yards capital was
created" by "simple twist of the
wrist" SO to speak.
It should be remembered that Mr..
Morse's own testimony established the
fact that the business has made profits
and declared dividends from the very
first. The people of the State have
contended that the charges were and
are too high, and that the dividends
have been declared ON inflated Val1eg,
or fictitious capitalization. Mr.. Morse
testified that the capital stock of the
company in 1872 was 5000, that the
capital was increased in 1874 to $l44, 900,
and that this increase of $4,000 was
made from the earnings of the com
pany out of the dividends. The next
year there was another dividend Of
$4,000, or 331155 per cent, and the stock
was increased to $4,000, aud so on
steadily until 1884, when the capital
stock was $685., 900, when the company
made a grand master-Stroke and
The advocate., 1897-06-16

testified, any cash being paid into the
treasury by virtue Of such recrganiZa-
tion. In 1SS7-the capital stock was in
creased TO S4,0lO,OOO, with only little
over S5OO,OOO paid In as cash. BY hook
and by crook the capital was increased
from time to time until the present
amount, 81, ,S6S,65O, was reached, and
that 10 the sum on which the company
must make dividends If 1t does have
to charge 81 a bushel for corn
and 81 a hundred for hay, and not
withstsndlng the fact that since the
present company was organized only
80, 759, ,5l6 was cash item, and S5O0,O0O
of that was issued to the Armour
Packing Company ss a bonus for locat-
Ing their plant at Kansas City. Fur.
ther, that up to the time of reorgani-
zstion when the capital stock was
fixed at $l,99O,OOO, only $266,6S4 had
been paid In, and this included $4,000
given to the Fowler Packing Com
psny. An analysis of this evidence
seems to show that up to 1884 there
had been paid In the sum Of 1926, 1884,
and since that time the sum of $2, ,259,-
SIC, making total of S2,496, 200 paid In
cash-less than one third of their cap
italizstiOn.
Where does the value Of the remain
der of the capital show upP Manager
Morse said that it was largely made up
from "the increased value of lands
owned by the company" Mr.. Morse
told of lands to the value Of nearly
$250,OOO which the company gave to
various parties In order to induce them
to locate in Kansas City, and at the
same time destroy the markets at
Atchison and perhaps other places.
All of these "gifts" were covered by
stock issues and the company cOntin-
ued to bleed the producers Of stock in
order that 1t might make all Of this
capital, real and fictitious, earn divi-
dends.
The lesson of the Stock Yards Com
pany is this: We are suffering from
the same freebOOting system as of old
only the freebooters wear different
livery.
John Howard Gibson's song, para,
phrased to suit this case, would read
like this:
"The robbers OF old were fearless and bold,
| And never put on any fTills;
| But she robber to-day has different way,
And"-the husbandmen foot up the bills.
But now, returning to some Of the
thoughts advanced in the beginning OF
this paper, what right has this cor
pOration to count the increment In the
value of this land as a part Of itt
active capitsl2 Who gave it the right
to use the increase In the value Of that
land, made more valuable by the enter
prise of all the people Of that great
city, as means by which 1t might
bleed all Of the producers of live stock
and indirectly all the consumers o.
