Solving a Puzzle

Bonner Springs, kans, Jan. 29.-To the Edi-
tor OF The Independent: Harry Stevens propounds
a riddle; | like riddles SO / have guess COM
ing. Allowing that 5000 is the average yearly
wage OF the working man, | guess, first that 500
goes back to capital in the shape of rent Second
that $500 is spent for merchandise which has
passed through the hands of three or four differ
ent parties who have each made profit that
is paid by the consumer and this profit goes
back to capital, guess capital gets $10O back in
profits Third, guess $500 goes to Uncle Sam
bonds and dividends the watered stock of
manufacturing companies and railroad companies
who have handled the goods. Of course this
is not paid direct but is added to the cost of the
goods and amounts to the same thing in reality
Again, capitalists are glad to invest in govern
ment bonds that draw only three per cent inter-
est Yes, but they deposit them with the govern
ment. The government pays years interest in
advance and gives them $50 on the $780, in ma
uonal bank notes to loan at customary rates.
William H. English, democratic candidate for
vicepresdent in 1880, after serving for fourteen
years president of the First National bank of
Indianapolis made the following report: 1--WE
commenced with capital of 100000 During
have returned voluntarily to the stockholders

paired, and on hand there 1927, 900 of undi-
vided earnings, besides $4,000 premiums on our
bonds, and besides a large sum to our credit for

Says Increase Is a Fiction

Bridgeport, N. j., Feb. ITO the Editor of
The Independent: | appreciate reading The indie
pendent but think it is like the Commoner and
other reform papers generally. They have left
the great mass of industrial slaves to their fate
Ninety per cent of the whole people are more
helpless than they have been before from
money standpoint and this is the only question,
in my opinion that interest the industrial
slave. A hungry man think of nothing but
bread, neither an intelligent slave consider
anything greatly before freedom, and the web Of
delusiOn is being wound tighter and tighter every
hour around him. Not only the less educated
people but some of our great leaders as we'll are
in the web. In a letter in The Independent
of January 25 says the vast increase in the
worlds supply of gold since 1897 has given us
cheap money. No doubt the writer means
to say that there is more money in the hands OF
the people to consume each others products. II
that is what he means to say, think he is great
ly mistaken, for | do not believe he can show by
facts and figures of the government that there is
"as much even in the hands of the legitimate
business people, while there is plenty of facts
and figures to prove there is less. He also says
there was too little money in the country in 1896.
Then he asks: rs there too much now" How
man can ask such question that, if he has
any knowledge of the transactions and conditions
of the treasury of the United States I fail to
see, for there positive facts and figures of the
government to prove that the increase of gold has
not increased the volume of lawful money to the
amount Of one dollar, and / will defy any
to prove by the facts and figures of the secre-
tary and treasurer of the United States and the
comptroller of the currency, that it has.

here which is boosting Mortensen for governor
could not even get up resolutions in county con-
ventlon Now they are Whooping up all kinds of
reform, and also have their pockets full of passes
The great fight in the state convention this last
year, | believe, was nothing more than fight
between the Rockefeller and Hill interests. In
TACT 1t looks that way. 1t is the old thing
over again. They talk reform for the purpose of
holding on to the reins of government.

per cent of profit made by the bank 1877 per
annum
Mr.. G. G. Williams, president of the Chemi-
cal National bank, of New York, stated before the
house committee on banking and currency that
his bank had capital of 100000; that it's divi-
dends were $50 per cent per annum, and that
the shares of stock 500 each par value,
and were selling the market at $4,000 per
share. Please figure out the rate per cent. &
Capital! engaged ether iies than banking
accumulates much faster than bank capital and
the banking business is considered slow by all
the "frenzed fnancers.'
guess capital drawn from industry or from
the annual product of industry gets not only seven
per cent but good deal more on the average
though many small capitalists may loan money
for less
The annual wage of the working man is not
paid out of capital, but from the product of his
labor. The wage Garner gets a part of the pro-
ceeds the balance goes to capital or profit and
to pay interest and rent; interest and rent and
the usual allowance for depreciation or wear, in
surance, ETC., must be paid as well as wages
before any net profit or dividend can be made.
business that will not pay dividends is not
profitable and is not continued very long And
many industries pay good dividends stock,
composed largely of water every one ought
to know
Now here is problem in percentage for
those who like to figure: Mr. A. deposits in the
bank mortgage notes to the amount of $4,000.
The notes draw average interest of five per
cent, which the bank agrees to collect and place
to AS credit free of charge. A. is allowed to
draw ninety per cent; or 50 O0O against the notes,
which are held collateral A. Immediately
draws the $4,000 and loans it at six per cent
per annum. What is AS annual income from
interest what is his actual investment in notes,
and what is the rate per cent on his actual in
vestment? Does he owe the bank or the bank
owe him, and how much? Does the bank gain
or lose and how much each year by the opera
