THE JUDGES ADDRESS.
Loud and prolonged applause gret ted tie
Appearance Of Judge Thurman, whcse
voice showed sigDs Of wsariness from his
meetings this week. Wren the cheers ard
cor fusion and subsidized, Judge Thurman
spoke as follows;
Mr.. CHAIRMAN, LADIES AND GENTLE
MES:-This is happy day in my his. II
gives me more pleasure than can express
TO see before me-, and around me so grand
a gathering Of the Democracy of the great
State Of indians. 1t fills my heart with
Joy 20 believe that you will give the vote
of yOar State next November, only few
weeks from now, for the reelection of that
noble man, who has filed ths Presidential
Office with so much distinction and with
so much bravery, Grover Cleveland, your
President Applause.
When accepted the nomination for the
Vic:-Prt sideney, l stated what was the
truth. that hsd not sought the nomina
ticp, but that if / could be Of sny service
ia promoting the reelection of Grover
Clev alaud, / felt it my duty to be candi-
date on the ticket. Now, my frierds,
feel greatly encouraged, aud fully believe
that success will again perch on the ban
ner of the Democratic party. Encouraged
by your prestncs / will endssvor to say
soa e few things that hope you will carry
with yCu 20 yonr homes and think Of be-
tECea now and election day.
THE HOOKING VALLEY DECISION.
And / do not bslieve that can do bet
ter ttan 70 spesk upon that subject to
which your worthy chairman alluded, the
subject Of labor, net to sreak Of the decis-
ion OF mine to which he 50 kindly alluded
l claim no cred for that excs pit the credit |
that belongs to an honest man who hon
estIy discharges bis duty. Great sp- |
plapsel Igave my judgment as Judge;
and } JudEe cannot claim peculiar merit, |
because he does what his Office requires Of
him to do, decide according to the right
# the case. But there was some grstifi- |
cation, must coDf<sS, in finding the right
of it. The cause Wss attended by sutfs:- |
ing and wants of the lsboriug men and
Brought about a p ace between them and |
their employers that has lasted in the
Hooking valley from that day to this.
But let us look into this labor question
q little. Let us look to the philosophy
of the p'Oluctio1 OF wealth little. That
is rather an elaborate text and yet is o
very plain one when you come to undeT-
staadlt There is something added TO the
wealth of the world every year, unless it
is destroyed by war famine or pestilence
aad that iucSesSs Of the wealth of the
country is produced ty one thing ard one
thing alone and thst is labor.
LABOR MAKES WEALTH.
Every dollar that is added to the wealth
of the world is the product Of labor. The
coal in tbs mines, the precious metal 10
the mines, the crops that are IN the
ground. every one of them sdd nothing to
the wealth of the county until the labor
ing man pats his hand TO them and makes
them 50 much wsslth to increase the val
ut in the land.
That being ths case, the great question
arises. 'HOw is this annual prCdoctton
of we,lth In tie e)untry 10 be s.
,ributed?" That is the great problem.
We koow that the capitalist who lends
his money TO promote manufacturing, ag
riculture or industry of any kind expects
a return in tie shape OF interest, and the
psople, if his rate of interest Is not
tx'ortionate, ae perfectly willing
10 pay him this, which Is his
tr,ft. Then, there is . ssernd man, Il e
mau who carries on the busiress set OF
middle men, the ma1ufsetur,r, the erc-
rlayer, e.c. That man torcows from the
6 p,salist large portion or perhaps al ths
csh with Shich he carries on his business.
That man must have his pEo6t for hii Ia
htr, mis- skill, his risks in the business,
and robcdy grudges hin q reasonable
profit. Then comes the lshoripg man. He
mnss have his shsrs, and he must have an
honest shsrs, OF he is deirauded man.
[Applause.l
LABogs FAIR PROFIT.
Nov, there ia where the trouble comes.
Ttat is the great trobls in this tariff sys-
tenn of ours t1at while the profits Of t is
business may be 80, 40 or 80 per cent, tie
lsborer does not get more than 3 or 4 or
per cent of the profit. l say to you, there
