The daily Nome industrial worker., 1916-04-10

Most instructive is it now and then to gcncralize the various po- licies which the great dailios refa ing the interests that support them, advocate. Business-super organl- zation-Pan Americanism world trade--business eficiency-world fl- nancial and commercial dominance
 Great objects are all these things for the few who are great, and the papers reflect the notion that this greatness of the Morgans, tho Rocke- fellers the Schwabs, the Vanderlip5, the Carnegies will be shared by ali the people.
 Moreover tho belief prevails that notwithstanding what great develop ments may occur. American demo- cracy and American ideals of free dom will in spite of all, persist.
 That's the most peculiar feature of it all. It is held as inevitable that super-organization will lead to nnals- ing the wealth of the wealthy still more collosal-will center in the hands of the great men of Wall Street the financial control of the world and that the principles of Am erican democracy will remain sta- tionary and there will be no change.
 That's the unocientific aspect ot the social and commercial and finan- ciai reviews that from time to timo appear in the papers.
 1t is easily seen that financial and commercial and industrial activities will evolve to a plane hitherto never ottained, but that the political structure that prevails when was neither financial nor commercial supremacy will still persist without any evolution whatsoever.
 Now that simply is not possible. Invariably the political structure of any nation reflects herewith the eco- homie structure, and kept even step in evolution with it. They went together. And how men made their living and whether they were ln- pendent meant invariablq how also they would be politically inde- pendent also. It's worth while con- sidering the outlook as reflected in the papers with such considerable degree of pride.
 Thus it is stated that America Is to be the greet financial center of the world. That the financial capital heretofore ccntercd at London will pass to New York. What does that mean? Does it mean th2t the peo- ple of the United States will obtain more money than they n2d boforeE Docs it mean that the workers will be paid higher wages and that tho people of the United States will have have at their disposal glCbulaT millions to aid in tho pursuit of happiness, to lcngthen their lives thus made more happy and to make liberty broader and fuller in the everyday conception of tho terms? 1t means nothing of the kind. And it never did. It means that . few men who can be tall.od on your fingers, will rise to Q financial grand cur never yet has boon roached by any other men. Just as the world increases in woalth--so clso must ;'ose who control that wealth ne richer and more powerful men than cvor before.
 It is stated thnt an era of un- procedented industrial greatness and world control of markets will follow to the United States. This means that few great firms orga- nized in syndicates that have a practical monopoly will reach pro- ductive and profit making capacity that, hitherto never before has, been reached. It doesn't mean that every little manufacturer struggling to keep his head above the industrial tide; every little business man that just get along because the Bank allows him, will have prosperity hurled at his, gates in chunks be- yond -~ the dreams of avarice. It means that so great and so powerfui and so dominant will the trusts be. come that they will dictate the con- ditions of industry wages and activities to all and Isundry.. It means the continued centralization Of power and of wealth in the hands of few; 1t means the domination
