COAL AT $40 A TON.
The People of the United States Com
PEELED to Annually Submit to
Systematic Robbery.
Garrett A. Hobart the Personal Repre-
sentative and Paid Lobbyist of j. Pier
pont Morgan-How Would You
Like such n Man as
President.

You are going to pay SO a ton for
your winters supply of coal.
This will be a part of your contriba-
ton to the Republican campaign COR
ruption fund.
Garrett A. Hobart. the Republican
nominee for vice president, Is the
founder. promoter and one of the chief
beneiciaries of the anthracite coal
trust, the most criminal and heartless
conspiracy against the American peo-
pie that was ever carried into merCi-
less e~Aecution.
This is not a campaign lie. 1t Is an
absolute fact. and is a part of the his
tory Of the Infamous Reading Combine
with its colossal conspiracy, backed by
$500. 600 900 OF capital.
Mr.. Hobart says there is no coal
trust. What do you think about 1t?
Who do you suppose raises the price
of coal just in proportion as the sea-
son advances; in proportion as the
cold crows more intense. and the suf-
ferings of the poor increases? Do you
suppose the rise is Occasioned by the
law Of supply n demand? Do you
suppose hard coal is worth $40. or 50,
or IS, or s., or So a ton?
And you are thinking Of voting for
a ticket with Garrett A. Hobart on 1t.
Garrett A. Hobart, the paid attorney
and legal representative of j. Pierpont
Morgan: Garrett A. Hobart. the re-
tanned lobbyist of the New York rail
read WreCkerS: Garrett \. HObar who
has and engineered more
trusts and invented more legal trick:
with which to defeat justice and OPP
press the people, than any man in the
United States.
The man who votes for Obar fol-
any office il the gift Of the American
people deserves to be robbed by trust.
and compelled to spend the remainder
Of his days in abjeCt slavery and pow
erty.
The man who deClaims against trusts
three years and nine months. and ther
spends three months yelling and work
ing for the biggest trust robher in Il
United States. and winds up by vo
ing TO make him the presiding Office
Of the United States enate should
take out an insurance policy agains
the fool killer.
Imagine the people of the Tnitet
States engaged in a struggle agains
the trusts, with J. Pierpont Morgan
nan, Hol art. the presiding officer o
the United states senate. Any vote
who viii endorse such a calamity, Wi
chesrfu..iy vote If he Is giveE a chance
20 d~is!ranCh!se himself.
Suppose in the possible course o
cve.ts that Mckinley should die with
in Office? We would then have Nj
Garrett A. Hobart, founder and cav
c:oCkkoider in the coai trust $50
ton), as president Of the VEited State
Of America. There IS nothing in bur
lesque or comic opera more grctes1u
shan this. and yet we are tod ,ha
several millions Of American workre
who use coal. and who are >aEnCa.I
swindled out Of millions CT dollars !
Mr.. Hobart and his fellow consriratcr,
now seriously propose to turn ever ,
, Mr.. Hobart the absolute government;
control of the country. They VIII ne
do 1t. There are many. inaEy foes
the United States, but they are not v.
in q majority.
When you go to you coal Office an
order you coal; when you go dow
into your pocket and pay two prices ft
one OF the absolute necessities Of III
console yourself with the thought III:
