FOURTH CRY

            Hasten to supply the poor with stable sustenance.
            All of the plagues have come together to worsen the plague of misery.
            To the long tyranny of the Aristocrat, the Nobles, the Priests, the wealthy Landowners and the Rich people which caused so many people to be poor despite a fertile ground which since then has become bare for the most of them, have been added the ravage of storms, an awful winter, a late season, the undoing of the Government, the appropriation of Monopoly.
            Of the twenty-five million men who live in my Fatherland, eighteen million, at least, are dying of hunger.
            Money, held by a few hands, does not circulate.
            All the manufactures and the most useful, the most productive of them all, Agriculture, languish because of a lack of resources, because the sense of active emulation given by the spirit of land ownership is lacking.

We might soon resemble the Moors whom the Romans so easily conquered, because their whole country, ungrateful to the degraded and oppressed multitudes of the poor, was the prey of just a few great Landowners. While waiting for a just Constitution to bring back among us the reign of morals and laws, to re-establish equal justice in land ownership and wealth, and to ensure a salary and jobs for the poor, while waiting for the gold and harshness of the rich to stop making humanity moan, ensure daily bread for its artisans, these day Laborers and these plowmen who feed you, who provide heat for you, who clothe you, and who themselves do not have their own clothing, heat, or food.
