THE INDEPENDENT VOTE.
MY FELLOW CITIZENS: In looking over this
large audience of troubled human faces feel
oppressed with the weight OF responsibility
which am now called upon to share with all
my countrymen. No ordinary circumstance
could have brought large concouIse Of peo-
pie like this together. We sll feel and know
we are in the presence OF Impending dangers.
You have come together for counsel and s. M
patny. The dark shadow ri bankruptcy and
ruin covers the land. Dismal forebodings
nave taken the place of that peace, joy and
conteHtment which are the rlghtfui portion
industrious people. Year after wear
comes and goes. but the prospect OF relief grows
seems like grea mount ain frowning down
upon u.s. We are hundred fold worse of
now than we Were four ) ears ago, when our
relief wss so freely promised.
EVERY PROMISE THEY MADE THEN
has been violated, and our hopes, one after
another, have been driven away by bitter dis
appointments. Why is all this SO? IL needs
no elaborate answer on my part. You Gao
furnish the answer yourselves. We are AT last
reaching the elimination of a system OF gov
eminent, that Is wasting the resources OF

needs no comment. During all the
DARK YEARS OF THE GRANT DYNASTY,
the rule seems to have been that the people
were made for the government, and not the
government for the people. The government
should have exercised fostering care over the
industries of the people, but instead of that the
industries OF the people St EN- to have been but
mere food for the government TO fatten upon.
A nation is just like a family in this respect.

they do tOa family. They result TO both alike,
from industry and economy. Every other
road but that leads To ruin. The startling fact

death. Public speakers, my fellow cit. zens,
are too apt to flatter the people. They are
often too ambitious to keep in good fellow
ship with them by saying only those things
which will make them feel satisfied with
themselves. The people are luIled into pleas
ant dreams in this way, when in fact they
ought to be AWAKE and on the alert against
dangers. propose to talk the truth to YOU

Mr.. Hanna then went in an extended dis
,ussion OF the financial question. He reviewed |
The legislation on the subject, showing that |
the Republican party was responsible for the
pre- sent monetary troubles, and that the In
dependents make mistake in not joining |
with the Democrats FIR financial reform. He
spoke of the decentralization of silver, con-
demning the action of Congress and calling |
for the restoration OF the old silver dollar. In
onclusion, he said:
Indiana is infested to-day with whole |
army of
FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC HUMBUGs,
public plunderers, charlatsns, palsied de- |
bauchees and small salary liars, gathered here
together from New Jersey, Pennsylvania, |
