Government OMnership.

You say it would bankrupt the gov,
eminent to buy the railroads,
Ye gods!
And has it come to this?
Is it fact that we have allowed a
few thousand stockholders of great
corporations to accumulate enough
properly to bankrupt 60, 900, 900 people?
To bankrupt all the balance of the
country.
Do you know what you are saying?
If these few men already control
more than half the wealth of the
country, for heavens sake how long
will it take them to own it all?
Don't you think it is time to call a
halt?
If by owning the railroad system
alone it is possible to acquire all the
wealth of the nation, how easy for the
government to make railroads pay for
themselves, and buy in all other great
public utilities by the use of this one.
After the government, the people,
became owner of the railroads, how
easy tor the people, the government,
to become again owners of all the
wealth Of the nation.
The corporation socialists are solv-
ing the problem themselves.

Casabianca Grover.

Growers on the burning deck,
He stands there all alone:
Demecracy's total wreck
Its glory all has flown.
The cuckoos, even, flew away,
The mugwumps nit the road,
And Cleveland bumbug repo-dems
Are deeply unde.-snowed.
The flames Of puolic wrath now glare
Round Stephen Growers head,
They scorch his toes, SINCE his hair,
And paint the scene quite red.
Solid, Indifferent, Grover stands,
Where goldbugs told him to;
He says, ''ths people may be ID,
To Wall street I'll be true"
Still hotter will he people make
The de ok where Grover stands,
He'll get it squarely in the neck
When Pops co ne in command,
They'll rout the plutocratic crew,
They will t-ln y: ship to leei
Wien the hunbug ms2azias explode;

Notes of the ambassadors, Strike.

Notes Of the Enbassadors' Strike.
The ambassadors BE- id. The sal
aries paid ambassadors are already too
large.
There is too much dignity in this
country rather than too little.
The ambassadors might be more
amenable to the hard times If they
had to earn their salaries.
The time is approaching when the
people will find it necessary to abolish
the whole embassadorial farce.
If a rife diet is good for strikers,
why not give the striking ambassadors
dose or two?
Call out the army, the ambassadors
are on strike.
Bread and water is good enough for
ambassadors
Now that the ambassadors are on a
strike it is in order for the court to
issue an injunction to stop the conspir-
acy to upset American dignity.
Lock up those ambassadors that are
not satisfied with their WAGES of ST.
500 year.
Wonder if they will save their money
to buy guns.
We must get rid of salary gamblers.
There seems to be but one remedy a
change of ownership of government,
and the establishment of an American
government at home, without asking
favOrs from any foreign power on
earth.
We need an American common peo-
pies government.
The dignity of labor at home is Just
as important as the prating of plutoc.
racy in the court of st. James.
The old New England system of i'm
prisonment for extravaganza would be
better than the present spoils system.
The best thing to do with an embas-
sador who is stuck up, is to throw him
in sewer.
ambassadors who are striving for
an increase Of wages should be firmly
hit in the neck with a wet elm club
that other spoils hunters might take
warning.
Probably the simplest method of
dealing with professional Office
hunters would be to put bull dog on
guard at every door.
1t would be a relief to the public
MIND II a lew agitators for foreign
dignity were taken out and carefully
buried from human gaze forever.
A dollar day is enough for an en-
bassador.
Dictator Bayard should be i'm.
prisoned for conspiracy.
Start soup house for the embassa-
doris.
Put EN- on rock pile with ball and |
chain.
Try them for interfering with for.
eign commerce.
They could get board in any of the
capitals of Europe at IS a week.
Let them drink cheaper whisky.
Let them wear overalls and save
their SUNDAY clothes.
There is no sense in an ambassador
living in oriental inagni6cence, while
|, 100000 of the people he represents
are homeless and hungry.
There are plenty Of unemployed men
ready to take their places. This is no
lime TO strike.
There is an overproduction Of en-
Dassadors.
Lack of confidence is what is the
natter.
Put tariff on foreign ambassadors
o protect American diplomats.
Let them go into the banking bust
less on the Baltimore plan.
