Holding That No Man Can Solve the
Social Question for Another. Each
Must Solve It For Himself
(By DR.. A. Hausman.)

Does man possess any value and by
what standard is it measured?
Life on earth is prodigious; it is contin-
ually destroyed and reproduced in endless
succession, and man himself is not exempt
from the incessant struggle against the
same natural forces to whom he owes his
existence If the biblical story that god
made man were true, he ought to be of
some value to his creator, whose energy
and time were required for that task and
which should be worth at least as much as
those of any mortal artist.
"Did god also create time? What was
before it and out of what material is it
madeO
Judging, however from the way he neg
lects his creatures, he cannot blame us If
we renounce him and get along without
asking his consent or aid.
Since it is evident that the natural pow
ers are not particularly interested in our
welfare, we cannot assume that we are of
value to any one, except to ourselves and
our fellow-men. Among cannibals the
value of person might be determined by
weight, the same as the cattle; for slave
holder his capacity for useful and pleas
ant purposes would furnish basis for his
valuation; but among civilized nations his
value must be measured by different stan
dard, which is given by our social organi-
cation. The enormous quantity of mater
al necessary for the support Of large num-
bers can only be procured if the work is
performed under the system of division OF
labor, and because every product of labor
is expressed in terms of a common stan
dard-money-we may use the same meas
ure to determine the value Of an individ-
ual. In fact, the loss community suffers
bv death from accident or disease is often
expressed by the amount of money the la
Dor of the deceased would have been worth.
Since we are all compelled to strive for the
possession of money, it has become custom
ary to Judge mans value as member
of society by the extent to which he has
accomplished this object, instead of consid-
ering the means by which it has been at
tanned.
The correct understanding of this rela-
ton, the reduction of all individual func-
tions to the common material basis, forms
the KEY to the proper comprehension of
the social question, and will be discussed
later in a special chapter Of the book In
this brief article l only wish to make few

law: but without money no rights,-no

The people in California are Indifferent;
they are used to graft, and besides the
medical profession is looked as with a GER
tain distrust. No wonder, with such fellows

The Value of Man

comments on your article, "The Man and
the World,' which expresses the first So
cial and material principle that ought to
be taught in place of religion, namely: that
every one must take the world as it is, and
must solve his own individual social ques-
ton, because no one else can do it for him.
II is quite true that the world owes nobody
a living and that it is criminal to take re-
venge on innocent individuals for injuries
suffered through the faults of laws or other
common social institutions
But it can also not be denied that some
times injustice and wrongs are inflicted
upon individuals through abuse Of power,
which is condoned by society, or at least al
lowed through indifference. If the abuse in
such cases becomes intolerable and leads to
violent resistance, the attack will be di-
rected against an entire class, because it is
impossible to fix the responsibility upon
distinct individuals. The greatest exam
pie in modern history of this effect of ac-
cumulated mis-rule and abuse of power
was the French Revolution.
Even in our own country. individual
rights guaranteed by the Constitution are
and there is no remedy; one has to grin
and bear it. I have been unfortunate
enough to furnish an example of how
person may be deprived of the right to
make a living, even if he has given abun-
dant proof that he is able to render the
equivalent society is entitled to. I am re-
ferring to the so-called medical examina-
tion in California which in other States,
less accustomed to graft, world probably be
called a hold-up. Presumably for the pur-
pose of protecting the public against in
competent practitioners, the examination is
really intended to prevent physicians from
outside to settling in the State, which re-
moves competition and preserves the control
of the medical affairs for the ring This is
easily accomplished by asking only ques-
tions on subjects which are either abso-
lutely worthless or need not be known by
memory.
Before coming to San Francisco, I had
practiced for eight years in a Mexican
mining camp, where severe surgical cases
were of frequent occurrence, which is proof
absolute that 7 am able To do the work.
But here found out, according to the Cal
ifornia standard Of science, 7 really had
no business to practice and my patients no
right to recover, because 7 could not an
swer many of the profoundly scientific
questions, of which few examples may
demonstrate the wisdom Of the examiners:

Interesting Facts Regarding
the Laboratory Of the Cham
oerlain Medicine Co.,
DeS MOines, Iowa,

A person purchasing bottle Of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has no
conception of the magnitude of the
laboratory where this medicine is
manufactured. The machinery and
apparatus used in its preparation was
designed especially for the purpose
and cost several thousand dollars
Europe, South America and the Unit
ed States supply the various ingesli-
ents of this remedy, and only the
highest obtainable quality is used.
No pains or expense has been spared
in making it as nearly perfect as pos
sible.
A force of helpers representing
homes enough to populate an average
Iowa town are regularly employed at
the plant Of the Chamberlain Medicine
Company of Des MONIES, Iowa. Their
printing department, which is usually
overlooked i'm calculating the expense
of a business Of this kind, ranks ss one
Of the best in the State, and is thor
oughly equipped with automatic press
es and folders Of the LATEST improved
type. Here enough print paper is
used in one year to spread over ten
farms Of 100 acres each, upon which is
printed advertising matter, directions
and labels in twenty-eigh different
languages and dialects. Enough lum-
Der is used in making the cases in
which the medicines are shipped to
build an eight room house on each of
these ten farms every three months.
The bottles used by this firm every
year, which are filled by machinery at
the rate Of 1000 per hour, if placed
end to end would reach across the
United States seven times or almost
encircle the globe. 1872
