Teachings of Democracy.
Democracy in the past warned the
people that the class legislation of the
Republican party would end in monop-
oily. Democracy has insisted that spe-
I Cial privileges conferred upon a few
would result in depriving the masses
of their rights and opportunities. These
warnings OF Democracy were UNDECIDED
and we have at last reached the point
where even the Republican president
declares that the nation is helpless IN
/ the face of the vast combinations of
/ capital which Republican legislation
has nurtured. and that the constitution
I must be amended IN order TO give the
/ people relief. We have reached the
point where the people of Europe are
able to purchase the products OF our
factories for One-half that our own
people are required to pay. and hence
we are being taxed that Europe may
have cheap goods. The steel trust
charges $35 per ton in this country for
steel rails that are sold In Europe for
Sa5 per ton The farmers of Canada.
Mexico and South America buy agri-
cultural machinery made in the United
States for half what the American
farmer is required 10 pay. And so il
Is throughout the entire list OF trust
made articles.
Dividends on Water.
Thus dividends are paid upon watered
stock and fictitious values and the
earnings of the people that would give
them the comforts of life and furnish
them with some of the luxuries are
transferred 20 the Golfers of capital
The right of capital 10 combine and e
organize is as clear to me as the right
OF labor 20 combine and to organize

worlds work But. when these com
binatiOns become inimiCal to the rights
Of the masses. then the right OF the
people 10 curb cheek and control is
clear, and the trusts must stand from
