they are compelled to yield to their greedy masters. If
our great guns in congress and elsewhere could be persuaded
to kick the block away from the conservative "political cap

remedy this great evil which has taken such a deep hold
upon the institutions of this country, they would receive the
lasting praise of their benefactors. The nation would be on
solid footing, and the people would be happy. We are wait
