COEFEDRIT X ROADS,
WICH is IN THE STATE Uv KENTUCKY,
Jooly 16, 1873.
Despite our recent disastrous failyoor
to become Commoonists, we determined
to try it again. Ez there aim nothing in
our hands, ez Bascom and Pollock hev
everything that is NV va1yoo, in this vi
cinity, we coodent see where we shood
lose anything anyhow, by insistin onto
fair divide with a view NV takin a moo
start. After all, Commoonism is the
proper nOshun. Wat difference does it
make to me that Pollock works and
don't? Pollock likes to work and [ don't,
Am to blame for not liking to work? 1
am ez nacher made me, and 1 must live.
There heis ez he is, and he can't git any
thing more than a livin out NV it. There
fore it's his dooty to accommodate enufff or
hisself and me, and eff he refooses to do it,
it is my dooty, ez a citizen, to compel
him.
1ssaker, M'Pelter, the Deekin and my
self thought the matter over and determ-
ined to stand no more nonsense from them
fellows, but to take with the.,strong hand, !
all that wich they he'd so long defrooded
US NV. We determined to rise in our
mite, and wrist from them despoilers the
property they he'd conrrived to fiIch from
us. And every man uv us rolled over and
got up, and called a labor meetin.
I wuz maxim the speech uv the mite. It
wuz gorgeous effort. wuz in the mid
die Nv it. wuz shown that all proper
ty wuz robbery, and that in troo repub-
lie one man shOodent hey any more than
another man. l wuz demonstratin the
absudity Nv permittin one man to hev
hoardid up that witch he cOodent yoose,
when others, made in the same image,
wuz hungerin and thirstin. wuz
demenstratin the necessity NV a ekal di-
vision NV all property, real and personal,
with laws perhibitin accommodation by
hevin divishen every Fourth of Jooly,
when boy entered the meetin house,
with telegram for me. It wuz breef,
and to the pint:
F'SAINT's REST, Moo JERSEY, JooIy Is.

L seed alite. To-wunst my feelins ex.
perienced revulsion. I he'd a sudden
change Nv hart. I felt horror at the
leVelin doctrines uv Cemmoonism. The
idea Nv dividin up property become to me
to-wunst the most repulsive thing in the
world. $4,000 is 81, ,O00 year-and four
thousand year means comfort and eIe-
gance for me. Wat good wood it do to
divide it up? and beside 1 found a doubt
ez to whether man wuz ever entitled to
anything more than he really amasses by
honest industry, or-possibly inherits.
can't see that it is wrong to1ive by the
honest sweat NV an aunt's eyebrow. At
all events, declined to go on with my
speech, and Joe BigIer insisted that L
shood. refOozed and dekIined to give
any reason for it, and denounced EN- all as
set of agrarian Jewelers.. 1 denounst
COmmOonism ez robbery, and insisted
that every man he'd an indefeesible rite to
wat wuz his'n, and that nothin Good in
doOse me to join my forchoons to princi-
pie so utterly repugnant to the idee NV
civilizashun.
Then Joe Bigler and Pollock, foIIered
by the enraged citizens, pounced upon
me, and Joseph tore from my grasp the
telegram, and red it to the populis. 1t
wuz enuff. A party NV EN- wanted to tear
me lin from lin, for wat they wuz pleesed
to call my base desershun NV great coz,
but the cOunsils of the older and wiser
prevailed lis
''Let him up,'' sed the good Deekfn Po-
gram. F'Let him up, he Ilez money, and
Commoonism shel be enforced all the
same. We will borrer NV him, wfch will
be the same ez tho he made the dfvvy all
to wunst."
And so 1 wUz released, and went nv
way, feelin considerably elatid. No more
work for me. Henceforth my days wuz
to be pleasure and my mites delftes.
With $40 200 Good snap my fingers at the
world and live ez choose.
Bascom he'd lent me the money to per-
ceed to wunst to Saints Rest to secoor INV
patermony, and 1 he'd borrered pare Nv
boots Nv the Deel1in, and an extra shirt
Nv Issaker. All wuz in redinis and the
mule Wuz at BaScom's door, when the
dred intelligence reeched me that ther
wuzn't nothin in 1T. It he'd all been put
up by Bigler and Pollock to see eff 1 wood
change on the very platform. They he'd
writ the dispatch and sent it, and hired
the mail boy to hand it to me. BascOm
pounced onto me for the money he he'd
lent me, and Issaker and the Deelxin want
id their property. wuz stript ON the
spot and left helpless. a.... Ill.,.
There isn't any humanity in man.. 1
shel be CommOonist yit, and bloody
one 1t is gettin to be a question NV livin.
1t wuz crooel in them fellows to deceive
me so, tho after all hev no reeson to
complane. Bascom to oOnsiIiate man NV
capitle kept me full all mite. ,t.4 i,.s....- 81
