Judge Thurman was presented, on behalf of VES TER The Many Grave Charges He Prefers Against the Democratic Administration.

Re- fering to the capitalist and middleman, he said the next in order was the laboring man. He must have hisshare of the wealth produced, and if he did not get his honest share, he is a defrauded man. That is where the trouble in this tariff system lies. That, while the ‘profit of the business may be 30, or 40 or 50 per cent., the laborers don’t get more than 3, or 4 or 5 per cent. of that profit.
