and the wool and the meat, hides, etc.
Those who live IN the big cities
are practically all dependent upon the
efforts of those who live IN the coun.
try, and IN the small towns They
do not produce anything In compar
ison with the work Of those who wrest
from the soil the bountiful offerings
OF Nature. II is the work of those
who lives in the cities to figure out
how they can obtain that which IL
produced by the country people-how
they can iuggle the values Of this
produot-how much money they can
make out OF 1t, etc. They do not
produce anything.
They are the parasites. Without
the country people there would be no
cities. There would be no occasion
for cities because there would be moth
ing to support them.
So IT is the plan Of the universe. as
laid down by our rules and laws. that
certain big proportion of the people
shall toll and spin while the smaller
proportion shall exact the greater
part of that which is produced by the
toilers and make a profit sufficient to
enable them 70 live In luxury while
the toilers toll on, continuously
It Is not the toilers and spinners
who take the .rips 10 Europe. It is
not the toilers and spinners who get
up in the morning at nine o'clock and
who spend their evenings at the thea
ters, cafes and cabarets, drinking
wine and playing cards.
The toilers and spinners get out of
bed when the family alarm clock out
in the hen-house tells them day is
breaking. They have no time for the
theater or the cafe or the cabaret. |
It's a case of hustle" all the time. 1t
is vital that every working hour in
the day shall be utilized in order to /
produce" that which the scheme Of |
our life in the present day provides /
must be produced to keep the whole
machinery of civilization in motion.
What would happen to the people .
in the cities if this whole scheme /
should become disarranged-if there .
did not arrive in the cities, on sched.
ule time every day, the train loans
of cattle, grain, milk and all sorts of
country produce. And the mail bags
filed with orders for the mail order
houses.
What would happen? There would
not long remain any citizens because
they would starve, these parasites, if
the source of supplies should be cut
off.
And all of these supplies come from
the country, from the people in this
community. You do your full share
toward supplying the cities.
Especially do you send your share
Of the orders for the mail order
houses, with the cash.
There is a strange partnership be.
tween the people Of the country and
the people Of the city, a partnership
which, carefully analyzed, shows the
following working agreement:
The country people shall delve and
Zig and toll and then hasten to ship
heir product to the city partner, who
axes possession and disposes Of the
iame to the best possible advantage
to himself). He then hands out to
he country partner, begrudgingly and
requently only in case of a suit at
aw, a small part Of the proceeds.
Then you, the country partner, send
his pittance back to the city. to the
nail order house with an order.
Such is the result of a bald and
analysis of the partner
hip between farm and city. after
pplying the acid test.
Individual exceptions do not change
