ED, NHws DnNOoRATl-lf you will
allow me space | would like TO show 10
tho readers Of the NEwa'D EmooRAr
that we arc uneOnacloualy committing
social suicide,
Aud, now gentle reader allow me 10
draw on your imagination for six Pic
lures,
In tho irat picture We have labor rep
resented by a mar and boy, working on
the land that nature gave them, raising
tho necessary comforts and Injuries OF
life, We now shade this picture with
an air Of happiness and lay II aside,
ln picture two we have tho man and
boy labor gathering In the products OF
taeir toll, and capital coming on to the
stage, represented by a man shaking
the hand Of friendship with the man
and boy labor, We now shade this pic
tufe with an air Of happiness and lay
| that away
In picture No, . we And avery stump
tuOua table, laden with all the delicacles
Of the season, NJ which In seated the
man aud boy labor, and capital, enjoy
Ing the fruits OF labor We now shade
this picture with an air Of happiness
and lay that aside,
In picture No, 4 we hud the man and
boy labor working again In the field,
after dinner aud capital atroling
around enjoying the acGnery, We now
shade this picture with an air OF hap
piuraR on the part Of man nnd boy, but
we notice u sparkle OF mischief Ia the
eye OF capital,
WenOw take the picture Nos Here
we Iind the man ana boy labor have
ceased 10 work, leaning on shovel ana
hoe, aud capital II standing with q roll
VI parchment or deed lie now says
This land belongs 10 me- By virtue OF
law, You must now leave II or pay me
my price for the u6r Of H. In vain
labor demonstrates that the land was
created for llL Copltal6 only 0tRu'
meut "a Whlgt up on glt Labor has no
other temrdy aud pays the rent that
capital Whb,
Now loolJugin tho lckfroundo Of this
picture We 500 tho population lurrcta
lug, which necessarily increases the
value OF land, uud uH thr value of luuu
Do Increased, capital increases tho price
ut liE rent lOr Che lunu un which labor
wUat i've Thlb reduces lNhot TO pow
"Tty,
Now Wo take picture Moo Here We
IuO another bumpluuUE table, loaded
! with an the dpliCaClrs OF the season
Here we lNd capital seated alone AZ
the center Of the table, enjoying the
fruits OF labor, while the man Nnd boy
| labor are standing NJ q distance, receiY'
Ing o piece In charity from the servant
OF capital,
Now follow labor from the rising 10
| the setting Of the sun, Labor neceaga
rily travels slow, while capital travels
by steam and electricity and every
Wntre that labor goes 10 finds that
same parchment, Everywhere u finds
| capital has m0nopoli2ed all the valuable
| natural resources OF the world, aud the
same stern words, "pey the price or
move on
Labor finds that capital has not only
monOpoll2ed the natural opportunities,
but controls governments aud legisla'
lures, controls elections and courts OF
Justice, controls religion, the public
press, science aud education
In all nations and generations men
have arisen above the muses. In hui
manity and Intelligence, aud have pro
clNimod against the wrongs OF society,
These men have always been called
cranks, generally prosecuted, some
| times executed, but never dauntGd,
Having now laid the foundation, In an.
| other communication | will CudeayOr
10 show We are now committing social
suicide, morally, fehg.ouSly aud Gnan.
