Capitalists are unionizcd under the federal reserve
system
Merchants and manufacturers arc unionizcd under
the National Board of Trade.
Labor is unionzcd under several great declarations
and brotherhoods.
Cities are unonized to secure the surplus stocks of

The general government is unonized to deal with
the profits of private corporations and individuals.
1t would appear from all this unonizng that, for
redress of wrong and betterment of condition, union
