ambition is great.
For a series of years the standard
Oil Co., was "moIiarcl of all it sur
veyed, CT its rights there were none to
dispute" FIon Maine to California,
and from the Gulf to the Lakes, the
financial destiries OF the people, SO far
as artificial light goes, were as surely
in its keeping and under its lictatioi, lis
has been the glorious orb of day under
our Creator from the time lie spake the
command, Let there lie light, and
there was light" During II this time
the business OF this greatest monopoly
that ever sprang into existence on
American soil was conducted sole ly on
the theory of large dividends. Sy far
As lite PATRONS were concerned. the con-
sumers Of its output, it entert lined
the afpt ment ex pressed in the languages
ofa &sw York multI-miIliopaire, The
people be damned. But "a change
has come over the spirit Of its dreams. -
This great Goliali has met its payjd,
who. with unerrtBg aim, has struck it
square between the eyes. Rec ling
and staggering from the blow it still,
contends for the field Of its grsa: tri-
umphs. and. yitt words ''sweeter than
honey from soft Dion's lips" seeks to
retain by duplicity that which it
secured by methods and practices that

welfare of its patrons.
Tho GOultis, the Va nderbilts, and
many other milliOnaires, accum ulated
great fortunes at the expense Of the
people. The Standard Oil Co., has
turned ont more than u score of multi
millioilaires, and its great high priest,
Rockefeller, stands to-day the richest
man, not alone Of America, but of the
world, whose entire fortune has been
accumulated during his own lifetime
Think of this fell9y citizens, and
reconcile it, if you can, with the ides

of these oil III anipulators represen! jus!
so much money stolen from the people
The business theory Of this grea
octopus that has fasten ed itself upor
the homes of the people is to, not nee
fairly, butt crush out all opposition
Then with clear field, prices would

only restore former dividends bu
cover the loss sustained i'll the "crush

Now then as a fair business PROPOSE
