CATION. An examination OF the indorse-
ments, however, would indicate that it
is going 10 settle them on the side Of
organized wealth. For instance, Mr.. J +.
II. Manly, OF the republican national
committee. gives glowing Endorsement
OF the league, saying: "Your work is
one which the employers OF laoor and
the property-hold.ng interests OF the
country cannot fail to support. 1t will
do much in the future to ha, monte the
relations existing between labor and
capital. The belief that capital is rob-
bing labor and that the wage-earner does
no, receive his just share OF the profits
is an erroneous one, and results from a
wrong education and lack OF knowledge
regarding the true state OF existing
facts" l, would seem to be the work OF
the league. therefore, to convince the
public that the laborer is getting his full
share. which means that the trusts are
not getting any more than their share.
Mr.. Albert Clark, OF the Home Market
Club, is alarmed, and says: "Revolu.
tionary ideas. have been gaining such
rapid Roadway in recent years in many
OF the cities and large towns OF the United
States, that it is high time for property
to better insure itself by enligh,ening
public opinion. The splendid work OF
the National Economic League in its
campaign Of educa ion should be sus.
tanned financially by every good citizen
OF the United States Some of the per-
sons whose names are advertised as
officials in the league, or iniorsers OF its
work, have doubtless been deceived by
the purposes OF the league. but they will
find, unless indications fail, tina. the
educational work is very one sided
work paid for by the men who are using
the government for private advantage
and who are trying to still the rising
