thousandths of one cent. Costs him
5 cents. 20c remains. He takes tobac-
co, 5 cents, which costs to produce
ee-eighths of a cent. He must have
comb which costs two cents in labor
to produce and this consumes the labor
cost which he received for producing
this ton of coal.
Now let's see what he received as he
must pay profit, rent, interest and ev-
ervthing. He lost to hold his job, 2
cents for the preacher. Labor cost OF
matches, 1-5 of I cent, cost him DC.
/ lb. rice, labor cost 1876 of cent,
cost him 10c. bar soap, labor cost,
73-1O0 of cent, cost him &c. Tobac-
co, labor cost, 3-S of I cent, cost him
nc, Comb labor cost &c, cost him 15c.
Thus You can see when A put forth
labor to the amount of 42c he received
what other laborers received about 212c
for uroducing. Now, Mr.. A don be-
gin taking about raw material as you
have nothing to do with it, as 1t all
belongs now to the fellow who owns
vour lob and your brother wage slaves,
foo This is capitalism for which you
must vote and pray. If you desire to
compute cost of raw material, just
think for "a moment that God created
if for YOU and the balance of the -hu-
man family. and if He charges any
thing for it, | would advise you to
take if to Him, as you will see Him
a long time before the fellow who pre-
tends he is going direct and has onl y
been fooling you. He only taxes IL TO
himself.
have figured only the labor cost
value as given by our republican sta
tistics, and this is the true value and
only honest way of estimating value.
We can't arrive at correct value Dy
its use, as some things have very
great use value and cannot be ex-
changed. Air has great use value,
but no exchange value. The only Just
exchange value can only be estimated
by their labor cost.
Now, Mr.. Reader, even wild
West himself, if be is producer
and wants Justice done his fellow
workers, will admit no other cost in
an article except the labor cost. Then
when you think of God or nature fur
nishing the raw material very little
will be added to the above figures for
this Under Socialism everything
will be done for the people that is
done, that is goods will be produced
for use ana not for profit. In other
words, what God created will be pub
lie property. what man creates by the
aid of the God given gifts will be his
and not another S. or private property.
Under Socialism, the labor cost, to-
gether with the wear and tear OF ma
chinery, all the oil and such the ma.
chinery needs, and the labor cost OF
exchange will give everyone what he
produces If he produces nothing, he
gets nothing. We're it not for ignor-
ance and dishonest grafters we would
have no opposers today among the pro-
ducing class.
| submit few questions for you.
Mr.. Reader, and anyone may answer
who desires. 1 would be glad for you
to do so as l would be glad to know
whether l am the only ''sap head in
the country. Since have had time
to think have decided in favor OF the
1.sap beads. 1 would rather be u lit
tie "sappy'' than to be bone headed
for fellow who is bone-headed be-
lieves whatever pap believes. He
would go miles to preach theology es-
tablished with ''pap's" money against
the religion of Jesus, but excuse me,
Mr.. Reader, as there is no intelligence
in such, and | agreed sometime since
for "Wild Vest to call me anything
he pleased and now | promise not to
