Editor Wealth Maeeiuj:
Will you be kind enough in your able
journal to answer the following ques
tion: "Can any man or worran earn in
no ordinary life time, honestly, one
million dollars under the present situa
tion of our social system" Thia ques
tion may aopear to some of your readers
a little peculiar, yet It seems to me a
very interesting query, as a great many
popple are being agitated ever a true
solution of it. - A Old Ma.
We answered this question some twe
years ago, and answered it in the nega
tive, giving reasons. The question,
what a man earns or can earn, is not
answered by referring to what he is
paid by or take from his fellowmen.
He is pld for his servlcei no more than
men aro obliged to py hire; or be takes,
if he is employer, capitalist or monopo
list, all that he has power to take. The
question what a man may earn, is a
question disregarded In commercial re
lations, end what be can command is
what be gets, whether be labor or not.
Tho question which ought to be con
sldcrcd, but which in business exchang
es never is, 1 the question cffTct
euuitv. moral oeueauen .i uamriu
rights.
Can any one hofctly earn
a million
dollars?
A Tlllloa 'dollars is a raUlion days'
work at a dollar a day, and a dollar i
day is about tho average wage. Reck
onlng 300 working days in the year and
tl 00 a day the wages paid, a man would
have to work hard 3,333 years to be
Bsld 11.000.000. and if. with the most
rigid, suffering economy, he saved one
-IF t
third of hli watres he would need to
ivo and work 10,000 years to accumu
late $1,000,000. Mut the working period
of mn's lives Is only about forty years,
and to obtain a million dollars in forty
years, and secure it equitably, one must
create with his own labor the value equiv
alent of Iffi.OOO a year for forty years,
and to honestly accumulate a million he
would need to earn, produce,
create
enough la twit of 125,000 a
year to
live on.
There are 4,047 millionaires and
multi-millionaires in the United States
whose plaoes of residence and occupa
tion, or ways by wnlch tbeir money has
been obtained, have been published by
tho New York Tribune. The people
pay them lor tbeir alleged services from
$50,000 to $12,000,000 each a year.
But how did they obtain uch vast
wealth?
By buying bends at a discount or with
depreciated paper; by loaning the peo
ple's money (deposits), tbeir own money,
and by drawing interest on tbeir own
debts their btwk note, which the
government as a special favor endorses.
The banks pay from 5 to 7 per cent.
quarterly (20 to 28 per cent, yearly)
dividends to their stockholders, whose
only labor for these dividends consists
electing a board of bank directors.
Do the millionaire bankers thus eara
what they force the borrowing class to
pay them?
The other ways by which millionaires
are made are by monopolizing city real
estate; getting possession of transporta
tion, telegraph and telephone monopo
lies; monopolizing the output and prices
of oil, coal, irou, steel, copper, lead,
lnsced oil, cotton seed oil, twine,
barbed wire, refined sugar, Sio., &o ,
&0 ; buying up the timber tracts and
dictating prices et lumber; with large
capital securing entire control of the
stock buying, slaughtering and packing
business, also the milling and flour bus-
nees; by bolng allowed a monopoly of
the street transit business and city
Ighttog, and in other wajs too num
erous to mention advancing the prices
of the necessities of life and through
monopoly of land and lis forces reducing
the masses to dependence and compet
ing them to pay rent and aocept starv
ation wages and prices.
These fact?, familiar to all, establish
the truth of our proposition, that what
man earns is a very different thing
from what be gets.
But somo one suggests that Mr. Edi
son Is a millionaire, and that no one
can doubt "his right to retatu his dol
lars, every one of them, as honest com
pensation for his industry, persever
ance, Indomitable win, ana natural
ability."
Suppose we submit his presumed
right to a careful analysis. He has
worked no harder than the ordinary
working man. Thea why should he be
paid moro for his product? His pro
ductlswotth moro. It it? But what
are your standards of measurement?
Are tbey labor standards? What mor
al right has Mr. EJlsoa to charge for
the Inlalte, tireless, fredy-glven force
of nature which his God-given natural
blllty hat enabled him to harness to
machinery?
Dies tbe electricity belong to Mr
Jlson, er to the poople collectively,
heeaufe given equally to them? Ikws
his ability bnlnng to hlmtelf, or to his
Creator? It to his Cra'pr, he U under
this law of JuttcA, "I'hou shall love

