It k friwn outright to the in-J
fant railroad corporations 247,000
square miles of land. An
almost as large as Texas and con
siderably larger than the German
Empire. The government has
certainly been very liberal in
land grants to the great railroad
corporations and further help has
been extended them by the law
makers of the country by allow
ing them to bond and water their
stocks until they have been able
to STEAL from the people of the
nation a sum many times greater
than even the frightful cost of
our Civil War!
Right political and right social
conditions would have made these
grants of lands to the railroad
corporations impossible. Right
social conditions would have pre
vented the fratricide of the Civil
War and would have prevented
the war between our country and
Spain.
Social conditions were wrong
in Roman times. Social condi
tions were wrong in Feudal times.
Social conditions were wrong in

farmer get? Professor W. J.
Spillman of the United States
Department of Agriculture says:
".The facts indicate that on the
whole the income of farmers in

the income
those things consumed on the
farm where they are produced is
certainly not more than sufficient
to pay 5 per cent on the invest
