IS PROSPERITY HERE?
—
Tho oft-repeated assurances of late'
emanating from the money overlords
that the present depression due to the
Great War is fu.s| passing away is a
comforting statement to tie sure, but
is not, on the whole, entirely satisfy
ing in the face of the fact that almost
every newspaper and letter arriving
front the outside tells of the most des
I crate industrial and economic con
ditions: of trade paralysis, bankruptcy, l
failures and a desperate and over
whelming want among the working
.■lasses. True such information is six
weeks or two months old but it is ex-(
tremely hard to believe that what is
described as the most pronounced
business and industrial depression in
tlic history of the country can be dis
sipated so suddenly as late telegrams
might lead us to believe. No doubt
there Is a vast improvement as com
pared fo the period shortly after the
beginning ofthe war, still it is more
titan likely that the greatest perron -
•age of such improvement is confined
largely to those industries tnest favor
ed by the necessities of war. tlie iron
and steel industries, arms and powder
manufactories and the various other
subsidary industries catering directly
to the armies and navies of the combat
ants While tills would undoubtedly
result in a vast flood of money pouring
into the country in the main it would
bo principally into the pockets of the
few and with little resultant benefit to
industry and tho people in general.
This does not mean prosperity to the
nation, nor would the fullest develop
ment of those industries benefit more
than a few sections and an infinitesi
mal part of the great mass of the
American people. Exports have in
creased to immense proportions, the
exchanges tell us, yet withal, it appears
• hat the same rule applies as the bulk
of such exports are largely of the class
of goods demanded directly by the war
ring armies This again does not tend
to confirm the view that prosperity,
with all that Hie word conveys, is. as
Secretary of the Interior I.ane. as
sorts. not only coming but is "already
here." While this miracle may have
happened, it is difficult to believe that
a few weeks can have wrought such
marvelous changes in the industrial
affairs of the country ns to make the
statement true as applying to the
country at large Tho recrudescnce in
the industries directly affected by the
demands of the war has doubtless giv
en employment to tens of thousands,
hut it is hard to believe that the
groat muss of the people have received
any particular benefit and the wail of
the Jobless masses can hardly be be
lleved to have grently abated While It •
may be in a grently lessened degree, it '
Is highly probnhlc that want and suf
fering still stalk hand in hand through- 1
out the country and that idle thousands i
walk the streets looking for the cm- 1
plnyment that is not to lie had 11 Is all
very well for the money harons, who <
are the first to till the Increasing bent
of the financial pulse, to prate of the
record volume of our trade balance.
■ optimism is easy for those whose
pockets are being tilled to plethoric
fulness, hut to the idle, the hungry and
the homeless such evidences of pros- i
pcrlty must appear somewhat Ironical
when compared with an empty stom
ach and an uninviting prospect of
speedy relief from mtsorv. Scarcely
three months agone one of the largest
and must Influential financial Journals
of the country, one that Is perhaps of
all others the closest to the dominant
powers of Wall Street, Issued the
statement that the country was facing
n great menace—through the serious
business depression and "the great

to believe that the conditions which in
spired that statement can have been
greatly changed In the short interval
elapsing since it was given out. t’n
h ss. as previously rematked. a miracle
has happened the stories reaching us
I through the medium of the malls tell

fering throughout the country are yet

ECONOMIC ENVY.
Somewhere in Henry Hedge's writ
ling the original suggestion is made that
i.lesuK opposed riches not so much in
lietnselves ns in Hie almost necessary
| method of acquiring them The idea is
] that lie saw how riches were not enrn
jed but came hj methods in which the
I rights of the people were ignored Woe
in those that joined Held to Held hud
Noon spoken ns long as the Isaiah and
louhtless Hie evil lias continued. if
i ills process could nourish in England
: within modern times, who can say that
i i was not in past ages The history
it hat speaks against Hie classes and for
II lie masses is exceedingly meager, ll
Was true in tile days of .lesus as in j
; liter d.ixs that (he destruction of the j
j poor wus their poverty, and He must]
ive seen the various methods in
| which this proverb was true It is al
I i.gether likelx that the anathema of
| the Son of Man was directed primarily
(against the spirit and method of the
j rich.
I So in our own cine it seems that the
I hatred and onvx toward the rich, of
(which the poor, and especially the
I loaders of the poor, are accused, is di
| reeled against unearned riches There
is a spirit of fairness in human nature
What a mail realix deserves wo do not
I object to objection and envx arise
i \\ Ill'll xx c see some one iinjtisilx re
warded. when we see honor go where
,11 is not deserved but is gained by
J chicanery or fawning, when we see
riches got not by personal labor but
by some means whereby the labor of
otliers is appropriated Such hatred,
or call it envy if you please, ought to
be. How shall those that love the
right not hate the thing that is evil?
I do not believe that there would
exist any hatred or envy toward the
rich, should there be any rich, if peo
ple felt that riches were honestly
earned. If you hear workingmen speak
nut, the commonest expiosBtons will he, j ,
“How did ho get It?" nr "Did he earn ;
It’’" nr "No man can get to be a mil- |
lionairo by Just working." He knows j
that tho millions aro unearned millions, 1
hence his discontent and his hatred.
if ttie rich men of Palestine had hnn- I,
cstly earned their riches, can we con- j
reive of Jesus saying of (hem that it);
■would he harder for them to enter the
kingdom of heaven than for a camel ,
to go through the eye of a needle? If '
the rich men of otir day had honestly ]
earned their riches, can we believe that
nny of as would begrudge what had
been squarely and fairly got ? 1 do not
think so. 1 believe that the whole
si rain and stress of the relations be
tween rich and poor, now and always,
is and haa been based on the conviction
that great riches do not come by honest
labor, but by methods of sharpness and
selfishness and law. through which tho
towards of labor are diverted from tho
laborer to the lord and master.
How this division mainly occurs,
how the man on top Is enabled to turn
the earnings his way. Is the great
question which the modern world Is
face to face with and must solve Until
tills ig done there can tic no peace in
Hie economic world, und hatred and
envy will continue Until this is done
nil civic leagues, all talk of harmony
between capital and labor, will be as
sounding brass and tinkling cymbals.—

according to ttic Paris Temps, issued'
