S1a: It is clear to all thinking minds that
there ia q strong feeling among the working
people against the moneycd power; which may
in time grow into as dangerous an element here
as it has proved to be in Europe. The dlscon-
tent of the workingnen, which never is without
eome cause, has always been the torerunner Of
revolution, and, il this Republic ever comes to
An end. it will bo through this diacontent, caused

This is becoming = power stronger and more
arrogant than the nobility Of the Old World, and

hands. but every branch of industry IL IN some
