IL is great misfortune that the leading
men OF the country do not see, do not know
do not understand the unfortunate state OF
the public mind--Of the feelings of more
than nine-tenths of the people toward the
government, IL Is astonishing that they
do not regard the growth of depravity, de.
mOralllation and lawlessness of the ooun.

SONS OF degenerate sires OF whom nothing
better could be expected Aye, but that
degeneraey Is found in every class, and in
the very highest official positions; and there
me ioulesl wrongs are perpetrated and
piled up mountain high and the most

nounce those who manage the affairs oil
government with the bitterest Cursigns
And there Is nothing the children hear SO
much OF, ana become no familiar with, as
the wrongs OF government; the dishonesty
OF legislators, congressman and government
affairs. They are told that by corrupt
legislation the lands of the state were given
away to railroad monopolies, that by unjust
legislation the people were compelled tc
submit to their demands for right of way,
aud that they are still subject 20 eXorbitant
freight rates and unjust Determinations
that their fathers are required to pay oner
GUS taxes that are sQuandered, wasted aud
stolen by raseally congressman and thiey
Ing officials. They are told that Il were het
Ter we had no government; that the of
Ulcers, from the president down, ought tc
be hung. They are told of great oppres
sions OF monopolies, banks, bonds, tariffs
interest on money, etc, etc, until thu
youth OF the country believe IL IL their duty
TO make war upon every interest created
by capital or legislative enactment. And
out OF the same spirit OF aggression and re.

crime has been multiplied until it has be.
come fearful. Ina word, II is understood
that congressman and legislators are, by
virtue OF their official positions, licensed
to depredate upon the people at will; that
they exercise these privileges to the utmost
extent, In selt-aggrandiEement aud the az.
grandizement of a favored few, by which
the rights OF the great masses OF the people
are ,disregarded and their interests trampled
under loot. Indeed, more than nine-tenths
OF the people look upon the management
OF the United States government as con.

occupying a position in which they can ply
their vocation with impunity, and in such
magnificent proportions MS to defy an

show too little respect for the peoples
means. Hence, the lawlessness at the
head has aroused more fearful la wlessness
at the other extreme, and the extent of the
conhagration depends upon where the
greatest amount Of combustable matter is
situated Reason is the only element that
could be applied, with success, in CONTROL
Ing the flames, and the only questions are:
Are intelligent mad men more likely to
yield to reason than illiterate mad men
are dishonest aggressors more likely to
yield than honest defenders
