Editor Entkkirisr: If the editor will allow me the space I will for the edifica tion of monopoly and anti-monopoly describe the result of all their difficul ties as it bus been shown to me that it will be and to do so, the reader will have to excuse me for first calling na ture to my aid for only such occurrences ate a3 natural can take place. All things that is to be are in nature; causes are in nature and are a part of nature and as results or effects are are natural; one is a preparation, the other is the change; one is the bud the other the flower; the bud must send be fore the coming of the flower. Now for a rebiliiltion of how the change anti-monopoly desires will come in about 200 years from now ; the wage system that mother of all the crimes committed, will be cast aside and the salary sysiem will be adopted ; then alb will rather have the salary tban wages and the rich will find in no pos able loafers to do their work, and they will commit suicide by throwing their property away and excepting a salary to Chas.
