WEALTH VS.. DEMOCRACY.

After taking as the price of his service
to his countrymcn every luxury that our
civilization affords, for himself and for
his household. the American millionaire
has taken moro. He has taken the power
to Cypress the people by establishing un-
natural commercial and industrial con-
ditions. Iy compelling the people to pay
dividends upon watcred stock in unfairly
organized corporations, the rich man has
unjustly increased the price of land trans
portation. This Is laying a robbers trib-
ute upon the masses. as surely as any
baronial tax was ever put upon vassnls.
The tribute falls upon every article of
necessity or of comfort or of luxury that
the people use. More than that, the ag-
grandizement Of capital in cheating cor
porations has made it possible for an
usurous direct tax to be levied immoral
ly, even though legally, upon the water
that the city jewellers use. upon the light
and fuel and power that all the people
use. Interest on bogus debts is paid by
consumers of the commonest necessaries
of life, and this unfairly accumulated
wealth is used to devise further methods
and to legaliZe them, in order to put the
yoke OF accommodating capital upon the
people. Rich mon are but men; they love
power as all mon love it. and they use it
as men. Their money gives them power:
it opens a new sport to them, when the
mere getting of money pals. This diver
sion is tho control of government. Thus
far in playing that game the rich man
has not materially harmed the country.
Hc has played for pleasure rather than
for profit. Nevertheless. the presence Of
organized wealth in American politics, as
an estate there. must be understood clear
Is and reckoned with as n fact by the
voters. There is just so much power gen
Grated by tho surrender of the individual
rights and liberties of the people to the
| government. and when organized wealth
takes part of that power. the people
who should control this government with
| their votes have that much less govern
ment to control.
