Regarding Capital and Labor.
In the United States there art- something over 1(>,(A>,000
homes, and about thirtytive per cent of them are farm homes
that are worth (including building, machinery and live stock on
the farms) ^21 .OOO.OOO.OCO. These farms last year pvodueed
something like $6,000,000,000. at great, cost of labor, etc.
The manufacturers of the I ntied States have invested a
bout $10,000.000,OoO, (not half as much as the farms) yet their
manufactured product and repair work amounts to $l*i,0v>>\
."iBS.OOO per annum; double the farm products.
There is about 10, jOO.OOO farmers living in about 6,#00,000
home* The manufacturers employ e.1171,"00 hands, to whom
they pay in wages 000,000 per annum. I hoy pay for ma
terial and miscellaneous expense :>7,0sf),000,000 make a clear
gain of over two and oneth'rd liiiimn dollars pi r annum Do
we realize how much this is? W hat a power eleven men weiLft.
over every one hundred of our population in this boasted land
of liberty? Did you know that, was equal to three fourths ol
all the live stock in this nation? More than all the farm prop-
erty of the great state of Illinois? Yes! equal to Illinois and
Indiana together, and then some, and equal to several states
like Kansas. The truth is, capita) holds a strong edge over
labor in the United States A food dual lik the two little Sun
day school hoysT One asked the other how far he was ov:>r in
his lesson book. The little fellow replied that he was over iti
the middle of 'original sin;'and the other said he was past re-
demption.' That is the way >1' capital and labor. Capital is
in the middle of "original sir. and loboi is ast redemption.
There are over lG.ooo.oo> homes in the I nited States and
lo.5oo,ooo of them are hired and mortgaged l'he hired homes
number s,24-7,000. 'i heft it is Clear that capital owns most ot
the .homes of this proud nation L'et us examine the condition
by looKing up the record of of a few states-
In Kansas there are 319,422 homes and 2o2,B34 are rnort
<;age 1 anil hired, And only 1 10, eio that are free of incuu her
ance, and a few unkn >wn, ti,at is. including all homes, town
land farm. Counting farm homes alone, in Kansas there are
1166,821; there are 51, Kofi that are free, and 44.'Ho mortgaged,
'and Fiti,hired So w. see the mortgaged, and the hired
land unknown amount to loi,ol5 out of the It>6,t>21, and -t>n-.j
j 51,8o6 out of 166,821 ffirm homes in the state can read their
titles clear; and this in the great state that has been re-
deeim 'f. Notonothird cleai
Let us look at Missouri, one of the best states in this Union
Jf this grand state was walled in it could live alone. With her
navigable rivers, her iron, her coal, zinc, her timber, her
prairie, her water powers, her fruits and grain, cotton, live
stock, civilization would go right on, railroads and factories'

These figures are taken from the United States ecus us re-
port, therefore, reliable.
In the city of New York, abo.it six per cent, of the popnla
tion own the hemes or, in other words. >ix or seven men own
93 or 94 homes of every loo homes in the city This (rule
holds good in the east, and in Berlin, (Jerri atjy ii is worse.
Four men out of every loo boss 9(5 of every loo homes. The
same thing that killed Rome, Greece. Persia and ancient
Egypt, is hilling this country namely concentration of capi
tal-
When Egypt went down less than three per
cent of her population owned all the wealth of Kc.vpt. And
When Persia with 1'2o and seven provinces went toj"1 'ghhoi
the wall, a little over throe per con ol her people owned the
rest, and when Greece succumbed to the inevitable, less than
one per cent of her people owned all, and Koine, o her seven
hills, went the same route of the classic lsle> of Greece and
the sand shrouded Egypt I jess than l.seo ; ■ . >le owned tfie

billionaire of the earth Rockefellftr his word is law in the!1'" 1 ever

banks in half this nation, if he so willed. A few men could
