ed States by the close Of the century
will. in spite of our severe attack of
hard times. in all probability reach
the enormous sum of ninety-seven to
one hundred billions Of dollars.
Since there is enough for all, why is
1t We have a standing army of
from two to five million idle men
longing for a chance to work and to
add to the nations wealth, while pro-
viding for their destitute families?
Why is it that the land is filled with
tramps and labor is everywhere dis
%contented?
The answer is plain. The wealth is
u~nequally and unjustly distributed.
The larger part of it is under the CON
troll of a comparatively small part of
the nation. The nations business is
run in the interest Of a few individ-
uals-not for the greatest good of the
greatest number. These individuals
unite their wealth and turn themselves
into corporations which throttle COM
merce and nearly choke the life out of
industry. They treacherously destroy
the business of less wealthy COMPETE
tors, and limit production to increase
prices. This causes widespread dis
tress in the ranks of labor, which can
not find employment, besides depriving
the great masses of the nation of COM
forts and luxuries to which they are
entitled. In these days we pay trib-
ute to the money kings who are no less
despotic and cruel in their rule than
the old-fashioned monarch.
If the people would save themselves
from industrial slavery they must act
at once. There is no time to lose. for
there is a long battle to be fought,
They must provide themselves with
weapons-not swords or bullets-but
the weapons of peace, the initiative
n the referendum. Once safely
placed in the hands of the people these
weapons are powerful enough to pro-
tect their rights. They may be OBJ
tanned by proper use of the weapons
OF which the people are already in pos
session-the ballot! Use the ballot to
obtain the initiative and referendum:
then use the initiative and referendum
to obtain laws which really are for the
greatest good of the greatest number:
laws which will protect the rights of
the weak, and which will limit the
privileges of concentrated wealth.
Let every voter, no matter to what
party he belongs, demand and insist
that the initiative and referendum
AVE a place in his party's platform.
Legislation for the greatest good of the
greatest number can only be obtained
when the law-making power remains
in the hands of the people.
1T is possible for concentrated
wealth, as well organized as it is. to
cheat at the polls, to control wards,
to buy juries, judges, courts, to buy
representatives, senator's, and in fact
whole legislatures, but it is not nos
slble for even concentrated wealth to
buy the whole people! In that fact our
SAFETY lies. 1t is ninety-nile ballots
against one-whenever we will have
it so! How long will the psople of this
nation wait before demanding the
right to govern themselves in reality
not merely in name?

THE MARCH OF PROSPERITY

During 1888 the railroads netted
1872, 0o0, 600. They got this vast sum
Ly ovcrcharging their customers and
under-paying their employees. If the
railroads were a part Of the govern
ncnt control system this enormous
profit would be scattered among the
poor people as wages and over 4OO, 900
men would have work who are now
idle.
