Trusting THE TRIBUNE to afford thiS
muortunity of writing Gas the early
Christians who wrote in defense OF
Christianity were wont to style an
"apology'), we humbly present our
apology for the action taken.
The dawn of a brighter day l. break b.
irg and st. Lucie county has caught
the light. The nation is awakening I"
the fearful fact of slavery To the trusts,
and that emancipation can not he
Effected through the old political par
ties; for under the present economic
system, which is the life of both par
ties, the trusts dominate the legislative
bodies, so that the laws fostering
their growth of power constitute the
order of the day, So Scductivcly are
the proceeds Of labor being poured into
the Golfers Of the trust magnates that

The masters amass great fortunes,
build palaces, sport yachts, automo-

even build palaces for their horses AMI

progress OF time. The trust has come
Waay; and under the existing political
Vs'ems will dominate legislation to its

Tue socialist offers the only remedy:
"'me people to own the trusts. Con
