LET Them SUE
AND BE HANGED
Sentiments Of Thomas w. Law.
son Expressed in Public
Statement.
INSPIRED BY DAMAGE ACTION
Willing to Bear Brunt Of Ire Aroused
by Plain Truths He Has
Been Telling.

Boston. Nov. 23.-Thomas W. Law
son issued last night a signed state
ment which however, beyond infer
ence contained in the opening sentence
throws little light upon the origin Oh
nature of the suit or suits brough,
against him by Attorney Fuller for
1856. 900 damages.
In conclusion. Lawson refers TO pres,
sure being brought at Washington in
the effort to exclude from the mails
| his writings on finance. He expresses
the opinion that such proceeding would
not be permitted by the postal author
tiles. The statement in part follows:
Ready to Give Battle.
In regard to the suits and rumors
| of suits civil and criminal brought
and to be brought against me by the
Standard Oil. insurance companies, and
individuals, because of my story 'Fren-
zied Finance I can simply say:
Bring them along one and all and
will be found on hand prepared TO give
battle to a finish. giving no odds or
mercy and asking for none.
Il have been telling few raw truths,
and in this age of dollars no man will
be allowed to distribute truths about
financial rascality without paying the
price. My truths are big ones, and
suppose the price will be equally big,
but the American people may rest
easy that whatever the price I'll pay
it and not ask any sympathy for doing
SO. and they can rest easy about an
other fact: I'll make those who have
been plundering the people during the
past 10 years pay price to which
mine will appear like tight shoe COM
pared with the inquisitorial racks of
dark ages
sees End of .System.''
Let the American people make no
mistake, IL o'clock is just being struck
at the while-you-wait factory where
multi-millionaires are being turned out
from the raw material. and unless
miss my guess it will take more court
trials than there are in American to-
drown the ominous sound of that high
noon bell
