The Raleigh Post, IN us issue VI w.
OH, 22i. SAYS that "tbose who own
he properly should rule" what does
mi, m-snp IL means that dollars are
M IRE important than men. IL means
hat dollars should rule. This - the
that every millionair. ami
every monopolist in tb. country De-
Ii.y.s In and advocates. ~ m-ansthat
m, man. who the benefit OF unjust
legislation, has been able To rob ana
bleed one hundred thousand men I'D
order TO make himself rich should then
he clothed with more political rights
and power than the thousands OF men
vho have become poor by his robbery.
N wealth. Is to rule, that IL, " mans
political power is to be In proportion
"a the dollars that he owns, then
man worth a million dollars would
have more political power than two
thousand men who have only nve nun
dred dollars worth Of property each.
During the last thirty years the
wealth of the country has been rapid
accumula,ing into a few hands. Each
dav few more men become Million
aires, and at the same time millions OF
more men become poorer. The men
who become to be mi!li0Dalres do not
work or create wealth. The millions
of men who each day become poorer
are the men who make the wealth
which makes the other fellow a mil
lionxire. This has gone on until to-
DAY less than forty thousand men own
more wealth in this country than all
of the remainder of the people In the
nation, amounting to over seventy
million souls. This has been q beauti
ful game for the few milliOnaires.
They are delighted with this condition
Of things and are perfectly satisfied
for it to continue. But they see one
danger ahead. It is this: Each one
of these miIlionaires has but one vote,
while each one of the millions who
bave been robbed to make him q MIL
lionaire and are each day growing
poorer, also have one vote. Now II
these plain people, including the men
OF small and moderate wealth, VII"
have never been rich, but Who have
b,-n bard worhinE and ihdnsL'l-
ou., and vino have each year created
NOR. wealth by their lab than they
did the year before, but who have -aci
y.ar gotten poorer in order To make
few men rich, II these men should make
up their minds To join their votes ant
elect a mau like Bryan Pres'den
aud elect n Congress made up Of TN
same kind of men and elect state leg
isa ure in each state made up Of th
s,me kind of men, then TINS rob
be-y would have to stop. These mil
lionaires aud millionaire trusts an
railroad corporations are terribly un
easy for fear this thing will happer
Therefore, they want to see the hard
working and industrious men VIII
have z ,ttsn fairly poor, robbed OF thi
power to cast one vote like the mil
lionaire or the railroad President ca
cast.
The Raleigh Post was recently es
tablished in Raleigh as a gold organ
and as the organ of the Southern X. X.
in fact, as q monopoly organ. Their
is no doubt about the Post expressin
the desire and deliberate purpose Q
the men and agencies that put up tn
money to run that paper. Yes, q
course they think that "those who Ow
the property should rule" To carr
out that doctrine in the United State
would mean that forty thousand me
would rule the United States, Will
seventy millions Of people would b
ruled by them. To carry out that doc
trlne in North Carolina would mea
that less than ten per cent of the peOpl
of North Carolina would absOlu tely RI
the State and defy the wishes and in
terest of more than ninety per cent, {
the people. 1t is the most dangerou
CNCt CuuuSioV VS.
10 the kind of doctrine that was d,
nounced by Thomas Jefferson as bein
worse than monarchy. aud is in viols
ton of the great doctrine enunciate
in the Declaration of independents
that all governments derive their jl'
powers from the consent of the 60,
orned. This doctrine that those VII
own the wealth should rule would Civ
to the people Republican govern
ment in form only, but would in fa'
put upon their necks tyranny wor.
than ever was melted out by any moi
arch in any kingdom on earth. n
king was ever as heartless toward b
subjects as the aggregation of gOl'
bug milli0naires, railroad presiden
and trust presidents when they COZ
spire to corrupt legislatures to NAL
laws to take money from the poke
Of the people to put into their own.
There Is no doubt that the men wi
to day control the machinery of Il
D. m0cratic party in North Carolin
healed by Summons and A. b, A
drrws and the Raleigh Post and Il
Charlotte Observer are not only tho
oughly in ~ mpathy with this revOi,
tionary and piutocratic doctrine IN
"those who own the properly shou
rulr," but that they intend IL they ca,
ture the next legislature to disfraI
chise At the ballot box enough poor me
who have been rubbed to make q he II
rfohto make it certain that the ri,
shall rule and that the poor and IN,
Of moderate means shall continue
work for them but have no voice
running the government or stoppiu
the robbery.
