plan of putting sufficient money into the

cal bosses are so imbued with their own inn
Fortanoe that they honestly believe chat
they must save the country by bossing the
people. This has assisted in producing a
political condition that will assist in their
early overthrow. In abOlishing ohattel
slavery, industrial slavery was established
in its stead, which is a thousand times worse
than negro slavery ever was. If the Haz-
zard circular was a myth, IL has proven to
be prophecy. The old system of ohattel
slavery never wrung 100000 annually
from the toll of the negro, without giving
care and comfort TO his bodily we'll being.
Yet we see hundreds of millions annually
wrung from the sweat of the white slaves,
under the present system of industrial
slavery. Il matters little in effect TO the
slave whether he is driven through rice and
cotton fields under the lash of his masters
whip, or through the rain, sleet and freez-
ing cold by debasing pressure of pitiless
mortgage. Under the old" system there
were 100000 slaves; under the new, over
100000. The old time negro slave was
carefully housed, fed and clothed, because
Of his property value, while now the white
slave is poorly fed and clad and without q
house, and when sick or old can rot or be-
come an inmate Of the pOorhouse, because
he is valueless, and besides there is always
a new crop on hand at no cost 10 the
master. New England howled against the
SIN Of negro slavery, while now they grow
rich upon the blood money of the white
slaves, who are their own countrymen and
in many cases of their own blood. They
unsorupulously pocket this blood money,
and, with unblushing hypocrisy, pray for
the salvation of the heathen. These men
rule the United States with an iron rod
through the machinery of the Republican
and Democratic parties, and the people can
see no hope to obtain justice and freedom
under either of the old party banners. Can
anybody wonder that men renounce such
party fealty and enter upon an independent
campaign TO right the wrongs that have
been 30 ruthlessly thrust upon them7
