THE THREEIS AND THREEP'S VS..
THE THREE POLITICAL RS,

/ To the Editor Of the Reg- Ster.
noticed an editorial in the Pittsburg
! Times. termed The Three Political Rs,
| in which the Times man says the chi
/ cago platform declares e." fifJy-three
ccn5 dollar, and says this IS reputation.
/ This is nothing more than We expect
when the people adopt platform Tor
Iehe benefit Of the masses. The classes
/ are not slow in buying mp lot C. po-

/ Of these purse proud paupers. he says
/ the Chicago platform also demands the
| renewal of The income tax. class tax
! levied against the accumulations OF n
| dustry and thrift confscating the ear
nirgs and saving of few for the bene-

I berry. Wholly Undecided skunk purity

hee,h when no man pursrsth, but the
| Righteous stand up rs bold as lion. An
! income TAX is not robbery, but justice.
/ But il is robbery to enact laws for the
/ benefit Of the few, and pauperise the
/ masses. An act like this was the work
OF an Ohio representative. who for
mess of pOttage sold every labOring man

| The RO.hchilds. There has been men
put to death for a less trGitorous trick.

man for those lazy, Icing lOafers TO
compel a man at the muzzle Of a Win

while they live in luxury from the pro-
/ It's of our labor What a grand thing
! IL is to be a workingman in free coun-
Itryl A free and independent sovereign

wages q glutonous corporation chooses
TO offer you, you can 20 to the devil, the
soup house. or the grave. Hurrah fer

glorious thing TO be a slave. with the lib

time the laboring men look to their own
| interest. and quit defending the sociolo-
gy OF PCS. and begin to advocate the
sociology of the people.
And again. the Times man SAYS the
/ Chicago platform threatens the curtail-
ment of the fraudulent supreme bench
of Smothered justice, where the rich 80

millions Of people. Don't you think it
needs curta lment. az least a little.
think it does. When law enacted by
Congress is constitutional one day and
not the next. Ii looks as If something was
rotten. But the Times man says to cur

grip on the people. VIM Mckinley, in

or among the glutonoIs mOnOpOlists,
who own the State of Pennsylvania? or

TO the country? Do you not know that
they are loyal only TO the base and bru-
