TOO POOR TO TAKE THE PAPER.


Every day we receive letters (and
they come from every quarter Of the
State saying that the people are
anxious 10 read The CAUCASIAN and
that there would be no trouble to get
large clubs III every neighborhood if
the people were not so poor, &c. Now
our friends must remember that if
the people were prosperous that we
would not be publishing ii paper, we
would be in some other business. 1t
is because the people are poor, be-
cause they are too heavily taxed and
not getting fair return for their
labor aud produce that makes
such paper as THE CAUCASIAN
necessary. There is but one way
short of bloody revolution for the
people to rid themselves of the pres
ent oppressive condition, and that is
to VOTE themselves free. Therefore
the people need paper to stand Oh
the watch-tower and turn on the
light-a paper that will search for
the true causes of their great wrongs
and expressions and tell the facts.
The people need such a paper. We
are publishing such paper for the
people. Therefore the people who
are getting poorer, and those who al
ready feel too poor to take paper
must take it if anybody does. 1t is
published in their interest and no
body else wants it published. Half
of the ten thousand people who get
The CAUCASIAN now would pay US
$500 a year for the paper before
they would do without it, and If our
object had been simply to make mon
ey, we would have put the price at
$500, or at least run the paper differ
emily. But cur desire was to reach
the people with the facts, so we put
the price down to $1.OO year, which
is less than 2 cents week, a price
so low that every man in the State
can afford to take it. Our desire is
to give the people the very best paper
in the State for $1.OO. We are striv-
ing to do this. And now We wish to
urge our friends to give US 10000
subscribers SO that we will be justi-
fed in continuing to do the necessa-
ry work to make the paper the best
even published in the State. The
honest, hard working man, who gets
poorer every year, is not too poor to
take The CAUCASIAN, but he is TOO
POOR TO DO WITHOUT 1T.

heard. We were disappointed at not
getting letter from him in time for

we were going to press. You will
find the letter on the 4th page of the

another letter for this week, which
came in good time and yon will find

Every day we are hearing and
reading of another strike of Railroad
employees. Why is it that we never
hear of the employees of the postal
service striking? Because they are
paid better and treated better than
the employees of the Railroads. If
private corporations were running
the postal system, the postage ON a
letter would be more than 2 cents
and the employees would be con-
stantly striking because their wages
were being reduced. The people are
thinking on these things.
