The Issues.

l see in the near future a crisis ap-
proaehing which unnerves me, and
causes me to tremble for the safety
of my country. As a result of wal
corporations have been enthroned
and an era CT corruption in high pla-
ces will follow, and the money power
of the country will endeavor to pro.
long its reign by working on the
prejudices of the people until all
wealth is aggregated in few hands,
l feel at this moment more anxiety
for the safety Of the country than
ever before, even in the midst Of war.
Abraham Lincoln.
To the thoughtful observer the
present condition of society must be
\ subject of deepest concern. Each
Aucceeding day the toiler Of the soil
ads it harder to live. The wages
Nrecelved in employment, and the
products of their shops and farms
scarcely purchase the means of life.
Their homes and farms are under
mortgage, and they are indebted for
money borrowed, and for the COM
monest necessaries; thus living q
hand-to.mouth existance, unable to
make provisions for the future. They
are, upon the occurrence of the least
mlsfortnne-sickness, the loss of en-
ployment, or the action of creditors
driven to want; compelled to tramp
the streets for work and for bread;
hunted as Migrants from tho common
highway, their misfortune reprosich
and even crime.
This is prospect that at all times,
evan haunts the more fortunate ones;
and how many there are today who
are brought face to face to it? Let
the millions Of unemployed, the ruined
farmer and business man answer. The
tramp and pauper of society are but
the victims of this common misfor-
tune; their spirits are broken By their
wrongs, Nor is any toiler secure in
the uncertainty of business, and labor
ranks everywhere over. crowded. The
most confident of them all stand only
IN too much danger of joining the
mepbers of this v0grant throng.
Meanwhile wealth is pillng up With
a rapldlty before unknown. A half
century ago we had but two or three
millionaires; now we have thirty-ive
thousand, many of them being multi
millionaires, whose fortunes amount
to hundreds of millions. Corpora
tions, too, with capital reaching al
most into the billions are in control
Of all enterprise, public and private
and are masters of enslaved labor.
They have long had charge of pub
lie franchises, such as lights, water
supply, street railway, telegraph sys-
TENS and railroads, smassing their
millions therefrom; and now, IN the J
shape of trusts they are securing con-
Itrol, one after another, of all the
Products of labor and supplies of life
with power yet more absolute to
dictate terms. One hundred and fifty
lof these trusts now exist, and new
ones are daily being formed, which
will continue until we can no longer
doubt that before the twentieth CEN
fury shall have fairly begun, every
toiler in the world must enter their
employ, or be subject to their die
'tatVgon; and every human being in it
must come to them for all the SUE.
