This disaster cannot be averted by Thomas B. Reed, the idol and
recognized leader of the Republican party, forcing the producers of
those few ship loads of products to consume them themselves. The whole

advising the millionaire to be extravagant. Or by taking the
labor-saving machinery away from the people, and keeping them longer at
their toil, as this humbug has suggested.

Our leaders are incompetent. Argument here is needless. We have plenty
of everything, and plenty of hunger at the same time, which shows

unlearned in their ways is at the mercy of the quacks of all three.
