10000 men, and amassed fortune
Of $500, 100000 Without comparison
or explanation, this vast sum is hard
ly comprehendable. If Adam had lived
until the present time, he would be
about 100000 days old; and if he
had worked every day since the date
of the creation, Sundays and holi-
days included, and received $1,000 per
day, and never spent cent Of his
earnings, he would not now be worth
as much as Mr.. Carnegie, he would
only be worth $4s4,0oO, 100000. Car
negie could have given $4,000 to
each of his 10000 workmen, and still
have 100000, 100000 left, sum entire
ly too large for any one man. But
money pocketed by mill boss never
leaks through in ten thousand dollar
chunks to his workmen. Carnegie
sold out to the United States Steel
trust, a properly named combine, be-
cause assisted by an unjust tariff it
is continuing the business of stealing
from nearly everyone in the United
States. Governments are established
to promote the things which are of
greatest benefit to the greatest num-
Der; and not to assist few individu-
ais to take that which in justice and
equity belongs to the laboring mass
les, to the nations wealth producers.
This robber tariff must be revised
by the friends of the people.
9. Bryan will win. because no la
boring man can look at Taft without
seeing Sherman, his yoke-mate, and
seeing the mailed hand, which for
years has driven the representatives
of labor from the doors of Congress
without redress or hearing. Election
day will be true labor day; a day
when labor will balance accounts with
its Shermans and all other agents of
law-defying wealth; a day when la
Dor will send these dominating indi-
yiduals back through the jaws of
monopoly from whence they came.
10. Bryan will win, because the
wise policy established by Washing
ton and jealousy guarded by the peo-
pie ever since, that no president
should hold office more than 2 terms,
is being trenched upon by President
Roosevelt According to this I'M
written law, a president who has
served two terms should surrender
his trust and leave the people free to
choose successor No president
should use the great powers of his
office to either continue himself I'M
power, or to dictate who should sue
coed him. But this time-honored pre-
cedent has been ruthlessly disregard
ed by Roosevelt He commenced by
interfering with the rights of his par
ty associates in the naming of a.
presidential candidate, and he is now
engaged in an unseemly and discreet
table attempt to elect the man whose
nomination he dictated. This con-
duct on Roosevelt's part has created
feeling of resentment broader than
party lines, and rapidly growing each
succeeding day. This resentment is
rapidly undermining the Presidents
erstwhile popularity. His best
friends are now admitting that in a
personal CONTROVERSY his feet are
clay.
IL. Bryan will win, because he fav-
ors law guaranteeing bank deposits,
a law which is wanted by the peo-
pie, for the reason that it would alb
solutely secure the savings of the
many when deposited in banks; all
law wanted by the people, for the
reason that it would buttress the
country's financial system, as the
foothills buttress the mountains, and
if not entirely prevent, mon
ey panics in the future; law want
ed by the people, for the reason that|
Il would give every citizen, making a
deposit, as good security as the gov
eminent now requires when 1T makes
a deposit. The government demands
special security for every dollar it
deposits in bank, and most people
believe that what is good for the gov
eminent in such matters. would also
