To one who rightly considers these it milst l)e apparent that the odium with which shallow talkers and writers invest the word socialism is without intelligent cause, In the railway there are three parties in interest—the owners and managers of the roads, the em ployes of the roads, and the people served by the roads.

Watson’s Gossip. Private ownership of the street rail¬ ways in the city of Brooklyn has loaded 1**» miles of road with $50,000,000 of bonds and watered stock. To get an income from this tremdous amount of fictitious investment, unrea son able charges are made against paid the public, and starvation wages are , laborers. , * result is a great strike, . a block- . , , ade of travel, a paralysis of business, a eel Psion between capital and labor, and a resort to the bayonet, and pow der and lead. Riots have already-occurred and much blood shad. ' 1 ol,r people had the gumption ... to take the public highways out of the ownership and control of the private corporations, tiie dust of the streets would not be so often laid with human blood, * # # Congress gave to the Pacific railroads enough land to make two states as large as Georgia, with Rhode Island and Delaware thrown in for good mea¬ sure ; it also endorsed the bonds of the company to the extent of sixty odd million dollars. Upon these bonds the government of the United States has paid interest to tiie extent of nearly seventy millions of dollars. Besides doing all this congress was bribed into taking a second mortgage on the property, instead of a first mort¬ gage. Such patriots Jay Gould, Russell as Sage, C, P, Standford Hunting,let,, Sidney Charle Dillon, and Letanil and Crocker got the first mortgage. Thus our government furnishes the mousy to build tiie railroads, gave the right of way, and threw in over one hundred million acres of land, and then allowed the speculators to blanket the whole with a first mortgage, which of course puts the government where it lias only a secondary claim on its own land, and upon the road built with its money. This is glorious statesmanship. To make it look altogether lovely, the Goulds and Sages are now view foreclosing their mortgage with the of cut¬ ting the Government off from ever get¬ ting a cent of the money of the second mortgage. this road The Government built with your land and your taxes. Wall Street did not contribute a dollar. Now, however, you are to he made happy by seeing Wall Street scoop the land and the railroad, and -leave you nothing except the consciousness that your old-party leaders have sold you out again. * * # All the Georgia members of Congress, except Mr. Tate, voted for the hill which takes fourteen million dollars of your money to buy four more battle ships and twelve for? more torpedo Carnegie boats.

Our navy has been trebled in tho last twelve yeara, and its expense enor¬ mously increased, hut nobody seems to care. The tax payers are so flush of money, and so fondly attached to their Con¬ gressmen, that a little matter ot four¬ teen million dollars for new engines of death any! destruction is not to he fussed over. * * # “Read your Pibles, go to church, say your prayers, do good to those that hate you—” says the individual citizen. “Huy more guns, exhaust the pockets of the tax payer, treat the citizen as if he were a deadly enemy”-—says the Government.

In 18(>0 the issue was freedom or slavery. To¬ day the issue i:; monopoly or equal rights. Monopoly of money, land, transportation, mines, timber, water, everything in nature tut air, andevery thing produced from nature. Writhing under the present condi¬ tions of destitution, caused by this hydra-headed monster monopoly — men advance many causes for existing evils and as many remedies for the same. Py this multiplicity of causes and remedies, thus presented, the suf¬ fering masses are confused and there¬ by prevented from forming into one unbroken line of battle. I ntil they can be brough t to see thc one great cause and the one great remedy their efforts will he scattered, while grinding mono poly will continue to grind them finer ami finer, First, before then, them—monopoly keep the plain, simple issue favors the few, anti monopoly favors the many.
