Socialism,.
70 tie Editor Of The Chicago Tribune:
s1n: Before proceeding with my subject, let !
me first thank you for your kind and considerate |
conduct in handling the subject Of Communism,
which seems to be the nightmare or bugbear of

lutla when their stout muscles could earn suifl-
cieut for their modest wanta,-Tere, with Us,
characterized as
T1ESDs, aHouLs, Bnu1Es,
enemies OF every virtue and goodness, WHOSE
oalv Joys were rapine, murder, blood misery,
debauchery. and every excess. You alone sa1o
