CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION

Extreme want can exist where there
is bounteousness of production just as
we'll as it can exist where there is
scarcity of production. People can
starve, and. do starve, where the bins
and store shelves are crammed with
plenty for sale as well as where there
is a paucity for sale. 1t all depends
on the way we manage the distribu-
ton.
If the people are gouged out of
part of their earnings by being under
paid and overcharged, they will fall
short in their buying; for their earn
ings are what they buy with. Cheat
the people out Of one-fourth of their
earnings and they, will buy only to
three-fourths extent. The other fourth
will pile up in the marts of trade as
'over-production, - so-called. This will
happen whether the production of
season be vast or small.
The living standard of the people is
gauged by the wayethey are rewarded
for producing.
Nature Furnishes us for our foolish
ness in hindering labor from buying
up to its earning power by visiting it
with lack and poverty. 1t Furnishes
capital by piling it up surpluses for
which there is no ready sale. 1t ag-
gravates these conditions by bringing
on the slowing down of mills, with con-
sequent unemployment. 1t produces
the unsatisfactory conditions which ex-
ist in the world to-day.
The trust profiteers tell us that we
can produce faster than we can cor
sumo. That is what the trouble is with
US. This is the rankest of fallacy. Re-
ward the people equitabIy and they
will buy to such a degree as to leave
no unconsumed surpluses to give an
noyance to both labor and capital.
A hundred per cent of buying with
wage earnings can prevail only where
a hundred per cent Of wage reward
prevails.
Under-rewarding Of the many and
over-rewarding the few hasn't another
effect in the world than that Of switch
ing productions into a condition OF
non-uhlity. and waste,

ANcIENT Irish LAW

This Irish law was not produced BY
a process resembling legislation, but
grew up gradually round the dicta and
judgments of the most famous Bre-
hons. There are only four periods
mentioned in the entire history of Ire
land when special laws were said to
have been enacted by legislative au-
thority. The great mass of the Brehon
i code appears to have been traditional,
or to have grown up with the slow
growth of custom. Law enforcement,
as we understand it, that is, police,
courts, jails, ETC.. is entirely absent
from the Brehon code. No sanction is
laid down in the laws against those
who violate them, and there was no
state of the modern type to provide
any such action. When a Brehon
heard case and delivered his judg-
ment, there was no official means of
forcing the litigant to accept it. The
only executive authority which law be-
hind the decision of the judge was the
traditional obedience and good sense
of the people. The transactions Of
the Brehons, however, appear to have
always been accepted by the common
people, and the public saw to it that
the Brehon's decisions were carried
out. There can be no doubt whatever
that the system trained an intelligent
and law-abiding people.
Even Sir John Davies. the Elizabeth
an jurist, and a hard critic Of most
things Irish, confesses there is no ma
ton or people under the sunne that
doth love equal and indifferent JUS
tive better than the Irish; all will rest
better satisfied with the execution
thereof, although it be against them
selves, so that they may have the pro-
lection and benefit of the law when
they do desire it. When a man re-
manned recalcitrant to the will of the
people, there was only one thing prac-
ticed-the community withheld itself
from such person. Or the commun-
ity saw that such a man withdrew him
self from it, and it showed him pre-
.cisely what it meant. In English par
lance. it sent him to Coventry" A
contemporary Irish writer has drawn
attention to the fact that the we'll
known case of Captain Boycott in Ire
land is an illustration of the operation
of this old Brehon law; perhaps not
put into effect knowingly by the COM
munity, but the unconscious expression
of tradition lying dormant in the
minds of the people.-M. Garvin, in
the B. c. Federationist.
