DISTRIBUTION OF MONEY.
legged Ones Favored by Class
Liquidation.

The accumulation Of money in the
financial institutions of this country,
in a great measure due to the extor.
tions practiced upon the people. is 50
great that one Of them announced III
willingness to take the whole of the
British war bond issue of $4,000, 900.
Others are equally anxious, though hav.
ing less money, while the general sub.
scription amounts to more than the
whole issue. The time has evidently
passed when this country must look
to England for money. There is more
idle capital in America waiting for in
vestment than there was ever before,
notwithstanding the fact that the gov
eminent is ~expending untold millions
abroad in a criminal war of conquest
with no results TO show for it. The
producing masses are toiling harder
than ever before and receive a less re.
turn for their labor than they did a
decade ago, though their expenses have
been increased through arbitrary ad'
vances in trust prices by fully 30 pei
cent.
A rapid increase in wealth is notice.
able among the privileged ones favored
by class legislation, while the produ.
cling masses are to-day in a far less
satisfactory condition than before the
last panic. The undetermined pros
perity is all one-sided. 1t does not ex
tend to the people, but re-
|, mains confined to the classes to such
an extent that the immense accumula'
ton of idle money must needs look for
profitable investment abroad. No one
will pretend to say that this is a healthy
condition of affairs. When the wealth
r of q nation becomes concentrated in the
i hands of the few to the exclusion Of
: the many, when the nonprodueins
classes absorb all and leave nothing to
