m. Iden That Men Can Tax Themseives
Rich IL Preposterous.
The chief difficulty in combating
the preposterous claims OF the Men
lev;tes lies in the fact that their theo-
r;es are not based on facts or logic,
hut are wholly a matter OF faitn. NO
amount OF reasoning, no statement OK
facts. can do anything to convince
men who worship the high tariff fetish
that their idol is n humbug and .
fraud. -
The persistence of the delusion thai
men can tax themselves and every
body else rich is due to the Willingness
| of most people to accept as truth any

With their pre- iudices and short-sigh'eo

his time studying about "parity", Gin

means when railroad companies, which
but two years ago were calling on the
militia to shoot their striking employees,
are now sending out circulars warning
those same employees that to vote for sill

fabulous capital by charging their policy
holders enormous premiums, now so
much distressed about the loss there will
be in the purchasing power OF those poll
