a year.

Within twelve years Wall Street would own everything in the world, and mankind would be left naked and starving.
The wildest book of all was called Caesar's Column.

It was in the form of a novel and told how the rich in America worshiped gold and lust instead of God and brotherly love, and how they drove their carriages over the working man's children and left them crushed and bleeding in the street.

America had ceased to be a republic and was an oligarchy of wealth all owned by a dozen great families while the millions were starving.

The end of the book described a great revolution in which the people arose, led by an Italian communist named Caesar Spadoni.
