PERPETUAL MONOPOLY.

The Perpetual Monopoly created by
the last Legislature Is putting the
screws ON the suffering people of Chi

This Perpetual Monopoly Is the Gas
Trust. the meanest of all monopolies.
because II taxes the inalicnable right
of mankind to light.
And because 1t enjoys monopoly at
the hands of the state. the Gas Trust
extorts money from the people as II
sees fit.
Every citizen knows how his gas bills
have grown since the passage of the
Gas Consolidation and Frontage meas.
ures by the last crooked Legislature.
These measures are the most iniqui.
tous ever passed by any legislative
body In the world.
They provided for the consolidation
of all the gas companies In the city into
one gigantic trust. and forbade all com.
petition with that trust by passing an
other law REQ ouiring any new gas COM

| In Chicago to secure the consent Of

which 1t wished to lay mains before 1t
could lay said mains.
| OF course. this Infamous law forever
forbids any other gas company from
interfering with the robber crowd now
at work.
And they are Mt work night and day
robbing the poor people Of Chicago.
Not only is the quality Of gas furnish.
cd very poor. but II Is even doubted
whether any one in Chicago gets cor.

The price now charged by the Trust
for gas Is an outrageous robbery and
extortion.
1t Is money wrung from the pockets
Of the poor to swell the pockets of the
rich. who are already bloated with
wealth made from watered gas stock
And The Eagle predicts that before
the present agitation for the repeal OF
the Gas Consolidation and Frontage
bills Is over that many of the bribe
