its wealth, may employ orators to plead
Its cause, and in the momentarv disnlav Of
wealth, the multitudes lose sight of the
principles which bring continued prosperity
and abiding happiness. We know too we'll
what the corruptions of monied classes
have wrought In other nations. History
warns US OF the sad fate of Rome whose
soldiers stood upon the ramparts Offering to
the highest bidder the imperial office Of a
vast empire. When such men as Alger en-
ploy their wealth for political preference.
1t naturally forces men to investigate the
causes OF these corrupt methods. He is a
lumber man OF Michigan. The policy of
the Repuoncan party protects him against
the competition of Canadian lumber men
By this tariff, the man who builds a home
on the frontier must pay the government
burdensome tariff and foster the monopo-
list who corrupts the sacred institutions of
our country. But the consistency of that
party Is further eXemplified in its treatment
of the neighbor of the poor man that paws
the government royalty in building his
home. For the railroad monopolist, this
burden IS not meant. He may draw his
timber for ties and other purposes without
tariff. This discrimination between the
poor and the rich defeats the ends for which
government was created, the equality of
all. In buying up the votes of the people
in few doubtful states, the Republican
party has defeated the express wishes of
the majority of the nation, for the popular
vote of Grover Cleveland exceeded that for
General Harrison by one hundred thousand
If
THE WILL OF THH PEOPLE
had been subserved, a Democratic presi-
dent would have been in the White House
to day. The Republican party often re-
hearses the pathetic circumstances of the
civil war, claiming honors for what they
did twenty-five years ago, and pointing to a
dead past. Yet in this war for the preser-
walton of the union, large proportion of
Democrats fought. Nor was that dreadful
story ended when the dogs of war were
called home. For years, the Republican
party let loose the iackals and hyenas in the
perSOnages of carpet-baggers to harrass
and cruelty Cypress their opponents who
had met them in open warfare. They
would turn upon the west this same class
of men and disrespect the rights Of the
people to local self-government. The Re
publican party long continued their efforts
to keep discord rank in the feelings Of the
nation, and these feelings were not meas
urably allayed until Grover Cleveland
stood at the head of our government. This
insane war cry was well illustrated, few
DAYS since, in Salt Lake. McManamy de-
liberately murdered man in custody. At
the trial it was brought out that this Nc
Manamy had enlisted in the Federal ser
vice when boy seventeen years old, and
this false sentiment influenced debauched
and pusilanimous jury in declaring that he
was not murderer. Democracy advocates
the greatest good to the greatest number
and has a great and grand destiny. 1t is the
advocate of equal and exact justice to all;
it prOclaimS fraternity, wisdom, and in all
things charity The speaker was frequently
applauded.
1t was expected that Judge P. H. Emer-
son would tell the students why he is a
Republican, but severe illness has pre-
