AS a nation we ought to have
more protection. -
Because the protection we
nave had has helped concentrate
wealth IN the hands of a few,
and forced millions to the verge
of poverty.
Because the pr, lection we
have had has resulted in closing
opportunities to labor and made
want and misery our national
shame.
Because under the protection
we have had the few have gained
and the many have lost, and the
few who own the instruments of
production have been given the
power to refuse men a chance to
gain IA livelihood.
Let fruit rot on the ground
this year, as last year; thousands
of Gods furnishing poor will need

that? Let it rot.
Keep your bursting ware
