SAN CARY, who used to make Republi-

ance speeches in this State, is admitted to
be glibtongued and amusing speaker,
but the public fail to recognize the states
man in SomeOt his recent utterences. A
man who thinks that hours work day is
all that this country ought to require Of its
citizens; that We need more money in cir.
culation in this country than in England,
because distances from point to point are
greater; who imagines that the
prosperity Of France is due TO un.
limited paper money issued after the
German war; and who believes that no
man mot fool" is at present borrowing
money to go into business with in this
country, is not deserving OF much atten.
ton on the score oisense aud knowledge.
But these wild ideas, addressed to an au'
dience ofworklng men, inthe course offs
speech exposing the wrongs Of this class
and containing appeals to the most dan
gerous passions, are bv no means as harm
less as the standing itheira advocates woult
otherwise make them. The gist Of Mr.
Cary's speech seems to be, that the laborinl
class are oppressed for the benefit Of tn
