dat when q one \ man gifts de idea
dat he's as good as i three y man he's
shorely breedin' uubblo fur hisself
De Hon. CIngstone gibs US to IN
derstand dat one man has jest rs much
right to dis worlds goods as another,
an some Of yo' am idiots huff to be
lieve him De only right dat 70 Or any
other Twin man has got is a chance 10
arm yo'r way, an yo' can't aIlus git
dat
If 20 Kin cit i few dollars ahead
an make dem few dollars bring yo' in
a few dollars mo. OATS all right. but
yo' jest dun keep yo'r hands oil de BIAS
ket of cokernuts in front of de grocery.
70 may argy dat dey belong to yo' rs
much as to de grocer. but arter three
months in Jail yo' will probably sec de
difference.
People am gwine around cherry day
an sayin' dat no man has a right to be
WORT a millyon dollars while another
man wants fur bread. Oar hain't no
question of right or wrong bout it.
One man will git ahead of another in
money maxim. an yo' can't help it.
YO' might as well say dat one boss has
no bizness to gallop in under de wire
while another am fOolin' away his time
on de backstretch.
NO man was ever yit bon into dis
world who didn't have a show to cit
along Mebbe he has to begin life in
a sawmill, but it depends upon hisself
how long he stays dar. Yo' will find
mighty few o. de rich men of today
who wasn't as pore as skim milk when
dey started out in life. If dey hev
hustled and worked hard and been
cute and forced luck, why should we
be down on EN-?
when yo' find a pussOn arguin' dat
all property orter be divided up. yO
jest trace him back and VOL find dat
he has sOt on de fence thirty days fur
cherry day he's worked He aches to
git sJlnthin fur nuthin. He wants some
one else TO climb de tree fur de chest
nuts
L reckon VOL find de Hon. Cling
stone TO be a man of dis sort. In de
spring. while other folks am plantin'
vans and watermillyons. he's shootin'
craps or sleepin' in de sun. When sum
mer comes and de vans and water
millyOns are ripe. he's ready to argy
dat one man has no biZness TO hev
hundred millyons while another has
none.
"Yo' want TO understand dat man
am what he am. He's hisself and no.
body else. De Lawd didn't dun put
him we're TO be great or small. rich or
pore. It's all left to hisself as to what
he shall become. Yo' must glib him
half de road, and he must do de same
by yO'. De man who gifts it into his
head dat bekase he happens to be bon
he's at de top oh de heap is half fool
I hev dis eavenin' sent word to de
Hon. Clingstone dat dis climate am too
cold fur him and dat he'd better pack
up his bundle and move on. It's none
OBJ my bizness what he may say to yo'
as individuals, but when l find his
doctrines brung into dis Limekiln club
as the things to sw'ar by it becumS
my dooty to move in de matter.
"At our last meetin' l accidentally
left 70 lemons on my desk. Some of
W WHO ueIcNe udl all property SHOulu
be divided up hev divided dose lemons.
Not only dat but 70 didn't even leave
de seeds fur me. OATS bout de way
SIGH ideas work out.
Il am told dat Giveadam Jones was
swaggerin' around a day or two ago
and declarin' dat he was jest as good
man as de next and dat if he had
his rights he would also own a cabin.
As for his bein' as good as l am. we
won't waste any breath diSputin', but
| want to make it mighty plain to him
and to all de res Of yO' dat yor the
cries want to stop right dar. If any Of
yo' go on to argy dat de taters and
pumpkins and squashes and onions III
my cellar am his Jest as much as mine,
yo'll git SIGH dose of bird shot dat
yo'u linger in bed for three months
arterward Let rs now break de
meetin' in to and 60 home"
