LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Mr. VaIIette lnquires for the Middle
 man.

Mir Editor In his letter of Sept. 18th Mr. Aver tells us he can come to no other conclusion than the middle man gets the 65 cents and then re fers tC. the 47tl. chapter ot Genesis, IA to 26 verses, and says that Joseph was employed as agent by Pharoah. 'Jo- seph handed it over to Pharoah. Please point out the middlenan ill this case. Pharoah was not a silent partner; he was the whole thing. He was not only king of Egypt, but was monarch of all he surveyed Pharoah'S government was a monarch. Monarchal systems or methods will produce slavery, not liberty. Joseph took one hushel of corn out of every five bushels the people same time, until Pharoah owned the whole thing including the people themselves Pharoah' by owning ev- erything, including the money. he could make prices high or low to suit him. self Prices must~have been high, or the people would not have been starV- ing. There could be no other result, as the money was privately owned. It is this same system that is the cause of the high prices here now. Under such a system it is impossible to be any different.
 The colonists in IT'S were under the same system as were the Egyptians. When the colonists declared and gain ed their independence. they establish ed the right to create their own mon EY for themselves. In framing that is called the Constitution, some one got in q joker. which placed them under the same monarcha1 system of private ownership of all the money created by congress: system they had fought seven long years to free themselves from. During nearly all the time since 1792 this system has been in operation, until today the agents of the money owners Gin Wall street} are exactlng three -fifths of all the products of labor, and handing it over to our modern Pharoahs Three times as much as Jo- seph exacted, and six times as much as King George eXacted from the colonies, and yet we are told this is democra- ~. That is a government of the peo- pie. by the people, and for the people. The Egyptians, under King Pharoah, owned no money The colonists, under King George, owned no money: and, strange as it may seem, ninety mill lions of so-called free people do not own the money they use. It is all Dor roWed money. to be returned to it's owners.
 And now. MT. Aver. assert that sys- teIn is the cause for the present high cost Of living. The so or 65 cents event. ually goes to the money owners as in- terest for the use of the money And now the remedy. There is but one rem edy. and that is the public ownership of all the money when created by con- gress, and then paid out to individuals for service and for products created by labor. This is the only remedy for the high cost of living. The system must be changed from private to public own ership, and be paid into circulation in stead of loaned. With 8 man produc ing what the consumer pays 5 for, and gets only s2 for producing it, he cannot buy. the $5 worth with the S2 he reccived@ Then he complains of the high cost of living. I believe Mir. Aver will be able to understand both the cause and the remedy. If not, I doubt if he can solve the problem of Why is a hen?'
