WHAT'S WRONG?: It is said that�maehinery is dis placing labor and thus causing • inr employment, * d the unemployed being' unable ece get "jobs' can 'g'et no • pay," and. ;l` teing' no money .cannot buy food of clothing. So, it appears. that ,leboi saving • :machinery instead qtr being a blessing; as is: .generally assumed is a "curse to mankind. That ,is very strange ' indeed, because, it leads to the .conclusion that; farmers would be better off cultivating the land • with the spade .than 'with,, the, tractor. plow ,and better off cutting their grain With the sickle . than with, the reaper or corabitie. +And fur her men would' be .better . off carrying freight on :their backs , than using motor trucks, steam railways, or even horses. Also • they .should'ispense with the . telephone and telegraph and have .Messages carriedby, boys; and ' girls on foot.
