This is the real spirit of the mas

just go ahead and starve until you

what they tell you. Thus the lib

reveals itself in its true character as
an organ of the bosses and their

total for the year was S1,750,000. For
! the single month of January, 1880,
interest and dividend payments to-
tailed S1,120000. Fbr January and
February, 1880, the total was 1851
100000. In other words, interest and
dividend payments during the first
two months of 1880 were practically
equivalent to the total for the entire
year 113.
The year 1928 was a good year.
Interest and dividend payments for
the u months totaled $3,989,000 900.
The present period of hard times
began at the end of 1929. During
the latter year, however, the total
of interest and dividend payments
was 1929, 100000, or about one-quar-
ter greater than the payments for
1923. The year 1880 has been a year
of uninterrupted hard times for the
American masses. During the first
eight months the total of interest
and dividend payments was $685.

vious year in United States economic

are suddenly being pushed to the

The property owning class in the
United States will be able to claim
the year 1880 as the banner year in
the payment of unearned income.
The masses may feel the pressure of
hard times and shout their opposi-
ton on the street corners until they
are run in by the plice. The prop
erty owners feel themselves secure
behind a barrier of corporation sur
pluses that continue to pay them

NEW YORK.-The New York Tele-

page spread, which will probably be
repeated in all Scripps- Howard pa
pers, an essay by Macaulay for the
Edinburgh Review, printed in 1880.
Scripps-H Howard enthusiastically en-
dorses the essay as applying in this
period of crisis, with millions unem-
ployed.
The heart of the argument, which
this so-called liberal" corporation
thinks is good for us is in the fol-
lowing extract:
Manufacturers will best promote
the improvement of the people by
strictly combining themselves to their
own legitimate duties, by leaving
capital to find its most lucrative
course, commodities their fair price,
industry and intelligence their nat
ural reward, idleness and folly their

Wall St. Magazine Worried About U.S.SR.

Magazine of Wall Street concludes by
admitting on world scale battle

say, was that it is up to the bankers,
the industrialists and the business
leaders of America to demonstrate
the superiority of our system to that
fthe SoNets by making it incom-
parably better"
The way the bosses make their sys-
tenn "incomparably" better is by try
ing to force 100000 unemployed to
starve to death; cut wages 20 per
cent for all workers, Just as an appe-
tier, and then Jail, murder and slug

are doing down in companies be-
fore the keen cutting tools of 1880
bankruptcies. Ever since 1922 re-
ports of business failures have aver
aged around 10000 per year. Until
the present year the banner total
was 23,600 failures In the first quar-
ter Of $50 there we're 1858 failures;
6,40S in the second quarter; and
5,904 in the third quarter In short,
durin gthree quarters of 100 there
have been approximately 10000 COM

dication that the total for the year
will run we'll above $4,000, an unpre-

relieves the bosses of any expense for
