not only to let well enough alone, but
to stand pat and allow these combi-
nations to grow stronger, until their

a position to usurp authority, which
will only be wrested from them by
force.
Therefore I claim it behooves every

well the tendency of affairs. as bearing
upon individual interests, and rebuke
by their ballots the man whose hands
are extended toward the rear for the
money of monopoly, while his face
