Of the interests Of the produ ing classes
He then passed. to the great questions of
the day the financial condition Of the Re-
public. This part Of his speech il is but
fair to say, was one of the best efforts of
his life He never appeared 20 better ad-
vantage He was quite at home, and ap-
peared rather to be enjoying parlor con-
versatiOn than addressing public audince.
The speaker commenced with the early
history Of money and followed through
all its various ramiications then of the
various qualities of money, and the mater
ials of which it was and is composed; then
its sccumalting power, and the tendency
OF that power to oppress the weak and
rob the poor. Next interest, and its con-
centratiye and two fold powers now he
compared the accumulative power OF
money and interest as compared with the
accumuIative power Of labor, then their
effect upon labor and commerce, and in
dustry and society at large, showing how
the one was slowly but steadily consuming
the other, and on the one side was arrayed
all the wealth, power and happiness Of the
republic, and on the other all the weak
ness, misery and degradation.
1t would be futile to attempt to follow
him through his powerful effort. Suffice
it to say that it was considered by all who
heard it, to be his masterpiece, and was
received with unbounded applause.
After warm and enthusiastic address
by j. w. Krepps, the meeting adjourned.
