after in pamphlet form, after all reas
enable efforts to break the grip OF the
oppressor by moral suasion have failed.
And, when q full list of all tho victims
is before us, we will organize com-
mittee. who will wait upon caca gen-
t!eman who has his neighbor BY the
throat, and use their influence to il duce
him to relax the vigor of his grip. or
''sho* cause Public opinion il to be
the solvent. The entire press Of the
state is earnestly requested to aid in
creating this opinion by ferreting out
and publishing every case of outrage
and oppression. ''Show them sweet
Caesars wounds and bid them speak,
and you can 'put tongue in every
wound that will move the very stoees
OF Rome to rise and, mutiny. The
pulpit should aid also, and dwell upon
that important commandment, SO little
preached on, '',rhOu shalt not steal. THE
ballot box follows next. See that no
man is elected to any Office who il not
pledged to discourage tax title stealing.
Organize financial corporation Of
honest citizens, who will buy in all de-
linquent taxes and allow redemption ut
the interest allowed by law. This will
crowd out the professionals, who buy
to hold and plumber the poor, tho ig-
norant, or others who accidently be-
come their victims. This will give
confidence to capitalists in the safety
of our titles until legislation and the
sound common sense and justice Of our
courts correct the evil. What shall be
dene with themen who hold the tax title?
Public opinion must serve notice upon
them to restore their plumber, repent
and become good citizens and honest
men, or wear the brand OF disgrace.
Already two of the principal men in
St. Paul implicated in these disgraceful
speculations have restored their prop
erty to the rightful owners. This cx-
ample must be followed. Peter lied and
betrayed his master, repented, reformed
and took the highest rank among the
apostles. He lives respected in his
tory. Judas betrayed his master, got
and kept the thirty pieces of silver
''blood money''-hung himself and
comes down in history eXecrated by all
! mankind with the curse of God on him.
The purchasers of tax titles for blood
! money have these two examples be-
fore them. "Choose ye!" if they will
not be persuaded to follow the cxa mple
of Peter, all good men will unite with the
committee in cordially commencing to
| them the example of Judas. Let lists
be made in the counties of tax title
buyers who are buying to hold and
| bleed their victims. And if it is rot
for this purpose they have bought, let
them say SO publicly and announce
their willingness to let the righ,ful
! owners Of the property have it On fair
| terms. If they do not Go so vo!un;ar-
lily, and clear themselves, the work Of
the organic atom we are seeking will
be to put the question to each ui them
publicly, and demand an answcr, so
that the list OF the incorrigible aad tho
invincib!e may be re:lucei to !. mini
mum and we may know cxac;i: whom
we must fight. 1t will then be time
| enough to decide the best line o: battle
for the 1ncorrjgib,e list Of Last ditch
men. Now send Us Your names. 1t
will cost nothing to become 4 member.
Omitted we stand Let US unite and
make stand, and it viii not be long
before our state can DE redeemed, the
oppreSsor vanIuished, and all can
| breathe NOR. freely in the security of
tier property ard their homes.
