was enthusiastically cheered. He said
in substance:
Gentlemen, we are in the midst OF an ex-
traofdi kary campaign. the most exfraordi-
nary campaign / have ever gone through,
many as ! have taken part in during my
liie- We are fn eampasgn In which our
auversarlss have the bofdDs - aud audacsty
10 tell the people tnst the way to make
people rlch is 10 make them pay more
taxes than their government wants iap-
plausei; that the way to benefit the condi-
lion Of man is to tax him aud everything
which is necessary To his exis;ence and
comfort as an American citizen, and that
Is called protection TO the iaboring man.
AS II You could protect the laDofing man
by Evboing him OF his earnings and verify
ing the Odd saying of -robDing Peter 10

tiun and delusion.
rRE BANDASA.
Here followed lengthy analysis OF the
relation of labor 10 capital aud the rela-
lion Of both To the country, in which the
speaker said there could not be single
dollar added to the wealth OF the world
except by labor. Judge Thurman was then
interrupted by applause when he produced
ms bsHdans- You cheer that old ban

how IN the world ever could have gotten
that bandana for you to cheer II IL had not
been for LABOR. Prolonged cheers La

DISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH.
He went on to say that the annual pro-
duction OF tnis world ~ divided into three
or four parts Oae part goes TO the capt
tailst, who furnishes the money aud lends
his money out at interest, and nobody be-
gru0ges MIN his interest ii he only charges
reasonable interest Another part goes to
the manufacturer, the man who carries on
business, and he makes his profit as a
reconpense for his labor aud has work and
skin, aud nobody objects 10 his having q
Reasonable compensation. The remaining
part goes TO the iaDorer. TO pay for his
wages, and II he gets fair wages,
honest wages, then he does not complain.
but If ne uoes not get his fair snare, ii he
Is oppressed, il ne Is trampled down under
foot, If his labor is exacted from him
without Que compensation, then he Is u de-
fiauuee man ana he ought 10 complain.

WHAT THE DEMOCRATS HAVE DONE.
Thurman then said the Republican ora
tors nau asserted that the Democrats were
enemies of the laboring nan, and in this
connection he reiterated the statement
frequently made by him that out Of every
l0O0 in the Democratic party $50 are labor
ing men. Nearly all the happiness they
have on earth, said he, is derived from
Democratic principles which have shielded
them in TINS trouble IN life, and made
them contented and happy and prosperous
men. tConInued appiause.I Democratic
principles gave them the right 10 vote.
Democracy sprang from the sentiments
written by Thomas Jefferson, "All mea are
created free anu equal" The speaker then
defied any man living TO point TO one single
amelioration of the condition OF the bu-
man race in christendom, one single inn
proyement OF the condition of the labor
ing man. that had not been the result OF
Democratic principles.
yErFKRsoS's DOCTRINES KILLED SLAVERY.
why. some one may say, here were the
Southern states that were Democratic, and
they had slavery. Yes; but that sentence
Of Thomas jefferson, all men are
created Tree and equal, sprouted
up aud grew up, aud in the
end made slavery impossible in any part
Of the territory OF the United states. Ap-
plause.l Our Republican friends say 10
the negro that they set him free They
set him free! They would have been in
shaver, for ten centuries 10 come IL they

say il without fear of successful contra
diction. that no improvement in
the rights or in the condition
OF the laboring man In Christendom has
ever been Produced except by the fnfiu-

sppiause.l The Democratic party con-
;aius n majority of the people of the
United States. Ii contains . majority of
the voters of the United States. IL these
men are opposed to the interests of the
laboring man, If they are the enemies Of
labor, then they are their own enemies,

party, You are q sci Of idiots The party
that produced Jefferson and Madison and
Monroe aud Andrew Jackson and Grover
Cleveland lgreat cheering ana voices, and
Inurmsn,' and Thurmsn'l, TO say moth
ing OF other men, is by no means an
idiotie party.
in conclusion he said: 81 think on the
eth day of next month. God willing. We
will teach them = lesson that will max c
them cease TO talk about the Democratic
party being its own worst enemy. lGreat
cheering.
