cago postoflce was granted" an IN
terview with Secretary Carlisle! How
gracious our rulers are becoming! 1t
will soon be as easy to approach one
of our hired hands at Washington as
any king. And this is what you call a
republic, Ell?
Wheat is selling at 80 cents in Utah.
Wheat gamblers live in palaces. One
busts occasionally, but the farmers do
not move into his palace-another
gambler does that. And the farmers
are pretty solid for the same good old
tickets. I'll tell you what, fellow-citi-
zens, this is the greatest, grandest'
freest country on the globe and our
people are the most intelligent.
At Houghton, Mich, thirty-two min
ers are killed by nobody to blame
while getting out coal for the coal
barons to make money on. No loss 10
the owners, as men are the cheapest
things on earth. Horses, hogs, sheep
even chickens have value to their own"
ers-Only men have none. Thirty more
TO take their places can be had without
paying a cent for them. o, this ls
jolly country and a glorious system
Only on election day are men worth
dollar a head to vote the old tickets
nha
Why do men buy houses to live IN
or do business in? Is it not to AVOID
paying some one else interest IN the
shape of rent? II this is desirable
this avoidance Of interest-why do not
the people vote to buy or build their
own street railways, water works, gas
and electrlct plants? This idea hit me
when l read that the street cars Oh
Philadelphia netted nearly $4,OOO,OOO
last year, that would have remained III
the peoples pockets had they oWneu
the system, as they should.
Only sixteen people were killed by
little collision near Melby, Mimi, on
the private enterprise railroads last
week. People are cheap and dollars
are dear, and safety appliances would
cost dollars. Railroad owners must
have big profits to live in palaces and
buy titles for their daughters. The
cheap people are taught it would ruin
them to have the nation own the rail-
roads and not have any profits go to
millionaires. This is not anarchy, sure
not! This is order and harmony!
National banks are enemies OF the
republic. They are the means Of near
ly all corruption and bribery in poll
tics. They work in secret like an as
sassin. Already the press is current
with reports Of the on-coming lobby
at Washington by the bankers. l hope
they will succeed to such an elegant
degree that the people will get real
mad-then their bonds, stocks, mort
cages and real estate will be served
Just like the sacred right of property
In the chattel slaves. History repeats
itself. Crime always brings up at the
halter If let run far enough. / don't
blame men for being bankers, but do
for defending so villainOus system
and preventing juster one.
Pharaoh put new burdens (bonds) on
his people as fast as he saw they could
stand 1t. Our people took their sale
into bondage to American and English
bankers SO meekly, never uttering a
protest, and indorsing it by electing the
same people to Office, that new set
of bonds will be again given to the shy
locks next month. The American peo-
pie don't know that bonds mean bond
age. They done know their lives and
property have been pledged as secur-
ity for gold for their rulers to squan-
der in riotous, licentious and traitorous
luxury. There Is not savage tribe in
Africa that woTld so meekly submit to
such degradation. Issue more bonds,
masters. Issue lots Of them. We love
bonds. We like to bow the neck to
British rule. We don't care cent how
much Of our land and property the
grandees own. We like to work for
them. Next fall we will re-elect the
old parties to prove our pleasure at
your action. Hurrah for the bonds.
We will hang amy traitor that utters
a word against the bonds. Whoop-la!
You can hire two men one day for
two dollars now. Formerly you could
hire but one man one day for two dol
lars. Are men depreciating?