SOKE COURTEOUS QUESTIONS ASIED
"Me it not a silver man, neither is he
a gold bug. He stands squarely on tne
Republican platform of U-metallism."
Our esteemed evening contemporary,
Tbe News, thus writes of Judge Field,
and believes bim "the strongest man
the Republican can name" for congress
to represent this district.
Not a silver man, and yet not a gold
bug a Republican bl-metalllst!
May we ask ihe News to kindly in
terpret its platform and tell us what a
Republican bl-metallist is?
Do tho sold butrs all stand on the
Democratic platform?
Are there two kinds of Republican
bi metalllsts, the kind who vote with
John Sherman, and tbe kind who with
Teller and Wolcott , vote against the
other?
i
If Ibx-rtfire' Iwo or more kinds of M-
imetjilliits who call themselves Rjpubll
can bi-metallists, the people of this dis
trict are interested to know which sort
Judge Field should Declared with.
An . -dioary bl-metalllst, who is not
runninir for oflice. we conceive to be a
blleverin gold and silver standard
money coined at the lgal ratio of 18 to
1. And standard money we understand
to bo a legal tender for all dobts and
dues, public and private.
Does Judge Field or tbe News favor
selling United States bonds to buy gold
to exchange for coin promises when
there is an ample supply of standard
money in the Treasury to meet all obli
gations? Does a Republican bl-metallist believe
we can by act of congress decree wha'.
the poople of the United Slates -shall
use as standard money, and regulate its
value? or does he believe we must keep
our mints closed against silver until
European nations agree on a ratio of
bl-metallic coinage? Must we refuse to
stamp any more material into standard
money, gold excepted, until the gold
monopolists and usurers of America
and Europe find it for tbeir Interest to
add something besides gold and gold
promises to the currency?
What is the difference between a gold
bug and a Republican bl-metalllst?
LET U8 HAVE JUSTICE.
The tender-hearted rich (few In num
ber) continue to waste money giving
alms in Hscrimlnately. How much
better it would be if they should study
tho causes of poverty and go to work to
socure the rights of all I We need laws
which shall take away monopolistic
privileges from the few, laws that shall
prevent all robbery, and necessitate the
giving of things equal for things equal
Let us not admit for a moment that
wrongs' cannot be righted, and the
weaker Individual cannot be protected,
or that willing hands need to be kept
die. The world is not over-crowded.
All men are needed and have equal
rights. The interests of all men are
one, if they but knew It. If we have
the very rich we must have the wretch
ed, starving poor; but neither class is
needed or natual. There is something
better than the present method of pro
duction. Peace is better than war, co
operation than contest. Commercial
peace and a recognized interdependent
mutual interest will quadruple the aver
age and aggregate wealth. Consider,
too, that enough to gratify every legiti
mate desire is better than superfluous
riches, and that productive labor with
in the limits of individual strength is
good for all men. There can be, for the
able-bodied, no Intelligent self-respect,
honesty and happiness without it. Let
us "be Just before we are generous."
Let us make laws which shall secure to
the producers all that they produce,
thus forcing all idlers and thieves to
suffer or engage in honest work. We
shall then have no poor 'or rich able
bodied paupers to support.
SHALL THE PEOPLE EULE?
The railroads of Nebraska, during
the entire history of the State, have
taken a sleepless interest in State poli
tics. Their political tools, furnished
with annual passes, have been at work
In the primaries, have run the State
conventions, and almost without excep
tion railroad candidates have been elect
ed to the important offices. They have
maintained a lobby at the Capitol to
head off anti-railroad legislation, and
they have taken a much Interest to
name and elect corporation judges as
law makers. The occasional honest in
corruptible judge, like Maxwell and
Reese, they have hastened to get rid of,
manifesting their ce tuple to control of
the Republican conventions in turning
down thoe eminently honest tad able

