Mayhap Nr cannot see any iarther Into
a pine bog than you ur vuur democratic
readcrs. Put We have heard b said that
''there are none So blind a. those who will
not see.' We have kuo~n people whose
eyes were so blinded by political prejudice
that they even refused io see the pine bog

they only jeered at US aud deOpred thai
the log had no existence. OF If admitting
the existence OF the log at all would dee lare
the parasites healthy growth and tell us
IT we only removed the tariff the wood

The Capitalization of wealth is going On
apace and each year its speed is ninnipl,d
by its plunder. The great American
middle class-the pride OF our manhood
and womanhood-not many years o..
represented major percent oi our pOpu-
lation Today it has dwiuded down %
less than nineteen per cent. The small
manufacturer is being crushed and pushed
aside by the mammoth trust concerns.
The small merchant is being crowded out
store. The small farm is growing smaller
and RAPIDLY disappearing; the large
bonanza farm is multiplying apaee. And
everywhere labor's wage is being crushed
down to a point oil mere susteuance, while
on the other hand the large ana improved
machines of production are multiplying
his productive ability. Does it take a
prophet OF the son OF prophet to forete.l
the end? No! Just a little intellectual
exercise will demonstrate that in less than
a decade-if this hideous competitive sys-
TEN i permitted to eNist-the once great
middle class will disappear altogether aud
then we Will have no competition. For
there will be left but two classes-Ihe
iew-the xtremely rich, who are in the
trust, which does not compete, but mur-
ders all opposition and owns CD all the
machinery OF production. The many-the
industrial slaves who must beg the few for
the privilege of exercising their vested
rights to labor and to live. That this con
dItIon will ever be permitted TO manifest
itself to a much greater extent than it now
is we do not believe. For the warcry Of
socialism, FORWARD and no compromise So
is heard ON the plain. The cry of the
children for bread has reached the ears of
the world. The sobs OF the grief stricken
mother as she leans over her starving babe
have been heard. American manhood will
rise in its might and Danish commercial
ism to the liades il deserved and usher in
that higher civilization which has been
the dream Of the ages. The greatest good
TO the greatest number viii be relegated to
the sophistries Of the dark past. In the
new time nothing but absolute justice
therefore the greatest good to all-wiI
suffice. II man has n right to hfe then
has he right to the elements necessary to
the sustenance of life. II man has n right
