BISHOP GAMBLERS MESSAGE

the name of Labor" and Capital"
ISM is to talk of that which does
not permanently exist in our coun-
try, whatever may be the case in
other lands. There are no such fixed
classes among us, and the terms have
no corresponding realities.
2. In the second place, it is an
unfounded assumption to conceive all
the laborers on one side of the mar
ket, and all the employers Of labor
on the other side. Capitalists are
in competition with one another, and
laborers frequently lay burdens upon
each other. For example, if the
wages Of coal miners are raised, and
the price of coal is advanced, every
laborer who uses coal must pay
higher price for it, and thereby the
cost of his living is raised. In like
manner, If the employees of railways
are given increased wages, both
freight and passenger rates must be
raised, and thereby other 1aborers
are made to pay a part OF the in
creased wages paid to those who oper-
ate the railways. If the railways
are operatde by the government, as
has been the case in our country
during the past year, and deficit
is made by reason of increased wages,
all the people, including wage-earn-
ers, are taxed to meet the deficit.
It is said that the railways of our
country made a deficit of about $780,,
100000 the first year after their oper-
alton by the government, and that
this deficit arose from increased
wages paid to the operators of the
roads. If the figures are correct,
then an average Of $3.50 each must
be levied in the form of taxes upon
every man, woman and child in the
United States to make good this loss
Of $250,000,000 which arose from in
creasing the wages of railway opera
tives.
Let US take another illustrations:
The governor Of Kansas belabors the
cotton planters of the south\ for
wishing to raise the price of cotton
he makes no complaint with refer
ence to the high price Of wheat
guaranteed by the government to the
wheat producers Of his own state.
It is evident that the man who has
cotton to sell and wheat to buy is
on the opposite side Of the market
from the man who has wheat to
be organized into common agri-
cultural union, but by no process can
they escape the fact that the raising
of the price of that which each pro-
duces, raises the cost of living to
both. If cotton should sell at 30
cents per pound, ana wheat at Sz.lV
per bushel, then it would take seven
pounds of cotton to buy one bushel
| Of wheat. If the price of cotton be
raised to 40 cents per pound and the
price of wheat to $3.50 per bushel,
it still requires seven pounds Of cot
ton to buy one bushel of wheat, and
the wheat producer and the cotton
| producer are still on opposite sides
of the market.
TT ia OhUjOnS therefore, that II

lars. fnanciers say there is much to
be said for the plan.
France and Italy are quietly study
ing the variations of such a pro-
poSa1.
With money scarce in Europe,
capital has been regarding the COM
ing years as a golden opportunity"
in which to use its money to best
advantage.
However, an eminent American
economist, who has been studying
European political as well as finan-
cial conditions, said:
There is not a shadow of a
doubt that men with money, capital
generally, everywhere in Europe,
would far rather see a capital levy
to, wipe out say half the European
debt, than they would to see an era
of political chaos or experiments in
these new-fangled disasters
European radicals are urging a
capital levy graduated to hit the big
fellow hardest, as the American in
come tax is graduated.
