WITH TRUMPET TONGUE
The People Have spoken. and Their
Voice Recorded.

The People Have spoken. and Their
Voice Recorded.
The voice of the people Is the voice of
God. Weary and patient and suffering
the masses may become, depending upon
hope as a means of relief. but when the
relief is tardy the ends of justice are
sought for in the swifter channels.
The republ can party has been lavish
in promises, but it has been slow in ful-
fillment Not that many in its ranks are
not panied at the truth. for they are; but
the bosses, the managers, the whippers-
in, the spoilsmen have been reckless and
bold to the verge Of defiance. Nay,
even defiance itself has been openly in
dulged IN, and perhaps the most familiar
instance at the present moment is in regard
to the extortionste rates of high taxation,
planned by few to rob the many under
the cloak of necessity and the sanction of
law. When told that the people could
bear these burdens no longer; that in
stead of their becoming lighter yearly
they were growing daily worse; that
reign of greed and reckless rule must give
way to the demands of justice--when all
these cries were going up asking redress,
the venal conqueror still rode on with
majestic stride. and boldly told the cry
Ing masses that their demands would not
be redressed. They were told, too. that
they did not understand their own neces-
slties; that the management of their af-
fairs must be left in the hands of a few.
and that these few would manage every
thing to suit themselves, irrespective of
the wants of those with whom they were
dealing. II was bold and brsz.n stand
to take-to tell the masses the deed is
done, you have no redress. You de-
msnd some proof of our action; we have
none to give. 1t is enough for you to
believe without knowing. We are called
your servants, but you are slaves. Yours
not to reason why. but like the patient
OK plod on.
Thus went on the victors with band
aged eyes. When warned that oppres-
sion must cease they shouted back, help
yourselves you cannot We have gained
our point You are at our mercy, and
thus you remain for years to come. Your
taxes are high. SO let it be. The trib-
ute must be paid. Even should the ma
tons voice be heard through the peo-
Piles representatives its clamoring force
will be checked by an opposing one which
VIII support our theory.
Knowing these things should their be
any woDderment that the people should
resent the continuance OF the system? In
our own midst is it any wonder that par
ts lines should he swept aside and the
people should demand hesring2 Is it
any wonder that Mr.. Cable should he
asked to assume the stewardship OF the
peoples affairs when Mr., Gest had
proven himself so inefficient?
The new order of things will grow.
