PROSPERTIY.
Although tlio country has boon al
most universally credited with the
l
enjoyment of great prosperity during
tlie past year or so, it requires no ex
haustive investigation of the actual
conditions to disclose that much of
the alleged prosperity is to a groat
j extent fictitious.
It Is true that our export trade bal
|M
anees are overwhelmingly in favor of
this country and that millions on
millions of gold have been jioured
into the hanks and subtreasuries, but
taking It. on the whole, might; lltth
of this tremendous flood of treasure
has found is way into the pockets of
I the generality.
In other words it is not real pros
perity in the degree that it does nq.t
touch the great mass of the people.
^ The munitions makers have made
j vast fortunes; numerous producers
and dealers In Iron and leather and
textile manufactures have grown
I rich supplying the war demands of
Kurope but it cannot be said with
verity that the American people as a
whole have reaped any particular ben
( eflt. Such prosperity looks very
well on the balance sheets and in the
newspapers but, as long as It does
j not place an additional loaf on the
table of the major portion of the Am
erican homes or provide an extra pair
of shoes for the thousands of kiddies
throughout the nation, there is a very
serious doubt as to Its genuineness.
Another thing which also has great
bearing on the question of whether
fr not we are really enjoying pros
perity lies in the permenancy or non
permanency of the conditions on
which our supposed prosperity Is
built. Ileal national prosperity is
genef-nlly founded upon stable, or
near stable, conditions. No merely
transitory access of commerce or
business can bring prosperity to more
than a few persons unless continued
over a long period of time—In which
event It can hardly be termed transi
tory.
Heal prosperity, the prosperity
which fills the dinner palls of the
tolling masses, is founded on stable
things—not on such things as war
munitions and the general disorganl
I
zatlon of international sirlfc. Condi- j
tions may develop from such tilings
which in outward appearances might
l>e HuggeKtlve of great prosperity but
unless tlie bulk of the people receive
a benefit therefrom there 'is no real
national prosperity.
It must he admitted that the al
leged prosperity of the United States
is built almost entirely upon the mu
nitions trade with Europe and will
inevitably end with the close of the
war. And, if it should end tomorrow,
what then would become of our wide
ly advertised prosperity? A few per
sons would lie rtcher but the great
hulk of the people would be not one
whit better ofT than they were before
even though this so-called prosperity
has endured two long years.
Prosperity based upon such evane
scent things is not real prosperity
any more than the house is strong
that is builded upon shifting sands.
No matter If it be builded of steel or
granite it Is still no stronger than
its foundations and will Inevitably
crumble and break and finally fall,
if its foundations give.
Outside of those engaged in indus
tries contributing directly to the war
needs of the European belligerents,
very few people In the United States
have seen so much as a farthing's
worth of this supposed prosperity. On
the contrary, the rank unit file of tho
American people have been compelled
to endure all variety of hardships
and to scrimp and save as they have
never done before. Not even in the
times of greatest stress wrhcn business
was at a standstill and panic was
abroad in the land, have the masses
of the country been compelled to
endure ns much as they have dur
ing this alleged period of unprece
dented prosperity.
The war may have brought prosper
ity all 1'ight but it is prosperity for
the few and has brought in its train
a variety of ills from which the Am
erican people never suffered before.
A prosperity which brings bread
riotsand the harrowing sight of thou
sands of women fighting their way
through the sleet covered, wintry
Htreets to Invoke (lie assistance of
the government to sh'ield them and
their little ones from the gaunt spec
ter of hunger stalking before their
doors is not real prosperity tint only
a counterfeit resemblance.
