dition of things would ever be remedied
Plutocracy has its grip on the throat OF
this country and the country will never
be restored to its prestine, condition ex-
cept by revolution, and that is not
likely to come. The speaker said that
he could now look with complacency on
despotism, as there is more genuine
liberty in Russia today than in the
United States. What is liberty2 The
right to engage in BUSINESS and make
living by it. The car recently is
sued decree to the rich men who were
buying and storing wheat to sell it at
reasonable price or off would go their
heads. An absolute despotism is better
than republic that falls into the
hands of plutocracy. If there is good
despot it is all right, and if there is a
bad one theyean kill him, -as they do
in Russia.
Judge Severance said that he wished
that he could say something hopeful,
but he could not conscientiously do so.
Plutocracy has such an insiduous way
of exercising its power that it cannot
be combatted. Employees have the al
tentative of voting with the plutocrats
or starving Any man will sell his vote
rather than allow his wife and children
to starye, and that is the reason why
plutocracy has its grip on the throat of
the country and why it is going to keep
it there.
Rev. S. D. Works spoke on "The
Moral Side of Trusts" He advocated
meeting and destroying harmful things
by the secret ballot. The tendency of
the American people is to denounce
things that they know the least about.
and newspapers and speakers raise a
hue and cry for the purpose of catching
the ears and votes of the people. The
principle of trusts is wrong and strikes
blow at the dearest traditions of the
American people Trusts are not for
the benefit of the great mass of the
people but to enrich lotteries of capital
lists. They stiie competition, are
brutal, and violate the eighth COM
mandment. When they go beyond a
reasonable profit it comes near stealing
D. A. Thayer spoke upon the subject
of What Shall be the Proper Attitude
of Labor Organizations Regarding
Trusts?" He opened by saying that he
was no pessimist in regard to our con-
dition, and that there never was time
so hopeful for release from, bondage.
He predicted that the time is coming
pretty soon when the people will be set
free There never was a time in the
history of the world when the people
are doing so much thinking as today.
They will have liberty, whether they
gain it by revolution or evolution. The
same condition prevails in all civilized
countries. Mr.. Thayer declared that
there is no such thing in the bible or in
nature or anywhere else as that the
strongest and fttest are the fttest to
survive" There is an abundance Of
everything and every Individual is en-
titled to have bountiful living. There
is no such thing as free contract in
this country There is no difference
between robbing man with pistol
and taking advantage of him in trade.
People educate their children $50 that
they can get advantage of their neigh
bors, which Mr.. Thayer considered all
wrong.
