Gen. Croeksr's speech at the Court

Gen. CrOcker's Speech at the COurI
House.
The court room was well filled last
nIgnt with people eager To hear the
distinguished Iowa agitator, Gen. Crock
er. The speaker was introduced by Mr.
MaxsOn and at once boldly waded into
his theme. He said that 1t was visible
on every hand that the laboring masses
all over the country were rising up in
their might in resistance 10 monopoIIes
of all kinds and degrees. Labor has all
TO gain and nothing 10 lose. Ninety
per cent. Of our population are laborers
and have rights which capitalists are
bound % respect. The battle between
labor ana capital will be fought with
the ballot in this country aud with the
ballot in Europe.
The speaker then proceeded in q lorci.
bic manner to recount the beneficial
results that labor has produced. The
number of capitalists is constantly
growing, as evidenced by the fact that
there are now five hundred milIIonaires
as compared with twelve in 1864 There
are only three ways,to acquire wealth, TO
work for 1t. produce 1t by labor or steal
1t. Glass legislation has been the pro-
ducing cause of the present trouble IN So
ciety. If labor is the creator OF wealth,
and the creator greater than the
created, then labor is greater than CAPT
tai and ought to be respected more.
The speaker took a decided stand
against the protective tariff, and called
1t a system or robbery. Discrimination
is robbery and protection Is discrimin-
alton. He said the people of this coun-
try has granted the railroads of the coun-
try 300. 100000 ncres of Landau empire
six times larger than the state of Kansas
and ten times the size of the state of
New York. Railroads hold their land
till they become valuable because of the
labor OF adjacent farmers and then sell
IL at large advance. The cOlored man
Is IN greater bondage now than he ever
was in the days of slavery. We are all
slaves to capitalists. The soldier has as
good right to gold for sevices as the
blohted bondholder has 10 it for interest
on his bonds. The Knights of Labor
seek to give labor the rights it ought to
have.
The address was we'll received and the
speaker was heartily applauded at its
close.-Wedncsday's Daily.
