POMP AND SHOW.

Editor Independent: The writer is
seriously thinking of one whose
younger days of life and opportunities
for getting an education has been
limited At the age of fOrty-eight
years, is it not too late in life to try
to start even in learning political
economy? Those who at that age are
observing can learn out of the large
book of nature, especially human ma
ture, great many things; and the
writer is not wholly deficient in that
line
But whatever our desires and wants
are, they should not lead us beyond
our means of getting them. And the
writer does not expect to get many
books, but whatever he does get, if
thew are not much use to himself, they
will do some good to those whom he
| leaves behind. You will understand
that the covering of book, as we'll as
human being, is not as its outside
appearance indicates, but it's true
worth inside.
| If all of those good people who get
up the first day of the week, and try
to teach the people how to die, and
blessings hereafter retain, should give
some more attention to the duties of
our lives to live, and try to bring
forward books of economy on good
and honest government, we as parents
would have far more to be thankful
for. We who are observing ana know
that the tendency of our times is for
show and glitter, and is getting hold
of the people and the places Of wor-
ship. 1t brings many pang to think
ing parents, who in their humble con-
dition of life and means cannot sup
ply the yearnings of those wives and
children who like to make a good APP
! pearance in the procession. And be
, cannot help but think there are many
intelligent rich and well-to-do people
, who cannot help having feelings Of
pity and disgust for those poor wh(
, are trying to ape the rich
We, as fathers, like to see our wives

, taste and be comfortable; but to starvt

rot only to ourselves, but the coming

ought to live and die, would give u

says. "If the state owns all the
means of production, then the state
must have the power to assign to eacn
one his or her occupation and place
There is just little truth IN this
statement, the same DIS exists III oil
OF the nations public operations To-
day; and there is no scarcity OF april
cants for every place Uncle Sam has
to offer.
If the industrial republic should lack
applicants for Objectionable positions
of labor, an increase of 20 per cent
or 80 per cent in wages or the same
ratio in decrease of the per diem,
hours of labor, would bring plenty OF
applicants for any and all kinds OF
positions. We take the broad and
practical ground that where there's
a will there's a way There are no
hard and fast rules relating to the
details of modern socialism; there is
but one, must" in all its curriculum:
"All productive wealth must belong
to the people and be operated for the
benefit of all the people" 1t cannot
be expected there will be no friction,
for we are all finite and human.
| Socialists are not ignorant OF hui
man nature any more than their OPP
ponents, but human nature presents
many phases of moral attainment.
There are tribes who think it honor
able to steal and to kill their fellow
creatures for culinary purposes; we
have advanced somewhat above these
ideas, although we kill thousands an
Eually, indirectly, for the same pur-
pose. Socialists wish to create an en-
vironment wherein a much higher ad
vance will be possible, and the mar
will be placed above the dollar" IL
an objective and practical sense, ant
not as now in vaporous theories, ant
senseless platitudes. So long as CAPT
talism is allowed to exploit human en-
ergy, the dollar will be above thu
man. and all childish prattle to tn
contrary is chaff thrown in the eye
Of the people, and staff and pro-

machinery of human slavery with al
it's sequence of poverty and crime.

both high in new countries. and both
fall together as population increases;
but wages do not fall because interest
falls, but because rent rises. Labor
and capital are both scarce in new
countries and land is plentiful, conse-
quently almost all the product is dl-
vided between labor and capital. AS
the country settles up, labor and capt.
tai both become plentiful while land
becomes scarce, rent increases, and
although more wealth is produced, af-
ter the landlord receives his share
there is less to divide between labor
and capital than formerly. Wages
fall with the increase of rent in spite
Of the fall in interest, and not owing
to the fall in interest. Again, inter-
est and wages may both be higher in
good times than in bad, as more
wealth is produced, consequently
there is more to be divided.

THE TILLER'S LATENT

A tiller of the soil,
Happy and free, you say;
Without a care or trouble to vex-
A workman with his own way.
A toiler who knows no boss;
With naught but team and plow
To hold his interest; for he ne'er need
know
If the country progresses, or how.
1t is enough for him to learn
Nice Agriculture lore,
And let hard problems of the state
Rest with the learned more"
A tiller of the earth
Whose price by the wise is made;
Who buys Trust Goods at enormous
rates,
And sells his own by the Board OF
Trade
Yes, a tiller | am,
But why must l feed,
Without fair play, the people of Earth
From my bins of harvested seed?
| toll, l dig, | grovel,
To call penny my own;
But where does the profit of Freedom
come in
In disposing the crops that are soWn!
