there must be something out of joint,
fundamentally wroi g and radically wrong
where is 1t Years ago there was no law,
no protection except what lay in mans
right arm. The right of life finally came
TO he recognized and to be known; the right
of personal liberty came to be an operative
power parallel to the rights Of life and
liberty is the right to the profits of mans
labor. If this great power was incorpor-
atcd In the statutes of state or nation 1t
would work q great change. We stand to-
day where we might have stood centuries
ago 1t is a long way from the inception
of an idea TO the PRONUNCIATION of the
principle.
This principle, the right to the profits of
ones labor, can only be established by poll
teal machinery. The mechanic wonders
how he is to make the two ends meet. The
farmer of Iowa, as he sits by corn fire
and reads in the n. l.. Farmer, by a
light of rag dipped in pork grease, that
the corn that he sold for 13 cents bushel
has brought rs cents in the east, wonders
where the profit has gone, the balance was
notused up in carrying it, forgood authori-
ties say il can be carried for ten cents per
bushel The balance is sucked up by
wealthy and soulless corporations of mid
die men For all this we have, IL we choose
to use it, the ballot box. This principle
in regard TO the shaving Of profits is incum-
bent upon us all, we must assume it each
for himself had almost said the Ameri-
can republic is thing of history and not
OF to-day Neither YOU nor | make our
government on elect our rulers, they make
themselves and permit us TO vote for them
Ii is your duty as farmers and mechanics
to form yourselves into associations to min
Gle one with another and discuss those
questions that are of vital Importance to
you all You are too isolated. 1t is your
duty to work by organizations in every
school district ii need nc. and to thorough
ly understand and inquire into whatever
legislation affects you.
The Doctor closed his able address with
a vivid picture of our future rs IN nation,