Tbe people's representatives did all
they had power to do In the way of
making new laws, but Republican state
officials being still enthroned the laws
have only in part been executed. One
man has by his singular and sole decree
set aside the sovereign will of the peo

still plunder us at their pleasure. The

A PK0BLEM TOE THE W0RIEK8.
What is social science? What it Is, is
yet to be demonstrated, to the great
majority, but they will yet see that tbe
interest of each is tbe interest ef all,
and will make of the nation a vast in
dustrial society, organized for mutual
helpfulness out of the present compet
ing, warring, self-cenUred and enslav
ed units. It will require such changes
in our laws as are needed to make all
men, willingly or unwillingly, wealth
producers. The few who would .abuse
their liberty by preying upon others
will find it wholesomely circumscribed,
and the many now preyed upon will be
emancipated.
Social science will abolish destructive
occupations aud wasteful methods. It
will teach the most economisal way of
produclog and transporting tbe things
which gratify our natural desires. It
will make accessible to all the natural
materials of wealth and the forces
which help to produce it which nature
supplies, and will not only enable the
willing to always find work, but will
seture to each producer the full produel
of bis labor, or its equivalent Measured
by labor. It will thus remove fear ef
want from all, and so change eondltleas
as to take away nine-tenths of tke
causes of present temptation.
The changes in law to protect the
mentally weaker and clrenmsoribe tke
selfishly stronger, will be brought
about by the voluntary organization of
workers, of those who have interests in
common, for common defenoe and hale
fulness. It is fast dawning apon all
honest men that they have interests ia
common and must politically unite
against the non-workers, the monopo
lists aud all who prey upon the produc
ing class. No worker can leng stand
alone. Even the strong will be helped
by anion. So from both selfish and un
selfish standpoints there are the strong
est Inducements to join an organization
of tho industrial forces. .
WHAT ABE CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES?
The Chicago Advance, a Congrega
tionalist paper, "has asked a number of
well-known and successful business men
It It is possible to conduct business suc
cessfully on strictly Christian princi
ples." They of course answered, "Yes."
But what are "strictly Christian prin
ciples?" The whole Christian and moral law
Is SHmmel up In this command, "Thou
shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."
But will these men or any others
affirm that they are governed by this
law in their AujiiMjrola'.ion with their
their fellowmen? Show us the men
who in everyday buying and soiling
look out for the interests of those they
deal with as tbey do tor their own.
Show us the men who call not for the
world's standard of justice, but for the
Divine standard. Show nt the men who
refute to i;ala at others' expeace, who
will not increase In wealth which other'
toll produeei. Show ui the Chicago
business roei protested Christians In

GLAD TIDINGS FOR THE POOR
On page one of this paper will be
found a sketch of Prof. Herron at
teacher, and a condensed report of
three of his lecturet to the students of
Ion a college on a subject of very great
importance. The report is furnlabed
The Wealth Makers by Mr. T. O
Douglass, Jr., one of the ablest, mos
advanced students under Dr. Herron,
aoa ne win continue to report lor ns
bis lectures on subjects of interest te
our readers. Dr. Herron is grappling

