Farmers cannot juggle aud conceal
and so escape taxation. Their acres
are in sight, as are their buildings and
cattle and other animals. Crops too
are not inHi ible. Farmers, as rue,
are within reach as to taxation. They
cannot escape the vigilant assessor.
Farmers cannot "swear of" as these
whose wealth is documentary, that is, in
bonds and stocks, in trusts and CON-
bines. Farmers may water their stock,
but that watering is not scheme to rob
the public.
Farmers cannot "swear of" their

tect themselves and stop the robbenes.

General g. Nj. Dodge who is president
OF the Alger investigating commission

famous Credit Mobilier scandals, says
the New York World, lie was chief
engineer Of the Union Pacific railroad
from 1866 to 1870, and came in for his
share of censurs at the hands of the con.
gressional committe that sifted the

II workingmen would vote together
they could soon shape things to suit,
but when half vote one way and half
the other they only spoil the soup and
accomplish nothing good, for the
monopolists continue to rule and riot at
labor's expense. The old English ale
house sign of "The Five Avis" tells the
story:
The king-I rule all.
The preacher-I pray for all.
The lawyer plead for all.
The soldier--I fight for all.
The workingman-I pay all.
Here is an assertion which nobody has
vet denied. 1t was made by Governor
Pingree, at Buffalo, N, Y, January 1S,
1898:
Today all the trusts. all the monopo.
lies, every agency which is bleeding the
country, has taken refuge under the
wing OF the Republican party, because
they fear the Democratic party, which
has kicked them out.

Scarce money embarrasses business and
