petty thieves, government thieves,
bank robbers, train robbers, land grab
bers and national bankers, who are
the greatest band of organized thieves
that ever held up and robbed or looted
a civilized nation or the inhabitants
of any country on the globe, and the
liquor traffic is as but a grain of sand
/ on the beach.
Nearly all thieves have certain
things they will steal. A negro loves
watermelons or something to eat The
horse thief steals horses and makes a
good neighbour The train robber robs
trains and banks, and is gentleman
in other resi- eets, aud will do you a
favor as quick as any neighbor you
may have He will help the poor, a
cripple or widow even more than
the church and the National banker,
who after sitting behind the bars in
his bank all the week and compelling
the working people, both strong and
weak, widows, Orphans, cripples, lame
and the blind, to give him from ten to
twenty per cent. of the fruit Of their
| toll, will then go to church on Sun
| day, pass around the hat, sit in the
amen corner ana smile, while the
preacher tells how bad it is to be a
petty thief or drink a dram, and how
awful it is to be a horse thief or train
robber, when according to scripture,
it is no worse for thousand men to
steal one dollar each, than for the
| banker to take one thousand dollars.
In other words, a bank robber holds
! mp a bank and rObs it of ten thous-
and dollars; the banker holds up the
public by laws and takes ten thousand,
but it, all the same with God. One
gets it by dribs anu the other gets it
| in pile.
You have been thinking all the
while, that we elect men to make and
enforce law for us, to keen down sin
! and vice and punish offenders Of the
law, but instead they have made laws
produce, There is as much justice for
our (their) government to grant char
ters for other thieves to steal tenth
Of our horses, cattle, sheep, corn,
wheat, and all farm produce as it is to
charter national bank to rob us of
one-tenth of our money.
The national banking system is the
father of the Oil Trust, Beef Trust,
Steel Trust, Lumber Trust, Railroad
Trust, School Book Trust, Coal Trust,
Drug Trust, Clothing Trust, Tobacco
Trust, Sugar Trust, Coffin Trust, Ice
Trust, Shoe Trust and seventy-two
other trusts, organized while ,"big
stick was busting" them.
Now l must close, but want to say
have only given you glimpse of
"our" government No, we have no
government and how glad they 1.-THE
Trusts are to spend little of their
money to have US fight, bite and de-
your each other while they rob us.
They hire men to pitch us bone to
gnaw on, such as prohibition, free
silver, high tariff, low tariff, ETC..

Men sell it now only because of profit.
Men Lrlnk it because of ignorance an
troubles forced on them by our robbing
system. Give all men what they pro-
uuce and you will soon be cursing
those who have been on your back and
see how easy to enjoy everything from
natures gifts to the finest products OF
human labor and skill.

Let "our" government loan money
through it's rostmaSters to the people
at per cent, one per cent be retained
in the county, one in the state, one in
the nation. Abolish national banks.
Give every man what he produces, es-
