doubtful whether there has been for halt
q century presidential election in this
country that expressed the deliberate and
intelligent Judgment of the whole body of
the American people.
PRAup WORSE THAN VIOLENCE.
The election bill that was under consid.
Grafton n few DAYS ego was intended to
deal with one part of the great evil TO
which have alluded lint IL was an inner
feet. a martial and an incomplete remedy.
Violence ia had. bGt Craud ia no better, and
IL ia more DANGEROUS. because 1t il more
insidions. Burke said, in one of those i'm.
mortal orati,iI4 ibal cmptied the Honse of
Commons. but which will be read with adj
miration SO long as the English tongue
shall endure. that when the laws OF Great
Britain were not strong enough to protect
the humblest Hindoo upon tho shores of
the GanVes, the nObleman was not safe in
his castle upon the banks of the Thames.
Sir, that lofty sentence is pregnant with

Government, until il ia lust as safe for a
black Republican TO vote in Mississippi as
If he were white Democrat in Kansas.
THE TYRANNY or COMBINED CAPITAL.
The evil. Mr.. President. the second to
which 7 odyerted "a threatening the An fetv.
If it does not endanger the existence of
the Rspublic, is the ivranny of combined,
concenirafed, centralized and incorporated
capitai. And the people are considering
this great problem now. The conscience
of the nation is shocked at the injustice of
modern society. The moral sentiment of
mankind has been aroused at the uneql,al
distribution of ,cealth, at the unequal dr.
fusion of burdens, the benefits and the
privileges of society. At the beginning of
our second century the American people
have become profoundly conscious that
the ballot ia not the panacea for all the
evils that aiIlict humanity; that it has not
abolished poverty, nor prevented Injustice.
They have discovered that political equal.
ity does not result in social fraternity;
that under democracy the concentration
of greater political power in fewer hands,
the accumulation and aggregation of
greater amounts Of wealth ia individuals,
ia more possible than under monarchy,
and that there is tyranny which il moro
fatal than the tyranny of kinga.
General Washington, the frat President
of the republic, nj the close of his life, in
1893, had tho l,~e.. ,i5 ,te fortune in the
United States of America. Much of this
came by inheritance, but the Father of his
Country, in addition to his other virtues,
shining and illustrious, was n very prudent,
sapaoiOus, thrifty and forehanded man,
He knew good thing when he saw IL, a
great way off. He had keen eve for the
main chance. As surveyor. in his vouth
he obtained knowledge that enabled him tc
know exceedingly well the value put upon
the public domain. The establishment OF
the national conital in the immediate
vicinity of his matrimonial possessions
did NOT diminish their value. He was a
inst debtor. Init he was an exact. II moi
sTaotinp, creditor, And 40 n came 10
mass that when he died he was. tn nae the
expressive nhraseologv of the dav. the
riehest man in the oo9ntrv.
