Mr;IIawtlioinwiiite's ine-eliug in lhe "Miners' Hull was not the. same i.v- eiiing, but llie'next night. The greater part of his speech was not a bitter harangue against all forms cf wealth (why, he extoled the trti-its), but against the manner iu whi-.-li 'iiiosl ol the wealth produced is di- varied Irom its rightful owners. Nor did he propose to confiscate' it when his'parly came into power, for he inaiiiLained that until the U. S. took the lead, his party were powerless'to proclaim Socialism. Ne did not picture .Socialism in nil its" beauty, lie painted capitalism, not in all* its horror (that were impossible to any living man), but in some phrases oi its horror, San' Salaift,, having _ 'iiteu ,10 an end of these fabrications, ^ let uie beg ol thee, forget, not this shining example of dutiful emulation of lhy worshipful sainlship. ; .

"»iv, I trust you will not allow the lbsurd assumption ' thai only the exj>e-,..i; lions of sane men arc callable •■;[ r:- ali/.alion, to cloud your judgment. , Not thiily years ago no -sane ian ever expected anything of Bell's, telephone; in lact oiie sane'man to whom he oflered half interest if lit ' wor.id use his inlliieiice in promoting it, 01- "'dcrFd'hirii^tij-i7e7"tiirown—dowiist*u'.'r*S'ii- he ever came back with his "lool-" lalkin'g , machine."

Title | The Fernie Ledger |
Publisher | Fernie, B.C. : D. V. Mott and G. G. Meikle |
Date Issued | 1906-07-25 |
Description | The Nakusp Ledge was published in Nakusp, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, from October 1893 to December 1894. The paper was subsequently published as the Ledge both in New Denver, from December 1894 to December 1904, and in Fernie, from January to August 1905. The Ledge was published by Robert Thornton Lowery, a prolific newspaper publisher, editor, and printer who was also widely acclaimed for his skill as a writer. After moving to Fernie, the paper continued to be published under variant titles, including the Fernie Ledger and the District Ledger, from August 1905 to August 1919. |
