Show I-To LAWSON. Tll0 lato partnTat 20 Broadway nf Thomas W. LawBon in the promo-, promo-, f Amalgamated Copper, have tl another month m which I .'settle" with the Frenziflor. The February number of Every- ,iv's Magazine Is out, and rcr the bolly ft, or eighth time it is a pro-sevenlr pro-sevenlr foreword to the promised Jon of Amalgamated," but no Amal-8 Amal-8 i7l story-only Lawson's usual gamf i of fiction. Ho makes no ef-Tf'to ef-Tf'to explain the He of his bogus .f insurance Policy In the last num-if6 num-if6 if the magazine. Ho deals out a w of fiction as to how sentiment is Editor the "system" in Wall street, gives much "evidence that his ar-ficles ar-ficles are now intended for consump-tZ consump-tZ i miles away from any centers of financial intelligence. The outside cover of tho magazino this time insults Lawson Instead of Se court. It reads, under the picture S a hatchet. "I cannot toll a He." Most of Lawson's frenzlfication today to-day is in the half-page advertisements In the newspapers advising everybody to sell their stocks- and bonds and afterwards to keep on selling, and to buy Everybody's Magazine. The regular magazino section is devoted de-voted to tho reproduction of newspaper newspa-per puffs of Lawson.. Tho real article Is in the back and tho story of Amalgamated Amal-gamated still further in the background. back-ground. Lawson's center piece this mouth Is: "it la onlv a matter of simple matho- t II mattes to ascertain the day, and that k only a few years away, when ten men H wlli bo as absolutely and completely e I the legal owners of the entire United s States and all thero Is of value in it, y I as John D. Rockefeller is the absolute 1- I legal owner of the large section of it e I of which ho Is today possessed. When i- I the day Is hero the people will legally bo the slaves of these ten men." This . I Is a good sample of tho Lawson fic- 5, I Hon and tho Boston News Bureau will I answer it in a few words, if I If John D. Rockefeller Is possessed d fo $500,000,000 and William Rockofel- i- I ler of $200,000,000, and H. H. Rogers e of $100,000,000, and two other mem- 0 H bers of tho "system" have each $100,- 1 H 000,000, tho brains, tho machinery and it H the "Christian gentlemanllness" of 2G t H Broadway, as described by Lawson, t- H will aggregate $1,000,000,000, but bell be-ll sides these Ave multi-millionaires, o l there are twenty others in the bulld- i- H 'ng whoso aggregate wealth is not less a H than $500,000,000. Somo of them may y be supposed to have millions that are r not a part of tho Lawson robbery sys- it tem, but put them all together and e n their aggregate wealth today cannot d exceed $1,500,000,000 or somewhat ff more than the total debt of the United ll States government. This total wealth of 25 multi-mll- Honalres at 2G Broadway expanded to Wl the total limit is still less than 2 per I cent of the aggregate we"alth of tho United States. ,s ay Lawson's "simple mathematics" e ten of theso "system" men must eat g "P the other 15, before they can hope 3 I ? get 2 nor cent of th wealth of a the country. And then tho Lawson- 'an task is before them at over CO n years of ago to gather in tho other 98 i'I I S,er cent and make in a few years 18 legal slaves" of 80 million people worth more than a thousand dollars n fach or elght' thousand million dol- iars.
