What does Fred want them to do to the “laborin people”?
Haint it the “duty” of good men belongin to a army, like Fred, to shoot?
Judge Hutchins and Judge Blandin and some of the other polerticians say Fred hadent ort to a writ that letter, or, if he wanted to write it, he hadent ort to a writ it in that way, because now it is out what the militia is for.
The militia is to shoot laborin men with.
They are afraid some of the laborin people will begin to ask themselves what they are votin the strait ticket for.
“Some good men in case of labor trouble.”
Fred says he jist copied that letter from the ones his predecessors in office have been sendin out to these rich people for years.
Now what is botherin me is how to save them coal operators, and railroad owners, and monopolists, and rich stockholders in monopolies, from havin to pay toward sich things as “keepin up the militia.”
They are leadin citizens and own the coal fields, and railroads, and banks, and trusts, and sich. They are rich, and everything should be done to make it easy for them to git along in the world without trouble.
