He Wants To Know

How does the average man in this country get money, anyhow? He works for it, doesn't he? Who pays dim the money? The man who has got the money, doesn't he? Men with money want money scarce, don't they? Why? Because then it would go farther in the purchase of labor and produce, won't it? Then, as the purchasing power of a dollar goes higher, who gains by it? The moneyed man, doesn't he? And who is able to obtain less and less of it for the same amount of what he has to exchange for it? The laborer, who has nothing but his energy with which to get money, isn't he? Who would then be addle-pated enough to try to teil the laborer that this would be an ideal position for him to be in? Some fellow with an ax to grind, wouldn't he? Who else espouses that cause? Some blatherskite who likes the sound of his voice, doesn't he? And he hops into print with a convincing argument, too, doesn't he? And he can settle the affairs of this nation with one stroke of the pen, can't he? And he does it and goes around with the idea that the eyes of the whole earth are centered on him, doesn't he? And a wooden Indian with two left hands and no head could see holes in his argument and not half try, couldn't he? They are usually familiar with "little games," too, aren't they? "Loaded dice" are part of their stock in trade, aren't they? They always think "the other fellow" is a blasted fooi, don't they?
