Vom Bmemism and Ioryism, (she GIobe)
that the anniversary of our lndePen-
dence was celebrated at Washington
with more than usual demonstrations Of
Joy {: and the same PRINT then holds To the
people of the United States the follow
ing extraordinary hang uage:
The exu'tmg spil in the mid.t Of perils which
prompted lhs demonstrations Off oil the part of
our Gathers when Independence was declared--a
prophetic feeling OF tie blessings conferred on W

present h"ur is Mat Of JnH (ruitiOn May We
hot forget IN This day Of prosperity the stern

When it is remembered that the priT-
ciplrs of the Administration are, that
Amy man who trades upon borrowed ca

the people, because they are the c"nse-
guences Of their own wicked measures.
INLAY we not forget ia he days Of orr
prosperity, Sc."-Ycs, it is day Of
prosperity 10 the worthless tool who paid
debt of $4,000 to the u. S. Bank
with $3.50 who came to Washington in
1929 miserable beggay--a needy aud
unprincipled adpeniurer, aud who by his
total want Of principles, his pros,rtution
OF his press to rhc vilest purposes and his
crusade against the Constitution and the
Laws, has desp"iled. the public treasury
Ot hundreds Of thousands of dollars under
the color Of services rendered, and wh'v
is now rolling in his ILL gotten wealth
wrung from the pockets of the people
1t is day Of prosperity to the thousands
Of oAice-holders, and tools, and IniniOns
of the Kitchen at Washington, who are
living upon the peoples money, and who
glory in ''the pressure which no honest
man should regret" because il compels
the people to labor for them at bali price,
or for the bread necessary for their en-
istence. 1t is a day Of prosperity to all
who live upon the peoples money, be-
cause their salary Is not diminished u
tarthing by "the pressure which Nd hon
est man should regret" while all the
means Of living derived from the labor Of
the poor is already or shortly will be re-
duced one half
/ But ask the manufacturer, who has
been compelled to shut up his factory
and discharge his hands, after seeing the
accumulations Of a whole lie of Industry
swept away from him, whether this is his
day Of prosperity ;-cnquire of the hun
dred thousand men, w"meR and children
turned out OF these factories to beg y pre-
carious support from day to day, and
wholly dependent upon the charity Of the
public for support, whether this is their
day Of prosperity; and they will point YOU
to their haggard and worn countenances,
10 their almost uncovered bodies, and to
their Starring little ones, and let them re-
ply. Turn to the netch ants- to the men
who have been the pride Of our country;
men, whether at home or sbroad-the
support and the stay OF our Treasury and
the admiration Of the world men whose
commerce has white9ed every sea, who
have carried the star-spangled banner to
every cline, and made it respected in
every quarter of the hpbitable globe
who have opened new avenues to nation
al wealth, traversed aud explored un-
known regions, and made the sea itself
annually Weld forth its millions Of treas
ures TO add to the wealth and the glory
Of our country-men, who by their en-
terprise, their energy, their high unfair
nished honor and strict probity, have fos-
tered our agriculture, extended our manu-
iactures, ,and made our commerce second
To none in the world IN short, men who
j. have benefited all other classes and de-
nominations Of our people, and rendered
our country great among the nations OT
the earth ask them, we say, whether
this is the day of their prosperity sad they
will point you to their ships ro,ting II our
wharves, to the grass growing in our
streets, to the thousands Of bankruptcies
which have reduced them from atfluence
TO Poveity-and conclude by telling you
that II these are evidences Of prosperity,
then are they prosperous indeed.
And IL this answer Of the merchants,
does not satisfy the Globe and the Ad-
min's,ration, let them turn to our mechan-
les and laborers Tor information. They
will then tell them that thousands and
tens Of thousands Of their number have
been thrown oSt Of employ ymsnt- that al
ter expending the little saved in brighter
days, they have deposited with the pawn
broker piece after piece of them furpi-
ture, & arinent after garment Of their warsi-
robe, IN the hope oi keeping their wives
and children iiom the alns-house or the
grapi but that with too many u them,
even this last resort has failed, aud "
