a monopoly is taxing power, conferred

In the total absence Of legal protection
no monopoly could exist, and free COM

grRnRries, fences, ETC., or obtained the
present ones at saving In the active
capital expended for them. And had
there been no monopoly OF coal mines
and Of transportation lines the Rggre-
gate sum paid for fuel during the past
century would have been many billions
less than it was, and these billions would
now have been distributed through the
community, instead Of being ConCen-
trRted in the vast fortunes Of the few.

WHY HE QUIT.
A War Veteran Tells Why He Is Not 8
Republican,

been asked tho question why left the
republican party,as was an old veteran.
/ will now try and lot my comrades
know some of the reasons.
Starting out at my country's call in
1861, / enlisted in it's service with the
contract on the part Of the government
to pay me S1S per month in gold. Now
this was very fair in offering this in
ducement; but let's go on and see. The
very first payment that we received we
were paid q part Of it in gold and the
remainder due us in greenbacks, backed
BY the government, which we now see
was the best money ever made by the
government. While this was not &C
cording 10 the contract we accepted it
and went on fighting the battles for our
country to the finish. We laid our
weapons Of war aside and came home
Chose who were not left on some hard
fought battlefield to moulder back to
Mother Earth). We went to work at our
different occupations, and all was
seemingly going well until shylock be-
gan to meddle with the finances Of our
country. We were not thinking Of what
was coming, and trusted all to our party
leaders, while we toiled on az we had
fought. But at last what did we hear
that our government was doingP Call
ing in the money that we had been paid
off inl And what were they doing with
1t! Burning it up and putting out in its
place gilt edge bonds Of the United
States which were to be paid as we were
to be-in goldl
But now comes the great cause. This
money, called grsenbacks, was good
enough to pay the old soldiers for facing
the bullets of the enemies Of our coun-
try, but when shyloCk came to meddle
with our finances it was not good enough
for HIM. He must have his interest and
principal in gold. When ] saw this Of
my good, old republican party, that |
cast my GrSt vote with, and was rocked
in it's cradle, / said il this is the way
that we have to be treated was no
longer in that party.
Now wish tO say word to my COM
rades who are still making themselves
hoarse in following forA their party
Comrades, you have not laid aside your
party prejudice and taken the right view
OF things as you should. ] may be tax
ing q very radical stand, but il l do il
ia what believe to be- just between my
government and those who were its de
tenders. I do claim that We have moi
received the treatment from our gov
ernment that we should. l believe thai
we should have had our pay made gooC
for what time we were working fol
Uncle Sam. This l believe would b
just and right, and shall ever contend
90.
Now let us look at the pensions tol
q little. We hear q great hue ant
cry going up all over this land about tn
old soldiers in regard TO their pensions
Now let me say to you, one and all re
gardless Of party, don't be too hasty II
condemning those in authority. Let u
look and see Il Shylock has not had NOR
to do with this than anybody elss. WhaH
we had good men ct tho hell oe the E.El
