AZ olght o'clock the speaker was intro

gontoman OF probably forty.llyo years Of

nj ease In tho poaition which no was
Occupying. Mr.. Wnttorgon was born and
raised In Washington City, and whom
quito young lac entered the newspaper of
flee OF his father ana remained there for
some years. This allowed him an ample
opportunity 10 become personally Nc.
quaintod with oil the prominent politi-
clans and statesmen who oiihor visited or
lived In that city His remarks last night
were forclble and woll takcn. In part
thcy were as followa.
There IL not u question, public or nrl-
yato, that has not two sldoa 70 II, Indeed,
| am not certain that oa rule we are not
mostly wrong, whom We are emphatic that
wo are In tho right. II you viii llX the
map OF North America In your mind'g eye
you will behold u wonderful empire, one
which Cmanr mover looked upon the Ike,
What u wealth ~ hero 10 elevate tho mind
and inspire the heart, IL thoro anything

u great thing 70 have plenty OF money,
What spondthrlft has not paid his dohts
from the usufruct Of his visions. From
the poor creature who expects money and
goes into debt for II with the expectation
OF having II, and the pOlo woman who IN
looking and waiting for the lottor that
mover came, TO the bravo lad who stands
nt his anvil In the blacksmith shop and
wc0rily tolls during the ontirc day
| 10 obtain possession OF hn honest dollar,
the possession OF money IL moro elton u

IL is u truth that the trading In money
hnrdons and lowers the man ten timos
more than II oloyntcs him. What q great

most cnsos OF dofalcation OF an omployo
he intends 10 repair the discrepancy IN
full up 10 the very hour of his Hight to
that famous resort for mon OF this class,
Canada. Hypocrisy Is one OF the greatest
evils which we have to. contend win n
hunlan nature. You will find thcfn in oil
positions, In all classes OF society, In the
church acting as pillars, and occupying
prominent positions In many different
ways. The only honest hypocrito, Is the
stage performer who changes his ch0rnc-
Ter every night 10 that Of another IN dif'
ferent act. Hypocrisy ~ moro cowordly
than fraudulcncy. What IL tho chief
trouble IN this country ~ TINS

Of both races. | have never seen
or heard OF moro propostoroua
thing than removing these people 10 an
other country. Tho tariff, that old sinner,
has been SHINING for some timo past and

pineps IN the coming Of one kind thought
than can bo extracted from. millions Of
