even if so, none other is now within
their reach. Let us cut the gordian
knot of capital and restore to labor
some of its lost earnings, by the en-
CINE of taxation and not bequeath to
the next generation the shackles that

The methods by which the industrial
classes can protect themselves from
the plunderers have been reduced to
two-taxation and physical force, or

alton is the most economic. Which is
the best?
The paramount question before the
American people now, and until a re-

accomplished, is the destruction of the
trusts and the scattering of their

This should be accomplished by the

A few try to bring such a project
into disrepute by charging that 1t is
"confiscation."
They are right If the acquisition by
the sovereign people of their own
through peaceable and gradual pro-
cess of taxation is confscation, as all
processes of taxation are really con-
fiscation.
In this case Ii is confscation at the
demand Of justice and not a measure
of oppression. But the enormous
sums paid in dividends by the monop-
olies and watered stock syndicates,
are robbery pure and simple, without
excuse, reason or justice.
