The Emperor,s Yisit.

Emperor Schwab, of the United
States, is visiting the Republic of
France In an interview with him
he said:
1--WE (meaning the, great Steel
Trust,) have more power than any
monarch that ever existed. We
even dictate to the railroad com.
panies, We employ 100000 men
100000 are dependent on u.s."
Fight the trust! No use! Better
command the sun to stand still:
it would do as much good.
Now, young men, wake up.
We want to show you great pat
riotic American. Behold the En-.
peror of all the great trusts; bow
the knee. You would not do that
now, but let the great Trusts once
get complete power and we think
the great mass of people would be
governed by real emperor.
Consider what Schwab said and
see if you do not think things are
bending that way.
FRANK p. Mccoy.
