Method for Making Business More Rushing

By F. N. BLANCHARD

The manufacturers and other business men of this country would like to have businessmore rushing and not so quiet as it is at present. They can easily bring about such a condition of affairs, as it is a simple matter. All they need to do is to increase the wages of the producers so they will have the money to buy back more of the things they have produced. That would' relieve the present stringency and times would become easier. Those who own the machines that the workers use for producing certain articles are all the time storing

up more and more profits, and as they are in the minority and the workers compose the vast majority, the workers’ proportion of obtainable money must necessarily diminish as fast as the wealth of the capitalist increases. When a panic comes the position of the capitalist is somewhat like that of the monkey who put his hand into a jar of nuts arid got his hand so full that he was unable to withdraw it. The gnore selfish and grasping the money kings (and humanity at large) will become the oftener we will have times of depression and panics.