lution of social questions the most pene
trating mind, the clearest insight, the
widest vision. lie stands today tbe
foremost philosopher and moral teacher
of the world, a man wbom the world
has desperate need ef and is asking to
hear. Ills book, only very recently
published, are greatly agitating tbe
English speaking people, and men 01
France have already called for French
translations.
The work which Dr. Herron has be
gun is the work of clearing away tho
misconceptions which through centuries
ci trustod tradition and universal cub
torn have covered out of sight tho
breadth of the oommandment of justice,
the essential spirit and obligations of
love. He is breaking down the defenses
of Injustice. He is proclaiming the
law of social organization as the law of
Individual and social salvation. He Is
calling for anlembodiment of law and
practice of love that shall "build the
old waste places" and "raise ud tha
foundations of many generations."
THE INIQUITY OF INEQUITY-
President Cleveland's veto of thn
Bland silver bill is a clear and cogent
statement of the financial condition of
our government and of the wsv in
which it is affected by the attempt to
fix by Congress a value for silver which
that metal does not command in the
world's market. Boston Con?ra?a',ion-
allst.
Here Is a sample in part of inexcus
able ignorance in a moral teacher, an
Ignorance of which the editors of near
ly all the religious papers are guilty.
That the value of gold is inherent and
divinely or naturally fixed, that is, in
irinslcally unchanging, is the teaching
of most of the dally papers of the conn
try, but merely because taught by them,
tor selfish reasons or ignorantly, justi
fies no one in advocating the perni
cious intrinsic value idea. The money
ouestioa is a moral question, and when
moral teachers take tbe extreme Im
moral (monopoly, ueury) side of it they
destroy confidence in their integrity
and fitness to teach.
This Boston religionist goes on to
show itself a blood-sucking goldbug,
and says In substance, tho currency
cannot be Increased without destroy
ing confidence and prosperity. He
therefore supports the gold monopolists
who desired a gold standard and de
monetized silver simply and solely that
they might draw off from the wealth
producers a larger stream of usury, the
usury which Jehovah, the God he pro
fesses to worship, curses as utterly ab
horrent and classes with most abomin
able practices.
A gold money basis on which to build
commerce is the narrowest, the struc
ture built on It Is most unsafe, the
panics and periods of stagnation it
causes are most frequent and severe,
and its inequalities of fortune are the
greatest possible. Usury (now called
Interest) Is the great foundation in
equity, iniquity, the principal basis fr
the support of the cumulating evils and
temptations which afiltct mankind.
We are anxiously waiting for tbe
Church leaders and believers in right
eousness to preach against it
We understand a fow small brained
professional attorneys undertook to rldi.
cule the judicial argument which we
made two weeks ago in support of a
"writ of prohibition" to prohibit Dundy
and ditsolve his Maximum Rate law in

a precedent close behind It, or it is
afra'd to move. It hasn't mind enough
to use the eternM principles of Justice
to make precedents. But It so hap

ment for a "writ of prohibition" against
Dandy and the railroads wis published,

fled to suit Dve Hill and the Eastern
manufacturers, it will be allowed to past
but not before.

One Tobe Castor, B. & M. Democrat,

ward as usual, but he is nnlv a na,.

railroad vote, and the railroad can al

Mr. Bryan asks the VfirT mrtt.fi
question, "who Is the Democratic party
r,o9.leT?,land or th0 moa who elected
him?" We give it up, and as It involves
some fine legal points we refer it to the
newly appeinted district attorney. If
Mr. Sawyer can render a decision upon
the question, satisfactory to his party
his fitness for his office will never after
wards be questioned.
Samples of the kind of roods that. tu
policy of the government has been mat
nfacturlng for a decade or more are
evidently not wanted at Washington
Coxey and his rough and ragged army
will not therefore reseive a very hearty
welcome. If they wore shiny shoes,
and a plug hat, and represented vast
capital it would be different.

Mr. Whitmere, the late Democratic
nominee for police judge of Lincoln, is
a very clever gentleman, and a fair
lawyer, but gold standard Democrats
are not in it, in Lincoln, to any great
extent, and especially when It come to
catching Populist votes. We suppose
however, his friend Morton will take
car of him for his self sacrificing dis
position. A. J. Sawyer's pole brought down the
district attorjey persimmon. Mr. Saw
yer Is a very reputable citizen and at
torney of Lincoln, but belong to the
gold standard administration elemeut
of hi party, and is rich. Butthese art
the reasons for his appointment. Per
haps if Calhoun had possessed $20,000
worth of paid up bank stock, and had
stifled his conscience on the money
question, he might have been Lincoln's
postmaster teday, instead of being com
pelled to seek other fields to make a
living. Sawyer waa Morton'a i
choice.
