He looked pret'ty tough, and told me he had just gotten out of jail.

He had served out a sentence of ten days imprisonment for being a "vag." as they call it. That is, because he was out of money, and out of a job, and his clothes were pretty well worn, we put him in jail, and make him wear out his clothes still more and make him look still tougher. Great laws, those vagrancy laws.

He is smart young fellow, too. Has a genius for making money, and has a professional education that would enable him, in ordinary times, to make a good living if he had to begin without a dollar. He has an uncle out in the country whose children are likely to go hungry this summer if this dry weather keeps un, and yet the uncle, in the capacity of a farmer, performs service far more necessary than the work the young man does.

Before I could answer Dick was walking off witli the Quincy street man whose idea of what he calls "Practical Christianity" is to close his eyes to suffering and pretend to believe that nobody need suffer if he will just imagine that he does not.

Rockefeller thinks his great philanthropy consists in the 700 million dollars he has paid out in wages. As these wage-earners gave full value in return (and possibly a little over) they can now through out their chests and claim to be as gnod philanthropists as Mr. Rockefeller. Topeka Daily Capital. Yes, and if the degree of philanthropy is measured by the amount of wealth one has given to him, the workingmen are several thousand times greater philanthropists than Mr.

Rockefeller ever thought of being. their employment. Say, old man, if men can break into the white house with such notions as that, there is no hope for the man that thinks; be couldn't even get a back seat in the hot place. If the people were kept at work and their wages raised until they were equal to the total price of all goods on the market, production would not have to be restricted, and tramps would disappear. The people could buy back all they produced, and the market could never become glutted.

But that wouldn't suit the plutcs, for, of course, if the people could buy back all they produced except the wear and tear of the machinery, and a little chicken feed for the plutes there would be nothing left for "profits." And "profits" are things of divine right. I'll wager my hat that, outside of socialist ranks, nine hundred and ninety nine out of every thousand people believe a man has a natural right to make a profit, no matter how wealthy that profit may in time make him, off of the goods for which he acts as agent between producer and consumer. But the mathematics of the present industrial system show that such a thing is bound to produce untold suffering. Say, I want you to look at a couple of women coming toward us. That one with the hat coming down over other.

They view with delight a situntion which puts at their mercy all industries dependent on steel. But they deceive themselves, and an awakening is ahead of them. They have staked $1,100,000,000 on a single set of workingmen. To pay interest on their vast capital they must earn more than $75,000, 000 a year.

Their trust can only exist, they can only pay those dividends, so long as their army of workmen consent to make steel. They have put all the steel plants into one organization. They have also put all the steel workers into one organization. The capable leader of that vast army of men may not be visible to day. But he is bound to appear.

Great opportunity always finds the great man. When the man shall appear capable of acting as leader of the steelmakers, you will see the head of the steel trust and not before. When one hundred concerns made steel, a strike in one concern meant little. Ninety concerns were at work. But Rockefeller's genius has forced every able steelmaker into one great organization.

How will Rockefeller's genius reply when he shall find himself confronted hy a leader able to say: "Mr. Rockefeller, I represent all the men in America capable of making steel. I am, therefore, as you will readily understand, the head of the trust first bom of the billion dollar class for individual study. Who is the real head, the permanent head, of the steel trust? Do you say J. Pierpont Morgan? Wrong.

He arranged the financial deal which sold to the public various steel concerns for ten times what they cost. He was paid a commission of $13,000, 000 or $14,000,000 for his 40 days' work at organizing, and that limits his headship of the steel trust. Do you say John D. Rockefeller? Still wrong. Rockefeller's genius for monopoly undoubtedly conceived the great trust.

Only his financial strength could have carried out the great undertaking. Morgan acted as Rockefellers' agent, and Rockefeller's pocket controls the trust's future in so far as mere finance can control it. But not Morgan or Rockefeller or all the power of all the hanks and of all the great fortunes controls the steel trust now that it is born. The ruler of the steel trust is the man who can control the tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of human beings engaged in the production of steel. The great financiers have congratulated themselves on putting all their The thin end of the wedge of Socialism was inserted in the British house of commons a few weeks ago, by J.
