HOW THE COLONEL TALKS.

The Colonel tries To put it down in
black and white when fairly stirred
up and started. We mean the "Old
Timer" who is widely known as an
uncompromisng reactionist against
the social, political and commercial
misguidance, as he terms it, in the
present great contest between right
and wrong; against the power Of
wealth that is attempting to lead to
Imperialism. For a share Of the me-
cessities and luyuries that make life
bearable, enjoyable or happy, such a
degree Of cOntagion, he holds, has
prevailed towards the enriching OF
the very few in the improverishment
Of the great many, that the worn,
grim visaged toilers scowl at the
clean, smooth, cOntented faces of
their taskmakers and masters.
He says: "To continue the infa-
nous policy of injustice through
methodical tyranny by the rich. as.
sisted by the national government
towards the poor, is impoverishing
the vast majority and attempting to
destroy their individuality to the
grade Of degradation" Plebian dogs
will surely be met with a resistance
that will end ina mighty and bloody
revolution little dreamed Of IN the
philosophy Of the yellow dogs of
gold.
The cold and greedy enumerator Of
results represents alone their selfish
and avaricious contempt for human
rights.
As hard as is gold to get by the
sweat that drips to the ground from
the plOwman's brow, or upon the
heated iron falls and sizzles from the
blacksmith, as light it will be to hold
by those who are robbng both Of the
fruits OF their honest labor.
There is limit to oppression drawn
by abused endurance. and when it is
reached stand from under the falling
walls of castles and citadels.
The fight is on TO avert calamity.
The people are aroused to checkmate
the rascals who would rob others of
their birthright- American liberty
and manhood. and the Goliah of Mo.
nopoly will be stricken down by our
David of Democracy--WILLIAM j.
