they say, and factories established. The
manufacture of large quantities of articles
needed by man was begun. The factory
system was established. The man who had
formerly produced the article himself,
family or his neighbor needed, was COM

to work in the factory. He could not make
goods as cheap as could the machines, which
made the goods in much less time He
could not compete. The machine had taken
the place of man. Formerly man owned the
means of production and the products, now
man used the means of production owned by
another, and the product retained by the
owner of the machine. Man was paid GER

such, that wife and sister assisted the hus-
band, father and brother in keeping the
larder supplied. But machines were from
time to time more improved and new ones
invented. The result was that thousands of
families were deprived of all the necessaries
of life. Because as new and better machines
were substituted for old ones less labor was
required and therefore more men and wo-
men found themselves out of employment.
Children of school age we're sent to the fac

starvation from home For many ma.
chimes required only the attention of a child
to keep it in operation. Now, the consump-
ton Of goods had very naturally decreased !;
because in lowering wages and throwing
out of employment thousands upon thou
sands of men and women, the purchasing
power of the people was destroyed The
manufacturers had lost the home market.
The people Of these United States could not
purchase the goods that they produced.
But the manufacturers, instead of the
working class or the so-called democratic"
government, solved it for their own benefit.
The wise heads came together. Brilliant
ideas were exchanged. And the result
Trusts were formed You might ask what
good that would do? Could they thereby
get rid of that so-called overproduction?
Could not the foreign manufacturer supply
us with cheaper goods, if American trusts
were to raise the price Of same? Yes. But

tain amount of money for labor performed
called wages The wage system was estab-
lished. Man had become wage-slave His
employer was his master His master, be-
cause he owned the tools of production
used by the one who worked for him; for
hire in the full sense of that term, for he
the master, lived off the work of his en-
ployee.
The machine being able to do the work
of many men caused idleness, and therefore
competition among labor. The market was
established. A labor market is the condi-
ton labor finds itself in when unemployed
namely, looking for employment. Now
competition being an accomplished fact, the
owner of the machine, the master, was able
to reduce wages. Not that he wanted to
see misery and want among the people, but
because his profits would thereby increase.
He would gain more capital Then utiliz-
ing every opportunity for investment would
build another factory or enlarge the old
one. What for? To make more profits
AS more factories were being established,
an immense lot of goods was produced.
The time soon came when more was pro-
duced than could be sold. Competition
among manufacturers became more fierce.
Each tried to out-do the others in sales
Something had to be done. Economy

Slowly wages were lowered. Men with

member that our nation is commercial ma
ton; that our national lawmakers are the
manufacturers, bankers and lawyers, which
the masses have seen fit to elect. Every
thing seemed to have been fixed before
hand. The Dingley Tariff Bill became
law, preventing foreign manufacturers
from competing with our own in our home
markets. Trusts were formed to DESTROY
that very competition, which gave them
birth to raise the prices of all products; to
more economize on time and labor; and to
exhaust the over-supply by stopping the
machines of production, closing factories,
mills, mines, until the market was again in
a healthy condition. For instance: The
American Tobacco Company bought up the
largest tobacco factories in the United
States and Canada, SO in all. It at once
closed 3d.; II remained open. Cannot you
imagine that thousands of men and women
were thus thrown out of employment Now,
there are over 100 trusts so formed in this
ing in all parts of this land, especially in
the large cities. And / predict that in fu-
ture we will have more justification. Then
the trusts will become greater and more
powerful than they are today, but less in
number. The stronger will swallow it's
