ben they could afford the things
ry looked forward to with pleasure,
anticipation was as enjoyable as

Germany Is Example.
fany people will not believe this,
Germany is a living example.
Germans were an educated peo-
and few people would have pre-
ted the present condition of Ger
ny. How many people know that
wealthy owners of Germany's big
mess have untold millions of dol
in gold safely deposited in HOl-
d, England and the United States

so low that the manufactured

err nations. German labor suffers

suits is not desired by the Ger
industrial kings; it is far better
keep the people in poverty aud sow
seed of hatred. If the United
