THK AGE OF HOMESPUN*.
Passing from the savage, or roam
inj: stage of life, families settled
down on given pieces of land to culti
vate them, and thus to obtain a bet
ter living than they could get by de
pending on game,fish and the natural
fruits of the earth.
In this period t leir want.-, were vet
few ami simple, and each family able
to produce nearly all it needs inde
pendent of others. We may call this
the ajreof homespun. Each family
had its own . iilit of productive ma
chim • such as it is. and then is no
industrial competition between the
families; cause each family, con
sumes only what it produce?. Within
the families there i- doubtless a com
petition, as there ought to be; with
a socialistic fcplrlt, for each member
tries to do the mo.st for the good of
the whole family..
There is little or no division of la
bor and they have to work long hours*
in order to produce even a very sim
ple Hying. •
Each family prepares the .-oil. »owsl
the Feed, rcapa t.ie grain, threshes it. |
jjrinds it in ita own mill, and, ma'>ea I
the.liour into bread without outside I
help. ;
Kac>. family makes the hay, feeds
the cattle, makes the butter, kills the
calf, cooks the meat. tar..-> the skill,
makes the Mines, shears the sheep,
spins the wool, dyts the yarn, weaves
the cloth anil makes the garment;:
for it? own use. 1 have seen such a
state oi society.
As the peopk 1 advance the functions
of goyeiament increase. In addition
In the protection ot the tribe or na
tion from outside .enemies each
family has t<> be protected in its pos
sessions and the enjoyment of what it'
produced.
The sneak thief and the robber
bavj to he. restrained from appropri
ating to themselves the products of
other people's labor! and thus the
government had to exercise a police
as well as a military function.
When .-on-.e of the people learned
to read and write and desired to have
these and other branches of educa
tion taught to their children, it uas
found to be too expensive for each
family to have a school of its own.
and in many places the people were
wise < nough to make education a gov
ernment function, even back in the
age of homespun. A- the people
learned to communicate thoughts in
writing a demand ns- made for a
mail ser\ke,"ard their government
was made their servant to carry
messages from place to place.
These advances have uot been made
without a struggle; for Individualists
have fought agatn&t every forward
i-tep that has been taken. The i'el
ilsh and the ignorant will doubtless
continue the light Indefinitely. These
agents of darkness mu*t tai; met and

TUP; RAILROADS ARE IN POLITICS.
Walter Well man. the famous corres
pondent, has shown in the Chicago
Times-Herald the true source, of the de
licit in the postal department, which
| Coniji-eßsma'n Loud has sought to make
. up oil of Increased charges on second
class matter. The trouble is in the
enormous Increase in the amount paid
railroads for mall transportation not
on!', absolutely*; but relatively in cost
per mile. Mr. Wellman gives the fol
lowing table showing the rapidity with
which this burden is Increasing:
Miles ■ Cost
traveled Cost per
daily. mile
ISM 12,000 • i.iC'imi.ni tl3:i .
ISM iiiji»hi i::.himi.l*«i. .. 123
isn iia.ooo ....sb.ooo.ojo llil "
Mr. Wellman showed that since 1880
I the Item of transportation has increased
| from 18,200,000 to $27,iiiV>,000. lie then
ifoes ahead to show how the railroad
companies steal r good shar.o of this
money. Once in four years the govern
ment attempts to obtain the average
number of pound* carried daily, and
uses this as a basis of settlement. At
such times the railroads send thousands
of tons of •'dummy mail" over their
lines. They send their annual supplies
at this time, and in a hundred ways
swell the "average." An original ex
pense of $5,600 in this way netted one
road t2.13.000. After explaining several
such schemes, Mr. Wellman continues:
"Mr. Armour. or the Standard oil
i impany. or others of the big shippers
own their own cars. They pay the
roads for hauling them, and ■_'■■•! adraw
back paid by the roads for the use of
their cars. But Uncle Sam rents his
cars from the railroads, and pays f^r
the hauling of them besides. A first
class railroad post-ofliee car. sixty feel
lon;,', the finest built, costs a . ■ I mum
of ■j.im to construct. For this the
United States pays $30 per mile per
annum rental in addition to tin: rate
per pound of the mails. Such a car I
running between Chicago nd New
Yorl: for a year earns in rentals alone
nearly $2."),0U0. Ami it costs only -ts.oiHl
! lo build.V
Considering tin effective support
given by the railroads to the present
administration in the campaign result
ing in its selection, can any one hope
that it will abolish this robbery. A
few y -ar.-i ago, the manager of a rail
way running out of Den Moines was in
dicted fur defrauding tlie'government
b\ sending an enormous amount of dum
my mail over h's lino during the weigh
ing period. The evidence rf fraudu
lent intent tieemed indisputable, but lie
escaped on a technicality--as the big
thieves so often do. It was a good deal
more than ttuttpttctcd too from the evi
dence presented at the time, that the
I". S. congressman from the district
helped on the swindle by "franking"
-an enormous amount < f public docu
ments to constituents along thi^ :..r.d
other line-, just at the time when it
would do the railroads tlie most good.
i 'or/;paring the i rookedness everywhere
developing where private corporations
performing public services come into
contact;with public officials, with the
honesty and efficiency manifested in
the departments of the postal system
directly conducted by the government^
lie argument against government
ownership of railway* because of fear
of official corruption seem- ridiculous.

