The struggle between
“big uns” and the “little uns”
has been Jn progress for half a
century. We have before us a
paper issued in October 1898,
in which the editor said:
“The concentration of social
conditions, is alarming, and
leaves but one result possible —
the control of all industries by
a small set of capitalists, with
all the people held in thraldom
Utterly unable to come at the
means of producing wealth,
except by the gracious permis-
sion of their masters.”
The writer goes to say:
“The sphere of industrial
their “pound of flesh,”
goods shall be sold.
I Whenever anyone points out
the fallacy of their short-sight-
ed policy, they immediately
brand him as a communist, and
remain blinded with their
| greed for more profits, not real-
| izing that they arc bringing
i ruin on themselves and their
country.
