for; has bat one fault. that Of caus-
ing Il centralization Of the profit Of
the toll of the people in the hands
Of groups of individuals, instead Of
leaving it with the people who
have created it. Thus, the people
instead of being the gamers by this
industrial concentration, find the
impositions of capital only so much
harder, for the more that capital
seems to get the more it grabs
after. The concentration of effort
will 90 on, whatever may result
from legal action of the courts

tai. and, eventually the people will
begin to perceive that they can
supply their wants without the IN
terycntion Of private capital. This
would mean no hardship for the
capitalists, as we know him now;
for he would have all that he could
require for his we'll being. He
would be placed III the producing
class, and his effort here would
count 50 much for the common
good. Whatever the opponents OF
such scheme fer tie welfare of
society may say against il, there
are few indeed who would argue
for the continuance Of system
which permits hundreds of millions
to accumulate in the hands Of an
individual, while hundreds Of thous-
anas Of his fellOw-mcn are conIn-
ua'Iy upon the ragged edge Of
