The Bonville System (Continued front first page) lins ever known? Q. Why lins this system never been used before? A. Why did not Cicsar trnvel it nn nlttoniobile? Q. What is the "Honville Sys tern?" A. A Snuarc Deal to All. It is n middle ground whereon capital and labor inny co-operate with re sults satisfactory to all. A. Whv is the Honville System the greatest move before the civil ized world? A. The world, since our first historical knowledge, has been nursing a sick and crippled finan cial and commercial system. Ma ny hnvc tried to cure it. Some have been the means of applying remedies of a beneficial nature, but all have failed to make the cure. Probably one of the most direct reasons for this failure lies in the fact that our benefactors in the past did not sufficiently realize the im mense amount of active forces need ed, in order to effect this cure. It is a well known fact, that relief can be obtained through application of that root of mathematics tlint the average third grade scholar has knowledge of, in his limited way, and that is: that the more forcible numbers and powers arc the direct results of combinations, The larg er the number the greater the force it represents? The same can be ap plied to our domestic and national conditions. The larger a combina tion of men the greater the power, force, and energy they represent. Hence, nations acting against na tions have more weight than state acting against nation or county against Mate, or individual against county, etc. The Honville is n simple, easy, and direct cure for existing defi ciencies that are so ever present and oppressive to all. It will accom plish that which the wisv men of the earth have sectetly yearned and striven for, viz: The creation of u "Golden Age," wherein all men irrespective of Mate or birth, will have, the mime financial and com mercial footing, wilt reap equal revenue from like investments, will, in fact, have as its basis those essentials which are the direct con sistency of a Mtiaie deal, because it protects, insures, and gives the in vestor what his money earns, stops wealth from centering in a few tro pic's hands, stops stock gambling, ells dentil to fake promoters and fake labor leaders, and encourages the small investor. Q. Why have iiiiiuty-iiiue year contracts? A. It is the lougetit lq;nl contract in general use at the piveut time Q. llow will it Hffect lliOMi pap tieti who do not invent ? A. It will stop miiies and reduce the cost of high living, and develop better win I conditions for all. O. Will thift ;yteiii Ik adopted iniTvurwilly ? A. Yes. lli-cnu? it in juM, and the world Ik demanding justice n. What U meant when it is said that this Nvstem will icvnlutiouizc the hiiKiiicMi world ? A. That in time practically nil biisine.si organizations will be obliged to concede to the wUlics of the H.'oplc and organize under this system. The eople, who ate the direct Mistaiucrs of many of thcc organizations under the old system, will, wliuu the same arc re-organized under the new, have the privi lege of sharing in the profits de rived tliuruftom.
