those they help to Cypress. They
act so loud that we can not hear
them talk; and very few expect any
thing of them. We hear every day
utterances that law and court favor
robbery and usury. If government
is for the security of swindlers then
read nothing but the Pioneer Press;
and like organs, published by the
boodlers.
The Press is neither a pioneer in
progress or in destruction. Thous-
ands have been and are like it. There
are few news papers that tell the
truth, but these few are pioneers.
Old as the world is. it must yet be
settled by truth telling plants.
If pioneer means the van of civiliz-
alton, then no robber is a pioneer
and no paper coloring truth, and
publishing deceit is pioneer. On the
other hand thousands of sheets be-
fore the misnomer, the Pioneer Press;
advocated the necessity of want, the
sucking of poor breasts by infant in
dustries that represent millions. and
the necessity for corrupt men to
make most wholesome laws; to help
the swindler to spend more money
on a kennel than the patriots, who
keep this country from going to the
dogs, can afford for the family.
History repeats itself: Rome was
consumed by greed and luxury whilst
destruction stalked the streets by
day light. A greater revolution is at
hand and let it come soon. ONLY a
spark is needed. Justice will then
bring home. Then the judges will
not be heard, but the people; and
the people will then know that they
are greater than their servants and
will deal with them accordingly.
1t is a grand knowledge that of the
nineteenth century, that paupers in
crease consumption and thereby bene-
fit the producers. Bless your souls,
Oh ye working men; that we have
such fine paupers to consume your
produce. just think how grand that
they never die but extend generation
after generation by Inheritance and
by your allowance. Why do you not
shake them off? Why allow such vile
stuff to feed on the meat while you
and your dear ones fast on the bones,
and have not the wherewithal to
keep the wind and the weather out.
1t is surprising that it takes so
long to convince the labOrers that
they have but one issue-that of
crushing monopoly! How easy!
Give up the spoils system. 1t is but
ups and downs and a destroyer of
peace and prosperity. All are spoils
men that aid monopoly for a slice.
How many are deceived! Give it up!
Many acturers and capitalists be-
come millionaires while all classes of
working men sink lower and lower,
must live on half fare, or eat the air
of morn, sunshine of moon and soup
cooked in the shade OF millionaires
soup bones for supper.
They never become independent, but
must bend their bodies if their en-
ployes but nod on them.
1t is the desire of all true patriots
that a solution will come and come
soon, that their eyes may behold a
different state of things, and their
ideal OF state and society a reality
as we'll as possibility; that all flesh
might rejoice and not sigh when
smiling morn comes dancing tiptoe
DER the misty mountain tops.

The following letter was a long
time getting into the light-but it
"keeps'' well:
BLACK HILLS, S. Dakota.
EDITOR GREAT WEST:
l send you five subscribers for your
"eye-opener," which is worth it's
weight in gold of Ophir. It has
opened the eyes of thousands, and
blessed be the giver of all good,
thousands more are falling into
rows to fight for the cause of liberty
to be released from the cursed
laws that are bringing poverty and
distress to those that earn their
bread by the sweat of their brow.
King monopoly is the president and
genial manager of the republican and
democratic parties. Like Satan,
when he took Christ upon a high
mountain, and showed him all the
kingdoms of the world and the
glories of them, and said unto him
all these will l give thee if thou wilt
fall down and worship me, so the
democrat and republican parties
have taken the laboring class upon
the high mountain of their platform
and showed them the glOries Of
