SUCKING THE POOR MANS BLOOD.

Food Spectators and price boosters literally suck
ing the life blood of the poor people Of this country and
are pairing to the bone the resources of those in
moderate circumstances.
And this in the face of war, and misery, and death!
We see much in the press about government regua-
ton of the food question: but definite action
taken by congress to authorize such regulation
We read of law officers summoning Spectators and
going before grand uries but look vain for convc-
tions and jail sentences.
And in the mean time prices Of the very necessities
of life keep right mounting skyward
People who live on the noise they make rush into print
and tell us that it is simply question of supply and de-
mand and that prices will automatically adjust them
selves when the new crops on the market.
1t is not question of supply and demand and prices
will not adjust themselves until the government steps in
with iron hand and slams every thieving specuator
behind the bars and keeps him there
If allowed to run at large they will buy up the
stocks of as they have bought up the old
and prices will be just what they choose to make them.
No expects these reptiles to do anything for the
welfare of their country, but they should longer be
allowed to drag it down to ruin
We can not afford internal troubles with foreign
hands, and a loyal American ask congress
and the government to act and act quickly.
The blood of the poor is disappearing, and in it's
wake will rioting and anarchy.
This must not be- and only official action prevent it,
