You can save us now.
Governor Waite made a very in
temperate speech of which the follow
! ing is an extract:
"The war has begun; it is the sa me
war that must always be waged
against oppression and tyranny to
preserve the liberties of man that
eternal warfare of monarchy and mo-
nopoly against the right of the people
to government, and which, dur
ing the last century, has SO conquered
the masses as to reduce to pauperism
the common people" of almost every
nation under heaven except the Unit
ed States.
''Our weapons are arguments, and
the ballot "a free ballot and a fair
count And if the money power
shall attempt to sustain it's usurpations
by the strong hand we will meet
that issue when it is forced upon US,
for it is better, infinitely better, that
blood should flow to the horses bril-
dies rather than our national liberties
should be destroyed.o
Judge Belford uttered the following:
"When the dollar Of the people was
coined, the silver dollar, there was
put on it the face of woman. That
face is symbolical for the motherhood,
the wifehood, the purity, the loyalty
and the home of America. When the
$50 gold piece was coined, they put on
it the resemblance of what? The wing
ed hound of the sky and the scaven
ger of the earth. We haven't had an
honest rule in the White House for
twenty years. We haven't had pres
ident that hasn't violated his oath of |
Office again and again.
have always denounced the Sher
man act as unconstitutional. John
Sherman, ex-President Harrison and
a good many more have told us open
ly that the Sherman act was but the
Trojan horse they led into the silver
city. Then, you ask, why not repeal
the law? I will tell you why. They
have reaped all the villainy they could
derive, and [ want it kept there and
make them do penance. We can
stand it. We are not losing anything
when this government is buying 4, $780,
100 ounces of silver each month, even
f it does not coin it. They know that
f the government goes on buying and
toring up this bullion the people will
ONE day rise and make them coin it,
nd make them take it in payment of
ii debts. We have an administra
ion in power now that is little worse
han the one before. We had three
apartments of government, legisla-
i've, judicial and executive. We have
wo departments now, executive and
1diciary. Mr.. Cleveland has debauch-
d the legislative and threatened it |
ntil he controls it. I wish to God
ould be in congress only long enough /
D prefer against that usurper and
yrant letters of impeachment.
I have always been in favor of coin |
1g the American product of our
hines. Silver would Ihave a money /
alue then and be lifted from the COM
lodity Of silver bars. I
I am glad we have had this con-
ention. We have rubbed against 7
ach other, and we know now what to i
o. What the ultimate outcome will /
e no man can predict. But do know [
nat God liveth and God reigneth, and
lie hates frauds and liars, and he gives
ictory to righteousness. So, what
yer comes, we will enter the new
entury with the tread of a giant and
he wings of an eagle.
