less checked, we are sure to follow the
example of Egypt, Persia and Rome,
once great and powerful nations, but
destroyed by the concentration o. their
wealth In the hands OF few unscrufr
ulous scheemers after power and per
sonal gain.
Equal rights TO all, special priv'-
lege TO none, should be our motto
These special privilege men, on the
pretense Of benetitting a country, and
the people who live there, in q short
time own everything worth having IN
that country, including the people
themselves. We are fast drifting that
way. Let Us not be too careless about
these rights and privileges. Our his
tory has taught US so far, that these
cormerants take everything from the
individual they can lay their claws on
Tor nothing. but exact handsome
price for anything he may desire to
have from them. after which they
mortgage all you have got at an i'm
possible rate OF interest, and then
drive you away from your own country,
because forsooth, you cannot compete
with their imported cheap labor. "A
one sided game OF Poker, indeed,
They hold the winning cards every
| time"
This concentration Of wealth in the
hands OF a few has been the result OF
legislation IN favor Of special privilege.
IL has been according TO Law, but not
according to justice. To-day any
State or Territorial Government is
harmless TO stop the evil ways OF these
giant corporations. Our only saliva
ton from this course lays in the
National Government; 10 her we must
appeal. Let us strengthen and In.
Huence this government so that she

corrupt practise, as we have done
lately by our action in the Silver Con

which action 10 to-day CONFUSING the
world with volcanic outbursts OF indig
nation in favor OF free aad unlimited
coinage Of silver for the benefit OF tn,
masses, and will also act AS cheek
to the usurpation of power by th'
moneyed Shylocks of this country.
The motto that Eternal Vigilanc,
is the price OF Liberty" holds good TO
day. Self.protection requires organl
zation, and earnest work. See 10 !
that the beautiful structure of self
government so nobly won by OF
revolutionary fathers in their heroic
struggle for independence from th
cruel tyranny Of Great Britain, 50
bravely defended and purified by ths
Union soldiers OF the late war, is no
destroyed by intrigue and politica
treachery TO satisfy the cravings AM
desires Of the American moneyed aris
tocrat. After which we can bend TIN
national sails to the breeze, and agail
