The industrial earth has made the mistake of its existence by arousing the labor force of the 400,000,000 Chinese to the powers of mechanical production. Even the American capital being planted in the Philippines will have a tremendous effect on the labor of this country in the next few years. The Orient, instead of being a market for American and European goods, will be an exporter of gigantic proportions.
And the earth will be starved because of this "over production." And if the workers, who have all power, remain as stupid to owning the land and machinery and shortening the hours of labor, they ought to starve as being unfit for association.-Ex.
