The Labor Exchange idea theoret
ically would not be a bad one. pro
vided the premises were correct, for
if the conditions described by the
advocates of the system existed, the
arguments they advance would be
sound, llut are they? The major
premise is that this country produces
everything it needs. The minor
that hy taking care of its products
there would always be plenty tor all,
and the conclusion that by adopting
the Labor Exchange theory this
would be done, and therefore there
would be plenty of employment and
plenty of the products of industry
for all.
The premises are incorrect, the
conclusion necessarily faulty. In
the lirst place the country does not
produce all it needs. It produces no
part of many things considered nec
essaries, and it produces a vast sur
plus of other necessaries.
The Labor Exchange idea is to,
for instance, here in The Dalles store
the wool, grain and other products ot
the country, and issue certificates
calling for as much of the stored
product as an person might deposit.
These certificates would operate as
a medium of exchange or money
"When products are abundant the
granaries would be filled with them
and a large amount of this money
would be put in circulation. "When
crops were short there would be a
demand for the stereo products, the
certificates would be presented, re
deemed in products and destroyed,
thus reducing the volume of money.
jS'ow let us suppose that this would
work all right practically in a local
way; how would it be on a larger
scaler Suppose, for instance, that a
person holding a certificate of de
posit of 100 bushels of wheat should
want a ton of salt, how would he be
able to trade his wheat in a Dalles
warehouse for salt in Michigan: or
pay for iron in Pennsylvania with a
similar certificate : or swap for coffee
in IJrazil. tea in China, jute in India,
rice, sugar, spices, silks, and the
thousand products of other coun
tries ?
Jt is true the people of this coun
try could live upon what they pro
duce, but it would be a step back
ward in civilization, not forward.
Uesidcs how would it furnish employ
ment for any now unemployed?
"We would raise no more grain, man
ufacture no more. If we as a nation
were content to subsist upon what
we produce, there would be less em
ployment than now, for we now
grow a surplus, giving employment
to labor, and trade it for other prod
ucts, through the medium of the
world's money, to the world, lie
sides this, theie are some things that
could not be put in a warehouse live
stock, perishable fruits vegeta
bles, etc. How does the Labor Ex
change people propose to handle
these without money?
We fear our friends have not yet
solved the problem, and that their
system is not an improvement, even
upon what Mr. Sharp calls "the
urude financial system of Alexander j
Hamilton." No system has yet been i
discovered that will permit the busi-j
nesS of the world to be done without !
money, without some accepted me
dium of exchange by which expressed
values may be measured. "We know
whereof wo speak, having had a good
many years' experience in running
country newspapers, and while the
country editor can get along, and
docs with less money than an body,
lie must have some. He swaps paper
for cord wood, butter, potatoes and
such, and advertising space for a suit
of clothes semi-occasior.ally, or some
thing of tint kind: but when it comes
to paying for paper and type the
hard-hearted dealers refuse circus
1 tickets or subscription accounts.
j l'hcy demand money, coin, and if
they don't got it, the paper quits
much thought; but it does hot seem
to rerpiire a great deal. We cortfess
to hankering to be convinced, for
we would like to be able to get along
without money; but it would require
practical demonstration, instead of
theories that bear in themselves the
evidences of impracticability.
Upon the occasion of the unveiling
of the statue of Emperor William 1,
the empeior, replying to the burgo
master's toast, expressed his regrets
that his father was not present. This
sentiment has a llavor of Irishism
about it that makes it amusing. The
empeior seems to forget that had his
father been alive, the statute would,
in all probability, not have been
made, and he himself would not have
been emperor. It is of a piece with
a story of a lady who during the
seige of Paris, driven by hunger, had
her pet poodle killed and served for
her dinner. After having dined
heartily, she gazed with tears in her
eyes at the bones left from the feast
and exclaimed: "Alas! PoorEido!
How he would enjoy thosj bones if
he were alive."
