invasion of any enemy or intruder that
may be disposed to molest the people

investigation that 250,OOO,OOO acres Of
our public domain, or one-sixth of our
agricultural and mineral lands, are
owned by foreign and domestic syndi-
Gates, and that 1t Is officially reported
that there are $9,OOO,O0O of real estate

are on the homes of the people; that
our courts are rapidly closing these
mortgages and transferring the titles

are compelled either to leave their

whose existence depends on recupers-

is only very partial restoration Of the
former scale of activity at best-a mere
recovery from the absolute prostrstion
produced by the financial collapse Of
1873, and the wages raised are only
those cut down during the panic that
followed. If anything was necessary
to show how illusorY and deceptive all
such pretentions are, the daily reports
of the public press are abundsntly

old established firms and the collapse
