THE STAKE IN THE COUNTRY.
Moneybags :It is monstrous that I, the possessor of all this wealth, should have up more voice in the coming elections than the common working man who has 'no stake in the country. 7 I call upon you to reDeal the c one man one vote ' law and remedy this inequality. r J The WoBBUfG Man : Is it true that I have no stake in the country ? Here is my only hoy. Is he notomore to m|e than all that miser's wealth is to him ? May he not exercise a greater power for good in the future of the country than all that gold ? " . - , ' .. re Pebmieb Seddobt : The balance has decided. Let it never be said that the working man with a wife and^fanaily^fbrighraacl promising children has no stake in the country— aye, a greater stake even than the vioh ma.w»n stocks, his gold, his cattle, or his houses.
