REV. DE LA MATYR's ADDRESS. Z
He responded briefly in manner
which held the closest attention of every
one present. He referred to the great
strength of the laboring mems party.
and the fact that when united they
could carry every measure of reform, and
dictate any and all laws that they de-
sired. At the present time there are
many plans of operation, all looking for
the accomplishment of those things that
will benefit the greatest number. The
popular heart is becoming stirred, and
the intelligence of the great masses is
becoming cognizant of the fact that there
is something wrong in the social and
business order of things, which is maxi
ling wider and wider the gulf between
the rich and the poor. Men are begin
ming to see that there issomething wrong
in the legislation of the country, which
makes monopolistic combinations posi-
BILE. Don't complain of the government,
for it is what you have made it. You,
with your votes, are the responsible
parties, and if in your blind adhesion to
political idols you have injured yourself,
you alone are to blame. Z,
/ Dr.=De La Matyr stated that, when
the civil war broke out, circular was
distributed among the capitalists OF
Europe, advocating the abolition OF
slavery in this county, and the creation
of national interest bearing debt, which
could be so manipulated that it would
result in giving the capitalists control Of
labor and the laborers, and result in the
destruction of our boasted American
equality, and establish an aristocracy.
He could demonstrate, too, that the op-
preston of the la boring classes is due to
currency laws. MI An
