A NEW PHASE OF MONOPOLY.

* Day by clay we .=>ee the old belief — " the simple plan That lie should kike who has the power, And he should keep who can," Receiving increasing opposition from an unceasingly intelligent democracy. In the old fufidal days a man created his vested interests by some kind of strength, even if that, strength were dishonourably used. At the tail end of the nineteenth century we see the mentally and physically weak monopolising light and air atid water, and existing only on the ignorance of the masses. Land is given to men who never intend to work it, so that the State may buy it back for railway purposes. The State, instead of providing its people with artificial lights, gives a monopolistic concession to a syndicate which can force the community to buy the syndicate's wares at the syndicate's own price. And the only good thing about these monopolies is that they are terminable at some dale or other. There is only one inevitable and changeless monoply and that is Death, which owns every human, from tribune to scavenger, and from poet to plumber. The usual commercial monopoly says 'Give me 75 per cent, of your labour and your life.' Death says, ' 100 per cent of your existence is mine by inalienable right.' The day for that settling must come — it is inevitable — but we may put it off almost indefinitely by strict attention to the laws of health. The large majority of premature deaths are caused by some phase of liver and kidney trouble, but Warner's Safe Cure is an absolute specific for Bright's disease, liver, kidnoy, and other urinary troubles. We tell you that many sores of thousands have had their lives lengthened and their health restored by the use of the Safe Cum Our phamphlets contain numberless testimonies to the value of the Safe Remedies. They are tried, conscientiously made, and sold on honour as literal Safe Cures.
