WAGE FARMERS INCREASE
TOO FAST.

Astonishing industrial changes have
taken place during the past relatively
few years These changes have brought
about laws governing shop conditions,
such as ventilation, exhaust systems,
sanitation, lead poisoning, cleanliness
and lighting.
1t is of interest to note that the
gross population of this country has
increased from 100000 in 1900 to 92,-
100000 in 1910. The total population
has doubled in the past thirty years
The question now naturally arises
as to how manufacturing has kept pace
with the growth in total population.
In the past thirty years the wage earn
ers have increased nearly 800 per cent,
while the total population has merely
doubled The increased proportion of
wage earners to the gross population
was only 4 per cent in 1850 against Z
per cent in 1900.
Looking in another direction we find
lDdl lHe SEOSS value VI lut
tured products has quadrupled in the
past thirty years; that is, it has in
creased from a little more than S.,
900, 000,0 900 in 1880 to more than $780,
000,000,000 in 1910 Finally, the CAPT
tai invested has increased from $4,000
100000 in 1870 to 0,000,000,000 in
1900, or nearly 500 per cent in thirty
years.
A summary of these changes shows
a most striking condition of affairs.
We find that the number of wage earn
ers is increasing annually consider
ably faster than the total population
of the country, and the gross value of
the manufactured product as well as
the total capital invested is increasing
out of proportion to the increases in
the gross population. On the face of
these facts, an unusual development
in the industrial world becomes clear
ly apparent This development, in the
light of definite figures, stands out as
a large factor in the industrial situa-
ton of today as compared with that of
say thirty years ago.-American Ma
chinist.

THE NATIONAL GUARD.

The employers want to inculcate dis
cipline in their employees, and they
know that obedience to a superior of
ficer will do It, They want effective
slaves. Military drill will give them
what they want. They want hired
murderers to kill for the protection of
their holy profits. They either hire
thugs and gunner, such as in Colora-
do, and dress them up as militiamen,
or they seduce the workers to do the
dirty work for them.
There is a love for tinsel latent in
all of us. We like the glitter and the
music of the soldiers. We are not hun
cry enough to join the army. We have
work We have serious things to do.
SO we play at being soldiers. We join
the so-called National Guard, as citi-
zen soldiers. We go through the mo-
tions, we march and countermarch, we
camp, and we think it great fun. I'm
til
Then the citizen soldiers are called
upon to do the dirty work, and they
find that they are all soldier and no
citizen.

And it's the same with the militia
They are business men, they are work
ers, they are thoroughly respectable,
until the band begins to play, until the
working class tries to improve its lot,
until a strike breaks out.
There they are, on Memorial Day,
dressed in fine uniforms, marching
faultlessly, happy at the appearance
that they are making. And behind
each smiling face is grinning deaths
head, deaths head for the working
class should it attempt to cry for more
bread, sorrow and death for wives and
children.
The enlightened working class
therefore shuns the militia with a
thoroughness that is only matched by

How long will It take us to get rich

The question naturally arises, how
does 1t come that when Americans
ship more goods away they receive
less money in? The answer Is found
in the fact that European capitalists
are heavy investors in America, and
take away the gold and silver as in
terest and dividends.
The tribute levied on the people of
the United States today Is many times
greater per capita than 1t was in the

a SUGGESTION.

Sir-Gn the November Scrbner's
Theodore Roosevelt writes:
81 was informed by entirely trust
worthy people that in swimming cattle
across a river savage hippos had been
known to assail and kill them"
Why do the hippos swim their cattle
across a river? And why do they de-
stroy their own property?

account of a shipwreck: "Being swept
from stem to stern by tremendous
waves the captain abandoned the

ADJUSTING THE BALANCES.

