ter,) and one of the cheerful recollections
of my youth is the picture of my vener-
able ancestor with his eyes turned tow
ard heaven, invoking the divine blessing
on our humble fare, while the rest of us
turned our eyes away from heaven and
heavenly things to watch the progress of
a fight between a lion and a unicorn that
appeared to be in progress on the bot
tom of the breakfast plates. (Great
laughter.) never knew how that fight
came out, but as Ipassed throug the city
OF Trenton an hour ago, l could not help.
thanking God that man can eat his
breakfast in the United States to-day
without having the exercises interrupted
by that kind of a chrome. (Great and
continued laughter.) Wendell Phillips
used to say that the main factor in civil
lization is the dollar left over, out of the
weeks wages after the expenses have been
paid. (Applause.) That dollar means
music and pictures. Itmeans the church
and the school. It means the savings
bank and the insurance policy. It may
not be. very large, but it is big enough to
wrap up in it the safety Of nations and
the welfare of ofcenturies. (Great applause.)
It is that dollar which lifts the industrial
level of America above the level of the
old world 1t is that dollar that has at
tracted the industrious millions out of
all lands, persuaded them to lay down
the differences of race and creed and
language, take upon honest consciences
the oath of our citizenship, and receive
in exchange a hope and prospect that
are denied to the children Of the people
in the older countries of the world.

The gospel of Mammon, which in Eng
land, if we may believe Cardinal Man
ming, has produced ''world of wealth
and world of want" already threatens
our own country with similar perils.
The statesmen who have secured the
American markets for the use of the
American people have not fnnlshed their
work until every conspiracy in restraint
of trade, every organized syndicate of
extortion, every system of fraudulent and
fictitious dealing, is scourged from the
temples of legitimate business. (Ap-
plause.) I am a believer in wealth hon
estly come by, and wisely used for the
good of the world. I think that mil
lionaire like Peter Cooper (applause,
with a heart full of love to mankind, is
Gods best gift to modern society. (Ap
plause.) [ would have every man, and
Especially young man, devote the strength
of his years to the accumulation
of money. And if he gets it, let him
bless the world with Ills prosperity. The
homestead is the fixed cornerstone of
American life. It signifies much in a
Government like this that men should
have house to call their own (applause)
"a place to go when they are tired, and
find in the sweet faces of wife and chill
dren the wages of labor. (Applause.)
may be an enthusiast, but I am
living in hope Of the clay when the spirit
of the Workingman of Nazareth shall
complete the worlds emancipation, dry
ing up the fountains of greed and usury
and bringing at last to the weary and
hcavy-laden centuries the age Of justice.
(Great arplause) But I am not looking
for that in the direction of the sand lots
of San Francisco (Laughter;) nor to the
hay market in Chicago, where the blood
of brave men was poured out in the pub
lie streets by a gang Of alien vagabonds;
not to Henry George publishing an idle
philosopy of spoilation and plunder:.
nor TO Edward Bellamy inviting nebul-
Gus dreams of incredible social conditions.
((Applause.) In these days, if Joseph
wishes to have his dreams respected, he
must dream sensible dreams. (Great
laughtes.)
