fer. To make bread dear is to invite famine
and starvation when every consideration
relating to the well-being of society demands
that bread should be made cheap. Mr.. Lloyd,
in the course Of his argument, says: The
universal strikes into which the laboring
people have been forced in the last two years
are trsceable directly to the increase In the
cost OF living, which these corners have done
so much to produce" THE
following sentence is from q
petition to Congress to which
member of the Produce Exchange person
ally obtained the signatures of thousand
substantial men:
"'As only men of large means or extensive
credit are capable of engaging IN these enter
prises they become essentially an array of
capital against the industrial classes, wherein
the banks and moneyed institutions are al
most invariably drawn to the support OF the
former against the latter"
This" says Mr.. Lloyd, sis the communism
Of the syndicate and it is the only commun-
ism the United States have yet produced
And it is a form of communism which, il il
does not cease, will shake this country asif it
were in the grasp Of thousand earthquakes.
No greater mistake could be made than to
underestimate the vengeance of millions OF
working people, who are compelled to buy
dear bread by the Vaccinations of men who
disregard the boundless benevolence of Jeho-
van and shame the devil himself by their
mercenary greed. 1t is quite out of the
question, within the space at our COM
msnd, to present the facts and argu'
ments which impart commanding I'M
portance to Mr.. Lloyd's article.
1t ought to be universally read by the rich
and the poor. No rascal engaged in corner
robbery and bucket shop gambling will COME
to the rescue of the scamps who plot to
make bread dear" Society is ceaselessly
bombarded by set of newspapers which slop
over about Sunday laws and saloons, lotteries
and draw poker. These organs of sham
journalistic pharisees long-faced and long
haired reformers, never have a word of de-
nunciation against syndicate communists
who combine money and credit to shroud
humble homes in darkness and create hun
ger pangs from center 10 circumference
the ny pOSAAbcSi
they illustrate by their professions the
r, suit of the DEVILS venture when he shear
ed the hog great cry and little WOOL" What
is wanted in the United States is united
voice against those miserable miscreants who
plot early and late to make food dear, TO re-
duce the purchasing power of the poor mans
dollar, thereby creating labor troubles, strikes
and all the ills which strikes force upon so
ciety. This thing Of making food dear when
Jehovah provides that it may be cheap, is 8
question the importance of which can not be
ovepstimated As a general thing the
men who make food dear have
the Courts and the statutes on their side.
Under Republican rule nothing better could
be expected. 1t is a monopolist party, q
corner party, dear bread" party. II taxes
the poor to support the rich. 1t creates,
fosters and protects combinations to rob the
many for the benefit of the few. Under its
protection corners flourish, and the com
mission of the syndicate" has been produced
/ Mr.. Lloyds article is valuable contribu
ton to the business literature of the times
( and should have the widest possible reading
