How He LOVES THEM.-The Reading
TINES is ventilating Asa Packers love for the
poor man. The TINES says that MIR. Packer
amassed colossal fortune by GRINDING THE
FACES OF THE POOR. Years ago he made
heavy contracts for boating coal to New
York. and got kind of monopoly of the bus
mess. lie carried his oppression of boatmen
so far that they rebeled against him, and re-
sorted to strike. He went to South Easton,
where the boatmen had congregated, to COM
pei them to continue in his service; but SO
violent was the feeling against him that he
was seized by the men, thrown into the Le-
high, and would have been drowned but for a
timely rescue. So exasperated were the men
against Packer, that they drove the man who
had saved his life from the ground with
stones! A fortune wrung out of the sweat
of other men does not carry with it any great
merit, however effective it may be in buying
Democratic conventions.
