can you. with safety, repose confidence In

the future hope OF your children-can you
submit these sacred trusts to the dangerous
custody Of . party whose every act has been
in opposition to the spirit OF that Govern

you that. Notwithstanding this, they are yonr

denied that power for which they yearned?
And can you believe them. too. when they

they have no solitary inducement to sacrifice
your interests in any particular?
And now, fellow-citizens. in order the better
to comprehend the magnitude OF the DANCE
to which our liberties are exposed from the
power of this system. we must learn the ex-
tent of its immediate connection with and
direct influence over individual men. And,
first of all, let it be remembered that there
are in this Union s23 banks and branches;
but for the convenience OF an even number I
will state them at eight hundred only. So.
In all the estimates l propose TO give. I shall
assume the most authentic data, discarding
fractions in every particular, and basing my
calculations upon general principles, as
strictly accurate as the nature Of the subject
will allow. Ishall attempt to generalize the
details of this comprehensive and complex
mass OF power, so as to present the result in
one general view.
There are, then. eight hundred banks quar-
tered upon the Republic, occupying the
strong posts of its cities, towns and villages

the full force of disciplined power. But the
nation triumphed: and these ~malcontents.
doomed to see the arms Of their foreign ally
expelled from our shores, shrunk back to
elude the indignation their conduct had ex-
cited.
Thus, after sixteen years Of the most fu-
rious opposition to the will of the people,
SO often expressed. did this party, upon the
election of Mr.. Monroe, retire in shame and
dishonor from the contest. But though re-
tired, they did not despair. Their troops,
beaten and exhausted, were Withdrawn,
| only to await the period when the people,
triumphant and apparently secure, might re-
lax their vigilance and be more successfully
assailed by the secret concert of an enemy,
who, from being silent and invisible, seemed
no longer to exist. That period soon arrived.
The public will being neutralized by a d.
vision, the Presidential election was, in 1924,
transferred from the nation to the House Of
Representatives. There was no Burr to elect,
but there was q jackson to defeat. The peo-
pie were once more helpless. and another OPP
portunity was presented of grasping power
in defiance of them, which did not escape the
ever ~vigilant ambition of their enemies.
The Federal Government was thus usurped
by the aristocracy, who. having strengthened
themselves by an alliance with men hitherto
among the favorites of the country, now
laid 1t down as a fundamental article of their
faith that the representative was no LONGER
to be paralyzed by the will of his constituents.
To avert the public eye from the scrutiny of
their conduct the attention of the people
was pointed to the Congress OF Panama, or to
the more glaring spectacle Of Eight houses
blazing in the Skies" But, as if fearful that
the nation might still be tempted to inquire
"Gentlemen, how came you in Officer" the
! power of the Government was exerted tc
consolidate an influence sufficient to con.
firm and prolong the usurpation. This in.
!, fuence was the 'Americau SYSTEM" BY
!, which the men of the North and the Easf
were to be drawn together in factories ant
controlled by bounties, while the vas
interior, the South, the center. and the West
l were first to pay these %bounties, and then b,
: themselves subsidized into the service of tn,
powers regnant, by their own money, ap
} piled in the alluring forms of internal i'm
: provements. Happily, however, the people
!, true to each other, could neither be beguilet
: nor corrupted. They saw the Government il
the hands of men not of their choice. to tn
9 exclusion of those who were; and, in tn

in hope, and OF purposes desperate and deter
mined. Such. be assured, is the party now in
1opposition-a party. the natural, the invet.
crate enemy of Democracy, of equal rights. of
equal obiigations; q party. the fostering
parent Of all those monopolies that already
darken the face of the land, and which,
should this country ever be doomed to thrau-
dom. win be pointed to by an enslaved pos
terity as the s~epuIchral of de-
parted freedom. Call it by what name you
will, It is the same, u~nchauging party that
arose with the Government. 1t yields to the
same impulses, moves to the same object,
employs the same means now as then. Our
system being already fixed, the wall is up,
and these men can not, therefore,, openly
plant the baleful standard of their faith. But
they are not the less determined upon their
object. The very difficulty of the enterprise,
far from ailaying, infiames their ardor and
enforces their purpose. Their efforts have
been, and still are, first to control the public
will in the periodical delegation of power,
and, secondly, to corrupt the representative
principle by prostituting public agents after
the delegation is made. This. they are fully
+aware. would as effectively subvert the popu.
lar sovereignty and bring the people to sub
lection as If the elective franchise were
wrested from them by the less perfdiouf
agency of arms.
The aristocratlc principle Is, az 1 have
stated, feIlow-citizens, inherentin the nature
of associated man, and hence it has with
truth been remarked that ..in every human
society there is an effort continually tendins
to confer on one part the height of power and
happiness, and to reduce the other to the ex
treme of weakness and misery"
1t Is by the force of this principle that
large body of men become separated in feel
ing and interest from the general mass, and
confederating with each other, embody them
selves into a sort of rival community.
As property, real or imaginary. is the basf
upon which men of this class usually con
.foentrate, u serdid cupidity il at first thei
predominant motive: but that cold ~incentiv

the bitter cold of the evening. all the doors
and windows were open, that the curious
throng might see and hear. At $3.50 the
mus icians arrived. three fidders, one half

Then came the Episcopal minister, Mr..
Robinson, clothed in the garments of his

and wed in nuptial bravery with his dusky
sweetheart. The music ceased and the
minister took his place. ''Who giveth this
woman to be joined unto this MANI" he
queried, and some one hit Red Cloud dig
in the ribs to remind him that it was his
turn. "Me do" he gutturalized, stalking
forward. The ceremony was soon over and,
after prayer, to which all listened rever-
emily, the fun began. The floor was
cleared, the fiddlers resumed their places
and the whites and half-breeds were soon
whirling about in all the gay abandon of
waltz and polka, hoe down and Virginia

approval to the uproar, and outside. and
down in the teepee-lined valley tom toms

moved on apace, and at IL o'clock Gen.

the ability to aid the weak and lead the van

beautiful enough to be the ornament of the
most ambitious municipality; nay, were it
not better that they remind us, in them

the Lincoln that adorns one of their libra
