passages, 10 which your attention
is especially directed, and | ask
you TO remember, while going
through its pages, that every cor

This system of organizing cor

for a safe and sane solution of

troubles, and, because il must be
apparent TO even the casual OBJ
server, that the root of our trou-
bles lie in the industrial condi-
tions surrounding us, and be-
cause it must be equally patent
that these evils would be greatly

Sir and Friend: | am enclosing
herewith a copy # the Bylaws
of the Bonville 99-Year System,
the purpose of which the follow
ing brief explanation may serve
to make clear:
In view of the present lament
able conditions resulting largely
from the evil of stock gambling
which could not be were stock
certificates non-transferable, and
with a fixed par value of, say,
$l.00 per share-and its attend
ant host of evils; bribery, moral
prostitution, jobbed markets,
forestalling, over large fortunes,
etc, on the one hand, and power
ty, social unrest, suffering, an
archy and the spirit of destruc-
tion on the other. it must strike
you that any just system which
would operate TO give the individ-
ual his due without destroying
that spirit of progress. we might
almost say conquest, " without
which inevitable decay is the re-
suit, should claim at once the at
tention and grave consideration
of the citizen who has his own
best interests, and those of his
country, at heart.
The Bonville 80 Year System,
as must appear from a careful
perusal of the Bylaws before ad-
verted TO, is aimed to promote
industry, justice and temperance
throughout the land. and to close |
those alleys through which the |
unscrupulous reach out and take !
advantage of their weaker fell
lows. We have stopped open
gambling let us now stop that |
which is a thousand times worse

the community at large stock
