The work was an admirable success
and has done all that was expected
of it up to this time. But the COM
merce of the Mississippi is growing
all the time And vessels of larger
and larger draft are seeking entrance
into the river. This one series of jet
ties is now entirely inadequate to the
business of the river. and much less to
what would come If it could There is
only the one narrow channel twenty
six feet deep. There are f0rty-twO
vessels now waiting that wish to come
into the river. but cannot get out
with full cargoes. The width is en-
tirely inadequate. If a vessel We're
wrecked in the channel it would stop
the whole immense business of the riV-
ar indefinitely. We desire at least one
more channel and at least thirty feet
depth The Eads contract is nearly

FREEDOM

Phil Francis in the Stockton Mail
tells some truths which, while very
unpalatable to American citizens can
not be disputed by any one
The ed fee Our f theirs builded is in
exactly that peril to-day. Outwardly
it is splendid as when it wa; reared.
But greed and averice, leagued in
trusts and monopolies, and working
night and day to a definite, wicked
end, have Slapped the foundations.
Theoretically the masses are free and
opportunities are equal to all. In
reality, the masses are under the heel
of a class, and the opportunity that is
limitless to the babe in the palace, is
to the babe in the hut but a narrow
chance to earn little bread with life
long toll. The laborer works for the
landlord. The farmer sweats for the
money-lender. The husbandmep sows
and a monopoly 1eaps. Flour, meat.
sugar, coal, oil-the very n~ecessaries
of life, wrung by the laborer of mill
ions from the fields and mines-none
of these can be used until tribute is
paid to a handful of men organized,
in contempt of the written law, into
trusts. The high places are filled
with the obedient servants. not Of the
people. but of the syndicates of capt.
tai. To aggravate the distress ofthe
poor, half the money of the world is
destroyed, and in a single year and
in n country eight millions of men,
n and children are left to die in
the awful agonies OF starvation be
cause they are not let to buy with
their silver the very wheat they them
selves die grow. The law is wrested
daily by unjust Judges to protect
money and to debase manhood. The
Spectator forms a trust ard laughs
at the statute which makes his act a
felony. The poor workman gathers
his fellows and peacebly parades the
highways to exhibit his wretchedness
and justify his demand for a living
wage. And beneath the flag, which
he carries as his sole weapon of de-
Tense, he is shot down by m~ercenarles,
enlisted and hired for pay by a priv
ate detective agency. The tax laid
upon the income of the rich is declared
void by a complalsant Supreme Court.
The House Of Representatives is gag
ged by a truculent master. Elections
are carried by open and enormous ex-
pendlture Of money. And the Presl-
dent Of the United States sits down to
banquet with millionares, wasting
thousands in mere w~autonness of lux
ury, while the hungry poor cluster
like flies about the s%ouphouses Of the
great cities, and while men and
women and little wIetched, helpless
children die of sheer want of warmth
and food. This is the black ludict-
ment which is written. 1t is true.
