What shall we do to be saved from
the hydra headed trusts that have made
us a nation of millionaires and serfs?
IN the first place all know that these
trusts have control of thousands of mill
lions OF capital and practically govern
this whole country. At the head and
front Of the robber combine stand the
railroads who have more power for
evil thar every other trust; and they
are the foundation on which rests the
coal, oil, meat and grain trusts, and
hundreds more, in which the railroad
stockholders are controlling factors, SO
that we must crush the railroad trusts
or we are pOwerless to check the others.
1t follows rs the logical result Of our
people, having sought for many years
past by all sorts of legislation and
logical means, to control them within
the bounds Of reason, under the form of

Government ownership of our railwaysc

for the government is TO do as every
other intelligent government Is doing in
Europe and elsewhere, and with the
most wonderful results in reduction of
rates. increase of pay Of workmen, and
usefulness of the roads to the whole
people. The G. o. P. has robbed the
people and protected these trusts as
long as the people will permit them to.
Any party which does not rise up man
fully to that grand work of government
ownership, the people will never put in
power, for the G. o. P. may as we'll re-
main al another party that is on the
fence on this vital custom. The great
mass of the people now demand the
speedy recovery of their rights and are
determined to secure them either by the
ballot or by the bullet. This people can
but a little longer remain q nation Of a
few thousand m~illionaires and millions
of tramps, and unless our people get the
relief I have here outlined very soon, a
great war to recover their lost liberty
and the right to labor and to live is very
near. The smouldering fires of liberty
are ready to burst out, as every man had
rather risk his life in tho battle than
know that he and his family after him
are doomed to perpetual serfdom, worse
in some respects than African slavery.
