ADDRESS OF WILLIAM NJ STEWART.
| President Warner introduced
William NJ. Stewart as the foremost
silver Champion of America. Sen
ator Stewart made one of the ablest
addresses ever delivered by him.
he was well warmed up and spoke
for two and one half hours and when
he showed signs Of relaxation was
urged by his hearers to continue.
He spoke vigorously and eloquently
and was frequently applauded. At
the close of his speech the delegates
crowded about him and congratulate
ed him and on all sides words ot
praise were heard.
He traced much of the history of
financial legislation. Between 1850
and 1879 the country saw wonderful
prosperity, with rising prices. Since
1873. he said, the country has been
bur.lened BIZ hard times brought OH
by legislation. Ia spite Of abund mt
crops and absence of calamities the
people were suffering and the farmers
beng reduced to peasantry, Money
had been TIE instrument by which
the few had always enslaved the
many, and it was a purely artificial
instrument. From the output of
gold and silver in any country he
could write the history of that conn
try, and the pr speiity IF the six
teenth century he attributed to free
money. Tire colleges were the bare
Of the country. because they taught
Ease phi osophy. The god men con
trolled the bankers, the merchants,
the railroads and the press.
Senator Stewart, IN conclusion, !
said tbat the Secretary Of the Treas
ury, when he wanted to learn The
wishes of the people, usually visited
New York bankers. Not only did he
10 this, but he used lis influence to
send commissioners to Europe to beg
of foreign governments the permis-
SION To exercise the right of legisla-
ton. England was the great robber
IF the world. She made no treaty
Of annexation. When she wanted
country annexed she sent her ships
and took it by force, and did not ask
the permission of the United States
Or any other country.
Wall stree., the Senator said,
nominated both candidates of the
political parties for President, and
rom neither man need the friends of
silver expect anything. The people, ,
he said, saw that the last champion !
vas fraud, ard would fight it four
years hence,
