Progress Of Concentration.

by foreign syndicates and land barons-
When the Roman owned, the soil he
worked, Rome was happy and prosper

pressed they were forced to mortgage
their land, which passed into the hands
of less than two thousand land barons
With poverty and loss Of home and am

the place of peace and loyalty, and the
northern barbarians found the key to
the gates of Rome and the secret Of her
overthrow. History repeats itself Be
hold the change that has taken place in
this country In the past decade! Land
til.ers are rushing to the vortex as chaff

are driving the farmers from their
homes, and millions are locked up in
the treasury vaults, while industry II

streets in search of bread.
