As help to those who honestly desire

this lease, and are anxious to know their
duty and do it, as we'll as to refresh
the public mind upon the matters that

Anarchists and Men of Business,


"lierr Most and have been talking
it over said Eli Perkins," and we are
glad those awful monopolies aud trusts
are to be killed. The man who does a
wholesale business is criminal Yes,
sir, We Anarchists think that wicked
wholesale Carnegie, who makes 20 cents
a day on each of his 200 workmen, is
bad man, while our retail house paint
er and carpenter who makes IS day on
six men is saint. Fifty innocent sugar
refners, who were selling sugar at five
cents while the Government was paying
a two-cent bonus, were angels, while the
wicked wholesale Havemeyer who en-
ploys 10000 men, raise their wages ten
cents day, and sells sugar at 81 cents is
a devil incarnate.
"The child-like milkman who sells
New jersey milk for 81 cents a gallon is
fit for translations, while the wicked
Rockefeller, who pumps oil 500 miles
from Oil City, rfines it and sells il to
the poor for @ cents gallon, is fiend.
"The wicked Carnegie" continued Eli,
"kept millions OF dollars from going to
Europe for steel, and the objectionable
Rockefeller sells Sl0,000,000 worth of oil
to Europe, Asia, and Africa, and brings
the gold back every year to enrich our
country.
What would do with these wicked
wholesale business men, you ask Why,
I'd hang them, and canonizs the retail
saint who sells beer by the glass and ned
dies hot frankfurters on the Bowery."

SHOWED Hls MONEY.
He Finally Had to Defend 1t With n Brace
of Revolvers.

EpINBURG, Ind, Feb. 19.-As George
Wells, saloonkeeper, was going home
he was attacked by two masked robbers,
who demanded his money. Mr.. Wells,
drawing two revolvers, informed them
that he would do no such thing and
that they had better move on down the
street, which they did rather hastily.
Mr.. Wells carries large sums Of money
on his person, as he has been known to
carry from $500 to 81 900 all the time,
and also has the habit of showing it to
his friends whenever the subject Of
money is mentioned.
Last summer when there was hardly
any gold in circulation around here, Mr.
Wells used to take delight in drawing
forth two or three hundred dollars of
the yellow metal and in exhibiting it to
his friends.
