In discussing the final destiny OF this
nation it makes all the difference in the
world whether we are ON the way 20

Of this republic. and that monster is
known by the name Of monopoly His
scepter IL made out Of the iron of the rail

everything for his own advantage and for
the robbery Of the people. Things went
on from bad tn worse until in tine three
legislatures of New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania for n long time monopoly
