promoting the activity of actually
productive trade and labor is not APP
pretended by the multitude. They
are simply children who only know
that with the thing called money in
their hand they can generally gratiiy
their wants. That the thing wanted
has first to be produced by some
body's labor is an idea only remotely
related to the idea of possession ot
money. So large percentage OF
each new generation is easily con-
vertcd to the idea of money imitation.
When we have bought things that
we did not need and that are not
worth what we paid for them,
bought them only because we hoped
to sell them at big proht before the
Confidence" balloon collapsed, then
we need some cheap money to pay
for the dear things that we have on
our hands. Hurrah! for free coin

ing presses turning out q U.s.
based on the credit of everybody in
stead of backed by the actual proper
ty of the individual user.
Yes, we are all children. and with
the thing called money in our hands
we can crafty our wants. A penny
will buy candy. Our inclination
therefore. in the candy age, is to con
sidcr not how to render service IN
exchange for it. but how to get a
penny. In childhood the. problem
may be solved by an indulgent par
cnt, or grandpa. As we grow older
the lucky find OF horseshoe in the
road, that we can sell for penny to
the village blacksmith solves 1t. AS
we grow older we may stumble on
bit of rock and sell stock in n pros,
pcct hole. We may find coal field
instead OF horseshoe; and II the
coal field, or the oil field. is too big
for us TO cover alone we form cor
poration, take in all there is in sight,
and hold up the consumer for any
price we see fit to fix. But then we
are playing the game and calling, Il
