Thinks Issue is Confused

Greenville Texas October 21.--To the Edi-
tor Of The Independent: With all due respect,
Mr.. Maxwell, must say that your latest effort
in this discussion confuses rather than enlight-
ems the issue. Ii statistics can be swept aside
by mere assertion, the writer mat asserts the
hardest Will certainly win, hands down. Your first
letter gave promise of an Investigators man
realizing that the determination or a truth must
have for it's base certail known facts from which
conclusion be logically deduced. 1t would be
waste of time to continue this discussion il all
this is to be ignored, and SO far from being edi-
fed the readers of The Independent would be
sickened with disgust.
Without intending any disrespect whatever
to you, or to my other critic, Mr.. Gordon of Read
ing, Mass, ! will say that If government stats
tics have no value which you gentlemen are
bound to respect, this discussion is off. Both
Of you meet these statistics with faint so,'
and seem to regard your ipse dixit all sufficient
That mere parenthetical statement of mine
is the first thing assailable, looks like
Catching at straws" In view of the fact that
not word comes back on the 'pessimistic ques-
ton" | assume am making some progress. With
this rubbish out Of the way, perhaps there will
be less to divert us from something of real value
You say:
my own opinion is that the proportion of
capitalists to the whole population is greater
today than ever before"
"The statistics on which socialists found their
theory is certain range OF low-salaried
workmen.'
The struggle for existence is not as hard as
1t was fifty years ago, nor is it precarious.'
There is no increase in pauperism."
"A large percentage of the ngricultursts are
capitalists
Now, Mr.. Maxwell, where is your authority
for these assertions? Have you anything more
than your belief-your opinion" If not, some
of the "chaf" socialists accused of using
will be found at your ow door. What does the
world care for your opinion?
You also gravely inform me--and The Inde
pendent readers-that the statement of five

OF February 12 1905, under the head, 100000
Idle Men Fed by Charity's Hand among other
things in lengthy account of the situation, says:
ut is a larger army of unemployed than has ever
perhaps assembled in this city before. They do
not belong with the class of professional un-
employed who go through life with a hard luck
story. Most of this great army of unemployed
have made heroic effort to obtain employment
1t is stated that in addition to the large
number of transient unemployed there 100000
families in the city on the verge of restitution
They are of class peculiar to America They
have pride, they have energy, but while their
earning capacity has been narrowing their liv
ing expenses have been increasing, and the awful
truth has come to them that they are drifting
into pauperism."
The above is not socialist testimony. You
seem to think socialists have Statistics" and
testimony of their own In fact you have queer
ideas of socialist philosophy. Socialists recog-
nize all useful labor productive labor. The
railroad employee is just much producer as
the farmer, in the sepee that his labor is neces-
sarily part of every product freighted over the
road on it's destination to the consumer. Your

be given in confirmation that labor Tin connection
with the natural resources) produces all wealth.
Outside of labor there isn't single thing that
gave value to the mahogany logs Labor built
the ship that carried them to market 1t mined
the coal that steamed the ship, It fed the fur
mace, it manned the vessel on its long voyage,
and finally, unloaded its rpecious freight, made
valuable by the aggregate of labors work, and
yet to be more valuable in its completion by
abor's hand. My original proposition still stands
for an answer.

sixths of the labor OF production being performed
by the machine is true in certain Industries only"
and ask how much does machine do in growing
orchard?"
Evidently, Mr.. Navel, you have never seen
the thirteenth annual report of the commissioner
OF labor. | will state for your information that
among the tWenty-Seven products OF agriculture
treated in the report, orchards one of them.
The report embraces eighty eight different indus
tries and considers the production Of 672 different
articles. The list is varied and includes in addi-
tion to agriculture, agricultural implements,
bookbindng, boots and shoes, bakery products,
brick, carriages and wagons, clocks and watches,
clothing, cotton goods cutlery, cooperage, dairy
products fruits and vegetables furnishing goods,
furniture, iron and Steel jeWelry, ladders leather,
lumber, marble and stone, oysters planning mill
products, printing and publishing, saddlery and
harness, soap, tinware tobacco, wall paper min
ing, and Guairying, transportation, ETC., etc. This
is by no means all, but it is enough to show
something OF the scope from which average
is derived.
In some of these industries the machine is
thrty-nine times more efficient than was the hand
method The orchard, about which you are con-
cerned is but a fourth more efficiently cultivat-
ed. From assuming these eighty eight industries
represent fair average Of other industries not
included in the report, the statement that five
sixths of production is now performed by the
machine, is derived. The thirteenth annual report
of the commissioner of labor is my authority;
who is yours?
NOW Wnlle emcency or production has in
creased sixfold this same report shows that the
wage of the worker has Increased less than
per cent in fifty years. Yet with this bagetelle
increase of wage, dispossessed OF five-sixths Of
the field of production, and four-ffths of the re-
ward to labor the report shows-in face of
all this you say, the struggle for existence is
as hard as it was fifty years ago, nor is it more
precarious." This only SLOWS what Imagination
can do with with no strings tied to him.

you ridicue and assert have not increased, the

You who are waiting-We ask you
again to try Liquozone; to try it at
our expense. You'll regret this de-
lay when you learn what the pro-
duct means to you.
Do as millions have dOne-stOp

diseases to which Liquozone best APP

What Liquozone Is.
The virtues of Liquozone are de-
rived solely from gases. The formula
is sent to each user. The process of
making requires large apparatus, and
from 8 to IA days time. 1t is direct
ed by chemists of the highest class.
The object is to so fix and combine
the gases as to carry into the system
a powerful tonic-germicide.
Contact with Liquozone kills any
form of disease germ, because germs
are of vegetable origin. Yet 10 the
body Liquozcac is not only harmless,
but helpful In the extreme. That Is
It's main distinction. Common germi.
cides are poison when taken inter.

Romance to lift her glorious pail
Woven of wild and subtle CLEANS
Yet everywhere the magic seems
Built over dark and cruel deeps

Still blacker sink the CUFFS between,
