THE WHOLE STORY.
We are told that the average citizen
of the United States pays ST. 80 an.
nually for the protection given him by
the state and county. He then pays
eightgdollars for the protection of the
federal government and eleven d ollars
for the use of the rich and protected

ion households are taxed, and how
much each pays to the mill-0wners
and protected aristocracy, with whom
modest sheepmen would ally them
selves. 1t were wiser If they stood by
the people. The people will assert
themselves in this coming presidential
election as never before in our time
