future use. And the result thereof
was the acksliding of the Chinese in
everything except those articles made
exclusively by hand-such as the beau
tiful working Of six garme MS. The
Chinese are now introducing modern
machinery and labor-saving devices in
all branches Of business and manufac-
tur.-thus giving to socialistic thrones
in that country-a death blow.
Inthis country labor-saving machine
ry has be the means Of increasing the
productiveness and giving labor as q
ca SO greater opportunity than any
other country. The introduction of the
typesetting machines in this country
was fought by the labor unions upon
the theory that it would displdce a
large number of printers. On the other
hand it was the means of increasing
the number and size of newspapers and
magazines Likewise it has increased
wages remarkably AMI male the art of
ltypesetting less W, airing and more
artistic one More printers were en-
,, ployed after the Introduction of type
setting machines than ever before.
The introduction ofthe self harvester
was vigorously opposed and yet the in
vention and use of labor-saving ma
chinery has accelerated the develop
ment of agriculture most marveIously
in all of its various branches.
The same is true of all trades and
manufactures where Iabor-savlng ma
chine y has been adopted. The buga-
boo regarding the harm of introducing
labor-saying machinery is one that nc
longer frighteas anyoie.
So much for that.

aggregations of combined capital and

The masses of the people suffer-and
so do the classes. 1t is not picnic to
manage large concerns nor does wealth
invariably bring Happiness. The more
cultivated and educated people are the
more they suffer menta ly and physi-
caily from the various daily disappoint-
ments of life. Some rich people are
perfectly miserable. Not long ago the
wife of a multi-millionaire not more
than forty years of age committed sui

Others have shuffled off this mortal
coil by their own hands tor reasons less
tangible than the above.
The happiest people on earth are
those who have neither too much mol
too little-and whose daily lives ex'
emplify the higher teachings of civili
zation. No man or woman is free
from earthly cares and statutes will
not change the results of nature.

have become enormously rich thru the
ownership and ccn'rol of monopolies,
divide up their wealth and give part of
it to Il e worthy poor i'll the shape of
cash instead OF providing them with
libraries and scholarships which will
n .itl.e- fee nor clothe them. To this
comes the objection that the distribu-
tion of wealth among the poor makes
them beggars AID more than ever de-
pendent upon otl e-s for succor and
support. The best aid that can be
given any people is to educate them
and make them self-dependent instead
of intoxicating the,,idea of paternaIism
or charity.
Socialism ha, be making grta
strides among the | e 'ple chiefly OH ac-
count of tie great aggrandizement of
wealth in the hands of few. Lead;
ing financiers will reply to this by say
ing one man can manage 100000 miles
of railroad as well and as ably as if he
! were controlling but 1000 miles. Fur
thermore you will be informed by lex
| perienced men thatsit is an easier prop
osition to control all of the railroad
mileage of the country under one sys-
tenn than to have the same mileage
managed by number of officials with
computing interests and employing cut
throat methods in order to get business.
1t may be said of any industry that
! a monopoly of it reluces cost of pro-
duction aud distribution. In thirty
years kerosene Oil has been reduced
from sixty cents to eight cents gallon
The major portion of this reduction
has been brought about thru the mo-
nopoly of its control by one concern OF
4 corporation.
i Socialists are opposed to the immense
/ profits made in the manufacture ol
machinery. A typewriter which SELL
i for $1O0 costs less than $40. to manu-
facture. The cost is enhanced by tn,
, cost OF marketing and freights.

pool their issues and divide they can by
just rights demand only their proper
tionate share of profits. All elements
are dependentupont ne another. When
farm products are high wages are good.
Per contra when wages Of laborers are
high farm products bring good prices.
In t! e last analysis all burdens are
borne by the producers. They pay the
freight ON all commodities goiug and
coming. The nnearned increment in
all cases, (the rise of land values, the
watering of stock in corporatlons1
goes to the epecuiatOrs-and only q
small share of it inures to tie benefit
of the real upbuilders of aly country
the producers.
! Socialists are mostly agitatOrs-ex-
pending their energies in bowling and
harsnguing for All EIysium state which
will never come If those who want
happy homes will hearken unto history
they will learn the solemn lesson that
nothing comes except by labor and in
dustry--and saving something against
the time when the days of production
are over.
! Every time socialist colony has
been established in the United States
it has proved to be failure. The plan
of corporations dividing profits with
their employees in proportion to their
worth is an innovation that has proved
to be great boon to employer and en-
ployed. The universal adoption Of
this plan among all corporations-tLe
old age pensiOn-and the inculcation
of the ideas among employees of put
ting part of their savings into the
stocks and securities of the corpora
Itions by which they are employed will
go long ways toward putting capital
and labor on the same footing thus
wiping out discomfort and giving the
q agitators no caufe for comp'a Mt.
!. The Socialists as an organization can
). do their share by acting as check
against rabid anti-labor legislation and
that's about all the good they can ac-
complish. UNCLE ISAAC.

" VERY now and then socialism
L. takes spurt-one way or anOth-
er. What does sOcia ism mean?
Very few know and they refuse
to tell or they befuddle their theories
i'm such manner as to preclude the un-
initiated from really understanding or
comprehending their ideas.
Technically socialism means commu.
nism-an equal distribution of wealth
among all. Socialism was practiced in
the early ages of the worlds history
when mankind was divided into camps
or tribes. Whatever belonged to one
belonged to all-and wha ever belonged
to all belonged to one. The early social
lists were governed by kings and tyran-
nical rulers who swayed their subjects
with rod of iron. In those olden days
shelter consisted of rude thatch huts
or tents. There were no luxnries of
any kind-except wine-and that was
so plentiful it was almost as common
as water is today.
With the advance of modern civiliza-
tion socialism-or communism-dle
out until revived at various periods as
experiments-most of which have fail
ed. Individuals are entitled to earthly
rewards in consonance with their abili-
ty and application to duty. Certain
individuals are endured with greater
ability or application than others.
Hence the rivalry among individuals to
come into their own and to have and
hold the same.
Community of interest has worked
out successfully in public affairs but
never in private matters. The history
of the world has demonstrated that be-

L. H. Bailey, director of the New York state college of agriculture, throws out an idea that is as well calculated for Massachusetts and ConnettiC"t as the Empire stAGe. He invites attention to the fact that an acre of water can be made to yield more food than an acre of ground
 Most farmers have given little though to the cultivation of water crops, but note what is possible: "The man who owns lake or pond, or has the use of one, will in the future find it to be valuable agri- cultural property. We shall breed domestic varieties of fish, as we do pigs or poultry. Some of the Euro pean peoples are doing this now. At present we are stocking our st cams and llFes for sportsmen. As com petition increases, however, we mlst stock the ponds in the same spirit as we stock our pastures. We have passed the hunting stage with cattle and sheep. We shall then com- to (, scientific development and uti,iza- tion of water fields" Here is d proposition entirly feasible, ana one that time will see fully acted ..pon. It is in rhe line Of intensive far.ning, that is making the best use of rhe earth and the waters thereof, how ever small the holding may be. Springfield Republican.
