there will be an excess, and 1t is tnls
excess that will control the market.

HOW TO EVEN UP.

H. A. Hancock Of this city, has
lived fourscore-and-fve years. He has
been observing causes and noting eff
fects long time. But We met him
one day a year or so back when he
had come upon a problem that was
too much for him, and the remark that
he made has been ringing in our ears
ever since. He said: Every interest
is organizing. Each class is union
ling and its members ceasing to war
among themselves. but cooperating
for protection against other classes,
and what l want to know is this:
When all the classes get uniOnized
ana all strike for less work and more
pay. what's going to be done about
it?'-Farmers' Journal.
This is the easiest question in town.
By eliminating the useless deadwood
which the world is carrying in the
form of spectators in lands, goods
and chattels, the saving will make the
hours short enough TO suit any sane
person, and the pay is small mat
ter that will take care OF itself. The
burden of the world today is the non
productive elements which suhsist on
the labor of others. Many of these
are engaged in a socalled distribution
of products, but there are millions
who are living on the fat of the land,
who are neither carriers nor distrib'
utors, but who are merely sharks eat
ing at the expense Of the public. Give
us another question that takes some
thinking.
