IS the slave trade IN Africa.
GiIIaumet draws attention TO the fact

CORPORATION GREED.

The accumulation OF wealth into the
hands of the few is one of the peculiar
features of our nineteenth century. In
many cases this is honestly come by,
but in many it has been torn from
hands that ought TO own it yet, made
up from the ruins of a little business
here. or another little business there,
which has been crushed out OF exist
ence and their owners ruined in order
TO swell the dividends of some mighty
monopoly.
The story told of The oil trust in
wealth versus commonwealth is the
story of a series OF robber raids as I'M
scrlpuIous as those OF the RObber
Knights of the Rhine, or the exploits
of Captain Kidd and other pirates OF
the Spanish main. And the wealth
CLEANED from that source is stained
with equal crimes.
We never see a donation made by
Rockefeller without thinking of the ru-
med homes and the ruined men and

en,erprising and reliable firm Of James
Vick's Sons. Rochester, y. V, are al,
ready calling attention TO three. which
seem TO have won great favor where
known. They are the Double Sweet
Pea, the only one in the world true to
name, Bride Of Niagara" the Early
Leader Tomato" the earliest Of oil the
early tomato family and sure to become
great favorits, and the already famous
blackberry, the "Rathbun."
From the praise and compliments
given 30 sbuntly 10 the bride Of
Niagara" this sweet pea must be more
than charming and from the encomiums
layished on both the new tomato and
this new black berry, It is pretty certain
no garden desiring TO have the first
