those dark days from 1861 TO 1865. Tho
crisis Is not as great az II was then
but there is a real crisis. our effort
is 10 secure better and more even
chance for the average man. We do
not wish TO do any injustice TO the
man OF wealth or to the great corpora
ton, but We wish TO see that they do
not do any injustice TO the little man"
