Gold Worship versus Dollar Worship

Civilization, in the last analysis, rests
on law and order, wherefore We sub
mi, that it is well for civilization that
the mass Of the people do not know
how they are being held up, cheated
and robbed by the so called trusts.
For long time We have made study
Of the trust brood Of evils, and long
since made up our mind that they
should be destroyed root and branch,
else some day, when the people wake
I'D to the evil, as they surely viii, they
Will, Sampsonhke, pull the temple OF
civilization down on al our heads.
They have, in mighty and ungoyern-
able wrath. done that same thing in
the past, and j, is much easier now,
with our modern agencies Of desuue-
ton, than ever before.
Tariff agitation has revived discus
sion Of some Of the trust ways OF rob
hing the people. A recent mail
brought US some literature bearing on
the sugar trust. that black page in our
history that a shoT; time ago restored
several million dollars to the govern
rsnt-money that ], stole BY methods
beside which the methods of the foot
pad, the saiecracker and the 'rainrob5er
are as white as snow"
The sugar trust stealing was bad
enough. heaven knows, but not 50 bad
in its enec, as its method OF training
weak mor.als with the greed Of gain
in their makeup to steal. Steal IS one
Of the mos, unholy and ugiess words
in the English language, bat it is the
only word that fits in describing trus,
methods. Not only did the sugar
trust Systematically teach stealing jus;
"a old Fagin trained BOYS to pick
pockets, j, wen, farther IN evil. To
cover up its netaIious doings j, found
It Necessary to couup; public officers,
;ures and judges with bTi6e money.
