Idlt Is possible to reduce the various apparent political, economic and social problems Into n single proposition and say this Is the problem whldh mud be solved in order to re-etabllh an era of good feeling and abate elasslaru, then, Mr. l Julius Dames, In his address before the Washington City club Tuesday, can be said to have accomplished It. Mr. Barnes, who la at the ureaent time nreal- denc of the chamber of commerce of tho United Htatjfl. declared the great problem before the na tion! It to distribute tho wealth "so that It will notion. ntrale In the hands of a few," since, If that? we permitted, "the broad purchasing marjtet uejessary to nbsorb production would bo lacking." Its is singular that the head of the greatest commercial agency In the nation thus states In ul moot exact terms tho grievances of almost nil of t)ie radical organlzatlone In the nation the onol agreed shlboleth of every nw party and every economic reform movement of the last 15. sears.

There came n time when the prohibition movement wae given imbalance bf varlons onea attributing! to It an economic quality. Morality wan disregarded and man began to consider the thing from the standpoint of economy. Statistic multiplied, showing that the liquor traffic wan eo oottly to the society of every late, In Its In dustrial and political system, that It could not he tolerated, KwlMy followed the extreme leg islation we experience today. There la arrrple room for debate whether the pendulum (IM not swing too far farther than It should have, If the beat effect of surh Uirlslallon was to be ex perienced. Becausa a new economic condition haa been created that must be given careful and Impartial consideration, tn thn final analysis, everything that men An or aspire to do must be measured by the coat In dollars and cents. And the attempt, to eompletnly abolHi the Age-old Industry of v.ine-maklnx ami ale-making la pre- elpttating a crisis, economically, that at no dis tant day must rarely very cloaa attention from lawgivers. In the Ha me manner Mr. Barnew, with his statement, the need of a "broad purchasing market necessary to absorb production," haa supplied the economic consideration to the de mands of thn radical organisations which must Insure a cloeer and more careful consideration of the Issue. That a hroad market Is necessary to Absorb thn production of an industrial system such as we have created In this country within the brier life of a single Individual. Is too patent to even dispute. That I his broad market can be beat maintained by higher wags for the workmen and lower dividends for the stock owners, la also beyond the realm of reasonable debate. The Individuals of the great army we main tain tn Industrial production must he capable of themselves becoming i)tirchft.srn of the arti cles produced or the entire system will topple and fall. ThU can only be realized through a wago system which permits tho actual workers, who outnumber thn stockholders by a ratio of more than a thousand to one, to become gen eral purchasers of nil commodities In tho open market. The concentration of wealth In a few hands means nothing more than an Induetrlnl feudal- Ism, Just as the condition of a quarter century ago created a cattln-bnrons' foudnlism on our western plains, which were divided among n vory few cattlo klngti to the exclusion' of the "nnstors" nnd the "farmers" who were eagerly seeking land. Under the cattle ktngn n tre- moiidou.i are..t was dominated by a brutnl feud alism, to the vaat enrichment of a fow. Hut thote wore no community centors, no eohools, no ohurches and no merchandising and banking Interests such as have followed the settlement of thn lands by a farmer on each quarter sec tion. Hottlement of tho land rosulted In creating "that broad purchasing market" which Mr. Ilarnort holds to lis essential to the nbsorptlou of our present scale of production. The cattle kings would never have devuloped the west, no mattor how Important a part they did play In Ita subjection. Kvory national Intercnt plenda ngalnst tho contrallintloti of wealth In tho hands of a few, becauso wealth Is only another namo for purchasing power. One man with a hundred thousand dollars plays an Important part In the llfo of an average western community. Hut the purchBHlng power of that man Is confined to the needs of himself and his family. He him self, requires a fow suits of clothes per annum, the amount of food necessary for IiIh own sus- tonancn, and thoo things which his appotltn for luxury demands, ills family of two or throe adds to tho total of his contribution toward that "broad put chasing market" essential to absorb the production of a great industrial system. Hut If the hundred thousand dollars bo allocat ed among one hundred men, then to the logical limit of that particular caen tho broadest pos- nible purchasing market has been created, bo- cauno the entire capital has been put directly Into tho market. Thus wo arrive at the unoscapable conclusion that the demand for a wldor and more Just dis tribution of the wealth of the country Is abso lutely essential to the country's prosperity. Itettcr, too, for those who reallio substantial profits without themsolvefl working, because their accumulations become not only defendablo In logic but In fact, since there is the Inherent sense of Justlco prevalent which will enable all classes to defend sueh property, whereas, under ths existing tendency of wealth to flow Into a few hands few men can bo found willing to de fend It ngalnat any danger which may ariso from radical tendencies.
