ton. Deplorable conditions prevail
amongst the great mass Of the wage
earners, the real wealth creators Of ov-
cry nation. Every sort of remedy u
urged except the true one. The real
remedy is capable of both constitu-
tional and evolutionary application.
Thus formulated 1t not alone makes
brothers Of men who have hitherto
bitterly warred among themselves; It
Goes far more, for it sweeps away ev-
cry subtle argument which can be
LIged against its immediate and per-
manent adoption.
Apply to the domain of human law
The ultimation of the natural principle
Of justice and new and truer era
will at once dawn for suffering, per-
Tlexed humanity The prayer OF the
socialists will be answered and still the
! government will not engage in COM
modify production. Men will rapidly
be enabled to cooperate and thus to
share among themselves the entire
| fruit of their skill and toll. Capital
will become the willing servant in
stead OF the brutal taskmaster of man
| Find. The door will be opened for the
Unlimited creation of all kind OF sta
rle commodities. No longer will the
cry of overproduction be raised while
workers stand in idleness suffering for
he want of the very necessities which
it is falsely stated are overproduced.
Single takers are dissatisfied with
cur present system of government
| They really desire that all mankind
secure access upon a basis of equality
tc mother earth. Transportation re-
formers are likewise disgruntled. They
| demand that all citizens should be en-
titled to access upon basis Of equal
ity to all means of transportation.
Money reformers assert that injustice
mars human monetary systems Their
/ fundamental aim is that those produc-
ing or holding staple commodities
should secure access to money upon
basis of equality with those holding
valid securities calling for fixed
number of dollars; thus securing sta
Eility in the price level of the great
staple commodities.
Inductive philosophical conclusions:
Just human government must secure
unto all humans access upon basis or
equality to those economic factors
which individuals cannot or are not al
lowed to create and regulate. This
just ultimation can be attained
through constitutional laws which
IRE evolutionary in character. In this
Judicious manner the socialistic aim
that all mankind secure access upon a
basis of equality to all means of pro-
duction, can rapidly be accomplished.
Hitherto it has not been perceived
/ that all of the various economic fac
tons have been seeking to apply the
self-same utimation to different por-
tons of the economic realm. Upon
analysis it will be clearly perceived
that all of the various warning cliques
Of economic reformers have been and
are seeking to apply the same ulti-
nation to some portion of the eco
nomc field. Nor has it been perceived
that this ultimation, viz: access upon
iasis of equality, is the natural ulti-
nation of the universal principle OF
justice. Whatsoever the laws Of ma
ture will do for man or men, condi-
tions being complied with, they will
do for any and for all mankind. II
cur socialistic, single tax, money and
transportation reforming friends real
ly desire to show a rational and nat
ural foundation for their apparently
widely diverging propagandas, they
will upon investigation admit that it
is to be found in the fact that the inn
partial principle of natural justice ul-
Inmates in securing access upon basis
Of equality.
The foregoing statement can be veri-
fed by any man or by any humber OF
men, for it will be found that nature
invariably grants all humans access
to electricity upon a basis of perfect
equality. 1t is the duty of economic
reformers of every shade of opinion to
direct the attention of all mankind to
the foregoing vitality important dis
covery. 1t reveals the natural and
therefore the scientific basis of eco
nomic reform. If doubters or scoffers
exist, let them conduct few electri-
cal experiments and thus ascertain
