THE WEALTH MAKERS A.ugust 9, Co operation vs. Competition Editor WEALTH MakkjVJ: Wishing to shedllgbt on the labor problem, I think the easiest way of en lightening the masses W to put them a few questions. Is work or production not depending upon consumption. Is consumption not limited by the income of the people? Do not the wage-work-ers form an overwhelming majority of the world's population, whose combined looomes represent only a small part of their product.? Can that majority con ami more than a small part of Us pro ducts? Is the Inability of worker to consume not as much if not more re sponsible for the agricultural depression tban the contraction of the currency? Tbe farmers and all kinds of tollers forming nine-tenths of the population, and their combined incomes being less thai half the value of their products, o thin nin.tonths consume half their oroducts? Do orjan the wealthy, who receive the lion's share of labor pro ducts, consume their share? If they do not, or oannot consume their share ol products, must not work or production be stopped to correspond wl'n the mnnntnf unnonsumedKOods? If every wealthy person consumed his share of labor products, would mere do any in their wealth? Would it be possible to carry on production (or to employ men) by means of improved machinery if there was no concentiated wealth, without resorting to oo or tion? Is our present Industrial system possible any longer, when on one hand tbe workers are prevented from working because they cannot consume their pro ducts; and tbe wealthy few do not and cannot oonsume tbelr Hon share, and if, on the other banf, the rich did con sume tbe products of labor as fast as rtoelved by thew production by means of Improved machinery would be im possible, because there would be no capital to run the Industries? Does not every cent of income represent a cent's worth of labor product? Does not every cent saved, represent a cent's worth of goods that at some time help ed glut the markets? Is not accumulat ed wealth unpaid labor, and the cause of so-called over production which is really nothing else than under consump tion? Do not those who never earn their salt In their soup and spend more in a day than a worker's family in a year own three-quarters ol all the wealth? How dll they get that wealth without creating any? Is not private property in real estate, means pf pro duction and distribution, or rent, inter est, and net profits, the cause of accu mulated wealth and ol slavery? win the issue of money by tbe goyernment and free coinage of silver do away with hard times without doing away with private property in real estate, means of - production and distribution? In other words will it be possible to do away with the effect, without removing the root of the evll-whlch is private property in real estate, means of production and distribution? Would even a small In crease of production ever have occurred If the wealth producers, instead of reoeivlng part of their products for their labor, bad been co-operating and thereby secured the full product to themselves? If all were forced to pro duoe under national oo-operatlon, would not the national wealth be enormously increased? AH predictions being car ried on by means of Improved machinery and steady progress of improved machinery, especially the generating of electrioity fr m waterfalls in the near future, throwing thousands out of employment every day, how will the wacre-workers be benefited by cheaper money foi the employers? Will not the employers keep for themselves ail tbe benefits of cheaper money through the operation of trusts? Would the loaning of money by the overnment at a i mall lnt-rest and free ciinage of sliver not cause an increase in the value of real estate, especially land, to the benefit of present owners, thereby off setting ta future buyers the advantages of cheaper money? Will freo coinage of sliver create prosperity without a re action in a few years? Is not the ever becoming fieroer struggle far industrial supremacy between tho nations of the world, forcing Aroerfoan improved machinery upon Europe? Will not tho introduction of improved machinery in Europe throw three-quarters of all it waa-tt-alav-souicf employment? Would free coinage of silver not double In ipenw of living to the laborers of Kurope, without a chance of higher crow J. d a Kumpe is and fully uveKp'4 a It oatural resources art?

' These are the questions which the voters of this county have to study be fore tbe labor problem can be solved with satisfaction to all. I understand as well as any man in this broad land the deviltry of our abominable mone tary system. But I claim that whether little or plenty of money is in circula tion. It is only a questlonmf a few years more or less for the producers to lose there all under a system that allows private property in real estate, means of production and distribution. It is not more money that we want so much (for it was by means of money that slavery was firmly established and only by the use of money that slavery and opulence Is possible) as the abolition of private propertj and the nationalization of all property. It Is the destruction of the roots of the evil troethat we want more than the stripping off of some of its leaves. If the People's party did not advocate national railroads, mines, etc., I would have to declare its financial platform a failure as a cure, however much I do support it now as the party that will bring relief of unequal burdens. Study this over and over. For the benefit of those who cannot grasp all these questions I will answer them later and prove the absolute necessity of co operation. AUGUST Stobme. San Diego, Cals.