We export from $5O0,000,000 to $780,
100000 worth of products of various
kinds to Europe every year, and re-
ceive in imported goods from $780,
900 600 to $4OO,OOO,0O0 in return. How
is the balance settled?
Not all transactions between Amer
lea and foreign nations involve an
actual exchange Of money, because
there is a system of bank clearances
III vogue international the same as
there is between different sections of
this country, that merely balance
many accounts.
However, there is a shipment of
bullion gold and silver at certain
periods to equalize the differences
This bullion is sometimes shipped to
Europe from America
There is in this a surprising condi-
ton that seldom receives considera-
ton. In spite of the fact that great
deal more goods are exported from
lSeuJ Out Oh me Oull6u DldISS ludH
are imported or shipped in, more bull
lion is shipped to Europe than is re-
turned to America. One would natur-
ally think the reverse would be true.
Let us take the official reports of all
transactions for 1912, including ship
ments not only to and from Europe,
but also to and from all other coun-
tries. We find the total exports to
be $2,2O4, 332,49; the total imports, ST.
653 4,934, Total exports of bullion,
$122, 219, 013; total imports of bullion,
$95, 986,719, 1t is generally assumed
that we are better off when we export
more than we import. The fact is, we
have sent away real values and re-
ceiVe only representative values or
money. Yet in 1912 we sent out an
excess of 1851, O57, ATS worth of actual
values, and instead of being ahead of

MISUSE OF PRISON LABOR.
Exploitation of Convicts to Cease In
Chicaqos Brdewell.

SniCagOS pTiUcWclls
The announcement that after May l
the contract system of disposing of
the prison labor in the bridewell will
be abolished. and that earnings of a
man serving a sentence, after mainte-
nance charges have been deducted, will
go to his dependents. is encouraging.
The misuse of prison labor has long
been a blot upon the community. 1t
thrived not because there was any
merit or justice in it, but because GER
tain politicians and their friends had
to make easy money at the expense of
the public some way.
There is much work to be done for
the city that can be done by the pris-
oners in the bridewell. They can man
ufacture number of articles and ma
terials for which the city now goes to
private employers.
Aside for the financial saving to the
community, however, the abolition of
prison labor contracts is certain to
elevate the tone OF the prisoner. He
is likely to come out a better man
after his term in the bridewell has
expired. The self respect which comes
from being employed at useful labor
and of getting the prevailing rate of
wages is incalculable. 1t has proved
so in other states. Chicago Tribune.

LABOR AND TRUSTS.

Organizations of laborers exist
because of human needs. They
seek human welfare and better
ment. They control only hu-
man labor power, one insepara-
BILE from their very life.
Commercial and industrial as
sociations are organized for prof
its. They seek industrial con-
troll. supremacy over competitors.
They deal in material things-the
products of labor.
Labor power is part of hui
man beings. 1t is throbbing.
pulsating life.
Material things are for the
service of human beings. They
are external and appropriate.
To classify organizations of hui
man laborers who possess only
the power to labor with organ
izations which deal in the prod
ucts of that labor and to place
both kinds of organizations I'M
der the same regulation estab-
fishes conditions that can result
only in injustice.
1t is against the injustice of in
terpreting the Sherman antitrust
act to apply to organizati tons of
workingmen organized not for
profit that the workers have
made their protest. - American

again.
More than that, he is henpecked.
The primeval brute who whipped his

There is a reason. Mrs. Choate
weighs 200 pounds. At the first sign

and announced that if Choate did
not behave he would do a little
blowing himself alongside some of
his mules. Choate got real good.

MOTHERS VISION OF
MINE MEANT FORTUNE

the clairvoyant prophecy Of their
mother. 1t was through her influ-
ence, due to vision, that the broth
ers continued work in the property,
after it had been abandoned as
worthless.
The Ashland mine was first leased
to the Penokee Development COM
pany. In 1899 it was abandoned as
worked out, and the Hayes brothers
had the property thrown back on
their hands as discredited "hole in
the ground"
The mother, however, in her home
in California, described to them the
conditions in the property, which
she had never seen. Accurately de-
scribing the drifts, she told the sons
where to work to find new ore
body. Her prediction came true af-
ter two years work, and this year
the mine will ship a heavy tonnage,
over 100000 tons having already
been sold.
