When We calmly onsider she language
OF Senator Rssgan waen he says:
"cGat class legislsuon has transferred
the wealth of this country by law from
the many to the few, to that extent that
farming has become q degraded occupa-
ton, and thst the farmers. once happy,
once loving and respecting their govern
meut, are now disseminated anu Inurmur-
log and milking up nrgsniz s.ions soch %
GrsaCes, AlIlsncas, Uaion Labor psrties
and Knights Of Labor, 70 protecs them
selves against the sggressions OF the
money power and those who are pressing
class legislation"
Taess expressions coming from one &C.
cupyirg the highest position Ct honor that
ecu De Conferred 0y our state, and one
who has ever proven friead to the PEG
pie, is certainly 81 d ;ient cause for our
ncsb serious and careful confederation.
Waep tie thought is forced upon cur
m!rd that uI i3s class Legislation has oesn
carried 10 tbs. extent th.. tie occupation
that produces the wealth, prosperity md
happiness Of our country, and is IN. great
heart thst forces the life-bl througl
TIE action Of every other human enter
prise, is now considered degraded &C.
cupauCn.
Col Mills has warned us against this
Class Legislation, aad ssya:
"Phs present system Of national bank
ing ia q system Ct national spoliatiou OF
500. 600, 900 every year" And says:
IA generous government taxes its poor
lSbcriag people to obtain money to be-
stow upon its fsvorites.
Again in cont Eding against the policy
Of the executive upon the question OF free
coinage Of silver, be sppesIs TO the lEbor-
ing man to "Erite 1t on his wsis.le.e,
carve It on his frontlets, and wesr it IS
sn amulet over his heart that scarce
monty is his sieepless and unf0rgiving
foe, foe whose bosom never swells with
sigh OF sorrow, whose eye never moist
ens with tear Of pity"
MI. Calberson, also upon the same sub.
Jet, In regard to the policy OF the eIssu-
dive, says:
"Tne proposition cow made to abandon
the fruits Of those magnificent triumphs
OF Democracy over the combined powers
OF monopoliss and to repeat the folly OF
the Republican psrty, By destroying Our
growing volume Of money, either by the
suspension OF the coinage Of silver or the
redemption and cancellation Of green
backs falls on the ears Of the people like
the sounds Of flrebells at night" and then
asks the question:
care there no loftier Gins or nobler
purposes to inspire the hearts Of Democ-
racy than blindly following lin the paths
Of outrage and wrong made by the Re
publican party cvsr the rights Of the peo-
p,t?"
have referred to these great and vital
questions upon WHICH tee political battle
OF 1884 Was fought erd won, especially
the effort TO perpetuEte the bonded debt
IN the interest of natiolal b<nks, Of which
the New York Herald says:
"Iu all ssriousness, any king, In or out
CT Chiiatendom, who should iIf1.ct upon
his people suca burden rs cur national
oank:5g system would forfeit his head on
tbs scaffoid" know the impression Is
made upon the people that uuder existing
LAWS there Is no relief from the burdens
