hand OF the corporate slave dealer Of the
present time. We are now meeting in
battle array the greatest foes Of our ma

fight, constantly adding new recruits to
our army until the last bugle will sound
TO lead us to an overwhelming victory for
the poor and oppressed, that will trans

and at evening, when the shadows fall
like the lashes Of q weary eye dropping
over mountain, valley and sea, they can
lie down to slumber free from the

will they be shelterless and clotheless.
