chickens coming home to roost, ana
it makes me think more and more
that it is the off spring of incorpor-
ated wealth. The people of that
movement have been called buns,
tramps, and various other cowardly
stigmas. The monied press keeps
it in our face that intelligence and
ignorance, energy and idleness,
will never be convertible terms.
Solomon said in his wisdom
"whoso that mocketh the poor
reproacheth his maker, and he that
is glad ut calamities shall not be
UNPUBLISHED" The monied class
are not God fearing people; they are
more like those of whom Jesus
spoke: "blind leaders of the blind"
ready to hiss and scott at the earn
est protest of the poor. Solomon
said again "a wicked doer giveth
heed to false lips, and liar giveth
ear to a naughty tongue" this is
as true to-day as it was when it
fell from the lips of that great
monarch. History does not tell OF
any people being more slandered,
ridiculed and the victims of sharp
legal practice than have the army
of the commonweal; not even Jesus,
for words from the grave some
times speak louder than words
from mortals. But when a man is
cruciiied on the cross of the pluto
cratic press he is so dead that his
words are not even heard from the
portals of the grave. If ignorance
is not convertible into intelligence,
then our great school system is a
failure. ! have been aware these
many years that the monied press
is failure as far as converting
ignorance into intelligence is con-
cerned. 1t has been their aim to
keep questions of economy in confu-
sion as much as their ability would
admit. They are doing to day like
Jesus said of the lawyers of his
time "woe unto We, lawyers? for
We have taken away the key OF
knowledge; we entered not in your
selves, and them that were enter
ing We hindered." That is applicble
to the lawyers and editors in the
employ of the monied classes of to-
day.
If the idle millions could fine
employment would idleness not be
converted into energy? But no, the
financial situation is as that CRANE
old commoner, Thaddeus Stephens
said after he had tried for months
to keep the people from entering
into such a policy. He said: "Whei
~ few years hence, the people shall
have been brought to general bank
ruptcy by their unregulated enter
prise, l shall have the satisfaction
of knowing that L attempted t.
prevent it," Now these people ar
drinking the cup of dregs prcpare'
by unregulated corporate greed

profit as understood by trade an
created by distribution wer
eliminated, would that stop cor
sumption? AS long as consuml
ton continues labor should fin
remunerative employment" Cap
tai not only waits ON labor bl
comes through labor, whether it |
through interest or monopoly di'
tribution. Judging by the low price
people have had to sell their stoc
and grain for somebody is going
get capital through monopoly
distribution. Again they tell ,
petitions in boots should walk soft

States Congress. If history repca