HAVEN EVEN HORSIi SENSIi.
The worker* who produce the vast
wealth of the country by their labor
retain about 17 per cent, of the wealth
which the} create, capitalism takes the
rest. The wealth producers of this
country constitute 90 per cent, of the
population. Now let us see whether
the workers have manifested even
■'horse sense."
Suppose that 70,000,000 horses were
turned into a pasture covered with the
finest of grass, reaching to the horses,"
knee*, with good water everywhere In
plenty, and the pasture us large as the
United States. Don't you suppose that
they would all be fat and sleek? You
don't imagine for a moment that there
would be a few fat, sleek ones and all
the rest so poor that their bones would
be fairly sticking through their miser
able hides, do you? It wouldn't be at
all likely that ■ few fat one- would
monopolize all the grass and water,
while the rest would give up all but
17 per cent, of the grass they grazed to
the lew fat ones, would it? ■ You admit
thai there would be plenty of water
and grass for all the horses and thai
each one would do his own grazing, en
joy all the grass thai he grazed and gel
fat and sleek.
Here we have 70.000,000 people turn
ed Into a pasture by their creator, ex
tending from ocean to ocean, literally
a land of milk and honey, naturally
capable of sustaining 500,000,000 people
with plenty and to spare. Like the
horses the whole 70.000,001) ought to be
fat. sleek and happy and they would
be, had they as much sense as the
horse. But on he contrary we have a',
few big, fat, sleek fellows who hare
monopolized the land, money, railroadi,!
machinery. etc, —all the means-pf creat
ing and distributing wealth while ill
great mass of the people arts lank and
! an, man} so poor that their miserable
bones show through their thin hide*,
so ii- oak. Ninety per cent, of this
great herd of 70,000, OfKVpeopla'a re com
pelled by the big. fat fellows to give up
to them, through interest, rent and
profit, all but about 17 per cent of the
grass they graze, No, we don' seem

the state with co-operative towns is
not only superior to the L. K. but the
only .■.ay to change our competitive
pandemonium into co-operative peace

politics of such a co-op ■ owns

be changed also. For where every
person iinds constant and adapted em

anxiety for the future for either him*
self or his family, there, the money

ceased, and public administration

I wish to tell you what i have done
with those colony views: After I had
feasted my eyes on them awhile, 1
concluded that there were others thai i
would appreciate a feajtf of the same I
kind. Bo I went to the furniture '
dealer with them and bad each of
them put in a neat little frame: then
I took a copy of your letter head to
the printer and had it set in large
type and struck on a card the same
size of lew», J also had it framed
like the others, so that made a group
of eight,! Then ! had them ail put
together, which made a picture about
34x10 inches, then I went about town
looking for a conspicuous place to
hang up my picture, and after finding
a number that would not tolerate it
on their premises, which was rather
discouraging. 1 found one merchant
that sympathized with me and al
lowed my picture to be hung In hli
j window, and you may imagine what a
gratification it was to me an I -at on
the opposite side of the street and
saw the passers by stop and scrutinize
my "masheen.'" So yesterday I was
in town again and part hailed me,
enquiring about about that colony:
but It was hard for me to convince
them that it was not a speculative
scheme. Now lam going to get their
addresses to send to you. and 1
wish you would send such literature
to them as you think would be the
most convincing of any that you have.
1 think that John Johnston's Ques
tions and Answers would be very good
to send them.
