Monopoly comes OF that grasping greed
which cannot he justified and is dissonan,
to our actualization Of justice in this Unior
All monopolists are burden on the so-
ciety they flourish in, and clog on the
prosperity OF the State which has the mis-.
fortune to be infested with them, for the
good reason their object is not any general
welfare, but pointed toward some supposed
individual or class interest, irrespec i've Of
any wrong they may tend to work toward
society or State. They suck at tho vitals,
and accumulate, but distribute nothing.
If they ever had any, they have lost sight
OF and regard for the good of society and
the prosperity Of State, and put all their en- :
ergies into running self and individuals of
their GLASS int wealth, afFluence, occupa.
tion, enjoyment and power Of high places,
BY any plan Of over-reaching that comes

They have not realized the actualisation
OF justice, achieved in the salutary forma-
tion OF our government, and have no con-
eeption or thought of. ita permanent pe-pe-
Unity; they seem to view it as mere tarce,
or at most, machine, subsidiary only to
benefit that class or party which may in
any way grasp, hold and make use Of it to
reap the resources of the nation in order to
live thereon Ms did kings in the olden time
They do not comprehend the intelligence

OF Justice toward all, nor the effect the light
OF snch intelligence has in making men
know the Importance Of their rights and to
entertain thespirit Of determination TO have
those rights heartily respected fully toward
all everywhere in this actualization of JUS

list is contracted in views and short-sight.
