the present age are being fostered
while Tie masses are obliged to do
without even the bare necessities OF
lie. We, as people, should protest
against It.
Il cannot understand why this coun-
try IS doubling IN wealth every %
years, and why the poor arc growing
poorer and poorer. 10 II estimated that
the wealth OF tins country is 353. .00O.-
0OO, 900. This IS Il sum which It would
be impossible for Us TO com
prehend. We have wealth enough
10 buy Russia, Denmark, Italy,
Prussia, Spain, North and
South America, countries that
have 29I 600 coo OF people, and why Is
II that are 50 many poor struggling.
Combinations and trusts are the cause
of 1t. Ii is because the Demetrii
OF the present day have such tlrm
hold on the money. What do YOU
think OF a man leaving behind hlm over

name hundreds of others who have
and are holding up these immense
fortunes. No wonder the poor are be-
coming poorer every day.
eve should have a reciprocal form
OF government TO avoid these evils.
This country should not allow any one
man TO possess more than 5000 900, and
i do not think any corporation should
have control of more than 81 ,OO0. 600.
There should be a general treasury for
the depOsting of all money which all
individuals have accumulated over
$500, 1000 and that all corporations have
accumulated over $1,000, 600. Sub
treasurers shou.d he appointed by the
Government and wOrkmen should be
loaned money without interest to build
their homes. This. IN my estimation,
would be solution o. the great prob
lem.
There are many who would say this
would be taking money that does not
belong 70 us. Not at ALL We would
only be receiving what justly belongs to
Us.
"Why is It that the manufacturers Of
our country becomes rich in 10 years
and the WOrkIngmen at the end of the
same time are IN the same place In

a corporation that was started Is years

more wages than when they started. !
Have they not been taking what be- !
