A Russian write uoted in the Literary Digest as stating that while Americans eat on the average 1,954 pounds of grain a year, the Russian consumes only 66 pounds, Which is another way of saying that we eat three times the breadstuffs | per capita that the Russians do—and they are obliged to live| very largely on bread We extravagant Americans wear 20 pounds of cotton each per year; the thrifty R ians o 5 4 pounds, We consttme 78 pounds of sugar each; they only 13.2) pounds—and some of the greatest beet sugar mills in Europe | are in Russia. ‘The moujik makes the sugar he must not cat This is industrial slavery, carried to its ultimate conclusion | A man is more than a machine, but he is a machine in the} sense that he cannot give out energy unless he takes it in Se} earning we should not be surprised that the Russian work only $100 a year, gives out in work product but while the American laborer, earning on the average out in product $2,377 It pays to have “extravagant” workmen, gentlemen em | ployers!
